403 Myrrh Shadow
403 Myrrh Shadow by Bon Parfumeur is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bitter orange, grapefruit and blackcurrant, moves into basil, cinnamon, sichuan pepper and cypress and dries down to cedarwood, akigalawood, patchouli, myrrh, benzoin and vanilla. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
