Intoxicating and smooth, the Damascena rose radiates throughout. A twist of pink pepper brings a touch of freshness. The velvety touch of rose petals combined with vanilla creates a luxurious veil.
Furthermore, there is a dark, green undertone from the davana herb which contrasts with the silkiness of the rose.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Settling into a velvet theatre seat as the lights dim, this rose feels dressed but not distant. Pepper and green davana keep the petals from becoming overly sweet, while vanilla lends a softness suited to the quiet exchange between two people sitting close.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or cooler autumn air, when the green rose facets and vanilla warmth can share the foreground. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing for a more intimate impression; in warmer weather, apply lightly to keep the sweet, balsamic base in balance.
Who it’s for
For rose lovers who want plush petals with a darker green edge, rather than a purely dewy floral. It suits tastes drawn to soft woods, rounded vanilla and sensual floral compositions, with enough herbal contrast to temper the sweetness.

The nose
Caroline Dumur created 106 around the rich, fruity character of Damascena rose. Her composition pairs it with a fresher upcycled rose material, then builds a vanilla-balsamic trail beneath the petals. The contrast between floral opulence and green clarity gives this rose its distinctive texture.
Collaborators
Founder Ludovic Bonneton shaped the creative starting point through his affection for the May roses in Paris’s Bagatelle gardens. His wish to capture a garden filled with sweet rose fragrance became the concept Caroline Dumur translated into 106.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur treats fragrance as a way to preserve emotions, places and memories, combining French manufacture with contemporary creative collaboration. Its numbered collection makes olfactory families easy to navigate while encouraging wearers to choose by mood and taste rather than gender.
106 Chromatic Rose’s concept
106 began with the scent of roses in the Bagatelle gardens: abundant, sweet and alive with greenery. Dumur interpreted that memory through two contrasting rose materials, davana and a vanilla-balsamic base. The current Chromatic Rose presentation adds the ballet Manon as a creative reference, framing the composition through dance and opera-house imagery.
Extra info
The upcycled rose material recovers aromatic molecules remaining in rose-distillation water, adding a fresher, greener counterpart to Damascena rose; the brand credits LMR, Laboratoire Monique Remy. The number 106 places it in Bon Parfumeur’s floral family. It originally appeared as 106 Rose Damascena, Davana, Vanille before adopting the Chromatic Rose name.
