Jimmy Choo Man Blue

Jimmy Choo is synonymous with luxury lifestyle items and their latest fragrance, “Jimmy Choo Man Blue”, lends itself to the same philosophy of blending high-end elegance with the present day lifestyle. The British fashion house has taken a more casual approach in this scent, as it exudes the spirit of the self-assured, relaxed, yet ever so slightly edgy, contemporary man. This is the man that you’ll find in a suit on a skateboard, an exceptionally nuanced person with the charisma to pull the mix of casual and business off.

Mixing these seemingly contrasting details is Nathalie Lorson, a master perfumer for Jimmy Choo. The fragrance she has crafted is woody and leathery, with top notes of clary sage adding a crisp definition. Beyond the surface layers, there is an intensity of fiery black pepper and the heart consists of leather, cypress essence and grey amber. To round out the scent, there is smooth sandalwood as well as hints of vanilla and vetiver. The scent is fine-tuned to “create a masculine and modern addiction,” according to Lorson, and the almost paradoxical meshing of fire and calm in the scent serves to bring it into modern times.

The refined scent is housed in a dark blue, simplistically rectangular bottle, furthering the bold yet clear nature of the scent. The only embellishment to be found is a touch of Jimmy Choo’s signature crocodile print on the cap as this bottle, like the fragrance it encases, is not trying too hard – it’s effortlessly sophisticated. The fragrance of a cultivated yet laid-back man is embodied by Marlon Teixeira, who has a rugged yet sophisticated image.
