Which Should You Buy?
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.
This one sparks debate. Jimmy Choo Exotic is a fruity-patchouli perfume, a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some find it a delicious, juicy update on the original, while others are put off by a perceived synthetic sweetness and an overpowering raspberry-patchouli combo.
