Character and history of the fragrance
100BON Patchouli & Cachemire is a unisex eau de parfum launched in 2025 by the French brand 100BON.
The composition belongs to the amber and woody fragrance families and is aimed at those who enjoy warm, rich and expressive scents with a soft gourmand touch.
Founded in 2017 by Nicolas and Raphaël Hervé, 100BON builds its fragrance philosophy around the idea of purity and a more conscious approach to niche perfumery.
Patchouli & Cachemire continues this aesthetic by combining the natural depth of woody accords with a comforting powdery-sweet texture.
The fragrance pyramid and development
The scent opens with almond, geranium and powdery notes. The opening is gentle, slightly creamy and delicately floral, without any sharp freshness or sparkling citrus brightness.
Amber, benzoin, cocoa and rose emerge at the heart.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes warmer and denser: resinous nuances intertwine with velvety cocoa, rosy softness and a subtle sweet accent.
The composition’s main character is defined by patchouli — deep, earthy and woody, yet not overly austere.
In the base, patchouli is supported by sandalwood, vanilla, Virginia cedar and musk. This gives the dry-down a smooth, warm and enveloping quality, while the woody foundation takes on a cashmere-like softness.
Cocoa does not turn the fragrance into a dessert-like scent; instead, it adds a dark, velvety accent to the composition.
Sillage and wearability
According to the database, Patchouli & Cachemire has a very strong sillage.
This is a noticeable and long-lasting fragrance with confident projection, making it especially well suited to cool weather, evening outings, intimate gatherings and occasions when you want to leave a distinctive fragrant impression behind.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and develops equally naturally on both women’s and men’s skin. On some skin, vanilla, amber and cocoa will stand out more; on others, dry patchouli, cedar and musk will take the lead.
Because of its rich character, it is best to test the composition on skin and start with a small amount, gradually finding the most comfortable dosage.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s collection
The composition was created by perfumer Karine Vinchon-Spehner.
Her work is built around contrast: a dense woody-amber base is softened by powdery, floral and gourmand nuances, so the fragrance feels both distinctive and comfortable.
Patchouli & Cachemire shows how 100BON interprets niche perfumery without excessive aloofness.
This is an expressive woody-amber release with a warm character, ideal for fans of patchouli, soft resinous accords and fragrances with noticeable sillage.
