Bon Parfumeur 402 vanilla, toffee, sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Corinne Cachen. 402 vanilla, toffee, sandalwood opens with Almond Blossom and Apple, settles into a heart of Heliotrope and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Sugar, Musk, Sandalwood, and Benzoin. Bon Parfumeur's 402 vanilla, toffee, sandalwood carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and charming, this vanilla-toffee concoction splits opinion right down the middle. Some find it a delicious, nostalgic gourmand, while others are baffled by its 'play-doh' or 'plastic' notes. Try before you buy, but for those it suits, it's a cold-weather cosy classic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual day wear and intimate evenings without being overwhelming. The sweet, warm profile leans into a cosy casual vibe, especially for colder months, but isn't quite formal due to its gourmand nature.

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
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Bon Parfumeur 402 opens with a fleeting, juicy hint of apple balanced by the delicate, powdery sweetness of almond blossom. It quickly settles into a creamy heart of heliotrope and a warm, inviting vanilla. The dry down is a comforting embrace of rich caramel, a soft sugary musk, and a grounding sandalwood, leaving a trail of sweet, balsamic warmth.
