9 Best Smelling Jimmy Choo Perfumes

by

Jimmy Choo has been a huge name in ladies’ footwear for the past few decades. However, in the last decade the brand has expanded itself into fragrances as well, among other things. Nowadays, they have released many perfumes under the banner, and with so many options its time for me to present a list of the best to review.

So, below are a list of the nine top smelling fragrances by Jimmy Choo, thus far. I will update this as needed and more worthwhile additions come to market.

Favorite  Jimmy Choo Fragrances for Women

Top Overall Choo Perfume

JIMMY CHOO Illicit Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.0 Fl Oz– Illict starts off with a blend of honey, orange, and a touch of ginger for a light spice. It is sweet, warm, and citrusy. That is only ramped up with the inclusion of vanilla and amber.

As it dries down, Illict becomes more floral and smooth (jasmine and sandalwood). The sweet start is fairly strong but this Jimmy Choo settles down and becomes a subtle scent for the winter.

Illict does have some limitations to colder to moderate climates, but the scent itself is really quite great. I just would go with something else, if you happen to live in a more tropical region of the planet.

I Want Choo

JIMMY CHOO I Want Choo Eau de Parfum Spray 2.0 ounces, 2 fl. oz.– This came out in 2020, but I recently had a chance to smell it and it certainly is a crowd pleaser. I Want Choo EDP opens up with a juicy citrus and peach mix, with some of its vanilla wafting up from the base.

The opening is a nice fruity sweetness, with the peach being the strongest notable scent from that accord. It’s more or a less a general citrus (orange) aroma beyond that. 

Then, the red lily and mostly jasmine will provide a floral heart. The jasmine actually seems heavier, but Jimmy Choo’s site says the fragrance was built around the lily. Nonetheless, it comes across as sweet and creamy with lighter floral notes.

As a blind buy, this one is simple and inoffensive. I Want Choo shares commonalities with other popular perfumes of the day, but so what? It works well and can be a joy to wear. A pretty, gourmand, white floral perfume.

Plum, Vanilla, Floral

JIMMY CHOO FEVER 1.3oz Eau de Parfum Spray– I’m adding Fever to this list, as it’s one that I’ve come to enjoy more and more recently. It is a sweet (but not overly sugary) gourmand floral fragrance. Fever opens up with plum, lychee, and grapefruit.

The tart plum is the strongest of the bunch for me. Fever has a very rich depth and seemingly a lot of different facets, that I pick up during different trials.

Sometimes, the heliotrope feels stronger and Fever takes on a more powdery aroma. Other times, it’s a lot of vanilla and benzoin.

It’s a dark push and pull between jasmine and the heliotrope in the middle act. Finally, the tonka bean and vanilla take over, with the fruity top still lingering.

This has become a top seller over the past few years, has solid performance, and is enjoyable to wear. If you don’t like the sweet scents, it can be too much for some, so maybe skip it.

Most Popular Jimmy Choo Scent

JIMMY CHOO Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.0 fl. oz.– A sweet patchouli fragrance led by pear and then is joined by orchid and toffee. As it dries down, it gets less fruity and the patchouli fully develops into a spicier version of itself.

The patchouli is the main attraction throughout, but up top the pear first takes on the dominant role, with a little touch of orange. From there, the toffee note will gain in strength and become second behind the patchouli.

It actually is a clean and inviting fragrance that offers versatility and nice performance with this EDP edition. Just an absolute joy to wear and be around. Great mass appeal.

It is warm, sweet, with a nice spicy and orchid floral touch in the latter stages. Jimmy Choo EDP has wonderful staying power and a fairly strong sillage.  My Full Review of Jimmy Choo EDP

Want Parfum

I Want Choo Le Parfum– Between this and Forever, I think that this is the better I Want Choo flanker. Forever is pretty dense and powdery in comparison.

I Want Choo Le Parfum is also sweet and fruity up top, like the original. This time, though, we are greeted with a pear note and blackberry.

Gardenia adds to the sweet perception, along with praline in the base. But, it’s not a sweet or juvenile smelling mess of a scent. Nope, we get a fun initial opening act with a spicier and floral finish.

Gardenia, patchouli, moss, jasmine, and the praline really shine. Fruity then fruit-chouli perfume with a dark berry and pear opening and a nice bit of depth to it.

