All about this fragrance

Vibe check

The cards are still on the table, and nobody is in a hurry to leave. Brandy-like sweetness, cinnamon and tobacco suit that close, unhurried atmosphere: a fragrance with warmth and a little tension, best appreciated within conversation distance.

How to wear

Its boozy sweetness and resinous tobacco character make it a natural choice for cool weather. Start with one or two sprays on the chest or wrists to keep the richness measured; in warmer conditions, apply lightly beneath clothing for a more contained presence.

Who it’s for

For those drawn to spirits-inspired fragrances, dried-fruit richness and tobacco softened by warm resins. It suits a taste for woody, leathery compositions with some sweetness, rather than crisp freshness or overtly sugary gourmand effects.

The nose

Karine Dubreuil-Sereni composed 902. Her portfolio includes Éclat d’Arpège for Lanvin and Envy Me for Gucci, reflecting a range that extends from luminous floral compositions to richer, more textured work. Here, she balances the warmth of brandy and spices with blond tobacco and resinous labdanum.

Collaborators

Bon Parfumeur founder Ludovic Bonneton supplied the creative inspiration and visual brief, drawing on a poker game with friends. He brought an image of Caravaggio’s The Cheaters to Karine Dubreuil-Sereni as a reference for the fragrance’s atmosphere.

Bon Parfumeur’s story

Bon Parfumeur translates memories, emotions and travel into contemporary French perfumery. Its numbered fragrances, color-coded families and three highlighted ingredients make the collection approachable, while its Mix & Match philosophy encourages wearers to experiment with layering.

902 Hazy Spice’s concept

902 began with Bonneton’s memory of a poker game: tension around the table, tobacco in the air and an imagined swirl of spices. Caravaggio’s The Cheaters provided a visual reference, giving the composition a setting of close company, calculated gestures and smoky warmth.

Extra info

The older name highlighted Armagnac, blond tobacco and cinnamon; the current presentation highlights Armagnac, blond tobacco and labdanum. Cinnamon remains in the heart notes, so the change in emphasis does not itself establish a reformulation.
