The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitebeauty stirs earth and flowers, the air fills with movement and free‑ dom, leaving an expansive, untamed trail. The woody, spicy 303 Marbre Rouge by Sidonie Lancesseur imagines a full‑moon night in the Taj Mahal gardens, where cool marble meets the enveloping warmth of benzoin. Fresh spices drift on the nocturnal breeze as flowers seem to lean toward the palace, blurring the line between nature and ar‑ chitecture. Another similar scent, 603 Cuir Sahib, created by Mylène Alran, evokes Bonneton’s morning ritual at the Gold‑ en Temple of the Sikhs. Silence fills the space as smoked in‑ cense drifts and settles within the walls, creating shifting veils of scent that capture the temple’s spiritual gravity. From the woody and spicy olfactive family, 903 Oud Ilam by Serge de Oliveira recalls an afternoon wandering Parisian antique shops, where every object holds a story. Oud, cool spices and patchouli intertwine with the same richness as the treasures on display. Its rhythm mirrors the unhurried pleas‑ ure of browsing and discovering. Other fragrances in this collection are 107 Nappa Tuberosa, 403 Myrrh Shadow, 502 Iris Cartagena, and 602 Bois Narcotique. At the core of the Maison lies a collection of 31 Eaux de Par‑ fum in 100 ml and 30 ml formats that capture fragments of life, emotions and memories. Each fragrance is built around a bold olfactory contrast, revealing multi‑faceted compositions that surprise and resonate with depth. Crafted in France with uncompromising quality and savoir‑faire, the collection is classified by olfactive families, each identified by a dedicated glass colour. From here, the Signature Collection gathers nine fragrances, beginning with the citrus aromatic 001 Cologne Première, a tender cologne shaped by bergamot, petitgrain, and orange blossom curated by perfumer Nathalie Koobus. It recalls the sweetness of a childhood morning, sunlight in a family kitch‑ en and the innocence of old‑fashioned games, echoing the scent of Bonneton’s grandmothers’ perfume. With an elegant, fresh floral and chypre character, 101 Pa- risian Bouquet by Alexandra Monet pairs freesia, rose, and musk in a dew‑kissed bouquet that evokes Bagatelle’s roses at dawn. Earth, gravel and the hush before an open‑air concert frame its chypre sweetness, a moment suspended in time. As Bonneton says, it is the sonata of a summer concert turned into perfume. The bright, fresh, fruity and floral 201 Gold September, cu‑ rated by Philippe Romano, captures an Auvergne orchard glowing with soft light. Fresh fruits and vetiver mingle with woody brightness as nashi pear leaves dance in the sun. It re‑ flects early autumn’s warmth, shifting shadows and the com‑ plicity of shared moments. With an aromatic and woody-citrus tone, 701 Eau de Cyprès by Benoist Lapouza brings elemi, rosemary, and cypress into a Camargue lunch, where aromatics breathe under gentle sunlight. A fragrant breeze carries words, scents, and emo‑ tions, echoing Bonneton’s memory of La Chassagnette, where calm and nature join the table. A new fragrance launched this year, the aromatic aquatic 801 Blu Palermo by Karine Dubreuil‑Sereni blends grapefruit, sea spray and cedar to evoke a Sicilian cruise with friends. Bracing freshness gives way to a sudden storm and the deep calm that follows, capturing Bonneton’s wish for a fragrance that carries you astray in the middle of the sea. The remain‑ ing perfumes in this collection are 301 Noces de Santal, 401 Prune Velours, 501 Praline Royale, and 601 Nuit Vétiver. Bon Parfumeur Home Collection invites fragrance to inhabit a space with the same natural ease as light, shaping atmos‑ phere through intimate and effortless scent. Comprising sev‑ en candles and two diffusers in minimalist glass vessels, it translates the Maison’s signature olfactory contrasts into the world of interiors, allowing each room to carry its expressive identity. The candle unveils its fragrance through the warmth of a flame, releasing notes that evolve softly over time, while the diffuser offers a continuous and refined presence. Included is the fresh aromatic 01 Basil, Fig, Mint candle that transports you straight to the gardens of Provence, where basil and mint bring the lively brightness of summer dishes, and the green scent of fig leaves awakens soft hints of orange. Eucalyptus drifts through the blend with a cool, camphoric breeze, while warm clove and smooth vanilla settle over the composition, adding gentle sweetness to the entire fragrance. With woody elegance, the 02 Coriander, Honey, Tobacco candle and diffuser balance sweetness with a subtle animal warmth, built around the comforting richness of honey. Ar‑ omatic coriander seeds brighten the opening, leading into a honeyed heart softened by ylang‑ylang and aniseed blossom. As it settles, the indulgence of tonka bean rises through the base, making it the perfect companion for cosy moments. The sophisticated, nature‑infused 04 Smoked Black Tea, Birch, Mugwort special candle and diffuser bring the signa‑ ture atmosphere of a designer interior. Its smoky, aromatic character opens with the subtle, enveloping notes of Lapsang Souchong black tea, immediately drawing you in. Mugwort adds a surprising vegetal freshness that lifts the blend, while birch wood grounds the scent with warm, leathery power, creating a captivating balance of refinement and raw natural depth. Floral and fresh, the 06 Rose, Yuzu, White Musk candle feels like sinking into a bath of rose petals with a Rhythm & Blues glow, offering a moment of deep, sun‑filled wellbeing. Its rose is fresh, green, and modern, awakened by spices and a zesty, lemony yuzu breeze. Musks and white woods gently envel‑ op the composition, while bright, tangy facets play against more sensual, delicately fruity notes. The remaining candles are spicy 03 Patchouli, Leather, Tonka Bean; fruity 05 Fig, Myrrh, Cedar; and aromatic 07 Tomato Leaf, Mandarin, Blackcurrant. Bon Parfumeur fragrances, candles, and diffusers are avail‑ able online on the brand website, at its flagship store in Par‑ is, and at premium lifestyle retailers such as Roullier White, Mon Pots, and The Dressing Room in the UK. www.bonparfumeur.com/en-gb
