301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom

301 by Bon Parfumeur is a refined, warm sandalwood fragrance with a delicate balance of spice, amber, and coconuts, delivering a creamy, smooth woodiness that evokes a well-worn leather journal or a quiet, nostalgic room. The cardamom provides a bright, slightly cold, glassy lift early on, which blends seamlessly into a soft, elongated sandalwood base that feels more elegant and less sweet than many like it. While some note coconut nectar or jasmine, most experience a core of woody spice and vanilla-like amber, with the sandalwood persisting long after the initial burst. Despite moderate sillage and a generally diminished longevity, a surprising few users report long-lasting traces even after showering, suggesting it performs well on certain skin types with more successful layering. It shares strong similarities with Tom Ford’s Santal Blush, though it’s less expensive and more intimate in presence, making it ideal for confident wearers seeking a discreet, sophisticated staple for cool-weather days or night-time relaxation.
