Bon Parfumeur 004 Gin Mandarine Musc is a Cologne launched in 2021, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. 004 Gin Mandarine Musc opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, Ginger, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco. Bon Parfumeur's 004 Gin Mandarine Musc carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a clean, modern take on a gin-and-tonic, though it splits the room. For some, it's a classy, unique scent that smells "money rich". For others, it reminds them of children's cold medicine or aftershave. Definitely worth a try, but don't blind buy.

About

Opens with a sharp, sparkling blast of mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, evoking a fresh gin and tonic. The heart introduces a spicy kick from ginger and nutmeg, alongside the aromatic juniper. The drydown settles into a soft, clean musk with a hint of warm tonka and perhaps some earthy patchouli, although some detect a surprisingly fresh tobacco note.
