Jimmy Choo

Jimmy Choo, a 2011 fragrance from the brand composed by Olivier Polge, is a fruity, sweet floral with a toffee-patchouli base. Gourmand character leads, and about half of people also find it woody, floral and citrus.

Mandarin orange, pear and green notes open it with a juicy, crisp freshness, the pear soft and the green notes slightly sharp. Orchid takes the heart, giving a smooth, creamy floral warmth. The base pairs toffee with patchouli, so a caramel-like sweetness meets an earthy, woody depth, the combination that gives the scent its recognisable character.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a fair number finding it long lasting, and a moderate trail. It is voted for autumn and winter and worn by day and night in nearly equal measure. That suits office wear, dinners and evenings out in the cooler months, for anyone who enjoys a polished fruity scent with a sweet, earthy edge.
