All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The pace is unhurried: a wool coat set aside, conversation continuing as the room settles into evening. Pepper and nutmeg lend a dry, alert edge, while soft leather and restrained tonka sweetness suit a presence that feels warm without becoming ingratiating.
How to wear
Its dry spices, woods and soft tonka sweetness suggest autumn and cooler evenings. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or chest to keep the warmer facets close; add more only after the fragrance settles. In warmer weather, a lighter application should preserve the balance between peppery bite and sweetness.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dry spice, supple leather textures and woody depth rather than overt gourmand sweetness. It suits a taste for tonka tempered by pepper and patchouli, with warmth that remains measured rather than sugary.

The nose
Corinne Cachen created 901 in collaboration with Bon Parfumeur founder Ludovic Bonneton. Her creative intention was to bring warm, opulent woods into contrast with bright citrus—a tension that gives the fragrance its balance of aromatic lift and softer depth.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton, Bon Parfumeur’s founder, worked with Corinne Cachen on 901 as the first fragrance developed for his house. He contributed to its creative vision, while Cachen is credited with the perfume’s composition.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur treats fragrance as a personal vocabulary of memories and emotions, pairing French perfumery traditions with contemporary experimentation. Its numbered, gender-neutral compositions foreground individual perfumers and invite wearers to build their own olfactory identity rather than follow fixed categories.
901 Soir Tonka’s concept
901 began as the first perfume Ludovic Bonneton developed for Bon Parfumeur with Corinne Cachen. Its resistance to conventional fragrance categories became part of its identity. The Soir Tonka presentation frames that character through an autumn evening in Paris: velvet, firelight and warm tonka set against spicy patchouli.
Extra info
901 belongs to Bon Parfumeur’s 900 “Specials” family, reserved for bold compositions that resist easy classification. Its earlier name highlighted nutmeg, almond and patchouli; the current presentation shifts the emphasis toward tonka, although almond remains in the official note pyramid.
