Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Jimmy Choo Stars. The sticky toffee-and-candied-orange heart over dusty patchouli captures the original's warm, Christmassy gourmand charm; this dupe simplifies the dusty orchid nuance and gives up some of Stars' impressive eight-hour-plus longevity.
Jimmy Choo Stars is a delicious take on the original, with candied orange and toffee that many reviewers adore, though a vocal minority find the patchouli overwhelming. It's a real love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with impressive staying power.
