It’s a beautiful smell but probably it’s a bit mild and doesnt last for many hours. I will update if i feel otherwise.

Illicit flower
I’m not a fan. On me this scent is like fresh floral slightly metallic light body spray.
Pleasant.
I’ve tried others from this brand just fine with varying results.
I have other fresh light fragrances I’d rather get.
Totally safe, light, poor longevity in me though

I don’t detect any similarities of this and envy me.. Both are good frag. Tho

I just loved is very very feminine my husband liked so much is feel strong at the beginning very clean smelling never disappointed with Choo perfumes.
Старый В – :
This reminds me vaguely of Angel, but not as overpowering / cloying. I found the longevity decent – 4 – 5 hours and then it fades into a beautiful, subtle skin scent. I really enjoy this and may have to get a bottle.
victor981 – :
I like it, can’t understand all the negative reviews. A fragrance doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, in my opinion. Perfect for springtime & day wear-Feminine, flowery & very pretty packaging.
ALONIENLY – :
Very faint. Couldn’t smell it. This is for those with a good sense of smell
maximkasid1 – :
The word illicit does not suit this scent .
It is a soft rosy floral .Very light & inoffensive .
Smells more or less like it looks a soft pink .
It isn’t bad, but nothing makes it stand out either .

i just used up my last drops of this this morning. it was my second scent from jimmy choo (i owned flash once, maybe four years ago). i dont know what it is, but i dont get along well with his scents! i mean, i dont hate this, but i dont love it either. and i REALLY love white florals, which both illicit flower and flash are! i cant put my finger on it, but there is something about them that doesnt make me want to wear them. i am never LONGING for when i can wear this, like i am with for example my chloe and my dior.

Pink, soft florals with the Illicit tingle. It’s a girly perfume but not in a sugary sweet way. It’s subtile enough. I don’t find this perfume super exiting but it’s nice! This would be a safe blind buy.
sergio 69 – :
The top notes are pretty i wish it stayed that scent. Dries down to a floral sugar water scent which is okay/ nice

This perfume comes in a pretty pink bottle and I’m a sucker for anything in pink – perfume, jewelry, clothing, shoes. This is as I had expected – a smooth soft powdery fragrance with feminine girly almost a Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet thing going on. I detected the lovely but discreet citrusy floral aroma with the pairing of mandarin orange and rose, similar to Blooming Bouquet and just as generic and lacking in personality or depth. But you know what? Sometimes it’s good to have a simple perfume when you don’t feel like making a statement or you want a sweet soft fresh scent to wear after a shower as an easy-to-wear scent for your day. Makes a great safe G rated office scent for anyone into perfume that works in close proximity to other people who take nasal offense to strong perfume.
The citrus and rose is quite fresh and delicious, summery, a picnic in the park with oranges and the scent of rose. This is fruity with grapefruit as well and turns into a cashmere scent very close to the skin and warm soft with musk. This is pretty linear and does not long very long but it feels very good on me and it’s the kind of perfume I love to wear here in Florida where it’s hot and humid all year round and most women wear fresh scents. This is quite lovely. Matches up with blouses and tops and sundresses and minis. This is also coming off as a lighter ‘cheaper’ version of Coco Mademoiselle.
Nothing special but not bad or disastrous. Every note works for me here. The fruits – pear, orange, mandarin, grapefruit; the florals – rose, freesia, jasmine – and the dry down of vanilla and musk. The vanilla becomes very noticeable in the early stages of the dry down; a powdery vanilla very pretty but not gourmand. The musk is clean and soft with additional cashmere scents. The fragrance is suitable for spring and summer months and it’s a casual day wear perfume. Very feminine.

This came off as being very generic to me. First spray reminded me of a citrusy, floral scented insect repellent. Dry down is less offensive and smells like a more floral version of Versace Bright Crystal. This was a blind buy for me, as was Bright Crystal EDT. Neither one of which I’m highly impressed by. I concur with other opinions that stated the price does not match the scent. It’s pretty, it’s casual, it’s light… But it isn’t Jimmy Choo’s best blend. L’eau is a much better buy if you’re going for new fragrances from this designer, Imo. 🙂

