by Bon Parfumeur
Bon Parfumeur 701 is a fresh, aromatic, and slightly herbal woody scent with prominent eucalyptus and white wood notes. It opens with bright citrus—bergamot and grapefruit—along with a subtle pineapple note that contributes to its lively, tropical aura. Midway, the eucalyptus takes center stage, giving a crisp, clean, and cooling effect that some liken to toothpaste or dill pickle, which may be off-putting to sensitive noses. The fragrance develops into a warm, dry wood and amber base with hints of incense and spice, lending it a subtle sophistication. It feels balanced, quiet, and naturally blended—more like a light breeze than a bold statement. The projection is moderate, with sillage that lingers without dominating, making it ideal for daytime wear. It suits spring and summer, particularly in warm weather. While many appreciate its clean, minimalist aesthetic and natural feel, some find it underwhelming, lacking depth and lasting presence. Its unisex appeal and affordable price point are widely noted.
