Nagaranga & Santal Citronné
100 Bonview all“Clean energy and sunlit skin. One for after dark.”
What it smells like
The story
Walking through a citrus grove in the height of summer, where the heat of the sun has intensified the oils in the orange peels and the dry, woody scent of the nearby earth. 100 Bon’s Nagaranga & Santal Citronné is this vibrant, sun-baked landscape captured in a bottle. It’s a sophisticated take on citrus that moves far beyond the simple "cleaning product" vibe. The opening is a bracing, bitter orange (Nagaranga) that feels sophisticated and slightly dry, like a high-end cocktail. It’s immediately followed by a warm, spicy heart that adds a layer of complexity and intrigue. But the real star is the dry down—a smooth, creamy sandalwood (Santal) that is grounded by an earthy patchouli. This combination gives the fragrance a remarkable depth and a sense of "quiet luxury." It’s a scent that feels both invigorating and grounding at the same time. It’s for the person who wants to smell clean and fresh but also wants their fragrance to have a bit of soul and character. It’s timeless, gender-neutral, and incredibly versatile. Reach for this on a crisp Monday morning to start your week with focus, or wear it on a warm evening to feel effortlessly chic and relaxed.
What We Love
- A beautifully balanced composition that manages to be both refreshing and warm, making it an ideal all-season fragrance for those who appreciate a sophisticated, woody-citrus profile daily.
- The use of bitter orange instead of sweet citrus gives it a mature and high-end feel that rivals much more expensive niche offerings in the "citrus-sandalwood" genre of perfumery.
- Highly versatile and truly unisex, it smells equally fantastic on anyone and adapts well to various settings, from professional environments to casual weekend outings without feeling out of place.
Worth Knowing
- As with many natural-leaning fragrances, the performance is relatively modest, with the brighter citrus notes fading within the first hour to leave a more subtle woody base.
- The patchouli note is quite prominent in the dry down, which might be a drawback for those who aren't fans of earthy or slightly "bohemian" undertones in their scents.
- It lacks a strong "sweet" element, which might make it feel a bit too dry or "austere" for those accustomed to more modern, sugar-forward citrus and sandalwood fragrances.
