You’re being followed by a myrrh shadow. A shadow that traces your outline, then embellishes with enigmatic depth. This intriguing extrait de parfum flirts with myrrh’s dark charm, tickling its dusty delights with peppery cedarwood, spicy akigalawood and earthy patchouli. The zesty sparkle of bitter citrus succumbs to an enveloping cloud of benzoin and musk as the shadow lengthens, leaving behind an echo of the fascinating person everyone longs to meet again soon.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening conversation that stretches long after the room has quietened: 403’s dusty myrrh and peppery woods give the wearer a composed, substantial presence. Its balsamic sweetness softens the darker edges without turning the mood playful.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the bitter citrus opening to settle before adding more. Cool weather should suit its dense resin-and-wood profile; in warm rooms, a lighter application keeps the benzoin sweetness and spicy woods from becoming overwhelming.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy substantial woody ambers, resinous sweetness and a dry, peppery edge. Myrrh, patchouli and Akigalawood give it darker texture than a straightforward vanilla fragrance, making it especially appealing to tastes that favor depth over brightness.

The nose
Quentin Bisch and Amélie Jacquin created 403 Myrrh Shadow together at Givaudan. Bisch is known for expressive compositions with distinctive textures and strong contrasts, including Delina for Parfums de Marly and Ganymede for Marc-Antoine Barrois. Here, the pair reinterpret amber through textured woods, vibrant spices and balsamic resins; their individual contributions to the formula have not been detailed.
Collaborators
Founder Ludovic Bonneton supplied the fragrance’s imaginative starting point: memories of childhood tales and the world of One Thousand and One Nights. This nostalgic imagery shaped the concept developed by Quentin Bisch and Amélie Jacquin.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur makes contemporary perfumery approachable through numbered fragrances, color-coded families and labels highlighting three ingredients. The French house treats scent as a way to preserve emotions and memories, while its Mix & Match approach encourages wearers to combine fragrances rather than follow a fixed signature.
403 Myrrh Shadow’s concept
403 Myrrh Shadow draws on Bonneton’s memories of childhood storytelling, using One Thousand and One Nights as a bridge between nostalgia and fantasy. Its modern amber composition translates that imagery into contrasts: bright bitter citrus against dusty myrrh, textured woods and the enveloping sweetness of benzoin and vanilla.
Extra info
The three ingredients featured on its official label are Timut pepper, myrrh and benzoin. Despite its woody character, the house places 403 in its vanilla family. The number is a classification code: the first digit identifies the family, while the final two indicate its sequence within that family.
