JIMMY CHOO
The Story
The original Jimmy Choo fragrance arrived in 2011 as the definitive olfactory expression of the brand's glamorous DNA. Olivier Polge—one of the most celebrated noses in modern perfumery—created a fruity chypre that balances accessible femininity with unexpected depth. The pear and toffee interplay gives it an addictive sweetness, while orchid and patchouli anchor it with sophisticated warmth. It is the scent of red carpet confidence distilled into a bottle.
