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.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it adaptable, though some reviews suggest the prominent 'gin' note might not be ideal for all office settings. It's fantastic for casual wear and day dates due to its inviting, relaxed character. For formal occasions, it might be a bit too playful.

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.
