All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of fragrance that suits close conversation in a cool room, where its green citrus and dry woods read as composed rather than loud. It gives the impression of someone neat, observant and slightly old-school, with a clean edge that never feels sterile.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, when its yuzu and violet leaf can stay crisp and transparent. Apply lightly to let the vetiver and musk settle into a dry, shaded trail; a few sprays are enough, as the scent is designed to feel airy and easy rather than dense.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like citrus with structure, green notes with a vintage feel, and cologne-style freshness that dries down into vetiver. It will appeal to those who prefer understated, polished scents with a clean, slightly botanical character.

The nose
Carla Chabert. Chabert is known for composing fragrances with a clear, balanced structure, often pairing vivid citrus with green, woody and musky facets so the composition feels luminous but grounded. Her work for Bon Parfumeur 003 follows that style closely: a modern cologne built around energy, freshness and a dry, elegant finish. In 003, she shapes yuzu and violet leaf into a crisp opening, then lets jasmine and vetiver give the fragrance a more classical, almost old-world polish. The result is a fragrance that feels contemporary in texture but rooted in the discipline of traditional cologne construction.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton shaped the house concept and the nostalgic Cologne brief, framing 003 as a modern echo of 19th-century tonic infusions and Bon Parfumeur’s numbered, ingredient-led system. Carla Chabert translated that idea into the finished formula, balancing citrus brightness, green facets and dry vetiver.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur builds its identity around contemporary French perfumery that is playful, unisex and modular, with fragrances designed to be mixed, matched and worn as personal combinations. The house emphasizes French production, clean formulas, eco-conscious packaging and a creative, accessible approach to niche fragrance.
003’s concept
003 was conceived as a nostalgic cologne, inspired by the old barber and pharmacist tonics of the 19th century and filtered through Bon Parfumeur’s modern, numbered system. The brand presents it as a fresh, green interpretation of that tradition, with yuzu, violet leaf and vetiver forming the core of its character.
Extra info
003 is part of Bon Parfumeur’s numbered collection, where each fragrance is identified by its creation order and core note trio. The brand describes it as a modern take on a nostalgic cologne, and its name simply follows that internal system.
