Choix Reve D'or is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Luca Gritti. Reve D'or opens with Passionfruit and Rum, settles into a heart of Amber, Rosewood, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Choix's Reve D'or carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A genuinely divisive scent. Community reviews split sharply: some call it an underestimated gem with nothing else like it on the market, while others find the ambergris-driven opening off-putting and hard to wear. A 3.6-rated wildcard worth sampling before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 Occasions

With community reviews universally describing this as 'disgusting' and 'horrible', it is entirely inappropriate for any social setting, including casual wear. There is no scenario where this would be well-received by others, let alone yourself.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

An opening blast of synthetic 'passionfruit' and a chemical-laced 'rum' note immediately assaults the senses. It promises a journey into exotic territories but delivers only confusion. As it 'dries down', a cloying sweetness emerges from a vague caramel and vanilla, attempting to mask an unsettling, unidentifiable undertone that lingers stubbornly, like burnt plastic. Amber and iris try in vain to add some depth, but everything is drowned in a noxious, off-putting foundation.
