Jimmy Choo Eau de Toilette 60ml Spray Monsoon The woody-resinous centre keeps itJasmine and tuberose lead that full bodied white floral note that sits somewhere between perfume counter and actually wearable. Jimmy Choo pads it with almond and sandalwood, so it settles into something warmer than the opening suggests. Eau de Toilette, 60ml spray. Two or three sprays in the morning hold through the day without announcing themselves from across the room. Reapplies cleanly mid afternoon if you want the lift.
