A mist with soft orange notes that frees the mind and brings us back to balance. A beneficial essence. A touch of exoticism.
Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira
“Deeply regressive, Néroli & Petit Grain Printanier evokes the soothing cocoon of my childhood. So comforting, this fragrance reminds me of my grandmother's cookies and the skincare products I used when I was a child. Wearing this fragrance is the promise of an escape to a better world.”
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For a quiet pause after a crowded morning, when you wash your hands, change into a cotton shirt and let the pace settle. Mandarin and leafy petitgrain bring brightness, while soft neroli gives the familiar intimacy of a freshly finished care ritual.
How to wear
Well suited to spring and mild summer warmth, when its citrus-green character can feel light rather than chilly. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms for a soft, unobtrusive presence. As an Eau de Cologne with moderate lasting power, it lends itself to a light refresh later rather than a heavy initial application.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy orange blossom and leafy citrus but prefer softness to a sharply bracing cologne. Its gentle sweetness and familiar care-product associations will appeal to wearers seeking an understated, comforting fragrance rather than a dense floral or rich gourmand.

The nose
Serge de Oliveira. His work on Néroli & Petitgrain draws on the emotional familiarity of scent: memories of his grandmother’s cookies and the skincare products of his childhood. Here, bright citrus and orange blossom take on a softer, reassuring character rather than a sharply bracing one.
100BON’s story
100BON approaches perfumery through natural ingredients, French craftsmanship and creative freedom for perfumers. Founded by Christophe Bombana, the house puts the emphasis on the fragrance rather than elaborate presentation, pairing accessible pricing with simple, refillable bottles.
Neroli & Petitgrain’s concept
Created for 100BON’s original Cologne collection, Néroli & Petitgrain translates Serge de Oliveira’s childhood memories into a soft orange-scented mist. His grandmother’s cookies and familiar care products supplied the emotional reference points: a sense of comfort and return, expressed through citrus, flowers and gentle sweetness.
Extra info
The fragrance also appears under the longer name Néroli & Petit Grain Printanier. Its official pyramid places petitgrain in the base alongside vanilla, and the current product listing specifies 99% natural origin.
