This light, juicy scent reveals itself vibrantly with a spicy-cold juniper berry and reminds one of refreshing gin in warm sunshine. A cocktail of citrus fruits, where Italian lemon, bergamot, and mandarin resonate with sun-kissed and shimmering vitality. A delicate hint of nutmeg, like a summer breeze in the hair, allows the scent to rest softly on the skin, while Indonesian patchouli with its earthy-mossy notes brings warmth to this citrusy-sparkling cocktail. Rounded off with tobacco, tonka bean, and white musk, a balanced citrus scent emerges that radiates summer serenity.
The fragrances of Bon Parfumeur can be mixed or "layered" together. Depending on the desired intensity, one can spray the recommended combination from the product description over the actual scent. This perfume combines particularly well with 801 for an aquatic note.


Top notes: Italian lemon, bergamot, mandarin Heart notes: Juniper berries, ginger, nutmeg Base notes: Tobacco, tonka beans, Indonesian patchouli, white musk

Behind the Fragrance

What is a “gin” note? Gin is a type of liquor obtained by flavoring ethyl alcohol with juniper berries, the only spice produced by a conifer. The essential oil contained in these very aromatic fruits has a fragrance and taste that combine woody, fresh, balsamic, and floral notes. The result is a full-bodied fragrance, gentle and slightly sweet with a spicy hint of pepper. Gin is used as a base for many mixed drinks. Here, Karine used an overdose of juniper berries to lend this cocktail of citrus fruits its gin aspect.

What is expression? Expression, or cold pressing, is a process used for fruits, particularly citrus ones. This is because the essential oils of these plants are contained in small glands on their peel. The technique of expression comes from Italy, which makes perfect sense as the region is one of the main producers of citrus fruits! In the past, expression was carried out by hand using a procedure called “sponge-pressing”. Nowadays expression is performed using machines that abrade the rind and tear the outer surface of the fruit to release the essence.

What is patchouli? Patchouli is a tropical plant grown in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. The plant has long stems that can grow to 1 m (3 ft 3) tall. But don’t expect to be able to identify its smell just yet as it’s the drying and processing of the leaves that creates the fabulous scent of patchouli. The patchouli essence obtained after distillation releases an earthy, damp, ethereal, powerful, and vibrant scent that gives it all its charm. Patchouli is used as an ingredient in perfumery for its incredible stabilizing and binding properties. That is why it can be found in several of our fragrances: 501, 602, 901, and even in our candle 03!
