All about this fragrance

Vibe check

This is the scent of close conversation in a quiet, sunlit room after rain has lifted from the windows. It stays composed and intimate, with a clean floral transparency that reads as calm, modern and slightly tactile rather than overtly sweet.

How to wear

Best in mild weather and warm spring days, 802 wears lightly and clearly rather than loudly. A few sprays are enough to keep its airy florals and musks close to the skin; in humidity it becomes softer and more suede-like, while cooler air preserves its green, watery lift.

Who it’s for

For wearers who like transparent florals, soft musks and an understated aquatic profile with a refined, slightly tactile edge. It will appeal to those who prefer freshness with texture over sharp citrus or overt sweetness.

The nose

Jacques Chabert. A respected French perfumer, Chabert is associated with elegant, finely structured compositions and a classical Grasse sensibility. Here he shapes 802 as a restrained aquatic floral, where freshness, musks and a suede-like softness are balanced with unusual precision. Within Bon Parfumeur, he played an early foundational role, helping establish the house’s creative language alongside founder Ludovic Bonneton. His work on 802 reflects that brief: contemporary, unisex, and built around clarity rather than ornament.

Collaborators

Ludovic Bonneton helped shape the concept and emotional direction, drawing on the meditative atmosphere of Giverny and the idea of a Japanese garden’s dew-soaked freshness. Jacques Chabert translated that brief into the fragrance structure, giving the composition its aquatic floral clarity and soft musky finish.

Bon Parfumeur’s story

Bon Parfumeur approaches perfumery as a contemporary, mix-and-match wardrobe of numbered scents, designed to be collected, layered and worn with freedom. The house favors French craftsmanship, clean formulas and a playful but disciplined artistic identity that makes niche perfumery feel open, modern and personal.

802’s concept

802 was conceived as a fresh, contemplative floral inspired by the gardens of Giverny and the calm of a Japanese landscape after rain. The composition pairs watery lotus and bamboo with peony, freesia, osmanthus and soft musks, creating a serene aquatic floral that feels polished rather than literal.