Unique Springtime Fruity Floral Option

Jimmy Choo Flash Perfume For Women 3.4 oz Eau De Parfum Spray– A floral bouquet is joined by that familiar warm spiciness of pink pepper and a juicy strawberry note.

Lily, tuberose, and jasmine are the floral ingredients which form the heart of Flash. Sweet, floral, and a bit of a musky undertone.

Flash has a really nice strawberry note, if you happen to be a fan of that as an ingredient. However, the pink pepper is the standout, and sits perfectly within the composition when the floral notes emerge later on in the dry down.

The perfume doesn’t have any parallels, that I can think of which smell similar to it. Maybe not for everyone, but still ranks as one of the top Jimmy Choo fragrances.

Awesome Fragrance for Winter Wear

Jimmy Choo Stars Perfume for Women 2.0 fl oz Eau de Parfum– Stars has a lot in common with the original Jimmy Choo EDP, mentioned above. However, this adds candied orange to toffee and patchouli. It’s sweet and delicious with less of the patchouli note.

It’s super warm, enveloping, and a great wear for the colder months of the year. Stars also has a bit of orchid and sandalwood sitting underneath it all and adding to the beauty.

It can be a bit hard to find at times (was a limited edition), but if you like the original EDP, this can give you a similar experience with an additional boost of that great sweet orange. They don’t make this one anymore and I haven’t really seen any bottles of late.

 

Great Summer Perfume

JIMMY CHOO Blossom Eau De Parfum, Floral Fruity, 2 fl. oz.– The name would suggest that Blossom is more of a floral scent, but it leans much more towards fruity. Berries, citrus, and raspberry lead the way with rose added for that floral aroma.

So, essentially berries with floral notes supporting throughout.

Note: If you can’t find a bottle of this, Dua has their take on this formula: In Full Bloom.

A pretty straightforward fragrance but with good performance, sillage, and a nice option for summertime. The mix of berries and citrus is very upbeat and will brighten up any day.

Can be sugary at some points during the wear, but it eventually evens out and the raspberry takes a solid hold on the composition.

Awesome Vanilla Perfume

Vanilla Love– Vanilla Love is going to be a great one for those who love a good vanilla fragrance. However, that’s not all there is to it. It kicks off with the spicy punch of black pepper and a nice bit of smokiness coming through, as well.

Then, the vanilla sits on top of a sea of amber and there’s a patchouli note, giving Vanilla Love a further gourmand type of aroma. Finally, there is the total creaminess of vanilla and I’m pretty sure tonka bean is floating around here also. 

Seductive and lively, this Jimmy Choo perfume, isn’t a complete bomb…but the performance isn’t terrible either. Has a pretty thick and creamy wear, though. It just doesn’t have the massive projection and will envelope the wearer instead.

Coco Mademoiselle vs Chanel Chance EDP Comparison

by

Chanel perfumes routinely dominate the best seller lists, year after year, in the women’s space. Not only the main or classic formulations, but also, flankers using their predecessor’s names. Two of the most popular options for ladies are Chanel Chance EDP and Coco Mademoiselle. In this post, I want to compare them, and declare a winner as to which is best. Which smells better? Which has the greater performance metrics?

Tale of the Tape: Coco Mademoiselle vs. Chance

Coco Mademoiselle

Notes include: jasmine, rose, orange, patchouli, vetiver

Read my review: Mademoiselle

Chanel Chance

Notes include: vanilla, jasmine, iris, patchouli, pink pepper, and musk

Click here to try: Chanel Chance EDP

Opening

Chance has both an EDT and EDP version, along with many flankers that are quite popular. I am going to be talking about Chance EDP, in this post, as I am comparing it to the EDP version of Mademoiselle. So, keep in mind that it applies to these releases specifically.

Chance EDP has much less of the patchouli note, than the EDT version. This one is a floral scent with clean vanilla highlights. It is led by both jasmine and iris, as its main floral notes.

You get a mix of sweetness, with musk, and enough earthy spice to keep things interesting. There does seem to be some light fruit notes, but it isn’t as much. The patchouli, will play a bigger role later on, but it is kept in check up top.

Meanwhile, Coco Mademoiselle begins more as a fruity floral fragrance. More specifically, it is a blend of citrus, neroli, jasmine, rose and ylang ylang peaking through. The musk is not as heavy, as in Chance, but it also has about the same level of patchouli.

