503 Sultan FireSpicy Gourmand Parfum Elixir

503 Sultan Fire by Bon Parfumeur is a spicy gourmand perfume elixir with a woody facet, unisex, in a 50 ml bottle. The hazelnut is rendered green, not roasted, which changes everything: the fragrance remains crisp where most gourmands turn to praline.

A house born from a return from Colombia

Ludovic Bonneton founded Bon Parfumeur in 2017, upon returning from Colombia where he lived surrounded by cocoa, coffee, and fragrant flowers. Determined to put his emotions in a bottle with rare materials, he partnered with French perfumers rather than composing himself. Each creation is built around a strong olfactory contrast, here that of dry saffron against the nut.

An opening of saffron and olibanum

The top combines saffron, black pepper, and olibanum. The saffron opens leathery and slightly bitter, the black pepper makes it biting, and the olibanum, the resin harvested by incision from the Boswellia, immediately establishes a dry smoke. A severe, almost austere start, for a fragrance one would expect to be sweet.

A heart of green hazelnut and cinnamon

The heart brings together hazelnut, cinnamon, and jasmine. The house describes a green hazelnut that is crunchy and surprising, spices that set the precious woods ablaze, an electric night in Istanbul, the sparkling palaces and the undulating Bosphorus. Jasmine, the only floral in the formula, serves as a binder between the fatty matter of the hazelnut and the warmth of the cinnamon.

A base of osmanthus and vetiver

The base rests on osmanthus, balm, and vetiver. Placing osmanthus in the base is uncommon: this Asian flower, with an apricot and leather scent, usually sits in the heart. Here it lasts and extends the fruit, while the vetiver dries the whole and the balm brings it back to comfort.

The house's signature

A gourmand built without vanilla or caramel. Sugar is never added: it is drawn from materials that naturally carry the sensation, hazelnut, osmanthus, and balm. The result reads like a dessert without having its heaviness, and keeps all its longevity thanks to the vetiver.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love gourmands but often find them too sweet. Extravagant sillage, unisex, wearable all year round, day or night. 503 Sultan Fire Bon Parfumeur fully expresses itself in autumn and winter evenings, where saffron and cinnamon take their full place.
