Illicit by Jimmy Choo is a 2015 floral eau de parfum for women by Anne Flipo, a modern floral with a warm, honeyed amber base. Ginger and bitter orange open with a zesty, spicy sparkle. Jasmine sambac, orange blossom and rose form a rich, sensual floral heart. Honey, amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and cashmere wood leave a sweet, enveloping trail. Seductive and warm, it is best worn in fall and winter, from day into the evening.

The community verdict
A honeyed white floral with bitter orange and ginger up front, and amber and caramel underneath. Autumn is the season where Illicit feels best, and winter works too. Daytime wear suits it, though it also holds up at night, and women tend to reach for it.
