sensual and animal;

perfectly in control of
his body.”

since then he’s gone on to front
this season’s shoe campaign
with the brand. The Jimmy Choo
man has a hint of rock ‘n’ roll,
with effortless attitude and a

ultra-sexy, suave campaign. “I see

said Sandra Choi, creative director
of Jimmy Choo of how they
imagined the fragrance looking in
its conception. “I wanted to create
something that would be an object

and complementing his effortless
sense of style.”

include top notes of lavender,
a heart of pineapple leaf and
base notes of Patchouli.
