Description
Gris Charnel Extrait is a richer, more intense take on the original Gris Charnel, concentrated at 30%.

Voluptuous vanilla adds an ambered, smoky roundness, creating a deep, multifaceted, and opulent trail.

Additional Information
Gris Charnel Extrait is part of the Collection Parisienne — inspired by Paris, the birthplace of BDK Parfums, where memory and imagination guide each creation. This collection tells stories of the city’s districts, capturing its energy, vibrancy, and the many personalities that bring it to life.
Mood: Artistic & Niche / Night & Seduction. Concentrated at a potent 30%, this Extrait defines the Niche category. It transforms the original scent with a "richer, more intense" application of Iris, Vetiver, and Cistus, offering a deep, multifaceted signature. The addition of "voluptuous vanilla" and a smoky, ambered roundness creates an opulent, irresistible trail. It’s a sophisticated elixir designed for captivating evening encounters.
Occasion: Special Occasions / Date Night. The vibrant opening of Cardamom and Fig, leading into a powerful woody base, provides the sophisticated depth required for high-profile events where you want an opulent, lasting impression. The warm embrace of Sandalwood, Tonka, and Vanilla creates a comforting yet deeply sensual aura, perfectly balanced for intimate settings.
Strength & Projection: High Projection / Beast Mode. Engineered for "Commanding Presence," the vibrant cardamom and intense patchouli ensure a powerful and highly complimented aura that fills a space with sophistication. This 30% concentration offers legendary performance. The robust base of woods, vanilla absolute, and tonka anchors the scent for 12+ hours, maintaining intensity throughout the night and into the next morning.

The Connoisseur’s Comparison: "For those who admire the powerful, spicy-woody DNA of Tom Ford’s Santal Blush or the deep, fig-centric sophistication of Diptyque’s Philosykos (in Extrait form), Gris Charnel Extrait offers a more 'smoky and urban' alternative. It takes that iconic sandalwood structure and refines it with an intense, ambered vanilla, resulting in a fragrance that feels richer, more powerful, and arguably more sensual than its contemporaries."

Perfumer: Mathilde Bijaoui
"I have a special bond with Gris Charnel. It embodies for me the quintessential creamy and enveloping notes that I enjoy and love to work with. People often ask me what perfume I would create for myself. Well, in the end, it would undoubtedly be Gris Charnel. Revisiting a perfume that has already found its audience is much more challenging than starting from a blank page. With this second chapter, I aimed to magnify the sensuality of the original Gris Charnel signature, sculpting a trail that is even more magnetic and captivating than ever"
