Jimmy Choo is the London shoe house’s first fragrance, launched in 2011 and composed by Olivier Polge for Inter Parfums. The house makes it a modern fruity chypre that opens on green notes, pear and citrus, rounds out on a tiger orchid and settles on a sweet toffee caramel and Indonesian patchouli, in a faceted bottle inspired by Murano glass.
The house opens the fragrance on luminous green notes, a pear nectar and a citrus: sweet Italian orange in the European texts, mandarin in the American ones. The heart rests on a tiger orchid, rich and exotic, which gives the fragrance a creamy seductiveness.
The tiger orchid
The tiger orchid occupies the heart of the composition. Jimmy Choo makes it the centerpiece of the fragrance, a flower the house calls rich, creamy and exotic, between the fruit of the opening and the softness of the base.
Caramel and patchouli
In the base, a sweet toffee caramel melts into Indonesian patchouli. The house sees in it a sensual accord that leaves a subtle memory, and places the whole among fruity chypres with woody depths.
What the label declares
After alcohol, fragrance and water, the label declares the allergens benzyl salicylate, linalool, limonene and benzyl alcohol, three UV filters and a violet colorant.
