Bon Parfumeur 403 Myrrh Shadow is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Quentin Bisch and Amélie Jacquin. 403 Myrrh Shadow opens with Blackcurrant Leaf, Bitter Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cypress, Sichuan Pepper, Cinnamon, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Muscone, Musk, and Cedar. Bon Parfumeur's 403 Myrrh Shadow carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This polarizing scent is a dry, balsamic myrrh with a fresh, green twist, lauded by some as a modern masterpiece and dismissed by others as dusty, old-fashioned, or even Play-Doh. Definitely sample first, as you'll either love or loathe its unique character.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Given its moderate projection and a longevity that lasts maximum half a day, this scent is suitable for office and casual wear as it won't overpower. Its unique balsamic and amber nature, while subtle, could be interesting for a date, but it's not ideal for formal events due to its divisive quality and lack of traditional elegance. It's definitely not for sport.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • 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

Myrrh Shadow opens with a sharp burst of bitter orange and grapefruit, underscored by a surprising leafy greenness from blackcurrant leaf and basil. This quickly mellows into a warm, gently spiced heart of Sichuan pepper and cinnamon, supported by aromatic cypress. The dry-down unfurls a soft, powdery myrrh, benzoin, and vanilla accord, grounded by musky woods and a hint of patchouli, leaving a subtly sweet, lingering trace.
