Choix Mon Ami is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Luca Gritti. Mon Ami opens with Amber, settles into a heart of Fig, Plum, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Raspberry, and Coumarin. Choix's Mon Ami carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Mon Ami is a divisive yet utterly captivating beast. Most find it a creamy, luxurious scent with monstrous performance, but a few find the coconut challenging. Definitely one to try before you buy, it could be your next signature or a perplexing scrubber.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Its nuclear performance and strong sillage mean it's probably too much for a confined office, making it more suited for dates or casual wear where it can shine. The creamy, luxurious feel makes it surprisingly versatile for semi-formal events, despite the fruity opening.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a sun-drenched escape, where warm amber mingles with the creamy lactonic sweetness of coconut and ripe fig, underscored by a surprising hint of juicy raspberry. A sophisticated sandalwood base ensures this isn't just a fleeting holiday romance, but rather a long-lasting, smooth embrace that leans into a rich, powdery musk as it settles.
