302 amber, iris, sandalwood
by Bon Parfumeur
302 by Bon Parfumeur unfolds as a soft, cozy amber with a warm, powdery core centered around sandalwood and iris. The initial burst is gently sweet and slightly fruity, with geranium and red berries adding a subtle lift, though this fades quickly into a deeply resonant, creamy amber backbone. The dry down reveals a smooth, vanishing sandalwood mouthfeel with a fine incense and powdered iris trail that lingers subtly, offering a quiet but comforting presence. The fragrance is neither bold nor overwhelming — its sillage is moderate and intimate, making it ideal for close proximity and year-round wear, especially in colder months. It carries the character of a designer scent with a calm, unassuming elegance, reminiscent of Tom Ford Noir’s understated sophistication, but softer and richer in texture.
