Illicit

Illicit, a Warm Honeyed Floral

Jimmy Choo Illicit is a warm honeyed floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with ginger and bitter orange before a rose, jasmine, and orange blossom heart settles over honey, amber, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jimmy Choo built Illicit as a warm, seductive scent, all bright spice and soft flowers over honeyed amber. The idea was a rich, alluring femininity.

That warm sensuality is its appeal. The ginger and bitter orange give it a spicy lift, the rose and orange blossom make it floral, and the honey and amber give it a warm depth. Our interpretation follows that same seductive path.
