901 nutmeg, almond, patchouli
by Bon Parfumeur
This perfume offers a smooth, warm, and slightly sweet profile built around spicy woody accords with a soft, creamy vanilla and almond base. It opens with a crisp citrus and ginger burst, introducing a fresh, aromatic character reminiscent of a refined aftershave. Over time, the fragrance develops into a rich, layered composition of nutmeg, black pepper, and patchouli, balanced by tonka bean and musk, creating an invitingly soft, tactile warmth that feels both masculine and unisex. It settles into a cozy, skin-scents-like dry down with a hint of vanilla that some find slightly sour in the final moments, but many appreciate the subtlety and depth. The sillage is moderate, not overwhelming, and longevity is solid—lasting over eight hours as a skin scent, making it suitable for day or night wear, especially in cooler seasons.
Pros
