The project was born from two things: his return from \u003cstrong\u003eColombia\u003c\/strong\u003e, where he lived surrounded by the scents of cocoa, coffee, and tropical flowers, and his meeting with the great perfumer \u003cstrong\u003eRaymond Chaillan\u003c\/strong\u003e, who showed him that perfume could be described through the five senses rather than through words. Its distinctive feature lies in its numbering system, which is far from arbitrary: \u003cstrong\u003ethe first digit indicates the olfactory family, while the following two indicate the fragrance's rank within that family\u003c\/strong\u003e. The creations are designed from the outset to be \u003cstrong\u003emixed and layered\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Mix \u0026amp; Match principle. Each fragrance is entrusted to a different perfumer and is born from a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise image\u003c\/strong\u003e brought to the studio by Bonneton. Everything is \u003cstrong\u003emade in France\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of cypress, elemi, and bergamot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecypress\u003c\/strong\u003e opens aromatically and slightly spicy, with a touch of génépi. The \u003cstrong\u003eelemi\u003c\/strong\u003e brings its citrusy and peppery resin, while the \u003cstrong\u003ebergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e adds its sparkling quality. A lively and resinous start before the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of plum, cinnamon leaf, and incense\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives velvety, sweet, and distinctly syrupy — it is the star ingredient of the fragrance. The \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, milder than the bark, warms it up, and the \u003cstrong\u003eincense\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a camphorous and peppery facet that prevents the fruit from becoming cloying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of labdanum, vanilla, and cedar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elabdanum\u003c\/strong\u003e brings its leathery and woody resin, the \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e its addictive roundness, and the \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e its dry wood — like that of a sharpened pencil. The trail is warm, liqueur-like, and long-lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature touch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe scent of the backstage, not the show.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ludovic Bonneton provides the image: \"\u003cem\u003eI wanted to recreate the effervescent atmosphere of an evening at the Opéra Garnier in this fragrance. The syrupy plum or the varnished parquet of the backstage.\u003c\/em\u003e\" And it is indeed the \u003cstrong\u003esetting\u003c\/strong\u003e that the formula captures in the bottle, not the music: the \u003cstrong\u003evelvet of the seats\u003c\/strong\u003e in the fleshy plum of the title, the \u003cstrong\u003evarnished parquet\u003c\/strong\u003e in the dry cedar of the base, and the \u003cstrong\u003eincense\u003c\/strong\u003e for the air of a hall before the curtain rises. The perfumer summarizes her method: \"\u003cem\u003eWe wanted a gourmand fragrance centered around the plum, caressed by an oriental accord.\u003c\/em\u003e\" It is one of the house's historic bestsellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, and for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGourmand, woody, and vanilla, this eau de parfum is for those who love candied fruits set against dry wood, without sugary heaviness. It gives its best from autumn to winter, in the evening, and is equally well suited for both women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e401 Prune Velours Bon Parfumeur\u003c\/strong\u003e, Nathalie Koobus captures an evening at the Opéra Garnier in a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BON PARFUMEUR","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":54414984478984,"sku":"PROD-000628","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/prune-velours-401-bon-parfumeur-eau-de-parfum_5524fc43-9bbb-4202-98a8-c766272b0594.png?v=1787047947","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/401-prune-velours","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
