Jimmy Choo Man

Hi there friends, I told myself I wouldn't buy this but I did anyways. It's addictive, light, fresh, and fun. Great for the office because you can't over-spray and would be best worn in spring/summer. The good: If you like Bleu de Chanel, of MB Legend type frags, than you will love this! For me, BdC was not appealing because of the incense and slightly perfumey dry down. I would almost call this light bleu, or bleu fresh. For my nose, I can't pick out the melon and pineapple individually but I believe the pink pepper blends them very well, and that the patchouli tones them down so that you don't have a screaming pineapple note like in MB Legend Intense, or Black XS L'exces. What I find is great about this scent is it's performance on clothing and material. The scent of sweet n'dirty suede is highly addictive and lovely (great in the car or on a coat). Women love it and I have received 3 compliments in 5 wearings. The bad: Skin Scent almost instantly - projection is very weak and silliage is not noticeable after 2 hours. If you're sick of the BdC and Legend, Fierce type scents then this will be very tired and boring. For me, I love the scent and I don't like cloying fragrances so it's great! If you do want something that performs really well I'd stick with Bleu de Chanel if you want something heavy. I am happy I bought this, not entirely sure if I would buy again though. It reminds me of a mix between Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise and BdC with a sweeter interpretation of the leathery dry down found in older frags like Quorum.

Initial review was off a paper sample. I bought this one and it's way fruitier and less leather than I was expecting. It doesn't hurt the fragrance much though, it just doesn't get to that exact suede note except on paper after a long time I suppose. Still settles down into that musky patchouli on clothes. Sweet, fresh, musky, a little soapy, hint of leather mainstream masculine. Good performance to me. Signature scent worthy. I can't see myself not having a bottle of this around; I opted for the 200ml. I can wear this anywhere. Definitely worthy of being Jimmy Choo's headliner "Man" fragrance. It's criminally underrated. It should be as popular as Dior Sauvage which I'm not a fan of. It's so good if you're tired of citrus heavy fragrances. Based off initial paper sample: it's a great formal leather smell. Takes me right into a men's suit store. I wonder if the scent would even be noticeable combined with formal wear considering how close the smell is to a fresh suit with leather shoes and belt. Some people mentioned "new car smell" and that's very apt. It's something I'm considering picking up considering the price. However, perhaps you'd want something that makes more of a statement for a formal affair. It's simple, masculine, mass appealing. You can smell great without smelling like you try hard.

It took me a while to realize that Anne Flipo, who created Jimmy Choo Man, is one of the perfumers who was behind Invictus. I guess that's why this smells (to me at least) like 75% Invictus coupled with 25% Sauvage. The opening is super sweet, as the melon dominates the pineapple. This might still be too sweet for some, but it helped me realize melon and pineapple are two of my favorite top notes in a fragrance. The melon helps take away from the zing of the pineapple, but the pineapple helps prevent this from leaning too feminine. It's like opening a super fresh fruit salad, and it doesn't smell all that synthetic. The mid/base notes are more in line with how Sauvage opens, the melon blends into this peppery spice, minus the ambroxan. I get every bit of 6-7 hours on my skin with the first 2-3 radiating pretty strong off my skin. This will smell familiar and might be forgettable pretty quickly, but it's a good enough blend to warrant a try for the spring/summer if you can find it for a reasonable price. 8/10

FIrst time today with a full wearing and I just wanna say this is a terrific smelling fragrance! I see where people are saying that there is a slight nod to BdC. I sort of get that in the very first few minutes of the opening....but honestly, it’s fleeting and not really all that close to my nose. What I do get in the dry down though is something that reminds me of a more mature version of A&F First Instinct believe it or not. Kind of this semi-sweet fruity/airy/spicy/suede thing going on. Very nice!!! People complain about longevity, but I used 3 sprays(on clothes, in full disclosure)applied 7hrs ago and I still smell it just fine. I would even say the first 3-4hrs it was projecting nicely. Sure, it’s nothing super unique...but at $26 for a 100ml, it’s a great smelling and good performing frag IMO. Very pleased with this blind buy! EDIT-this things gets AMAZING compliments from woman. Seriously, if your looking for a very versatile fragrance that is a compliment monster....look no further!

