A shot of energy and spice. Ginger awakens the first fresh notes of grapefruit. Nutmeg and black pepper add spice while almond reveals its softness and opens the transition to vanilla and sweet facets. Patchouli and musk leave sensual scents on the skin.

What is the Bon Parfumeur Special family?
Here, the perfumes are very intense and sensual. They are our unclassifiable favourites, off the beaten track. Powerful and intense notes that leave no one indifferent.
What does nutmeg smell like?
Spice coming straight from Indonesia, nutmeg seduces by its smell and its particular taste! In perfumery, its woody and spicy note is the starting point of perfumes. Here, it balances perfectly with the roundness of the almond for a soft spicy start.
What does almond smell like?
Sometimes floral, vanilla, balmy or suave, the notes of almond are derived from a chord. By playing with the different facets of the latter, the almond will have a more or less green dimension, cherry, frangipane or orgeat syrup. It propels the "balsamic" notes, also called vanilla, while offering delicate powdery facets.
What does ginger smell like ?
Fiery ginger presents a surprising duality that runs hot and cold. It releases intensely fresh and peppery facets with accents of rose. Now you know why it has a devilish reputation! It is said that Louis XV used this ingredient as an aphrodisiac. He would regularly scent the places he met his sweetheart (Madame du Barry) with the spice and she fell for his charms thanks to its aroma.
A feminine and masculine note, it refreshes top notes and warms the heart of creations. Its bright and energising character pairs very well with citrus, oriental and woody notes. Ginger rhizomes are grown in China, Japan, Jamaica and Africa, and their essence is extracted by steam distillation or CO2 extraction.
What does patchouli smell like?
It offers both balsam and leathery notes depending on its terroir. Here, it brings body and a woody note to 901, balancing the spicy, powdery notes of nutmeg and almond. Generally considered a base note, patchouli is also an excellent fixative in perfumes, adding depth.
