Perfumer for 801: Karine Dubreuil-Sereni.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon after a swim, salt still on the skin and a cotton shirt pulled over it. The citrus and rosemary bring alertness, while the dry, driftwood-like finish keeps the mood relaxed rather than sporty—a restrained presence suited to close conversation.
How to wear
A natural choice for spring and summer, when citrus, herbs and salt feel especially well placed. Start with two or three sprays on skin; in hot weather, use less to keep the marine impression light. Let it settle before adding more, allowing the dry woody base to balance the opening freshness.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy transparent aquatic fragrances with aromatic definition and a dry woody finish. It suits a preference for salty citrus and rosemary over sweet tropical effects, with enough cypress and cedar to give the freshness structure.
Release year
2016–2017, renamed 2026
The nose
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni is a French perfumer whose work includes Gucci Envy Me and Lanvin Éclat d’Arpège. Her repertoire spans luminous floral compositions and crisp, accessible freshness. For 801 Blu Palermo, she brings citrus, aromatic herbs and dry woods into a marine composition, with The Great Wave off Kanagawa as an artistic reference.
Collaborators
Founder Ludovic Bonneton helped shape the creative vision, seeking the sensation of being lost at sea. His maritime brief complements Dubreuil-Sereni’s interpretation of waves, wind and the calm that follows a storm.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur translates memories, emotions and travel into contemporary perfumes made in France. Its numbered, color-coded system makes fragrance families easy to navigate, while highlighted ingredients offer a direct introduction to each composition rather than an elaborate vocabulary of luxury.
801 Blu Palermo’s concept
The brand’s creative narrative imagines a Sicilian cruise with friends: salt spray, wind, a sudden storm and the calm afterwards. Dubreuil-Sereni also drew on The Great Wave off Kanagawa, translating its maritime imagery into the contrast between bright citrus, sea spray and dry woods.
Extra info
Blu Palermo retains the original 801 code within Bon Parfumeur’s system, where numbers identify fragrance family and sequence. The three highlighted materials—grapefruit, sea spray and cedar—are a shorthand for a fuller composition that also includes mandarin, rosemary, cypress and white musk.
