802 pivoine, lotus, bambou
by Bon Parfumeur
802 pivoine, lotus, bambou by Bon Parfumeur unfolds as a light, watery floral with green and aquatic character. The initial impression is a lively burst of black currant, osmanthus, and violet, followed by a developing core of peony, lotus, and freesia that feels both fresh and serene — like a secluded pond in a forest, cool and inviting. As it settles, the fragrance calms into a soft, musky background with ambrette and white mellow note, giving a nearly skin-scent quality that lingers moderately. The green bitterness and floral precision create a niche, mindful aroma that some compare to a spa or reed diffuser, while others find it too synthetic or overwhelming, especially in the opening stage.
Pros
- +Elegant, serene aquatic floral character ideal for warm weather and spring/summer use
- +Natural-feeling evolution from initial burst to musky-sweet base
- +Strong presence and resonance as a personal fragrance in daily wear situations
Cons
- −Can feel synthetic or over-processed for some, resembling laundry softener
- −Slight green bitterness may cause irritation or discomfort on sensitive skin
- −Limited longevity and moderate sillage may not satisfy those seeking strong presence
