J C - 33

No. 33 opens with the same juicy pear and green freshness that made the debut Jimmy Choo eau de parfum a hit, moving into a tiger orchid heart before settling into a toffee-patchouli base. The opening is a close match for the original's fruity-chypre signature, but the transition into the base happens faster and with less of the rich, slightly boozy patchouli warmth that gives the real Jimmy Choo its sensual weight. As a result, No. 33 reads sweeter and lighter across the dry-down, and its projection tapers off within a few hours where the original holds on for most of the evening. It is a fun, accessible take on the glamorous-gourmand mood of the debut Jimmy Choo scent, best suited to those after the vibe rather than an exact match.
