Identity and Release History

Introducing Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower, a delightful fragrance that debuted in 2016.

This perfume is part of the Illicit collection from the legendary brand Jimmy Choo, a synonym for luxury and glamour in the world of high fashion.

Illicit Flower embodies the spirit of the modern woman, brave and confident in her attractiveness, and its release expanded the brand's fragrance universe, offering a new way to express elegance.

Since its appearance, the fragrance has quickly gained popularity due to its balanced sound, perfectly fitting into the Jimmy Choo line, known for its feminine and seductive notes.

The Illicit collection, to which it belongs, is often associated with intimate and romantic chords, highlighting the brand's DNA in perfumery.

Positioning and Wearability

Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower is positioned as a women's fragrance in the form of eau de toilette, which provides a light and refreshing sound, ideal for warm days.

Its barely perceptible trail makes it intimate and unobtrusive, suitable for the office, dates, or casual meetings, and the absence of data on dosage on skin and clothing allows for experimenting with application for a personalized effect.

Belonging to the floral and woody families, the fragrance offers versatility: from fresh fruitiness at the start to a warm and cozy base, making it universal for the spring-summer season.

It combines excellently with various looks, adding a touch of lightness and romance, and is often described as complimentary for daily use.

Creators and Influence

The creation of Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower was worked on by talented perfumers Alienor Massenet and Nicolas Beaulieu, whose joint effort brought a balance between playful freshness and sensual depth to the fragrance.

Their work strengthened Jimmy Choo's reputation as a creator of accessible luxury in perfumery, attracting a new audience that values quality and style, and influenced the brand's subsequent releases, highlighting its expertise in the world of fragrances.

If you liked Illicit Flower, you might be interested in similar fragrances: Giorgio Armani Sky di Gioia, Gucci Envy Me, and Benetton United Dreams Love Yourself, each of which offers a unique perspective on the floral-fruity theme.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower begins with a playful duo of apricot and mandarin, which provide instant freshness and fruity sweetness, creating a refreshing start.

At the heart of the fragrance, a rich bouquet of flowers unfolds: freesia and grapefruit blossom add transparency and a citrusy nuance, while jasmine and rose bring classic femininity and depth, and pear softens the composition with gentle sweetness.

The base of the fragrance is built on warm and sensual notes: benzoin and cashmeran create a velvety texture, sandalwood adds woody stability, and vanilla and musk complete everything with a cozy and long-lasting trail, leaving behind a delicate and memorable impression.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)
3
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

What an amazing and delightful fragrance! On my skin, it unfolds with fruits, not flowers. I can smell sweet pear and apricot jam, complemented by rose petals and mandarin peels. It doesn't resemble the first Illicit at all. I really liked it - so playful, charming, and with an amazing sillage!
5/5

The fragrance is truly delightful. The flowers and musk in it combine perfectly. I can smell rose, freesia, and a bit of mandarin. Cashmeran adds interest, preventing the scent from being ordinary, making it softer and warmer. There's a certain haze in it. Maybe it's apricot, but not fresh, more like dried apricots
5/5
5
Flowers with fruits, but I can't really pinpoint anything specific. It's not bad, of course, but too light and without any zest. No synthetic smell, that's a plus. Good longevity, and there's a sillage too, but overall it's not impressive 😒
5/5

The fragrance is really fresh, the flowers are bright, and the citrus note adds an interesting bitterness. The base here is lighter compared to the usual version where vanilla dominates, and here musk clearly comes to the forefront. Although, perhaps this is just my perception. 🌸

This fragrance became a real discovery for me. Honestly, I wasn't going to try it, but something inside told me it was worth it. Mini versions just appeared at Letu, and I couldn't resist. And, as I expected, it's really impressive. Without a doubt, it's good

PERFECT! This scent captivated me from the very first breath. It gives confidence and charm, creating a feeling of elegance. On the skin, it unfolds softly, like a light cloud. No obtrusiveness or suffocating sweetness - just a delicate, gentle veil that envelops and delights. I feel absolutely magnificent

This version really reminds me of spring, it's so light, airy, and sparkling. The fragrance is simply excellent, you can feel the carefree joy
4/5

This is a more floral version, where the sweet honeyed scent of acacia is still noticeable (maybe I'm catching pear here), but now other floral notes with a light musk have been added. However, the longevity of the fragrance, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired
5/5

This version of the fragrance is simply wonderful! The sweetness here is completely different - it's floral, with a light citrus accent. The scent has become much lighter and brighter, but its longevity remains excellent. I really liked it
4/5

Men react to it simply amazingly. This shows that our strong sex prefers fragrances that are easily perceived and pleasing. Even if there are only three notes in the composition, the main thing is that it's pleasant, and this perfume is exactly that 😍

Jimmy Choo fragrances don't impress me at all. They're essentially ordinary luxury, sometimes even at a mid-segment level. They have a lot of fruits and flowers, but nothing stands out, you just spray and move on 😕
4/5

This perfume has a strange effect on women. Even if you're in a bathrobe with your hair in a bun, you feel 200% attractive. It's sweet and bright, yet so close to the skin that it creates an intimate feeling. This is definitely a scent for those who love themselves )
4/5

This scent is just a nightmare! Fruits, flowers, citruses - all of it stinks so much it makes my head spin. And that vanilla with sandalwood? It's simply unbearable! 😤
5/5

On a frosty clear day, this fragrance is simply magnificent! It fills you with energy, as if glowing from within, creating a feeling of something cosmic and unusual. You feel like a tiny star in endless space! A true New Year's spirit! ✨
5/5

This fragrance is just awful! Light and delicate? No way! I smell some rotten pear and apricot, and the rose and jasmine just overwhelm my senses. Longevity? I don't know about others, but on me, it disappears after a couple of hours. Sillage? It stinks rather than delights! I don't understand how anyone can praise this!!!
