Bon Parfumeur 104 - A green spicy incense scent
This review is based on a complimentary sample from vial from Bon Parfumeur.
104 is listed the Bon Parfumeur website as a green hyacinth. This is indeed a green perfume, but it feels different from green leaf perfumes such as those containing fig leaf or violet leaf. An appropriate description for 104 would be a green incense perfume.
The opening notes are galbanum, lentisque (a.k.a. mastic) and green orange. The first two are plant resins that smell very green. There is also a pepperiness in the opening, resembling the pink pepper that is seen in some Bon Parfumeur scents. The middle notes continue with the green theme, using hyacinth, ivy and jasmine. There is a floral note in the heart, but I detect the jasmine. The transition from opening to middle notes is gradual and seamless. In about 6-8 hours, the green notes subside and the base notes - patchouli, amber and vetiver- appear. The base notes are mild and unremarkable.
104 is part of the Les Prives collection, with better performance than their other perfumes. It lasts on my skin for 6-8 hours before settling into a mellow dry down. The sillage is good for a few feet.
104 is an interesting perfume, but I can’t recommend it as a blind buy. The intense green notes and the ‘after-shave’ vibe makes it less versatile. So, test it at home first. If you like the green spice and incense, it is a good buy for less than $100.
