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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
The strong fruity and sweet accords, coupled with reports of good longevity and sillage, make it a bit much for the office or formal events. However, its vibrant and playful character is perfect for dates or casual outings, especially during warmer weather.
Seasons
The sparkling blackcurrant-grapefruit fruitiness is built for warm, bright weather and feels thin in cold.
Occasions
Playful and flirty - a casual daytime and date fruit scent rather than formal or office wear.
