The floral family is growing! We present 106 , a vanilla Damascena rose, the perfect solution to prolong summer and for a successful return to school. Ludovic Bonneton, the founder of Bon Parfumeur, is a fan of the May roses of the Parc de Bagatelle. He dreamed of a fragrance that would transport us to a garden flooded with the scent of sweet roses. Caroline Dumur created a fragrance for Bon Parfumeur with a "sweet rose like in a garden" with more than 99% ingredients of natural origin.
To discover the 106 , you must first enter the Bon Parfumeur workshop. Once inside, we approach the floral family, which we recognize by their pink-colored labels and their number that begins with a 1. At first, we notice the 101, the very first creation of the floral family. Then 102, 103 and so on until 106, the latest launch of this perfume family... what could be simpler than a perfumer's classification to find your way around the Bon Parfumeur collection?
A natural and upcycled rose
To further our quest for naturalness and to approximate the scent of a natural garden rose, we used recycled ingredients. Processed through steam distillation, the rose petal releases a fragrant essential oil. Then, the distillation waters, which still contain some odorous molecules, are recovered. After several rounds of manipulation of this water, a new rose fragrance is produced. This rose offers a fresher, greener, and crisper scent and complements the essential oil of the Damascene rose in the creation.
It's thanks to LMR: Laboratoire Monique Remy, founded in Grasse in 1983, that we achieve such a fresh rose. They work with local producers around the world to provide perfumers with 100% pure, natural, and transparent ingredients, always with a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development.
Caroline Dumur, perfumer with unusual formulas
Caroline came to perfumery through books: "My mother has always been a big fan of perfumes. She worked in publishing and bought a lot of books on perfume, its history, the perfumery profession, and raw materials. I remember this photo of a perfumer smelling a civet, it struck me, it was a kind of trigger." An original way to enter the world of perfumery! What we love about Caroline is that she hides many secrets, legendary ingredients, atypical formulas... but above all, her welcoming and kind nature. Caroline is also the creator of Nomade Naturelle by Chloé, Chlorophylle Gardenia by Comme des Garçons, Pure XS For Him by Paco Rabanne.
