Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Illicit EDP
A honeyed, spicy floral with a creamy sandalwood base, Illicit EDP is playful yet grown up, radiating modern confidence and inviting warmth. It walks the line between sweet flirtation and polished sophistication.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.306 Illicit EDP
No.306 follows Jimmy Choo Illicit's ginger-and-bitter-orange opening into a honeyed rose-jasmine heart faithfully enough to read as the same fragrance family, trading some of the original's polish for a shorter, simpler finish.

Illicit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Date Casual
