303 MARBRE ROUGE

303 Marbre Rouge is a unisex extrait de parfum by Bon Parfumeur, the Parisian house of Ludovic Bonneton, and part of the Les Extraits collection. It is a warm, luminous spicy amber that plays on the contrast between freshness and warmth.

The Fragrance

The inspiration is a full-moon night in the gardens of the Taj Mahal: the vegetation gives off warmth, the moon shines and the marble palace lights up. Ludovic Bonneton wanted to tell the wonder of the meeting between the cold marble and the garden around it, bringing the flowers inside its walls. The starting idea was a fragrance inspired by marble, and the Taj Mahal became the anchor point of the whole composition. The first digit of the number indicates the olfactory family: 3 stands for ambers and spices. It is signed by Sidonie Lancesseur, a perfumer who loves short formulas built on a few carefully chosen raw materials.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is lively and sparkling thanks to a spicy trio: cardamom, pink berries and chili berries light up the skin with a pungent freshness. In the heart patchouli, with its undergrowth and cocoa facets, wraps itself in the softness of Tolu balsam and the sunniness of ylang-ylang. The base is a warm, deep embrace: benzoin, amber woods, vetiver and musk leave a balsamic, long-lasting trail.

Who We Recommend 303 Marbre Rouge To

We recommend 303 Marbre Rouge to those who love spicy, ambery perfumes but are looking for something brighter and lighter than usual. It is perfect in the cold seasons, for evenings, a date or an important occasion, yet elegant enough to accompany office days too. Unisex, it suits him and her.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Marbre Rouge is proof that a warm perfume can also be fresh: at the first spray it surprises with its liveliness, then it slowly warms up until it becomes almost a second skin. It is one of the Bon Parfumeur scents we most gladly hand to anyone asking us for something enveloping but different.
