All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A freshly pressed cotton shirt, sleeves rolled back, and a quiet afternoon spent within conversational distance. The tart yuzu and leafy greenness suggest the brisk finish of a barber’s tonic, while dry vetiver keeps the mood composed rather than sporty.
How to wear
Reach for it in spring or warm weather, when its citrus and green-leaf character suits lighter clothing. Start with two sprays on the neck and upper chest: exposed skin gives the yuzu room to lift, while a covered application keeps the woody-musky side closer. Apply lightly in strong heat.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy traditional citrus colognes but prefer a greener, woodier interpretation. It suits a taste for tart rather than sweet freshness, violet leaf rather than powdery violet, and restrained floral accents over a dry vetiver foundation.

The nose
Carla Chabert is credited by Bon Parfumeur as the perfumer of 003 French Yuzu. Her approach here balances the immediate brightness of citrus with green, woody and musky facets, giving the familiar cologne structure a softer, more enveloping contemporary character.
Collaborators
Founder Ludovic Bonneton contributed the fragrance’s nostalgic creative reference: a cologne connected to his childhood memories. This emotional starting point frames Chabert’s contemporary interpretation of the traditional citrus tonic.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur approaches fragrance as a record of emotions, journeys and memories, combining French craftsmanship with contemporary interpretations of traditional perfumery. Its numbers, olfactory-family colors and ingredient-led language make the collection easier to navigate; newer evocative names add another layer without replacing the numerical identities.
003 French Yuzu’s concept
003 began as a nostalgic cologne inspired by Ludovic Bonneton’s childhood memories. Its tonic-like character recalls old-fashioned barber and apothecary preparations, while Chabert’s balance of citrus, green leaves, woods and musks gives that familiar freshness a more enveloping eau de parfum form.
Extra info
The violet note comes from the leaf, not the flower: its character is green, slightly cucumber-like and reminiscent of undergrowth rather than powder. The fragrance is made in France. Although conceived in a cologne style, it is an eau de parfum.
