503 Sultan Fire
503 Sultan Fire by Bon Parfumeur is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with saffron, frankincense and black pepper, moves into hazelnut, sambac jasmine and cinnamon and dries down to osmanthus, gurjun balsam and vetiver. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Hazelnut Roasted, buttery and nutty. Warm and dessert-like.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Dry-down
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Gurjun Balsam A woody resin from Southeast Asia. Smooth, faintly peppery, and it helps a scent last.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
