Perfumer for 301: Nathalie Koobus
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close conversation and softened light, when the room is warm and the air carries a little spice. It suits someone who wants a plush, tactile presence rather than a sharp statement: smooth, inviting and slightly nostalgic, with a sensual trail that lingers near the skin.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, or on evenings when you want the amber and sandalwood to feel fuller and more enveloping. A light application is enough; the scent has enough warmth and trail to project without needing many sprays, and it settles into a creamy, resinous drydown that lasts well on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like amber-woods with a soft gourmand edge, and who enjoy fragrances that feel creamy, sensual and lightly spicy. It will appeal to people drawn to sandalwood, benzoin and ylang-ylang, especially if they prefer a rounded, textured scent over something crisp or transparent.

The nose
Nathalie Koobus is a French perfumer known for composing warm, textured fragrances with a clear sense of structure and sensuality. Her work often balances woods, resins and florals so the composition feels generous rather than heavy, and 301 shows that instinct well: sandalwood is given a creamy, ambered frame with spice and floral lightness around it. In 301, Koobus builds a woody-amber scent that reads both contemporary and nostalgic, with the smoothness of sandalwood, the sweetness of benzoin and the floral glow of ylang-ylang. The result is a fragrance that feels polished, tactile and quietly expressive.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton shaped the house’s numbered, mix-and-match concept and the broader creative brief behind Bon Parfumeur’s early fragrances, including 301’s place in the Amber and Spices family. The brand’s system of three main notes and colour-coded families also frames how the perfume is meant to be read and combined.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur is built around contemporary French perfumery with a playful, modular spirit. The house favours clear compositions, made-in-France production and a mix-and-match approach that lets wearers build their own scent wardrobe, combining artistic freedom with accessible, modern luxury.
301’s concept
301 was created as the first fragrance in Bon Parfumeur’s Amber and Spices family, with sandalwood at the centre and amber warmth wrapped around it. The brand presents it as a bold, sensual composition that can stand alone or be layered, in keeping with its open-ended, personal approach to fragrance.
Extra info
301 is part of Bon Parfumeur’s numbered system, where the 300 series marks the Amber and Spices family. The brand describes it as a “hymn to sandalwood,” and it is also presented as a fragrance designed to be mixed with other Bon Parfumeur scents.
