Rose Passion
Jimmy Choo Rose Passion Eau de Parfum Gift Set is a present for somebody who likes sweet, creamy, tropical scent and makes no apology about it. Inside is a Nathalie Lorson composition with a short material list and a very clear character. Frangipani and jasmine lead, two rich white flowers, the frangipani fleshy and sweet and the jasmine heavier still, almost too much on its own. There is nothing sharp at the opening to get in their way. Four materials carry the first half of it and two carry the second, which makes for a very simple shape.
Coconut softens all of that from the middle onwards, lending a mild, nutty creaminess rather than any sunscreen sweetness, with orchid adding its own glossy texture beside it. Vanilla and sandalwood close the scent, and they extend rather than change it: smooth, slightly milky, sweet without being sticky, and comfortable for hours at low volume. Warm weather suits it and in the cold it can read a little flat. As a gift it is a straightforward read. If the person you are buying for already wears sweet florals, this will suit them, and if they tend towards dry or herbal scents it will not. It is made for women and it belongs to warm weather, holidays and evenings in. Six hours or so of close wear is realistic, the creaminess steady rather than developing. Boxed, it takes the wrapping problem off your hands.
The label itself opened in London in 1996 and built its reputation on women's shoes before moving into handbags and men's footwear. Inter Parfums holds the perfume licence, and Rose Passion is among the more recent additions to the women's line.
