Fleur de Bonbon by Organ Tale: Woven from French and Korean Threads
© Sigurd Magnor Killerud
There is a moment when scent transcends mere fragrance, becoming an experience, a memory in the making. Fleur de Bonbon by Organ Tale is precisely that—a walk through a sun-drenched garden, a touch of silk on damp skin, a bite of ripe fruit that melts into a lingering sweetness. It is a perfume that tells a story, a confectionery dream woven into a sophisticated embrace.
A Vision of Scent and Storytelling
Shim Ilhwa, the founder of Organ Tale, believes that perfume is more than just an accessory—it is a narrative, a personal journey woven into scent. With a background in high-end fragrance distribution, he was drawn to the intricate world of perfumery and sought to create olfactory compositions that tell a tale. "Organ" in Organ Tale represents both the olfactory organ and the traditional perfume organ, the place where notes are meticulously blended to create something truly unique. Fleur de Bonbon is a testament to this philosophy, capturing the magic of nature and memory in a bottle.
The Memory of a Mother's Embrace
Do you remember your mother’s scent? Most of us do. The founder of Organ Tale, Shim Ilhwa, recalls the comforting embrace of his mother, scented with vintage French perfumes gifted by her colleagues. That warmth, that familiarity, inspired his journey into perfumery. Fragrance, after all, is one of the strongest ties to memory.
Fleur de Bonbon, is a perfume that carries emotions, evoking the softness of childhood nostalgia and the elegance of a time past.

A Symphony of Fruity Sweetness
Bertrand Duchaufour, the legendary nose behind this extrait de parfum, has conjured a scent that is both playful and refined. Inspired by a pink fruit that effortlessly pairs with peonies, it evokes a world where sweetness is elevated to an art form. The opening dazzles with crystalline clarity—waterfruits, orange, and lemon merge into a refreshing cascade, reminiscent of fresh juice trickling down your fingers on a warm afternoon. This is a gourmand scent, but not in the conventional sense; it is a fragrance of sophistication, where brightness and transparency reign supreme.
A Dance of Flowers and Silk
As the scent evolves, a bouquet of jasmine and geranium unfolds, laced with the delicate juiciness of lychee. These notes are not heavy or overwhelming but glide over the skin like a sheer fabric, weightless and ethereal. This phase of Fleur de Bonbon conjures images of floral gardens after a gentle rain, where petals are still damp and glisten under soft light. The contrast between fruity zest and airy florals gives the perfume a vibrancy, a liveliness that refuses to settle into mere sweetness.

A Lush and Unexpected Finish
Then comes the dry down—a base that defies expectations. Where many sweet perfumes might descend into heavy vanillas or thick ambers, Fleur de Bonbon takes a different path. The combination of rice, iris, and saffron jam creates a smooth yet slightly powdery effect, akin to the warmth of sun-kissed skin. This is where the perfume lingers, an intimate memory rather than a bold statement, a trace of something delicious yet elusive. It is a sweetness that does not scream but rather hums, an elegant whisper of indulgence.
A Scent That Inspires ArtA perfume like Fleur de Bonbon does not simply adorn the skin; it sparks creativity. The moment it touches your senses, it invites you to translate its essence into something tangible. Perhaps it becomes the inspiration for a delicate sketch—an idea for a tattoo drawn on the back of your notebook. Maybe it shapes the design of your next phone case, a swirling mix of pastel hues and golden accents. Or it finds itself in the details of a handwritten letter, embellishing the envelope you send to someone you cherish. Like all great fragrances, it is more than just a scent—it is a muse..
