Bon Parfumeur

Bon Parfumeur is the perfume house of Ludovic Bonneton, and the story on its own site begins in 2017. He had come back from Colombia, where he had lived among the scents of cocoa, coffee and tropical flowers, and teamed up with French perfumers to turn his memories into perfume.

Each bottle carries its creation number, and the range is sorted into ten families numbered 000 to 900, from colognes and florals to woods and aquatics. The juice is produced in Grasse, the glass comes from Normandy, the labels are printed in Cognac and the boxes are made in Grignan. Its perfumers include Paul Guerlain, Anne Flipo and Clément Marx.

In Paris it has two shops of its own in the 4th arrondissement: the flagship at 17 rue Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie and the historic boutique at 11 rue des Francs Bourgeois, both open daily from 11:30 to 19:30. The house describes them as a meeting point between the perfumer's workshop and the founder's apartment. In France an eau de parfum such as 003 French Yuzu costs €60 for 30 ml and €115 for 100 ml. Try 601 Nuit Vétiver first: it is the house's night walk through Paris.
