Jimmy Choo Illicit Eau de Parfum 40ml Spray

Jimmy Choo Illicit Eau de Parfum 40ml is a sensual, honey-warm floral for women, launched in 2015 and signed by perfumer Anne Flipo. A bright, slightly spicy opening of bitter orange and ginger leads into a soft white-floral heart of jasmine and rose, before settling into a glowing base of honey, amber and sandalwood — a fragrance designed to feel as quietly indulgent as the line's signature gold-dipped flacon.

About Jimmy Choo

Jimmy Choo was founded in London in 1996 by shoemaker Jimmy Choo and former Vogue accessories editor Tamara Mellon, and grew quickly into one of the leading luxury accessories houses, especially for women's footwear. The brand's fragrance line, produced under licence by Inter Parfums, debuted with Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum in 2011; Illicit extends that signature into a warmer, more evening-leaning chapter.

Who it's for

Illicit suits women drawn to warm, slightly gourmand-tinted florals with a polished feminine character. The honey-and-amber drydown gives it real presence, making it especially comfortable in autumn and winter, and a particularly strong choice for evening wear, dates and dinner contexts. Anyone who enjoys Mugler Alien or Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium will find familiar territory.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two sprays usually balance well; the honey-amber drydown blooms on warm skin and rewards a moderate, considered hand. The 40ml format is ideal as a first bottle or for travel.