Yes, it is generic and boring and so commonplace, but I bought a bottle anyway. Why, because I like it, it’s cheap, and it’s not difficult! I won’t tire of it during the day, it will be gone most likely anyway and it’s inexpensive enough to spray with abandon and glee and who cares what anyone else thinks. It smells good to me.
I want a bottle of E and J Nirvana white too, and it’s about the same. I also want a bottle of Isabey Fleur Nocturne which I would spray happily all day long, but it’s kinda pricey, so I wouldn’t grab and spray as much as I wanted.
Sometimes, price dictates, but that’s ok.
Commonplace is fine too, not everything all the time has to be special.
npg858elipseskism – :
I have to agree with everyone else here. While it does smell pretty, it is boring. A good office scent I suppose. Soft silage and moderate longevity. It smells clean and floral- I get grapefruit blossom mainly with a hint of orange and rose on a musk base. It’s an uninspiring scent and wearing it is making me want SJP Lovely, which is in the same family of musky florals as this scent but far superior and at a much better price.
Edit: the dry down 6 hours after is all orange and rose. No florals.
shippi – :
Unfortunately very generic, safe, light and… boring. Nothing creative about it, but its pleasant and fresh. It is for someone who doesn’t have specific taste (or taste at all)… For presents to not so well known people.

Nice floral scent, a bit bitter, but pleasant. Moderate stillage, office safe. Good, but not ground breaking.
Kirill7 – :
a super pretty bottle! but not so impressed
a strong glam opening which reminds me of jimmy choo edt which i used to wear
but after it dries down, it starts to have a more woody touch but not in a really good way imo it kinda feels like all the flower in the field are being chopped off and died and being replaced by something else

I was excited to be given a free sample of this, and also of Illicit to try. And I’m trying to be polite, so here goes: It’s pretty, but it doesn’t last very long at all, which is a shame. I definitely got the jasmine and grapefruit blossom – it’s quite a sweet, flowery scent when it first goes on. After around half an hour, the apricot started to peek out, which mixed nicely with the flowers. But that was pretty much it, sadly. No rose, no sandalwood or musk. When I’m testing a new perfume, I’ll spritz some on my wrist, with another spritz on the inside of my elbow and upper arm, then I’ll wait and see how it goes from there. If I need to re-spray, I’ll re-spray my elbow or upper arm, so I can compare the earlier spritz with the newer spritz. I could barely smell this on my wrist after two hours, and I’ve had to re-spray this twice on my elbow and upper arm to write this review, so I’ve got to say that the longevity is pretty bad, especially considering the price tag. For the money they’re asking for this, and certainly for much less, there are equally pretty (and in some cases, prettier) floral-woody-musky scents out there that deliver much better bang for the buck. To be fair, it could be my skin chemistry – maybe this is a scent my skin eats, but I suggest definitely testing, and testing again before you commit to a full bottle. I do like the bottle though design itself though – it’s lovely.
freeraid2010 – :
I tried this yesterday. If you want a fragrance for the office that makes no statement whatsoever, this is for you. I found it boring. The bottle is really nice. I would have loved to love this, but all the notes are background type notes. Nothing stands out. I’ll give it another try sometime though because I’ve had this happen before with a fragrance and ended up passionate about it.
kmx286intitytek – :
It’s okay, nothing special.
Qiwi1994 – :
Probably the most boring and generic perfume I’ve tried in recent months.
Oleander – :
Oh dear, this is unfortunately quite….generic. I hate saying it as we all like different scents and there is a laughable amount of hate and judgement going on here lately. But I’m at loss here as to how else to describe it. Just something I smelled before in various body sprays, deodorants etc. The price just doesn’t match the scent. Shame, the first Illicit was quite nice.
utincacuutt – :
Its sexy in cool, light, metallic way but a bit generic.
The notes I detect most are the grapefruit blossom, mandarin and apricot.
mex43 – :
& the winner of the most boring, basic, unoriginal scent of 2016 goes too…. Jimmy choo Illicit flower. Honestly, one of the most boring fragrances I have ever tried I get absolutely nothing- a very faint trace of white floral that is gone within 15 minutes, which is barely detectable on first spritz. The original Jimmy Choo edp and edt are beautiful unique and iconic- every fragrance after these two has left me vastly dissapointed.
lgothic – :
This is such an ordinary scent. Very basic rose, jasmine and citrus mix. Rose is the most dominant of notes.
I don’t think it’s outstanding or easy to remember. Seems to be one of those scents you just forget about.
Not a bad scent, it’s fresh and floral, but I am not amazed by it.

Interested to see what it smells like as I like Jimmy Choo’s original Illicit. I would’ve thought it’s too soon to release a flanker though.
