The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, 903 Oud Ilam by Bon Parfumeur is the latest creation from perfumer Serge de Oliveira. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of saffron and Sichuan pepper, which add a fresh spicy twist to the composition. As it settles, patchouli and iris bring earthy depth, while oud and sandalwood anchor the base with rich, woody warmth. The metallic and balsamic notes create an intriguing contrast, making this fragrance both complex and captivating.
Given its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, one or two sprays are sufficient. The fragrance blooms slowly over time, so it's best applied ahead of an evening out or a day where you want a scent that evolves with you.
