301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom

Name: 301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom Eau de Parfum
Brand: Bon Parfumeur

Bon Parfumeur 301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nathalie Koobus. 301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom opens with Cypress, Ylang-Ylang, Cardamom, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Cedar, Jasmine, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Bon Parfumeur's 301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This woody-spicy number pulls off 'minimal with depth' effortlessly. It's a creamy sandalwood dream, spiced just right by cardamom, but don't expect it to shout. It's an intimate experience, gorgeous but a bit of a wallflower when it comes to performance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Its subtle sillage and comforting woody-amber profile make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. While elegant enough for a date, the poor longevity means it won't last a formal event. It's definitely not one for the gym.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an aromatic blend of cypress, cumin, and cardamom, quickly melting into a creamy heart of coconut and jasmine. The star, though, is the smooth, almost lactonic sandalwood that anchors the scent, warmed by amber and a hint of earthy patchouli. It's a comforting, sophisticated embrace that whispers rather than shouts.
