Jimmy Choo Fever is a poplar fragrance for women. It came out back in 2018 and has garnered many ardent fans ever since. However, you can get tired of smelling the same exact thing or want something cheaper, that can fit the same bill. In this post, I want to put forth 6 perfume options that can provide a similar smell to Fever by Jimmy Choo.
What Fragrances Smell Similar to Fever by Jimmy Choo?
I have yet to come across an exact match for Fever. However, there are plenty out there that have a similar style and/or an overlap in notes, to produce something that smells quite alike.
Similar Smelling Scent
Black Opıum By Yvеs Sαınt Lαurent for Women Eau De Parfum Spray 3 OZ. / 90 ml.– Again, Fever and Black Opium aren’t going to be the same note for note, but they do have a ton of overlap.
The notes they share? Coffee, vanilla, orange blossom, and jasmine. The YSL fragrance has almond instead of hazelnut.
The main differences are going to be between the top fruit notes and the warmer heart/base. Black Opium has plenty of patchouli, a nice pink pepper, and benzoin.
You’ve probably smelled this before, as it is a popular perfume. Warm, sweet, with a bit of a powdery quality and overall good performance. Read my full Black Opium Review
Discontinued, but a Close Parallel
Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss– This one is a bit harder to find nowadays, but it would be a nice alternative fragrance to our Jimmy Choo target.
Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss was a nice sweet blend, a bit fruitier than Fever, but still had that solid coffee and pink pepper warmth. Somewhat different but a close style to what we’re looking for, this had a solid amount of peony as part of the floral accord.
Best Cheapie Alternative
Sofia Vergara Love Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Fluid Ounce, multi color– If you want a cheaper Fever, it might not actually exist, but Love by Sofia Vergara can step into a similar role.
It’s actually quite a bit like Black Opium, but not exactly that either. Sort of in between the YSL and Jimmy Choo. The opening act features a sweeter and fruitier profile, with passionfruit and apple notes peaking through.
Orange blossom, floral notes, and coffee with a dose of vanilla are the similarities. Performance isn’t amazing and it is definitely the sweetest of the bunch, but it’s an option.
Caramel Sweetness
Bon Bon by Viktor & Rolf Eau De Parfum Spray 3.04 oz– Bonbon by Viktor & Rolf is an interesting alternative, because you do get some overlap, but it is a distinct experience.
Bonbon features a prominent caramel note, with a nice squeeze of citrus, and warm amber permeating. It’s not the same with the coffee and vanilla. This one is warm and slightly salty with a creaminess at the base. The start is juicy with orange and peach.
Structurally and style wise, this is a close relative to Jimmy Choo Fever, just not the same.
Another Inexpensive Choice
Britney Spears Prerogative by Britney Spears Eau De Parfum Spray (Tester) 3.4 oz (Women)– This is another inexpensive option and I will say that it lands closer to being like Black Opium.
Though, it is warm and sweet with the coffee and floral notes. Though, it is a spicier take with a more pronounced woody base.
The opening act is fruitier than Black Opium and strikes closer to Fever than that other scent. However, this one doesn’t have the creamy vanilla or powdery aroma that you’ll find in the Jimmy Choo. The dry down is all about the woods and spice.
Not an amazing fragrance, but can be solid, at this price point.
One from Dior
Dior Poison Girl Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.6 Fl. Oz- A similar structure and style, not a one for one match. Poison Girl kicks things off with a Damascus rose, bitter orange, tonka bean, and vanilla.
Then, the almond note comes in to give this fragrance a nice nuttiness, instead of the hazelnut and coffee in Fever. As it moves along, Poison Girl becomes a drier and smoother type of wear, and a very good experience.
Performance here is great, lasting 8-11 hours, on my skin. Those who enjoy Fever, might consider giving this one a go. Poison Girl Review.

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
