803 Eau de Parfum – Sea Spray, Ginger, Patchouli – Sample

"Ludovic Bonneton, the founder of Bon Parfumeur, wanted to reinterpret a classic of perfumery: Patchouli. We always imagine it as a dark, very woody fragrance.... But Paul Guerlain has created for us an opaque, frosty and radiant version of patchouli." – Bon Parfumeur

What is the aquatic family? We wanted to encapsulate the smell of water in this family. Like a breeze of sea spray that caresses our face, like a refreshing morning dew ... iodine notes, watery and always invigorating.

What does sea spray smell like? Seawater, an iodized breeze. Impossible to extract olfactory substance from this sea wind, but the talent of the perfumer does wonders. It is the combination of several raw materials that gives us the smell of a sea breeze. It is thanks to these notes that the 801 takes us directly to the seaside from the first scents!

What does ginger smell like? Ginger is a rhizome with a pungent smell and taste. Its slightly pink citrus scent takes us on a journey. In the 803, ginger and sea spray are a perfect match for a fresh start.

What does patchouli smell like? It offers both balsamic and leathery notes depending on its terroir. Here, it brings body and its signature woody note to 803, while accompanying the marine notes. Generally considered a base note, patchouli is also an excellent fixative in perfumes, adding depth.
