Lances is a Spanish word that means the fleeting but decisive moments that change everything ever after. Risks are taken, character is forged. This extrait embodies this risk and reward dynamic with the high-contrast tension between hazelnut and four varieties of lavender. The effect is intriguingly ambiguous, simultaneously pulled towards the gourmand with the help of vanilla and sandalwood, while maintaining an aromatic aloofness thanks to the lavender and cedarwood.

Perfumer: Jean-Christophe Hérault

Orris butter, distilled from the root of the bearded iris, is one of the most expensive perfume materials in the world. Vanille des Afriques Intensivo harnesses its unique qualities – leather-adjacent with powdery undertones of violet and pepper – in a luxurious composition that is the very essence of stealth wealth. Jasmine, amber and Madagascan vanilla cushions the iris for the full pampered effect.

Inspired by the traditional Provençal sweet Calisson, an almond-shaped paste of candied fruit topped with fondant icing. This edp launches with bergamot and sugary milk. Fresh orange blossom radiates from the heart, supported by a warm and creamy sandalwood. Base notes of caramel, vanilla and musk complete the mouth-watering effect.

Named after a rare, indigenous red grape variety from the French Jura, this sensual, enveloping iris composition is built on an overdose of Bavarian iris germanica Danner. This varietal is characterized by extreme powderiness and strength. Its fruity-sweet and floral-violet notes are enriched with rare Piedmontese hazelnut extract, tonka bean absolute and sandalwood oil for depth and drama. Cat’s paw softness with all claws hidden.

Sandalwood enriched by cedarwood and enhanced by just-roasted hazelnut. Tender powdered heliotrope lightens for a nuanced sweetness that’s somewhat leatherey. While a blend of driftwood and sea salt styles this fragrance to delicious a cool pirate finish.

A happy gourmand perfume with a note of praline, amber and patchouli, all glazed with bergamot.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 501 if you have a sweet tooth and like aromas of tasty treats such as cake, candy and various patisseries.

This collaboration with Dia Art Foundation and American artist Meg Webster is an earthy, layered scent. Notes of geranium and frankincense sit on top of a mushroom accord that feels plucked from the dirt. Madagascar patchouli and sandalwood envelop green organic notes.

Meg Webster is best known for her sculptures composed of salt, earth, sand, and other natural materials, powerful statements built to disintegrate. The dramatic silver pyramid packaging is a work of art in itself, referencing Webster’s sculptural vocabulary.  The mirrored surface nods to ephemeral encounters with nature, while the bracketed pictogram emblazoned on the packaging references a motif from her early works.

Creamy rich sandalwood with a hint of smoke and a lot of ambery vibes. 

Also available as an extrait.  The EdP version smells drier and woodier (there is more focus on carrot seeds in the opening). The extrait option is smoother and somehow has a stronger violet flowers presence.

A pile-up of contrasts: cinnamon along with tropical florals frangipani and ylang ylang, against the earthy bitterness of artichoke and leather. This almost-gingerbread, almost-cement perfume confuses the senses with its animal/vegetable/mineral mystery.
