Perfumer: Nathalie Koobus
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
401 suits the moment when a lively evening settles into close conversation. Its liqueur-like plum and cinnamon bring warmth and appetite, while dry woods keep the sweetness composed—a plush presence that feels more upholstered velvet than sugary confection.
How to wear
Its ambery fruit and warm woods are well suited to autumn, winter and cooler evenings. Start with one or two sprays on the upper body, allowing the sparkling opening to settle into the sweeter woody base. Use a lighter application in warm rooms, where the gourmand richness may feel fuller.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to candied fruit, amber and boozy woody perfumes, but who prefer sweetness tempered by spice and dry cedar. It offers a gourmand character closer to plum liqueur than vanilla frosting.
Release year
2016–2017
The nose
Nathalie Koobus composed 401 around a plum-centered gourmand brief, surrounding the fruit with an ambery accord. The composition balances candied richness with aromatic brightness and dry woods, giving its sweetness structure rather than letting it dominate.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur approaches fragrance as a way to bottle memories, places and emotions through collaboration with perfumers. French production and specialist local suppliers anchor the house, while numbered olfactory families make its collection accessible and encourage personal exploration through layering.
401 Prune Velours’s concept
The house’s current inspiration story links 401 to founder Ludovic Bonneton’s memories of an evening at the Opéra Garnier: backstage excitement, polished wooden floors, velvet seats and syrupy plum. Its earlier presentation emphasized a fragrant liqueur, with candied fruit softened by vanilla and balanced by dry cedar.
Extra info
Prune Velours is the current name for the fragrance previously presented as 401 Cedar, Candied Plum, Vanilla. The name change does not establish a reformulation. In Bon Parfumeur’s current numbering system, the 400 family denotes Vanilla & Musk, while the final two digits indicate creation order within that family.
