Getting ready has always been a therapeutic experience for me. I find comfort in sifting through the hangers in my closet and deciding on the perfect look. But this ritual doesn’t stop at picking out an outfit. It’s deciding if I want my lip gloss to match my top, how I want to style my hair, and everything in between. Especially around the holidays, I relish the small but impactful changes in my fashion and beauty routines. This year, I already took the plunge and ditched my signature fragrance for Jimmy Choo’s I Want Choo Forever ($124). And while this may seem like a minimal change, it’s already playing a major role in how I feel when I look at myself in the mirror.
Confident, sultry, and fearless are just some of the characteristics I want to embody when I walk into a room. And even hours into wearing this scent, I feel all of that and more. (The endless compliments are helpful reminders.) This spicy-sweet amber-gourmand blend has notes of juicy rose, black cherry, jasmine, and vanilla. It’s the perfect finishing touch to an elegant outfit for an evening out, but I’m equally as tempted to spritz it on fresh out of the shower before I get into bed. When I find a fragrance good enough to give my signature scents the boot, I simply have to tell all of my friends. So I recommended I Want Choo Forever to my fragrance-obsessed colleagues, Michaela Bushkin and Nayiri Mampourian, and the votes are in: This is the only scent we’ll be wearing (and gifting) for the holidays. To help you gear up for the busy season ahead, we’ve put together some holiday ‘fits inspired by this sleek and sexy fragrance. Keep scrolling for all the inspo you need.
“My current must-have fall outfit is inspired by this Jimmy Choo scent, which has quickly become my favorite. I Want Choo Forever is all about feeling confident and fearless, which is so important when getting dressed each day. The color palette of my look nods to the notes in the fragrance: juicy rose, black cherry liquor, and moss accord. A few sprays complete the look and make me feel ready to take on the day, and the result is a look that feels cool and polished yet effortless.”
“The holidays are often reserved for brighter hues, fun textures, and classic patterns, but I always like to take an unexpected approach and leave all the glitz and glamour to my accessories. I opted for a simple yet sleek pleated white dress and chose gold accessories as a subtle nod to the gold accents on the I Want Choo Forever bottle that’s earned a spot on my nightstand. Wearing an all-white ensemble feels a bit daring in a room full of bold colors, but nothing beats the sense of fearlessness I have when wearing this scent.”
“I’m a sucker for going neutral in the fall, and in my book, a tonal gray and black outfit does the trick. I was inspired by the beautiful new I Want Choo Forever fragrance from Jimmy Choo not only because the bottle itself is a gray-to-black gradient but because the scent evokes a sense of elegance with a twist. If, like me, you’re approaching the season with a darker color palette, this fragrance is the perfect element to add to your look.”
