Choice Bold
Fragrance notes
Character
Choice Bold presents a heavy bouquet of ylang-ylang and jasmine that sits close to the skin, supported by a patchouli note that anchors the blend without pushing it outward. Vanilla adds a thick, sweet layer that feels powdery rather than creamy, while musk rounds the edges so the floral intensity never becomes sharp. The composition is balsamic and warmly spiced, giving the scent a dense, indoor feeling that matches a cold night spent inside. It is a fragrance that stays personal, moving with the body instead of announcing itself across a space, and the woody elements keep the sweetness from becoming the only thing you notice.
Jordi Fernández composed this 2020 release for The Body Shop as an oriental floral that leans fully into its yellow and white floral accords. The patchouli here is earthy but subdued, letting the vanilla and spice lead while the musk ensures the wearer carries the scent rather than projecting it widely. It suits someone who enjoys a traditional, slightly old-fashioned floral that feels substantial and warm on the skin, though those who dislike powdery sweetness or heavy florals will find it overwhelming. The fragrance maintains its presence on the skin for a reasonable span, ensuring the vanilla and ylang-ylang remain noticeable
