803 Givre Patchouli
803 Givre Patchouli by Bon Parfumeur is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper, juniper berry and ginger, moves into anise, ylang-ylang and salt air and dries down to patchouli, seaweed and ambergris. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Anise Sweet, liquorice-like seed. Cool and slightly medicinal.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Salt Air Open, breezy and mineral. Less sweet than most aquatics.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
