902 armagnac, blond tobacco, cinnamon

Wow, what a gem this is. I've been wearing it for a few weeks now, often feeling showered by a new impression every time I bring my nose to it. I bought this fragrance to test out the house of Bon Parfumeur primarily but I also had the goal in mind of disecting the notes that are so clearly stated on the bottle to train my nose. Upon first sniffing, I recognized the sweetness and tobacco immediately. I would actually in a way compares this to the sweet likes of One Million Prive by Paco Rabanne in its cinnamon and tobacco combo, but what really drags this one back into a more sophisticated character is the armagnac, which alongside the orange in the top really keeps the fragrance airy before the drydown. The One Million likeness isn't the only one I sense in this fragrance - I think the vanilla creates a similarily aromatic character to that of Eau des Baux, and I would even assert that the amber, tobacco and ginger combo makes it close to D&G The One. Enough about similarities however; how does it make me feel? Clean, yet somehow rugged and undeniably (!) drunk. Yes, the armagnac definitely makes me feel like I had some a second ago. For this reason, I find it to undeniably be a night-time fragrance. However, I don't feel like many others that this fragrance is to be boxed into the winter category just because it's warm and spicy - the green ingredients of this fragrance certianly won't allow it. Instead I see this as a great sensual yet serious fragrance for nights out, ideally in spring/autumn or if you're feeling tame, winter days inside. If you go light on the sprayer, you will get away with it during summer nights, but I'll refrain from recommending it specifically for that. For the full experience of it I would however recommend you down some actual armagnac along with a few cigarettes while your shirt progressively gets buttoned more provocatively downward. Did I mention it garners compliments? Unsolicited ones at that? My one complaint would be that it could've been even stronger, which sounds odd considering I reommended you refrain from overspraying. I moreso think that this could've been heavier by doubling down on the tobacco, but then I feel I might as well wear Jazz Club... but then I'd lose the freshness of the plum and the orange! 8.5 for what it is as a fragrance but 11/10 in terms of value. This is dirt cheap, so go ahead and finish your order so you too can smell like Alex Turner in Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

Sweet boozy fragrances! My favorite type of scents! You can guess where this review is going! 902 by Bon Parfumeur is a sweet boozy fragrance. On the label some of the dominant notes are listed: Armagnac, Tabac Blond and Cannelle. The opening is to die for! So addictive! It opens up with a spiced up Coca Cola burst! I have had other fragrances that have a Cola vibe (Roja Enigma, or Alghabra King of Flowers) but those were warm sweet boozy. 902 is al about the spices. The three prominent notes that blend together so perfect are cognac, tobacco and cinnamon. Combined with the cloves and perhaps also the sourness of an orange it adds this cold spicy element. The sweet character stays for quite some time, but eventually fades to the background and the spicy tobacco is there to rule. I would not overspray this since the spices can come over as sharp, especially in the opening. But if used moderate it becomes a sweet seductive fragrance that lingers around you for hours and hours! It bacame one of my favorite boozy fragrances! And I love my booze!

This is addictive! To me it smells definitely masculine, and I normally don't enjoy masculine fragrances on my skin, but with 902 I just kept sniffing my wrist, and wished it had a bit more of a unisex twist so that I could wear it. 902 is an all year rounder, it's fresh, but has some lovely warmth in it. It's developing on the skin, starting off fresh and quite ozonic, and with time the tobacco vanilla combo becomes prominent. The tobacco here smells like a leaf, not smoke, and 902's warmth never becomes heavy or "dirty". Rant: I find that most Bon Parfumeur fragrances, like most fragrances in general, are either more masculine or more feminine. I really wish this trend of calling everything unisex went away at last, because it's just not true, and it only makes shopping for perfume more difficult. Also it makes the definition of a true unisex scent more blurry, and it's a shame. Let's agree that everyone can wear whatever they like, but let's leave the labels, because they carry important information regarding the product.

I recently decided to try a couple of Bon Parfumeur offerings after the YouTube community has been discovering this house with more and more videos available. I was also in Paris for Easter with the idea of going to what I think is their only store, but with two children aged 2 and 8, it was impossible. So I ordered online based on my taste in notes. From this 902 I was expecting something different, more boozy perhaps and in line with things like Bentley for Men Intense. It surprised me a bit, but in a positive way. I smell more tobacco than Armagnac and the sweet touch of cinnamon is spectacular. It makes you want to drink it and it's definitely very addictive. It's not overpowering, it stays discreet and I think at first glance it's the booziest in my collection that's also suitable for work situations (office) It is also worth noting the beauty of a simple and minimalist packaging. The price is absolutely perfect for a niche perfume and I also like the idea of not giving specific names to the fragrances.

After about a month of having this fragrance I'm in love. It's one of the few fragrances that are unisex but in my mind lean more masculine. The opening is hard to describe, however imagine a Cinnamon, White floral, honey smell. The middle is a strong spicy, cinnamon, booze smell. The Dry down is sweeter, spicy, Vanilla, smooth chocolatey, boozey smell. It's a really addictive unique fragrance that will stand out. The projection is a 7/10 Simply spray more (5-7) and you will have more than enough projection. I say it leans more Fall/Winter evening and night I hope this frag stays on the low, I don't want everybody wearing it lol. I love it.
