Max Azria BCBG Max Azria Bon Genre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. BCBG Max Azria Bon Genre opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, Pepper, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Orchid, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Max Azria's BCBG Max Azria Bon Genre carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A fascinatingly divisive oriental floral, Bon Genre swings between a 'cheap body spray' and a 'beautiful fragrance' depending on who you ask. It's a complex, sweet, and spicy blend that either hits the mark or misses it entirely.

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.

About

Opens with a sweet and tangy burst of red fruits and litchi, sharpened by a hint of pepper and bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of jasmine, tuberose, and orchid, given an unusual, exotic twist by cardamom. The dry-down settles into a warm, inviting base of amber, creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla, creating a comforting yet intriguing finish.
