A powerful amber and woody fragrance that connects us to the earth and echoes our inner strength.
Perfumer: Jacques Flori
"In my childhood, reckless and adventurous, I would cycle through the streets of Grasse. During the Patchouli season, I would pass right by the distilleries of the time to breathe in its warm and intense scent. Intoxicated, I would return to my parents' house with a light heart filled with indelible happiness. These memories have made me a passionate perfumer, Patchouli having become the raw material that I have always preferred to work with."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and steady presence: a coat collar, a dim room, a conversation that lingers. Its smoky resin and leathered woods create a quiet gravity, giving the wearer an earthy, self-possessed aura rather than a loud trail.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, where its ambered woods and smoke can unfold without feeling heavy. One or two sprays are enough; on skin it stays warm and resinous, while in the air it reads drier, smokier and more leathery. It wears best with space.
Who it’s for
For those who like patchouli in its darker register: earthy, smoky, resinous and a little leathery. It will appeal to wearers who prefer natural-feeling woods, amber depth and understated intensity over sweetness or freshness.

The nose
Jacques Flori is a French perfumer whose work reflects a close, material understanding of raw ingredients, especially patchouli and other earthy naturals. In this fragrance, his approach is direct and tactile: he builds a smoky, resinous composition that lets patchouli feel warm, textured and deeply rooted. His own memory of patchouli season in Grasse gives the perfume its emotional core. Rather than treating patchouli as a trend note, Flori works with it as a personal signature ingredient, shaping a composition that feels both instinctive and disciplined, with the kind of depth associated with classic French natural perfumery.
Collaborators
Robertet contributed the fragrance development, bringing its expertise in natural raw materials and French perfumery craftsmanship to the formula. The house’s role is central to the scent’s natural, woody-resinous character and its emphasis on high-quality ingredients.
100BON’s story
100BON is a French house built around natural perfumery, refillable formats and a stripped-back, responsible approach to luxury. Its identity is rooted in Grasse heritage, but expressed through modern, accessible formulas that foreground raw materials, sustainability and emotional impact rather than ornament.
Patchouli & Labdanum’s concept
Patchouli & Labdanum was shaped around a childhood memory of cycling through Grasse and passing distilleries during patchouli season, breathing in the scent of the raw material at its most vivid. That personal recollection gives the fragrance its earthy, smoky intensity and its sense of connection to French perfume craft.
Extra info
Also known as Labdanum & Pur Patchouli, this fragrance was released in 2017 and remains in production. It is part of 100BON’s natural cologne line and is presented as a 100% natural composition with a strong patchouli focus.
