204 perfumer Domitille Michalon says, “I imagined a sunny fragrance bursting with sweet figs over creamy sandalwood; a nap in the shade when the sun is beating down. I added a touch of green, a touch of nature, like a crunchy edamame bean.”
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of scent that suits close, easy company in warm weather, when the air is bright and the pace slows down. It gives off a soft, sun-warmed presence rather than a loud trail, making it feel intimate, relaxed and quietly polished.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in warm dry air where the fig and woods stay smooth and the green edge remains crisp. Apply lightly to pulse points or clothing for a gentle, skin-close aura; a few sprays are enough, as the fragrance is meant to feel airy rather than heavy.
Who it’s for
For those who like fruit notes with a natural, woody finish rather than a sweet dessert effect. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy soft modern musks, fig, subtle greenery and fragrances that feel clean, textured and understated.

The nose
Domitille Michalon-Bertier is known for a polished, modern style that often balances clarity with texture: luminous florals, supple woods, airy musks and fruit notes that feel natural rather than sugary. Her work tends to read as precise and wearable, with a clean structure and a tactile finish. For Bon Parfumeur 204, she leans into that signature restraint and softness, shaping fig into something creamy and sunlit rather than jammy. The edamame accord adds a green, slightly crunchy edge, while ambrette and woods give the composition its smooth, skin-close depth.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton, the founder, appears to have shaped the concept through Bon Parfumeur’s carte blanche approach, giving the perfumer freedom while steering the brand’s numbered, ingredient-led format. His role here is the house vision: a fruity composition anchored in a clear trio of fig, edamame and ambrette, presented as part of the brand’s accessible, mix-and-match system.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur builds its identity around French-made, unisex perfumery with a modular spirit: fragrances are designed to be worn alone or layered, encouraging personal combinations rather than fixed signatures. The house favors transparency, contemporary creativity and a clean, high-perfumery style that feels accessible without losing craft.
204’s concept
204, titled Velvet Fig, was created as a summer image rather than a literal fruit portrait: a sunny fig scent imagined in the heat of Cali, Colombia, with creamy woods and a green, edible freshness. The composition was built to suggest a nap in the shade, with nature rendered through texture as much as through note structure.
Extra info
204 is nicknamed Velvet Fig, and its numbering follows Bon Parfumeur’s system rather than a traditional perfume title. The fragrance is part of the house’s mix-and-match concept, designed to be layered with other compositions.
