Chopard Wish is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Nathalie Lorson. Wish opens with Black Locust, Yuzu, Orange Blossom, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Milk, Jasmine, Violet, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Toffee, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Chopard's Wish carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Chopard Wish is a divisive beast: some love its sweet, complex gourmand charm, a smoother cousin to Angel. Others find it overwhelming, a sharp, powdery mess that's been reformulated into oblivion. Best approached with caution, and ideally a blue juice bottle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Wish's strong, sweet, and projecting nature makes it better suited for evening wear and special occasions than for the office or gym. While some lighter versions are deemed work-appropriate, the general consensus points to a scent that can be overpowering if not used sparingly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This one opens with a cacophony of bright, juicy fruits - think strawberry, blackcurrant, and pear - quickly softened by creamy coconut and a delicate hint of orange blossom. The heart introduces a rich, lactonic blend of honey and milk, surrounded by a bouquet of white florals like jasmine and magnolia, all grounded by a powdery violet and heliotrope. The dry down is a warm, sumptuous gourmand fantasy, with sticky caramel, buttery toffee, and sweet vanilla melting into a woody base of sandalwood, patchouli, and smoky incense.
