Waiter, there's soap in my drink

Booze, spice and tobacco would fit well in a thick and heavy winter scent. This perfume doesn't have the depth and body to survive in winter, though. Bon Parfumeur chose a clean musk for a base and as a result this is now a light summer cocktail. Spicy gin-tobacco with soap bubbles. Not to everyone's liking as it really has a bathtub vibe now and then. But I particularly enjoy the combination of juniper, ginger and tobacco leaves, so I take the soap bubbles for granted. Ideal for poolside chilling.

Is this how Citrus smells in an parallel universe?

For me, it's a fragrance from another planet. the scent conjures up 70s star trek scenes in my mind's eye, where the crew lands on a humanoid planet, light years away from earth. They can be seen walking through a kind of alien-version citrus plantation and the scent of the galaxy, the freshly materialised environment and the citrus is in the foreground, wafting around in an otherworldly way together with unknown flowers and fruits of that planet. Familiar, somehow memory-awakening and still unknown, new and exciting. slightly sweet, slightly tangy, slightly tart - in addition to citrus, I smell the gin spices, fine peppery notes, musk, fresh linen and tart berries - perhaps gooseberry?

Pleasant gin-and-tonic modern freshie

Sampling Bon Parfumeur 004 Gin Mandarin Musc, and like 003 (which I sampled yesterday), this is a really pleasant blend that feels aptly described by the titular trio of notes, with fresh/sweet/tart playing against junipery/somewhat boozy gin, tastefully modern but with enough of a classic cologne aspect, something vaguely reminding me of Dior Eau Sauvage, that it’s a nice innovation while not being terribly new or unique. A bit of a gin-and-tonic cologne vibe, overall, while not insisting heavily on the alcoholic aspect.

The concentration is EDP with retail pricing of $107/53/34 for 100/30/15ml, sold at boutiques like Ministry of Scent from which. It performs pretty well, also.

Gin + Tobacco + Citrus

This was a total blind-buy, so I went in expecting a fresh, citrusy kind of fragrance with some G&T vibes. Although that element is present in the fragrance, to my delight the tobacco is actually the star of the show. This is one of the best and only fresh, summer appropriate tobaccos I know of. The fragrance opens with a bouquet of sweet citruses, zingy ginger, and just a twinge of juniper, but it quickly morphs into a leafy tobacco with just a touch of tonka sweetness, almost Christmassy spices, and smooth musks, while still maintaining its overall freshness and vibrancy. And that's it! Like other Bon Parfumeur fragrances, 004 mostly remains linear the rest of its life (which is about 8-10 hours on my skin, with decent projection even through my mask for the first 2 hours), and I'm totally okay with it.

This has become my new go-to dumb reach fragrance. I cannot imagine a time or a place where this wouldn't be apropos. Office, date night, casual hangouts with the homies, maybe even semi-formal occasions - I could see 004 working well in all of those instances. It's like a pair of dark blue, quality designer jeans - it just works. Has signature scent written all over it. The best way I could describe this fragrance is "handsome". A handsome, masculine, tailored navy blazer of a fragrance. Somewhat unisex, but personally I think this would work best on a man. Wearable all year round.

Overall, this is not blazing new olfactory trails or some kind of grand artistic statement, but it does smell damn good, and I absolutely love it. For the price, you get a relatively unique (as in it doesn't smell like a designer), natural smelling fragrance with pretty great performance. What's not to love?

9.5/10, because nothing is perfect.

Built for summer

SKIN TEST UPDATE: Even more beautiful on skin than the test strip! I’m realizing that BP’s fresh scents are the ones that rock my socks. Aromatic, crisp, sheer and slightly bitter. Beautiful. I love how biting the juniper berry note is but I also genuinely love both juniper berries and gin.

I could see this being difficult for some, so I think you truly need to sample even if you love all the notes. I’m shocked that this freshie after 3+ hours the longevity and sillage outperforms the woody & earthy 401. Maybe I do need the $40 bottle.

Tbh I had no idea that 004 had patchouli listed as a base note. I’m very happy I either can’t detect it or this is the freshest patchouli I’ve ever smelled, so it doesn’t leave me running to the windows wildly gulping fresh air.

004 is fresh and musky, ideal for hot & humid days. It’s perfect for when dense, super sweet or spicy scents would be suffocating. To me, this reads as slightly aromatic (the juniper berry/gin), slightly sweet scent that’s a short walk from a true Gin & Tonic cocktail, though not entirely.

The mandarin adds a pretty & subtle citrus that doesn’t read like a lemon bomb. I think the star of the show is the musk note. It’s so beautiful.

I truly enjoy this scent but I can comfortably say that I don’t need a full bottle, even with only trying 004 on a paper test strip.

Like relaxing under a tree in a spring morning, wearing a white linen shirt and enjoying the simple things in life.

A pleasantly rounded scent in which ginger meets juniper. Underneath lies a sweet, spicy softness. Leans a bit to masculine but still unisex

Moderately sour citrus notes, spicy green juniper-nutmeg mix, earthy moderately sweet base. Overall quite classic and pleasant.
