Jimmy Choo I Want Choo

 I Want Choo is the intoxicating new scent from fragrance powerhouse Jimmy Choo.

Jimmy Choo do fragrances really, REALLY well. In fact, I’ve yet to ever meet a Jimmy Choo scent that I didn’t love.

 

I want Choo is absolutely no different.

Categorised as an Oriental fragrance, it is both playful and sparkily and seductive and sensual.

In a move away from the orb inspired bottles of previous scents, I Want Choo exudes glamour and femininity with its elegant, curvaceous glass bottle.

 

Created as an object of desire, the soft curves of the transparent glass vessel reveal the elegant peach tint of the nectar captured inside.

The front of the bottle features the initials JC entwined together in gold, while the cap is a circular gold globe sat atop a hammered, jewel effect neck piece,

Elegant, voluptuous and enticing, I was so excited to try this new scent.

I Want Choo explodes with pure joy with top notes of velvety peach and sparkling mandarin juice.

Light, sweet and juicy, it is an exciting opening sequence which feels light, bright and radiant.

Heart notes of creamy, sumptuous Red Spider Lily combine with alluring Jamine Sambac to create an entirely more sensual fragrant experience.

 

Finally, base notes of addictive, sweet, soft vanilla and Benzoin sweep forward, enveloping the scent in a rich, captivating veil of seduction.

It is one of those scents which is perfect for both day wear thanks to its lighter facets yet is also perfect for evening wear thanks to its seductive undertones.

 

Classic, beautiful and pure elegance, I’ve fallen head over heels for I Want Choo and I’m pretty sure that you’re gonna love it too.

Jimmy Choo I Want Choo is out now and costs £45 for 40ml.

Jimmy Choo Blossom

Blossom is the radiant, sparkling and joyful scent from Jimmy Choo.

While Spring may feel a long way off right now, believe it or not it is actually just around the corner and this luminous scent celebrates the emergence of sunnier, lighter days with an explosion of sumptuous, sweet and delicate floral scents.

Housed within a bottle which mirrors the brands iconic Flash scent, Blossom has been re-imagined to reflect the glorious and bright nectar within.

The multi-faceted, iridescent bottle glows in the light and features an alluring gradient of rosy, coral colour complete with a diamond inspired clear cap.

Vibrant and pretty, it hints at the luminous scent that has been captured inside.

Categorised as a floral scent, I’d actually say that it is as much fruity and fresh as floral.

Light, whimsical, juicy and beautiful, Blossom is by far my favourite Jimmy Choo fragrance to date.

Blossom radiates light-hearted joy and opens with notes of sparkling, bright and juicy berries, citrus and cocktails before a delicate heart of sweet pea and soft rose soften the scent somewhat, introducing a light floral experience.

Sensual, soft and smooth base notes of white musk and sandalwood create a richness and depth which when combined with the fruity, floral elements leaves a scent which somehow captures the very essence of spring.

Elegant and light yet with an addictive, creamy warmth, Jimmy Choo Blossom is simply the most beautiful scent for the lighter, brighter spring-time months ahead.

It is neither too floral, too fruity or too musky, rather it is the most addictive and delightful blend of all three elements. 

I can’t get enough of this gorgeous fragrance and have worn it daily since I got it!

Even on a cold, dark day, spritzing this fragrance brings a radiant, gleaming luminosity to my day which brightens my soul!

Jimmy Choo Blossom is available now and is currently on offer for £32.99 (RRP £37) for 40ml from Fragrance Direct.

Jimmy Choo Illicit

Illicit is the beautiful, new and dare I say my favourite fragrance from Jimmy Choo.

This sophisticated and seductive scent was created by the perfumeur Anne Flipo;

 “I imagined a remarkable yet audacious fragrance, with a tempting signature. That's why I decided to lay down a fizzy start and floral heart on a unique honey-amber structure. Built around sensuality and addiction, it offers radiance and timeless elegance."

Now, while I don’t understand the way in which a fragrance is created its fair to say that Anne’s got it spot on.

Illicit is a soft, sensual and mellow scent with an elegant, modern blend of floral and sweet notes.

Top notes of ginger and bitter orange are warmingly sweet without being overly zesty while heart notes of Rose and Sambac Jasmine offer a soft and feminine element.

Bottom notes of Honey-amber accord and Sandalwood round off the scent with a soft, musky aroma which altogether create a really addictive, grown-up yet playful fragrance.

The bottle reflects the fragrance perfectly with its strong, multi faceted rivets which initially reminded me of skyscrapers on a city’s skyline.

I love its unmistakable art deco style and striking square silver lid which provides a really chic contrast.

Oh and did I mention that this bottle is REALLY heavy! So yep, it both looks and feel luxurious and when it catches the light, the gold fragrance within glows through the bottle.

I’ve always been a fan of Jimmy Choo fragrances but Illicit is by far my favourite to date both in terms of the scent and the way it’s presented so beautifully.

Jimmy Choo Illicit is available nationwide now and 60ml retails at £54.

Jimmy Choo FLASH

FLASH is the highly anticipated second fragrance for Jimmy Choo, but if you were expecting a similar fragrance to their original, you will be disappointed.

FLASH is a floral fragrance based around a bouquet of white flowers, with notes of Pink Pepper, Jasmine, White Lily and Strawberry.

Encased in a shimmering, crystal faceted bottle, it has been designed to be reminiscent of a paparazzi flash bulb, hinting at the kind of woman that may love this fragrance.

FLASH is for the glamorous, urban woman say the team at Jimmy Choo.

 I’m not sure I’m that woman, but I do love the look of the bottle on my dressing table!

Now, while I love the packaging, I’m not a huge fan of the fragrance. I personally found it quite harsh, although it did mellow over time.

The fragrance lasted really well and I could still smell it way into the afternoon.

Jimmy Choo FLASH is available exclusively at Debenhams now before going on sale nationwide from the 28^th January 2013.

FLASH 40ml retails at £36.
