Jimmy Choo — I Want Choo With Love
Essence
I Want Choo With Love is the romantic rose branch of Jimmy Choo’s I Want Choo line: raspberry, mandarin and orange blossom over rose, hibiscus and freesia, finished with creamy vanilla, musk and sandalwood. Its reputation is already clear: a softer designer answer to Delina, built for pretty wearability rather than surprise.
Scent Profile
The opening is fizzy and pink. Raspberry gives the first flash a syrupy red-fruit brightness, while mandarin and orange blossom add citrus and floral lift. The first phase can be the most polarizing: some find it sparkling and joyful, while others find the early florals too powdery or loud.
The heart settles into watery rose, hibiscus and freesia. It is fruity-floral rather than jammy, with a soft tea-like and slightly powdery texture. The recurring wearer image is a fluffy pink cloud: sweet, warm and feminine, but not especially sharp.
The base is the comfort zone. Vanilla turns creamy, musk diffuses the sweetness, and sandalwood adds a quiet warm floor. The drydown is cozy and smooth, closer to powdered vanilla skin than to sticky gourmand dessert.
Performance
Performance is solid designer EDP territory. Expect a noticeable fruity-floral opening, then a soft-to-moderate trail for roughly a workday span, especially if applied to moisturized skin. It is reliable, but not oversized; the drydown is more close and creamy than room-filling.
Wearing Context
With Love is easiest in spring and fall, with enough vanilla-sandalwood warmth for cooler weather and enough fruit-floral brightness for mild days. It suits dates, weddings, gifting, daytime romance and polished everyday feminine wear. It is sweet and youthful without being club-loud.
Comparisons & DNA
Parfums de Marly Delina is the main reference. With Love is warmer, softer, less sour and more designer-friendly, but it clearly sits in the fizzy rose-vanilla family.
Delina Exclusif is relevant for the creamier side, though With Love is lighter and less dense. Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl is another fruity-rose comparison, but With Love is more powdery and plush.
Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy, Xerjoff Oriana and Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow are looser anchors for the fluffy sweet floral mood. Within Jimmy Choo, With Love stands apart from the peachy original, pear-praline Le Parfum and black-cherry Forever as the line’s rose-romantic flanker.
Reception
Early reception is strongly positive, with praise for the creamy sweetness, romantic femininity and approachable Delina-like profile. Many wearers who did not connect with other I Want Choo flankers find this one softer, prettier and more wearable.
The skeptical side calls it derivative or too safe, and some are bothered by the powdery white-floral opening. Its appeal depends on whether a familiar rose-vanilla designer scent feels comforting or redundant. Value sentiment is favorable because it offers a niche-adjacent mood at mainstream pricing.
Versions & Reformulation
With Love is a 2025 Eau de Parfum with no reformulation history. It belongs to the broader I Want Choo franchise rather than a separate line: original I Want Choo is peachy and gourmand, Le Parfum is pear-praline, Forever is black-cherry sweet, and With Love is the raspberry-rose-vanilla entry.
Acquisition Notes
This is an easy mainstream purchase through major beauty and department-store channels, with travel sizes and discounting likely over time. Sample first if you already own Delina, Delina Exclusif or Very Good Girl, because overlap is the practical risk. Blind-buy risk is mostly about the powdery opening, not quality.
