Uplifting Citrus Chypre Freshness: Naughton & Wilson Bon Viveur Eau de Parfum
Celebrate life's pleasures with vibrant citrus zest fused with aromatic herbs and a twist of British gin, blooming into spicy clove-pepper warmth, settling into luxurious Haitian vetiver-cedar oakmoss chypre base in Naughton & Wilson Bon Viveur Eau de Parfum, launched in 2021 as a joyful signature from the British house (masculine, citrus chypre aromatic, invigorating appeal)—expertly composed by John Stephen to blend uplifting citrus-herbal freshness with gin sophistication and refined woody depth. Widely praised as a clean, sophisticated freshie with prominent lime-lemon citrus brightness, British gin's botanical tang, and Haitian vetiver's earthy crispness, it's often hailed as a versatile gem—merging sparkling citrus lift with herbal-spicy heart and classic chypre grounding, addictive joie de vivre, and strong performance in a contemporary, gentlemanly composition.
This energizing scent opens with a bright, citrusy explosion of lime, lemon, orange, mandarin, lemongrass, and bay leaf for an immediate, invigorating lift that's fresh and zesty, then transitions into a heart of British gin, clove, pepper, and watermelon for botanical-spicy layers that feel sophisticated and intriguing, finally grounding in a base of oakmoss, Haitian vetiver, cedar, and patchouli for earthy, woody chypre depth with lingering, masculine allure. It’s citrusy yet herbal, fresh yet spicy, bright yet grounded—like sparkling lime-lemon sorbet laced with British gin botanicals over clove-pepper spice, anchored in vetiver-cedar oakmoss that lingers as a confident, uplifting aura of refined enjoyment.
It bursts with lime-lemon-mandarin—zesty, citrusy, and strikingly vibrant with fresh lift. The heart reveals British gin and clove, crafting a botanical-spicy core that’s balanced, aromatic, and captivating. It dries down to a crisp, lingering vetiver-oakmoss embrace—earthy, woody, and subtly grounding—creating an enduring, masculine trail that’s clean, versatile, and endlessly invigorating.

Frequently celebrated as a highlight in the Naughton & Wilson lineup—citrus-herbal dominant opening, British gin-clove spicy signature, vetiver-oakmoss chypre anchor, with a strikingly fresh yet polished vibe—Bon Viveur unites a zesty citrus burst, botanical heart, and classic woody base (often praised as a "gin tonic glow," uplifting yet refined, with citrus lift and herbal depth). It’s a versatile all-season performer (ideal for spring/summer daytime energy or year-round confidence, perfect from casual outings to sophisticated occasions) that draws compliments for its distinctive projection, clean sillage, and irresistible masculine charisma.
Performance excels as an Eau de Parfum: 8-10+ hours longevity (evolves beautifully from citrus burst to vetiver-oakmoss finish), moderate to strong projection (generous yet controlled trail), and impressive staying power for its category—transitioning seamlessly into a lingering fresh embrace. Fragrance lovers rave about its premium-quality composition, masterful citrus-herbal synergy, and effortless luxury, though a few note its bold gin botanical—perfect for anyone seeking elevated fresh scents with citrus brightness and chypre depth.
