The Essence Vault Bon Bon - 143 is an Eau de Parfum. Bon Bon - 143 opens with Orange Blossom and Peach, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. The Essence Vault's Bon Bon - 143 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

No. 143 goes straight for Viktor & Rolf Bonbon's caramel-and-peach signature and gets the sugary opening close, but the tonka base is thinner than the original's rich praline drydown, so the sweetness fades faster and flatter.

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

The Essence Vault's No. 143 is a direct play on Viktor & Rolf's Bonbon, one of the most recognisable gourmand fragrances on the market. The opening delivers the same instantly-sweet caramel rush layered over juicy peach and a touch of orange blossom, and it captures the playful, indulgent character that made the original so popular convincingly well for the price. Where Bonbon builds real depth through a rich praline-and-tonka base that lingers for hours, No. 143 leans on a simpler tonka bean finish that reads noticeably thinner and disappears sooner, losing the original's plush, dessert-like warmth in the drydown. It's a fun, wearable caramel gourmand for casual days or a low-key date, just don't expect the all-day sweetness or the layered richness of the real bottle.
