A Wren Says

What did I try?- Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Le Parfum, $150 for 100mL

What are the notes?-

• Top notes: pear, golden gardenia, blackberry
• Middle notes: jasmine, patchouli, ambrette
• Base notes: moss amber, sandalwood, praline accord

Did I like it?- It was okay. Not my favorite, but not the worse. There is something synthetic feeling on the top when I smell it on my skin, but that goes away for me after a bit. Then it is sweet and floral. I didn’t get the woodiness on me. Mind you, I did not smell it on paper, just on my skin. That could have to do more my own skin interaction with the juice.

Did I get any compliments?- No one noticed I was wearing this when I went for Thanksgiving dinner, but then again there were so many other delicious scents in the air at the time. But also, I got no complaints when I shared a car.

How long did it last?- Maybe a good 5 hours, and then it was close to my skin after that.

Who might this be good for?- Someone who wants a light floral with a bit of sweet woodiness

Would I buy a full bottle?- No, personally no. It is not my taste. I think it would need to be solidly sweet or pump up the woody notes to feel special enough to add to my collection.

I definitely want to try the I Want Choo Forever because it seems sweeter and has almond. And maybe I will keep trying this one out to see if I start to like it more.
