104 Terra Hedera

Bon Parfumeur 104, also known as Terra Edera, is a fragrance that opens with a strikingly aromatic and green character. From the first spray, it evokes a sense of freshness that's both crisp and slightly aquatic, suggesting nature in its most vibrant and dewy form. The scent is fresh spicy, with an immediate hit of cardamom that lends it a subtle peppery edge—not overpowering, but just enough to keep things lively and dynamic. This spicy element isn’t warm; instead, it feels cool and invigorating, pairing beautifully with the dominant green tones throughout the composition. Amber plays a prominent role in the drydown, adding a resonant, slightly warm depth that contrasts nicely with the greener top notes. It's not overly sweet or rich, but rather smooth and grounding. Supporting this base is vetiver, which reinforces the green theme with a clean, earthy finish. You may also detect jasmine and a subtle touch of frankincense, giving the perfume a soft floral quality and a hint of spiritual mystery. These notes remain understated but add important texture and complexity. Patchouli and galbanum are present according to the official note pyramid, but they don’t dominate the experience. The patchouli is very faint, and the galbanum is barely noticeable, if at all. A lovely surprise in the background is the whisper of orange peel. It’s not the sweet, juicy kind of orange—rather, it’s the bitter, zesty green skin, which enhances the fresh and natural feel of the fragrance. It lends a subtle citrus bitterness that sharpens the profile without overwhelming it. Overall, Bon Parfumeur 104 is a green, spicy, slightly woody scent that feels both modern and rooted in nature. It has a distinctly masculine vibe, with a crisp, elegant, and beautifully balanced composition. This fragrance works especially well in spring and milder weather, though it might be a bit too subtle for very hot summer days. Perfect for those seeking something fresh yet refined.

Just what I was looking for spring. A green, aromatic, slightly aquatic scent. After initial green burst, wet leaves, crushed stems, and a breeze coming off water. Later a touch of incense and earthiness. Really well blended, like all Bon Parfumeur scents. Well worth the price. Not a safe blind buy though I guess. Negative reviews are unfounded.

For the first 30mins or so all I can think about is the smell of freshly chopped chillies, dries down a bit more flowery and smooth but retains the chilli/pepper vibe. Very unique profile all in all and worth checking out if you like a green scent that's a bit unusual.

I usually strongly dislike aquatic notes and aromatic masculine perfumes, as I prefer those that are warmer and more intimate. This perfume is rather fresh and has a bitterness to it that I attribute to the galbanum. I wouldn't wear it nor would I want my partner to, but I don't deny it is a well-blended perfume.

Leans masculine. Super green, dry, earthy and resinous. Not my style of fragrance but if it’s yours, I would try it out. It’s blended well and great quality. I’m not sure why the reviews are so low.
