House of Bō Bombon Parfum

What it smells like

Bombon is a joyful gourmand — a sweet, playful treat. It opens with dewy lily of the valley, juicy lychee and a glint of saffron.

The heart is pure confectionery bliss: buttery caramel and pillowy marshmallow lifted by bergamot and spicy pink pepper. The base gives it a grown-up warmth, with boozy cognac, salty-warm ambergris and smoky birch. It is a delicious, candy-sweet gourmand kept sophisticated by its resinous, slightly smoky base.

The full composition runs from top notes of Lily-of-the-Valley, Lychee, Saffron, through a heart of Caramel, Marshmallow, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, to a base of Cognac, Ambergris, Birch — a gourmand built to unfold slowly and wear close to the skin. The parfum is housed in House of Bō's signature bottle, finished with a hand-cut, semi-precious stone cap chosen to mirror the mood of the scent.

On skin its principal accords — Gourmand, Sweet, Caramel, Fruity and Amber — layer into a rounded, characterful whole, and as a parfum-strength concentration it is built for rich projection and long wear. It is offered here in both a 40 ml and a larger 75 ml bottle.

Who made it

This parfum was composed by Honorine Blanc, an acclaimed French perfumer and senior perfumer at Firmenich, based in the United States. Trained in the French tradition, she has created for many major houses and is best known for Lancôme Idôle and her work on Prada Luna Rossa Carbon — creations noted for their polished modernity and luminous character. Her signature balances elegant florals and gourmand richness with clean, contemporary structures and a keen sense of texture, favouring quality materials and wearable sophistication over loud, obvious effects.

For House of Bō, Honorine shaped Bombon as a bold, artistic parfum that translates this pedigree into the house's tropical, Latin-inflected style.

Who it’s for

For lovers of sweet, playful gourmands who still want a little sophistication. Largely unisex and crowd-pleasing.

It suits those who love warm, sweet scents with real depth and a grown-up edge rather than simple sugar, and it wears comfortably on anyone; fully unisex.

When to wear it

An autumn and winter, day-into-evening scent — its caramel, marshmallow and cognac feel most delicious in cooler weather.

It comes into its own in autumn and winter and after dark, its warmth richest in cool weather and on evenings out, date nights and intimate dinners.
