Best Jimmy Choo perfumes and colognes

Start with I Want Choo Forever — the most-loved of the line by a wide margin, a warm, sweet-fruity women's eau de parfum that reads polished rather than sugary, and the safest gift in the range.

Who each other pick suits:

• Rose Passion — a bright, citrusy rose for daytime and warm weather; the lightest, easiest wear here.
• Blossom — fresh, floral and youthful; a good first Jimmy Choo or a spring/summer signature.
• Flash — fruitier and more playful, for someone who likes a sweeter scent with presence.
• I Want Midnight — deeper and more evening-leaning; the one to choose for nights out.
• Man Aqua and Man Ice — the men's side: Aqua is clean and aquatic, Ice is cooler and sharper for hot days.
• Man Blue — a leather-and-amber fougère, the dressier men's option.

Concentration matters: the eau de parfums (the women's picks) last longer than the men's eau de toilettes, so expect to re-spray the men's ones later in the day.
