Illicit Flower

by Aliénor Massenet , Nicolas Beaulieu

Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Aliénor Massenet and Nicolas Beaulieu. Illicit Flower opens with Apricot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Grapefruit Blossom, Freesia, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Benzoin, and Vanilla. Jimmy Choo's Illicit Flower carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one is a real mixed bag. Some call it boring and generic, a forgettable floral. Others think it's a gorgeous, understated gem. It seems to be a subtle charmer for those who don't want to make a loud fragrance statement. Just don't expect a longevity powerhouse.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its light, often understated nature and soft sillage make it ideal for office wear, where strong scents are a no-go. The fresh and clean profile also suits casual daytime activities and even exercise, but its lack of projection limits its impact for formal events or evening dates.

About

Opens with a lively burst of sweet apricot and zesty mandarin, a proper fruity-fresh kick. The heart unfurls into a delicate bouquet of jasmine, freesia, and a touch of rose, brightened by grapefruit blossom and juicy pear. It settles into a soft, musky-woody base with a whisper of creamy vanilla and warm benzoin, giving it a comforting, clean skin scent.
