BDK Parfums
Gris Charnel
About
A spicy tea-woody scent where cardamom, fig, and black tea lead the opening. Powdery iris and dry bourbon vetiver shape the heart, while creamy sandalwood and warm tonka bean settle in the base. It stays close to the skin and feels calm, composed, and intimate.
Gris Charnel opens with dry cardamom and the soft, slightly milky flesh of fig, quickly covered by the dark infusion of black tea. After a few minutes, the scent turns smoother: iris creates a powdery haze, while bourbon vetiver adds a dry woody edge. In the base, sandalwood rounds the structure into a creamy, skin-like texture, and tonka bean leaves a warm, faintly nutty trail. Projection stays close to the skin and reads clearly in personal space, without harsh pressure. In mood, this is a calm, composed fragrance for cool days, office hours, evening walks, and intimate meetings. It suits anyone who enjoys spicy tea-woody compositions with a soft, velvety dry trail.
