901 With Nutmeg, Almond Patchouli (EDP)

Eau de Parfum 30ml

OLFACTORY FAMILY: Oriental


Bon Parfumeur 901: a pinch of ginger that awakens the first citrus notes of mandarin and grapefruit. The warmth of the spices emerges and ignites the heart notes. Black pepper, chilli and nutmeg make a fearless trio! The almond then reveals its softness and marks the transition to sweet vanilla facets.

What does ginger smell like?
Fiery Ginger features a surprising duality ranging from hot to cold. It releases intensely fresh and peppery facets with hints of rose. Now you know why it has a devilish reputation! Louis XV is said to have used this ingredient as an aphrodisiac. He regularly perfumed the places where he met his beloved (Madame du Barry) with the spice and she fell in love with his charm thanks to his aroma.

A feminine and masculine note, it refreshes the top notes and warms the heart of the creations. Its bright and energizing character goes very well with citrus, oriental and woody notes. Ginger rhizomes are grown in China, Japan, Jamaica and Africa and their essence is extracted by steam distillation or CO2 extraction.


How to recognize nutmeg?
This Indonesian treasure with spicy, dry, warm, aromatic and camphoric accents adds depth and an earthy leathery dimension. Its fascinating olfactory complexity fascinates perfumers. The streets of Rome are said to have been scented with nutmeg for the coronation of Emperor Henry VI in 1190. The nuts are protected by a membrane called mace. Two essences are therefore obtained – mace and nutmeg – which have a different smell from each other. Only unsaleable or broken nuts are distilled as the best specimens are intended for use in cooking.

What does almond smell like?
Almond essential oil is not used in perfumery. The fragrances recreate almond notes using tonka bean, heliotrope, vanilla and others. Almond is floral, vanilla-like, balsamic and sweet. By adapting the different facets of the accord, the almond can be made more or less green and take on the dimensions of cherries, frangipani, barley syrup or calissons. It pushes "balsamic" notes, also known as vanilla notes, and offers delicate powdery facets
