Quality control in perfumery: how fragrances are tested

Choix Bonbon is a unisex perfume in the Parfum (Extrait) concentration, released in 2026 by the Italian brand Choix.
The composition combines floral, aromatic and gourmand facets, creating a scent that is fresh, soft and seductive at the same time.
It is a fragrance for those who enjoy noticeable perfume accents and do not limit themselves to traditional gender boundaries.
Choix is a young, ambitious perfume house founded in 2018.
The brand's French name translates as “choice” and perfectly reflects its concept: offering expressive compositions for an independent style and personal mood.
Choix Bonbon continues this idea by combining sparkling citrus, airy florals, fruity sweetness and a warm base.
The main impression of Choix Bonbon is built on the contrast between cool freshness and creamy sweetness.
The citrus-and-mint opening gradually softens into a strawberry-and-milk nuance, while the floral heart makes the fragrance feel rounder and more elegant.
In the drydown, the composition becomes warmer thanks to vanilla, sandalwood and musk.
Perfumer Luca Gritti created a fragrance with a pronounced presence and a rich character.
Its very strong sillage makes Choix Bonbon a choice for moments when you want your perfume to shape the overall impression rather than fade into the background.
At the same time, the combination of rose, jasmine and gourmand nuances preserves an appealing softness.
As a unisex fragrance, Choix Bonbon can develop differently depending on skin temperature and individual perception.
On one person, lemon, bergamot and mint may be more prominent; on another, strawberry, milk or vanilla may take center stage.
This versatility makes the perfume interesting for sharing and for anyone who chooses a fragrance primarily by mood rather than by a “for women” or “for men” label.
The composition is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings and occasions when a pronounced sillage is part of the overall look.
Its floral-gourmand character is ideal for a date, a festive evening or a walk when you want to add brightness and a sweet accent to your style.
In hot weather, the fragrance should be tested with caution: its high concentration and rich character may feel particularly intense.
Choix Bonbon is available in the Parfum (Extrait) concentration, and its sillage is described as very strong.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available information, so the ideal amount is best determined during personal testing.
Start with a light application and observe how the composition develops over several hours.
Information about other concentrations of Choix Bonbon is also unavailable.
It is therefore impossible to compare this release with Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum versions. However, the extrait concentration itself emphasizes its rich positioning and makes the fragrance a noticeable choice for fans of intense perfumery.
If you enjoy the combination of florals, citrus freshness, fruity nuances and a pronounced sillage, try Bvlgari Rose Goldea for comparison.
It will help you assess how a floral-musk direction can sound in a more transparent and elegant style.
Choix Bonbon, meanwhile, stands out with its milky gourmand accent, strawberry sweetness and denser character.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with a fresh blend of bergamot, lemon, and mint. The citrus notes add radiance and a light tang to the opening, while the mint accent creates a cool aromatic sensation.
Jasmine, milk, rose, and strawberry come together at the heart of the composition. The white-floral and rosy accords soften the fruity milky sweetness, making it fuller and more alluring.
The base notes unfold with the warmth of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. The woody, creamy finish enhances the composition's longevity and leaves a rich, softly gourmand trail.