I love this scent because it is so mass appealing. I know a lot of people hate that. But i like it because it is a very generic and safe scent. It smells like the Hollister stores in the mall when you walk by or any of those hipster places that soak everything in their house colognes lol. I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. Good enough for that $35 mark or if you can find it cheaper. It lasts about 4 hours tops. I wore this the other night going over to a friends house and we only stayed maybe from like 5-845. It lasted that whole time but when i got home around 9 it was basically a skin scent. Maybe if you spray your clothes it'll last longer but i didn't even bother. It's a good dumb reach scent for going out and not caring if you leave a 6 foot trail behind you. It's not meant for that. That is what the other Intense version does and the Blue. This is good for what it is. I say if you can find a 30, 50 or 100ml for anything under $35.. just snatch it up.

This fragrance is a very frustrating for the following reasons. It ticks almost every box, ALMOST. The bottle itself is beautiful, elegant. Fits perfectly in the hand. The lid has a leather type look to it, very classy. Feels like high end fragrance. The atomizer is probably the best atomizer I have ever seen. A beautiful generous spray flows out of it. The scent itself is gorgeous, masculine and luxurious. One of my favorites, it would be my signature scent if it wasn't for the last remaining box to be ticked, the performance. Performance is non existent. It vanishes within an hour, and its a skin fragrance for most of that hour. Very very frustrating, this could have been box office stuff, I can never understand why these designers put such a below par performing product out there. Have a little pride in your work. Make it stand out from the crowd.

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. This smells SO good, I've gotten a ton of compliments from it too. I paid close to retail for it and I still don't regret it. I will concede that you have to spray HEAVY to get it to stick & project but the final result is phenomenal. Now that this is in the $40 range I'll buy it to replace my bottle. I tried to go the Coach route but I don't like it. Ironically I got the HUGE bottle of Coach for dirt cheap but something in the DNA gives me an instant headache. I'm not a headache guy either. For $35ish you can't go wrong on this. Maybe it just works well on my bodys chemistry, there's a lot of crowd favorites I hate but I genuinely LOVE this cologne.

Rating : 10 / 10 Price : Affordable This is a hidden gem!! This is such an office friendly scent, inoffensive, subtle sweet, adequately citrusy, and aromatic. Im talkin abt formal versatility here Yes, it has weaker character. Maybe generic. But which means it has amazing balance between scents Strong characteristic repels allround versatilty and can be polarizing Weak characteristic does NOT! That's the point If someone has no interest in digging fragrance journey, but just need a formal "okay" fragrance, THIS IS IT!! The melon note right after it's drydown reminds me of B.D.C parfum.. Easier version of bleu de chanel. Period. Go for it guys

Wore this everyday until the bottle ran out and felt very clean and masculine, young and casual, not too sweet but didn’t project and didn’t last long, out of the shower vibes. Really liked the scent but I started looking into other styles, I would recommend to buy it if you get a good deal on it, just to have a nice all around smell, great for gifts, the bottle its really nice, I wish I can try the intense version at a later time. I was very satisfied with this purchase while I had it, but I wanted something that had a better performance.

I am a fan of Chanel Bleu and here in Brazil I can only buy it in Chanel store, with a price of U $ 100 for a 3.4oz bottle, my bottle finished last week, and I went to Sephora and tried this Jimmy Choo man, the first hour have 90% of simillarity with Bleu, and it last for more 5 hours with 60% of Bleu, so I decided to buy a 6.7oz Bottle for U $ 50,00 and apply it for each 4 hours, that was an exceptional choice. Fragance : 9.5/10 (fruity with pepper open and leathery dry down) Sillage: 6/10 Longevity: 6/10 Price: 10/10 Overall: 8/10

Such a wonderful scent. Especially taking into consideratiin the price and the fact that it is just a designer scent. I am in love with the drydown. So beautiful. It starts off kinda fresh and citrusy but after an hour or two it become more spicy and leathery. It smells awsome on my skin. I will definitely start using my bottle which I by the way got as a gift from my cousine. Otherwise I would have never even tried it. Scent: 8.5/10 (that is very good for a designer perfume) Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 7/10 Price: Excellent!!!