Which is better? It’s a close call. However, I think that Mademoiselle has the more appealing start. I really like the citrus start, that transitions into an array of floral notes. These two do share similarities, but Coco Mademoiselle gets a slight not, in my opinion.

Edge: Mademoiselle

Projection

Neither of these perfumes are going to disappoint with a weak sillage. The EDP versions, are both strong. Which is stronger? I’d say that Mademoiselle packs a stronger punch, than does Chance.

I don’t find either to be all that extreme, but they can project themselves, very well. Mademoiselle, is just a notch above.

Surprisingly, Coco Mademoiselle still has great sillage and overall performance, after all these years. Chanel hasn’t seemed to skip out on the quality with this best seller.

Edge: Mademoiselle

Longevity

Chance EDP will go a full workday, and perhaps, a few hours longer. Expect an 8-10 hour performance. Which is enough for most purposes. But, it still falls short of what Mademoiselle delivers.

Coco Mademoiselle will last for over 10 hours, most of the time. It’s got a really great longevity and doesn’t want to seem to quit. I’ve tested it out to over 12 hours before. It has a pretty wide range, once you get above double digit hours.

Again, Chance is no slouch, but it’s competitor is a bit better.

Edge: Mademoiselle

Versatility

In this category, I don’t really see a winner. Both perfumes perform well year round and in a wide variety of situations. These Chanel fragrances are truly all around gems and can be the anchor of just about anyone’s collection.

Edge: Push

Overall Scent

This head to head match up, really is a difficult choice, since both are really great scents. I’d say that you probably can’t go wrong with either. However, which one is truly better, even if by a little bit?

Chanel Chance EDP is fresh, floral, with a great pink pepper spice. It’s not overbearing, but performs well. I really like the jasmine and how the pepper hangs around the edges, of the musk/patchouli heart. Really nice, overall.

Coco Mademoiselle, I prefer it to Chance. You get better performance, but I also think that it smells somewhat better, as well. The beautiful and classy citrus opening, sells it right away. Beyond that, the floral notes, with musk, and sweet creamy vanilla are so good during the dry down.

I think that Coco Mademoiselle just does a bit more, in its entirety versus Chance. Frankly, I think Chance is a great perfume…just not to the same extent.

It isn’t a blowout, by any means. However, I’m giving the win to Coco Mademoiselle EDP.

Winner: Mademoiselle

Polo Red Rush by Ralph Lauren

by

In today’s review, I have tried out a new release from Ralph Lauren, from the Polo Red lineup: Polo Red Rush. This flanker to the original was put out in 2018 and the question is, does it bring something new to the table? What does it smell like? How does it perform? Is this new Red, even worth a try?

What does Polo Red Rush Smell Like?

Notes include: mandarin, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon, saffron, orange flower, spearmint, red apple, lavender, red coffee, cedar, musk

Click here to try: Polo Red Rush by Ralph Lauren EDT Spray 4.2 Oz.

My Full Wear Review

The opening of Polo Red Rush feels pretty similar to the original Polo Red, which opens up with a strong cranberry note. This one, takes a different route, and produces a strong fruity smell with grapefruit, pineapple, apple, and mandarin.

The pineapple and lemon note give it that same sort of sharp quality that you would get from the original Red. Though, this time it is without the cranberry really bringing the tartness.

To my nose, only the top is very similar to the original, and Rush begins to take on its own character about 10 minutes into the wear.

I get a second layer of crisp and cold spearmint running through its heart, and a musk note which sets it quite apart from the other Red colognes. At this point, I get a lot of apple, musk, spearmint, and some saffron for good measure.

Red Rush is quite ‘green’, crisp, fruity, and has some aquatic elements lurking in the background. It’s base is a woodiness led by cedar and a very light coffee note, that is different from the one found in Polo Red Extreme.

It really isn’t that prominent at all. Though, the overall composition is upbeat and energetic, in its own way.

The dry down is more musky and floral than the rest of the wear. Orange flower and lavender come through for me, but saffron still heads up that aspect.

Beyond that, Red Rush is still mostly about the apple, musk, mint, and the citrus which seems to come back more as it reaches its final phases.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, it’s light to moderate. It never felt very ‘loud’ or bold on my skin. Much to the same level, as the original Polo Red, maybe a little softer. It’s one that will probably require a few extra sprays.

