602 pepper, cedar, patchouli
by Bon Parfumeur
Bon Parfumeur 602 is a distinctive, unisex fragrance that combines a fresh, spicy woody core with aromatic and earthy depth. Its dominant character emerges as a complex blend of black pepper, cedar, bay leaf, and incense, creating a sharp yet welcoming mid-profile that evokes a warm, spicy spice rub or a crisp pine forest. The scent evolves with a gentle woody incense warmth, enhanced by delicate dry notes of patchouli and benzoin, giving it an earthy, slightly smoky dry-down. While many appreciate its originality, clean boldness, and balanced structure—especially for cooler seasons—it has been described as light, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity. Some find the base notes slightly sour or over-projected, particularly in the dry-down. A few users report fading quickly or being overwhelmed by its pungent herbal character.
