100 Bon
I knew we had to go back to the essentials: the perfume rather than the bottles, the community rather than marketing, zero waste rather than overconsumption
Christopher Bombana
It was many months after our moving to Lyon that, on my way to Boulangerie Maison Terrason, I finally stopped by the almost next-door shop 100Bon, as a name tonka caught my eye in the display outside where you can spray some of the perfume to try it. I did. And I fell in love.
With two sprays on my arm, I left it, entering the boulangerie next, to return to the shop seven minutes later, as I needed to enter the world so tempting yet unknown to me. I did not buy anything that day, yet I scented almost everything. I returned later to purchase perfume for myself, my friends, my home, and everyone I knew.
But it was not just the perfume I liked. It was also their idea behind how they create the aromas, which is to present us with perfumes that are so beautiful, powerful and natural at the same time. Crafted by the former nose of Hermes perfumes, now the father of 100Bon, located in Lyon, created in France.
"I knew we had to go back to the essentials: the perfume rather than the bottles, the community rather than marketing, zero waste rather than overconsumption." Christopher Bombana. And he did go and in the most beautiful way possible, which you notice when entering the small and very stylish shop in Lyon, or shopping online too, of course.
"It's very simple at 100BON; we are 100% made in France, 100% rechargeable, 100% recyclable and 100% accessible. We claim products that are 99.91% natural. We will always prefer to dream in nature than in front of the face of a famous muse. We pick from nature the best active ingredients and concentrate them in new olfactory routines, which embellish every moment of life. By putting the benefits of essential oils at the heart of our aromachology formulas, we create products that are good for the body, as well as the mind!"
Sold as eaux de cologne, eaux de toilette, eaux de perfume, hand soap or scented home fragrance, these aromas created by Christopher Bombana or someone cooperating with him are sublime, inviting, full of emotions, sensuality and temptation. So poweful that they are almost impossible to resist. From fresh to deep and wintery, they nearly change the way you think about the beauty of aroma.