Longevity, isn’t great. 5 hours on average, you might get six out of Red Rush. Serviceable but not really where it should be. Trying it out a few times, this seemed to be the natural limit for this scent.

It’s similar in performance to what you might get with the original Red. Red Intense and Extreme bring a longer lasting wear than Rush.

I like this as a cologne for the spring or summer months, though, it is safe to wear year round. Really, it is a year round wear, that’s just at its best when the warmer weather is here.

It probably has it’s strong point within its versatility. It can be worn casually, is safe enough for work, and is pleasant enough to wear out at night. Red Rush isn’t a cologne that is going to offend anyone, it’s pleasing, and easy to wear.

Though, probably won’t give you the same power in projecting, as you might want. It is fresh and clean, but not really sexy. As a low key and unobtrusive fragrance, it does a fairly good job, but isn’t something that stands out.

Overall Impressions of Red Rush

Overall, do I like Polo Red Rush? Meh. This Ralph Lauren fragrance feels unnecessary, in my opinion. It does take the Red line in a slightly new direction, but it’s not unique enough, nor does it perform well enough to be a great addition.

It certainly has its moments and is an overall enjoyable experience, it’s just not amazing in the slightest. Maybe consider picking it up, once it hits the secondary market, and comes down in price. Good, has some solid aspects, but not particularly memorable.

I like the apple and mint notes, along with the saffron. At no point, do I find it particularly bad, and that second layer with the mint is actually quite nice. I’m just not all that impressed by Rush as a whole.

For me, this is the worst of the Polo Red options. It’s not terrible, just kind of pointless. The performance is only okay, so, even if you enjoy the aroma…it still might not be worth it.

Polo Deep Blue vs. Blue EDT Comparison

by

The Polo line from Ralph Lauren, has released many different types of Polo Blue, over the years. For 2020, it put out Deep Blue, which is supposed to have a more oceanic quality to it. But, how does this new release compare to the original EDT? Which lasts longer? Smells better? Which cologne is the one to buy?

Polo Blue vs Deep Blue Cologne Comparison

Polo Blue

Notes include: amber, melon, patchouli, geranium, cucumber, tangerine, moss, musk

Read my original review: Polo Blue Review

Polo Deep Blue

Notes include: Hawaiian Green Mango, fir, sage, Deep Ocean Accord, Cypress Oil, ambroxan, grapefruit

Read my review: Polo Deep Blue

Opening

Polo Blue opens with melon and cucumber notes, giving it a cool, familiar, and crisp aroma. There is a prevalent and consistent aquatic note, at the heart of the fragrance, with tangerine and amber adding a bit more to the composition.

Not too complicated, but nice with a great freshness.

Deep Blue is similar to Blue, but closer to the EDP version, yet does have a distinct opening act. With this Polo fragrance, you get an opening of a delicious mango note, quite a bit like Polo Black.

This gets paired with some citrus and what is called, “Deep Ocean Accord”.

That Deep Ocean smell is a somewhat salty aquatic note with ambroxan highlights. Deep Blue has more of an aquatic profile, than does the original Blue EDT. EDT keeps it crisp and watery, due to melon and cucumber, but it isn’t oceanic.

Which is better? The original Blue has a cool crispness, that smells good, but I think I prefer Deep Blue. I really like the mango note and the more marine scent coming from the new release.

Edge: Deep Blue

Projection

Neither of these fragrances is a powerhouse. I would say that Deep Blue starts off stronger, and in general, has the better sillage. It is a parfum, so the fragrance formula is more concentrated.

Polo Blue EDT isn’t bad, it’s got pretty moderate sillage throughout the wear. Not a weak cologne and will be plenty noticeable. But, it doesn’t hit the same level as Deep Blue. Deep Blue is pretty much on par with Blue EDP, in terms of its strength. Not huge, but very good.

Edge: Deep Blue

Longevity

For me, both of these scents fall in the 7-9 hour range. Solid, but by no means, elite.  There’s not much of a difference, if any, maybe a bit more favorable for Deep Blue but I’m not sure.

I definitely don’t ever break double digit hours with either of these. Most Polo fragrances are like that, not elite, but good.

I haven’t tried recent bottles of EDT, so, I’m not sure if it’s lost a step over the years. As of now, I’m rating this category a tie.

Edge: Push

Versatility

Since these two colognes are so closely related, the do share the same space, in terms of their use. Either can easily be worn year round, but are honestly better in the warmer weather.

