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 amber-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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

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.

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.
