Gris Charnel Extrait, BDK Parfums, Collection Parisienne

Gris Charnel Extrait is a refined, richer reinterpretation of the original—a sensual perfume with opulent depth. Imagine a misty Parisian evening, warm lanterns illuminating the cobblestones. Initially, a vibrant accord of cardamom, fig, and black tea unfolds—fresh, spicy, with a touch of green playfulness. In the heart, iridescent clarity, aromatic cistus tea, and bourbon-woody vetiver open up a powerful, nuanced mix of elegance and earthiness. In the base, rich patchouli, creamy sandalwood texture, sweet tonka bean, American cedarwood smoke, and velvety vanilla create a velvety, enveloping warmth—like a luxurious cashmere scarf by candlelight.

Ideal to wear: Particularly impressive on cool evenings, in autumn/winter or at upscale occasions when the fragrance can unfold its full depth.