Each are more casual daily wears, rather than, anything formal. Clean aquatic fresh scents. Though, you can wear them to the office, without much issue. School, as well, if you’re a younger man.

Edge: Push

Overall Scent

Again, these two are variants of the same basic formula. As such, the differences aren’t going to be overwhelming. But, I will give an opinion as to which one, I’d pick.

While I like the cucumber and citrus elements in the original Polo Blue, I prefer the mango and Deep Ocean accord, of Deep Blue. To me, that opening act is just better, than anything the original offers.

After that, they do become much more similar. After the first two hours or so, Deep Blue is like a mix of the EDT and EDP, with added ambroxan. So, if I had a choice, I’d pick it just for that opening with the mango and slightly better performance.

Deep Blue gets some added freshness and woodiness during the late stages. The sage and cypress, does have an overlap with the newer AdG Profondo by Armani. Yet, this one is heavier on the ambroxan.

Polo Blue EDT can usually be replaced well by Eternity Aqua by Calvin Klein. They are very similar and that can often be had for really cheap. But, then again, I’ve seen all the Polo’s on sale recently.

Winner: Deep Blue

11 Best Smelling Peony Scented Perfumes

by

Peony is a fairly popular note in many fragrances. It doesn’t always get the same attention or use as something like, rose or some of the others. However, it has a great aroma that is fresh, and just plain pretty to smell. In this post, I want to put forth eleven options for women’s fragrances, which utilize this floral note.

Eleven selections which I feel are the best smelling perfumes to make peony the main note of their composition. By no means, is this exhaustive, but there is plenty to try out for all sorts of tastes.

What are the Best Peony Fragrances?

Top Miss Dior Peony

Christian Dior Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming Eau De Toilette Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce– To me, this is best smelling fragrance of the Miss Dior line. Absolutely Blooming adds juicy red berry notes to the mix, along with the familiar rose and peony.

It is sunny, fun, delicious, and with a great mix of fruit and floral notes.

This is probably the strongest of them and one that lasted a few hours longer than the other perfumes from Dior. Obviously, it isn’t just a pure peony fragrance, and some may not want the fruit notes.

However, it is one that is immensely popular for good reason, and those berries really do add something special. Absolutely Blooming Review

Vuitton Peony Perfume with Cocoa

Attrape-Rêves– This Louis Vuitton fragrance is more of a blend, with a prominent peony note, but it is one of the top fragrances from LV.

It opens up with its litchi and bergamot fruit notes, along with some fresh ginger. I do really enjoy that extra bit of ginger kick that you get early on with Attrape-Reves. Doesn’t stay around for ever, but it is a nice touch.

Rose and peony will make their appearance, and our notes is the strongest of the two.

Attrape-Reves separates itself, with its cocoa note, that gives it a gourmand touch along with the patchouli. But, the peony will be the dominant ingredient, after sharing the spotlight with that rose.

Sweet floral fruit-chouli perfume, with an overall fresh aroma. Soft, balanced, and versatile wear with a great peony. Attrape-Reves Review

Simple, Fresh, Inexpensive

Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce– Nirvana White is one of the best fragrances from the Elizabeth & James collection. Pretty simple fragrance, overall. Though, a great option for peony scents.

Peony is the leader from the get go, but early on the muguet (lily of the valley), comes around to the secondary spot. The opening is a mix between white and greenish aromas, smooth, a bit water, and a hint of sweetness.

That’s what you get at the beginning. Once it develops further, the lily of the valley fades away and this is a peony and musk scent. Very fresh and our target note is lovely here.  I got about 7 hours of wear from it and the price is usually absolutely affordable. Nirvana White Review

High-End Peony Perfume

Lust in Paradise by Ex Nihilo– Pink pepper and a nice lychee note surround the peony here. Lust in Paradise is fresh, with a warm kind of spicy kick, but not at all thick and overwhelming.

The lychee is actually stronger than the pink pepper here, so, you get more of a sweetness. The peony takes over and this one is a cleaner floral perfume with musk and woody undertones.

The name is pretty deceiving. It’s not a super ‘sexy’ sort of fragrance. Rather, it is a perfume that is somewhat sweet and powdery up top. Then, becomes a muskier/soapy floral clean in the drydown.

Nonetheless, the peony is beautiful in this composition. Price tag is high, however.