Jimmy Cho Man is a fragrance that is perfect if you're looking for something not too expensive and that smells pretty great. The fragrance overall has a very sweet scent that is combined with some woody and fresh scents sprinkled in with a little spice. A great starter fragrance and probably one of the most popular in the Jimmy Cho collection. However, the only downside is that it doesn't last very long and the sweet makes it something not that wearable daily. Other than that its an alright cologne.

Smells so good and masculine. Love the curved rectangular bottle. Very comfortable in hand. The metal accents are fingerprint resistant and you can see yourself HD in the reflection. The gator printed leather like cap is grippy and snaps on well. A bit tough to get off initially. It actually popped off and hit me in the eye the first time I went to open it lol. The atomizer works very well. The opening is sweet and fruity, then it gets more musky and manly as it dries down. One of my top scents.

I got this by suggestion from a friend, and it smells PHENOMENAL. For about an hour. I've learned to take the bottle with me. Seriously, ten sprays, and it's gone quickly. It's not possible to overdo this stuff. I will write this: why any of you on here will go spend department store prices on this stuff when you can buy a tester on eBay for a fraction of the cost is beyond me. I got a 3.4 oz. for $30, while Sephora and Macy's is selling for $85. Buy online, and Christmas can be all year long!

Smells really frickin good but it doesn’t really project beyond a foot, no matter how many sprays you put on. Perfect if you don’t want to smell super crazy or noticeable but still want a pleasant skin scent, and it is very versatile. I think that this fragrance can suit literally occasion, time of day, or season. The scent is unique and mature, without being either too youthful or giving any trace of an old man cologne at all. Recommend for men and teens of all ages.

Smells amazing, but just doesn't last very long. You can get around that by reapplying if you can, so it could be one you keep in your desk drawer or bag to spray again midday. It's light, quite sweet, and very much lavender. If you like "blue" fragrances this is probably in your wheelhouse - though it is something different from the aquatics, or the Versace Eros/Bleu De Chanel vibe. Great scent - pity it doesn't last longer as it would be five stars otherwise.

I must say ..the juice in this goes pretty bad fairly quickly. I've had fragrances stay good in my storage for over 5 years...When I first bought this. My wife would just fall apart...I pulled this out for the first time in over a year....and it was an herbal hell..my wife kept telling me to go to my side of the bed.....not happy about that lol..looked up the batch code...it IS almost 4 years old...but still. I've never had a frag go bad before

Pleasent cologne. Tend to sit closer to skin with low longevity, few sprays can help push the scent out. The cologne starts with a prominent tropical pineapple and slow fades into a fruity sweet masculine scent. In the air it smells like a playful mid 20s fresh attention grabber type of scent. Evening/late night type of scent that can turn heads. Would not recommend wearing this daily, but only as evening outing. recommend smaller bottle.

I bought this for 20euros which is fantastic for the scent everything about it is good. its the defenition of a designer fragrance. The problem is longevity and projection which arent good so not many people can smell you but the intense version fixes that but the scent is slighly sweeter but its still fresh and perfect for warm weather. Extremely7 underrated scent- 9/10 projection 4.5/10 longevity-4/10

Why doesn't this one get more love? The scent is beautiful and I always get compliments from the ladies with this one. Sure, it doesn't last that long and the name "Jimmy Choo" doesn't sound cool. Well, maybe that's why it doesn't get love. Still, I love it and I'll keep rocking it. Also, this is the BEST sprayer I've ever seen on a bottle.
