Jimmy Choo Exotic

Which Should You Buy?
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.
Tropic chases Jimmy Choo's Exotic - that sparkling blackcurrant-and-grapefruit fruity opening over velvety raspberry and patchouli. The dupe captures the juicy, sexy fruitiness but pushes the blackcurrant sweeter and the patchouli flatter, landing more candied than the original's polished fruity-chypre, with shorter wear.