Old-School Soapy/Powdery Peony

Holy Peony by Dior– This one has similarities with the Miss Dior line, but is a more concentrated peony. Rose and lily of the valley, round things out here. Worth a try, but I’d probably still go with the cheaper, Miss Dior listed above.

This one is fresh and a bit juicy, with notes of strawberry and raspberry. It’s got a nice amount of fruitiness, to help further sweeten the perfume, but the floral notes are going to be the main focus with this Dior.

It actually starts out pretty tart/sour, in the early stages. Then it will settles sweeter and a muskier/powdery/soapy perfume full of rose and the peony. One you’ll probably want to try out, before committing to a full bottle, however.

Pure Peony Love

Peony Couture by Vilhelm– This one has a nice big dose of peony, that is simply great for those who love the flower. It is another one that is a bit more niche and expensive.

Peony Couture gives you a mix of anise and black pepper, with a Turkish Rose note surrounding the peony. For part of the wear, there are hints of spice and a touch of smokiness provided by an incense note.

The pepper note is probably the strongest non-floral aspect, but only hangs around for a short time. The peony will dominate the first half and share duties with the rose note later on. Really gorgeous example of what we’re looking for.

Rose and Peony

Chloe Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 4.2 Ounce– A nice, moderate scent by Chloe. New is a complex and feminine scent that isn’t too bold but will add a bit of warmth and class to any woman. Notes include: Magnolia, rose, lily of the valley cedar wood base, amber.

The rose is the most prominent of the floral notes, with a somewhat powdery aroma, and the addition of a very solid peony. This is sort of a reverse of others on the list, which use both of these notes.

But, I do like that it has plenty of peony, and is super versatile as a daily wear. As such, I think that it deserves a spot.

Chloe EDP has a nice woodiness in the dry down, that helps to give it a more solid base, and the performance on this one is pretty outstanding. Its sillage can be powerful and will go the full day.

Powdery Floral & Suede

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne Spray for Women, 1 Ounce–There is a great opening with the apple note which then takes the back seat for the flowery aroma to take center stage. Very soft and feminine with a nice touch of suede.

The dry down becomes quite a powdery floral affair, especially once the apple fades, and the peony takes over. The suede is a really interesting pairing with the floral notes. Super smooth, keeps the whole aroma, pretty mellow.

Like the cocoa, in Attrape-Reves, the suede is something that distinguishes the Jo Malone from just being another run of the mill floral.

Another simple one, that is pretty unique in its presentation. Performance is solid, for what it is, and Peony & Blush is still one of the best Jo Malone scents.

Citrus Floral Star

L’Occitane Flora pivoine edt 2.5 Oz– This is an excellent rose and peony pairing, with a clean citrus opening act. Pivoine Flora is light and a solid choice for the warmer months of the year.

The peony really starts to take over within a half hour of the first wear.

The rose, while there, is relegated to a role player. The dry down does reveal a bit of musk, but just a hint, to support the star peony.

This is really good, with a bit of a similar smell to Bright Crystal Absolu (found below). Though, the Versace is a juicier perfume with its fruit notes. The berry and pomegranate create a substantial enough distinction with Flora.

Estee Lauder Classic Blend

Pleasures Estee Lauder Women Perfume 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray In Box Sealed– A classic floral perfume that is soft, pleasant, and never overpowering. Pleasures features dewy outdoorsy notes which provide a green aroma, combined with, floral notes led by lily of the valley and lilac.

Then, as it dries down this Estee Lauder perfume, begins to have more influence from the peony and rose notes within.

This is an outstanding performer, which will last all day, and is safe enough to wear at the office or casually. Quite fresh with enough floral sweetness to be very attractive, but not obnoxious.

The peony becomes, more pronounced in the latter stages of the wear, but you do get some other nice floral notes beforehand.

Juicy Fruit and Peony

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Perfume Spray, 3.0 Ounce– You could go with the original Bright Crystal as well, but the peony note, is better in this one.

It sits alongside a wonderful, pomegranate note, and raspberry which becomes the main fruity attraction. The pomegranate is what made Bright Crystal on of my favorite women’s Versace perfumes.

This is quite similar to the original, but with some slight differences, it’s a bit fresher and cleaner smelling.

This is a really great choice for those, who want a peony note as the highlight, mixed with some gorgeous fruit ingredients.
