BDK Parfums Perfumes.

BDK Parfums is an independent Paris house founded in 2016 by David Benedek; the house has quickly moved into the "modern niche must-know" tier on the strength of Gris Charnel and Rouge Smoking. Scendira lists 41 BDK fragrances with 22 in stock, priced $60 to $325. The catalogue leans gourmand-unisex on average, with fig-tea, cherry-almond, vanilla-leather and creamy-woody-spiced as the recurring signatures. Community top five in stock: Gris Charnel Extrait (fig-black tea-vetiver-vanilla, 2022), Gris Charnel (fig-tea-vetiver-sandalwood, 2019), Rouge Smoking Extrait (cherry-almond-tonka-vanilla, 2024), Vanille Leather (violet-tuberose-vanilla-leather, 2023) and Rouge Smoking (cherry-vanilla-tonka, 2018). Gris Charnel is the house's flagship, a creamy fig-tea-sandalwood that community consistently rates in the top tier of modern niche. Rouge Smoking (and its Extrait) has become the reference for "boozy cherry-almond gourmand" over the last three years.

Questions about this brand.

Gris Charnel (2019 EDP, 2022 Extrait), the house flagship. Rouge Smoking is a close second.

Creamy black fig-tea, iris and vetiver in the heart, sandalwood and vanilla-tonka bean in the base. Warm, creamy, cozy-woody.

For both Gris Charnel and Rouge Smoking, community rates the Extraits higher for depth. The EDPs project more; the Extraits are denser and last longer.

Cherry, pink pepper and Italian bergamot up top; vanilla and heliotrope in the heart; tonka bean and cashmeran in the base. A boozy cherry-almond dessert.
