In 2014, designer Jimmy Choo decided to step out of his comfort zone of glamorous shoes and accessories to launch Jimmy Choo Man Eau de Toilette.
And what an audacious masculine fragrance debut – suave, sophisticated, aromatic, and unapologetically confident. More flankers would, of course, follow.
From the freshness of Man Aqua to the deep, rich aromas of Man Intense, the Jimmy Choo mens fragrance collection balances complexity and wearability.

Don’t be fooled by the discreet bottle; Urban Hero is a rich and charismatic fragrance that will get you compliments.
