The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitebeauty L aunched in 2017, after founder Ludovic Bonneton returned to Paris from Co‑ lombia, where he lived amidst tropical scents of cocoa, coffee, and fragrant flowers, Bon Parfumeur was born from his emotions and passions. “Some people choose photos to im‑ mortalise beautiful moments, but I decided to put my trust in perfumes.” This conviction shapes the spirit of the Maison built on the resonant power of scent to hold memory, emotion, and life’s beauties. A free‑spirited Parisian creator, Bonneton is drawn to the serendipity of unexpected encounters, the poetry of long journeys, and how a single note carried on the wind can transport you across time. His love of slow travel, trains rushing toward distant horizons, and landscapes glimpsed between moments infuses every fragrance he brings into the world. Each scent begins as a dialogue between the founder and some of the world’s most gifted perfumers. These collaborations form the beating heart of the Maison, where young noses such as Paul Guerlain and Clé‑ ment Marx bring fresh, promising talent. At the same time, master perfumers like Anne Flippo, Quentin Bisch and Karine Dubreuil‑Sereni contribute decades of artistry and refinement. Since its inception, Bon Parfumeur has launched over 30 fragrances spanning citrus, floral, fruity, spicy, woody, and gourmand notes, as well as special col‑ lections including Eaux de Parfum and Extraits. This year, the brand reimagined its iconic fragrance line with the Signature Collection, curating more desir‑ able, expressive and visually distinctive scents than ever before. Launching in September 2026, the Elixir collection of 305 Bois Darshan, 503 Sultan Fire, and 604 Noir Atlas, concentrated at an extraordinary 40%, cap‑ tures a moment of intense bliss lived by Bonneton. Encased in an exclusive 50 ml golden flacon, these creations channel bold, powerful ingredients sculpt‑ ed into unforgettable memories. Crafted for true connoisseurs, the Extraits de Par‑ fum embody the essence of rare luxury, offering a depth and intensity that elevate the art of fragrance to its most opulent expression. With concentrations up to 30%, each creation delivers an unforgettable sillage that lingers on the skin with an intimate and commanding richness. The collection is presented in sculptural black‑and‑white flacons crowned with a gold cap and housed in elegant black packaging. With the instinctive elegance of perfumer Paul Guer‑ lain, citrus aromatic fragrance 005 Riviera Absolue is like an endless summer in motion, a drive along the corniche with the Mediterranean shimmering ahead. Caviar lime brings a crystalline spark, brightened by ginger and cooled by iced cardamom. Aromat‑ ic aquatic floral perfume 104 Terra Hedera, curat‑ ed by Corinne Cachen, moves like a horseback ride across the Mongolian steppe, where the prairie shifts through endless greens. Crisp galbanum meets soft hyacinth in a wild and serene contrast. As the gallop
