As a fragrance brand, Jimmy Choo is not one to feature within my collection, until now. Having recently been sent the I Want Choo by Jimmy Choo, the newest fragrance to be added to the range, I was keen to try it.
I Want Choo, which is a clever play on words, sits within the Oriental Floral family amongst fragrances for women. Described as being an ode to the playful spirit and confident glamour that epitomises the Jimmy Choo woman, this is a fragrance that surprised me.
The outer box, which is sparkly and red, perhaps perfect for St Valentine’s Day later this month, really captures your attention. Inside, the fragrance bottle features a gold orb shaped lid, before the glass bottle, with its narrow neck lending to a wider base, something many might describe as being akin to a feminine figure is finished off with a gold stamped JC logo which again, stands out on a Misty peach background.
Details aside, the fragrance notes for this are ones I like before I smelt it. Opening with top notes of Peach and Mandarin Orange, there is a fresh yet fruity scent which hits the senses before the middle notes of Jasmine and Red Lily add to the floral side of the fragrance settling it down to something that is delightfully sweet. The base note of Vanilla, is sweet and noticeable but for me, those top notes are the dominant notes with Jasmine sitting in the background.
A delightful fragrance which is perfect for the whole day and one which has amazing longevity. On my skin, I can still sense it some 5/6 hours after application.
I Want Choo by Jimmy Choo is currently on sale with The Perfume Shop exclusively and prices start at £45 for 40ml, £65 for 60ml rising up to £85 for 100ml. If this sounds like a fragrance toy like the sound of, helpfully, The Perfume Shop will send out a sample vial of the perfume with the purchase, so you can try it within your own surroundings before making a final decision as to whether or not it is for you. If it isn’t, then you can simply return it.
