BONTEMPS-LE GRAND SAUT Eau de parfum 躍然淡香精

Le Grand Saut is a fragrance inspired by courage.

Courage does not need breathtaking scenery, endless horizons, or grand gestures to be extraordinary. The most everyday forms of courage can, in fact, be the most remarkable—because they contain one essential element: the magic of taking the first step.

Dress in your finest, wrapped in a lighthearted sense of joy; wear a smile on your lips and a playful spark in your eyes. Then, with a mochaccino in hand, set off elegantly on the boldest of adventures, carrying just the right amount of comfort and character. How the story ends is yours to write.

This fragrance was composed around ingredients in pairs, because taking the leap always feels a little easier with good company by your side.

To express elegance, the fragrance begins with a clean and direct woody structure built around Haitian vetiver essential oil—one of the most elegant woods in a perfumer’s palette. Understated yet memorable, it possesses a distinctive character of its own. French clary sage absolute adds aromatic depth with delicate cocoa facets, while upcycled Guatemalan cardamom extract brings a fresh, spicy vibrancy and a lively sense of strength.

To express courage, inspiration comes from the cup of coffee enjoyed each morning before setting out on a new adventure. Colombian coffee extract delivers an intense, deeply roasted and slightly dark character, while Ivory Coast cocoa extract adds just the right touch of bitterness and depth, giving the composition greater personality and energy.

To keep this leap into the unknown comfortably grounded, a soft and enveloping accord is added: the “milk foam” essential to a proper mochaccino. Milky, buttery notes evoke a delicate, velvety froth, deepened by Madagascar vanilla extract and Southeast Asian benzoin resin for added warmth and softness.

A fragrance devoted to courage—for daring to take that first step and make the leap.

PERFUMER｜FLORIAN GALLO

The fragrances of Bontemps Paris are created by the brand’s co-founder and perfumer, Florian Gallo. A perfumer at dsm-firmenich, Gallo has helped shape Bontemps’ distinctive olfactory language, drawing on emotions and everyday experiences to translate feelings that are difficult to put into words into scent.

The debut collection, Les Joies et Les Peines, explores the joys and sorrows of life through three emotions—nostalgia, tenderness, and courage—expressed respectively through Amoureux du Temps, Bonjour Tendresse, and Le Grand Saut.

In Gallo’s work, natural ingredients meet contemporary aroma molecules, including materials derived from recycled and sustainable sources, balancing emotional storytelling with precise formulation. For Bontemps, perfumery is more than the composition of aromatic materials; it is another language through which memories, emotions, and moments of everyday life can be made tangible.

BONTEMPS PARIS｜Sharing the time of perfume, conveying the scent of time.

Founded in Paris in 2023, Bontemps Paris is an independent brand devoted to perfume culture, existing between a fragrance media platform and a house of fine fragrance.

Guided by the idea of “sharing the time of perfume and conveying the scent of time,” Bontemps explores the materials, craftsmanship, creators and emotions behind perfumery through words, imagery and scent, gradually transforming its olfactory narratives into fragrances of its own.

Bontemps believes that perfume is another language. Rather than defining scent solely through notes and ingredients, the brand approaches fragrance through life, memory and emotion—giving expression to feelings that words alone cannot always capture.

Its fragrances are conceived and formulated in Paris and crafted in Grasse, drawing inspiration from the emotions and poetry of everyday life. For Bontemps, a perfume does not end within the bottle; it truly begins to exist when it is experienced, worn and shared.

Guided by the philosophy “Produce with reason, create with emotion,” Bontemps brings together sensitivity and creativity with craftsmanship, quality, responsibility and sustainability.

Preserving time through perfume, and giving scent to emotions beyond words.
