Chopard will launch Brilliant Wish, a “radiant floriental” flanker to the line’s 1997 Wish fragrance, next month.
Brilliant Wish was developed by perfumers Louise Turner and Michel Girard; notes include fruits, pink pepper, star jasmine, amber and woods.
Chopard Brilliant Wish will be available in 30 ml Eau de Parfum. (via cosmoty.de)

It would be my brilliant wish that this contained sparkling aldehydes or crystal musk – you know – the scent equivalent of something glittering and jewel-like.
Not fruits and pink pepper again… : – (
Pink pepper seems very popular at the moment.
The thing is, it looks like it -should- contain sparkling aldehydes.
Agree, that would be nice.
We will allow amber, as that is a gemstone!
No release is safe from flankerdom. I haven’t even tried the original Wish yet.
Oh, this is not their first flanker by any means. But there aren’t so many considering the original launched in 97.
Bottles that don’t stand up kind of bring out an ‘OCD’ reaction in me, and otherwise it’s such a pretty bottle. It makes me think the perfume is gonna spill out all over the place. As for the fragrance itself – puhlease. Fruits and pink pepper. Really? When will it ever end?! LOL
LOL! I love that bottle.
I don’t mind the pink pepper as much as some seem to. To me, it’s just as okay as vetiver in a composition. I think I appreciate it more ever since I’ve explored the pepper trees (aka Peruvian Mastic) that abound out here. Think of it as “baie rose” and it doesn’t sound so bad. Heh.
You see musk in almost everything too, but we don’t whinge about that…
I haven’t smelled anything new by Chopard, but I still think Cašmir and (to a lesser extent) Mira Baï are often overlooked, dirt-cheap gems.
My main issue with pink pepper is that it seems to make so many of the new releases smell so much alike! And, yeah, okay, it’s not a favorite note either. ha Musk seems to be a much more versatile ingredient [as long as you're not anosmic to it I suppose].
Ditto. So many fragrances have an overdose of it…makes them all smell like variations on a theme.
i always wanted a Wish bottle just to use it for other frags…
I haven’t liked any of the Wish flankers, and the original was really just a version of Angel, but my god I love that bottle.
I like the way you think! That bottle is wonderful!
What a beautiful bottle. I’d probably buy it for that alone, unsniffed LOL
It is a great design.
Didn’t like the original or the other flankers. This one is nice, I didn’t smell fruits on my skin, it is flowery and not so sweet as the original. It remembers me of another scent, but I cannot remember which one.
Thanks!
Wish was my signature scent back in 2002… Loved it ( I like seet,overly sweet and almondic,gourmand perfumes). I thought Wish was sexy and my husband liked it too. But when the gorgeous bottle was over I decided to return to Samsara and Y by YSL ( my old time favorites) and haven’t repurchased do far. Yesterday I saw this new Wish Brilliant and sampled it – it has nothing to do with the original one. It is dull, boring,plain,has no”salt& pepper”,no character,no nothing. I don’t understand why they even bothered to bring it on the market. On the other hand, I could never understand why the original Wish is not selling better.. So strange, when you think how complete stupidities, like Nina by Nina Ricci or many other fragrances alike sell in Europe.
Thanks for the review — Chopard is not widely distributed in the US, and not sure I’ve ever tried a single one of them.
