A fresh formula which smells like sea spray on pebbles and some driftwood drying in the sun.
Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 801 if you like the marine theme, dry woody nuances and a touch of sunny citrus.
Perfumer for 801: Karine Dubreuil-Sereni.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of being near the water before the day has fully warmed up: wind on skin, salt in the air, a shirt still carrying the trace of last night’s wash. It suits a calm, self-possessed presence that feels fresh without trying to be invisible.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its citrus and sea-salt facets stay bright and its cedar and cypress dry down cleanly. A few sprays are enough; it wears with a light, airy diffusion and sits close enough for everyday use without losing its breezy trail.
Who it’s for
For people who like crisp aquatic scents with a natural, understated finish rather than sweet or heavily ozonic marine perfumes. It will appeal to those drawn to citrus, rosemary and dry woods, and to fragrances that feel clean, transparent and quietly modern.

The nose
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni is a French perfumer known for polished, luminous compositions that balance clarity with sensuality. Her work often moves between accessible elegance and strong structure, which is why she is associated with major modern successes as well as more characterful niche projects. For Bon Parfumeur 801, she translates a maritime image into a clean aquatic accord, using citrus, aromatic herbs and dry woods to suggest movement, salt and sunlight rather than a literal seascape. The result fits her reputation for composing fragrances that feel refined, legible and well-proportioned.
Collaborators
Founder Ludovic Bonneton shaped the brief and creative direction, describing a desire for a fragrance that would carry the wearer away in the middle of the sea rather than simply read as an exotic scent. Karine Dubreuil-Sereni then turned that concept into the finished formula, translating the visual idea of a wave into a wearable aquatic composition.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur builds its identity around contemporary French perfumery: artisanal, made in France, and designed with a spirit of freedom rather than rigid gender codes. The house encourages mixing and matching between scents, treating fragrance as a personal composition instead of a fixed signature.
801’s concept
801 was released in 2016 as part of Bon Parfumeur’s aquatic universe. The fragrance was inspired by Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, with Karine Dubreuil-Sereni and founder Ludovic Bonneton aiming to turn the image of a maritime journey into scent, all salt spray, movement and sun-dried wood.
Extra info
801 belongs to Bon Parfumeur’s aquatic collection and is also known as 801 Sea Spray, Cedar & Grapefruit. The bottle is made by Pochet du Courval, the historic French glassmaker, and the fragrance is made in France.
