Launched in 2018 and crafted by Dmitry Bortnikoff, it opens with the brightness of bergamot and cardamom, leading into the heart where marigold and frangipani create a floral warmth. The base is rich and enveloping, featuring ambergris, myrrh, and vanilla, grounding the composition in deep balsamic notes.
Bonheur embodies the brand's dedication to rare materials, with its use of white ambergris and other distinctive ingredients that set it apart within the niche market. It offers a distinctive olfactory experience that balances freshness and warmth, making it a versatile choice for both day and night.

Application Tips
Apply Bonheur to pulse points for best effect — its aromatic notes are prominent at first but settle into a rich base that emerges over time. The warm spices make it more suited to cooler evenings or indoor settings where the deep, enveloping base can truly shine.
