Scent Family: Woody Spicy · Amber · Powdery
BDK Parfums Gris Charnel Extrait is a deeper, richer interpretation of the signature Gris Charnel character, bringing together aromatic spice, creamy woods, and warm vanilla in an intensely sophisticated composition. It opens with cardamom, fig, and black tea, creating a distinctive contrast of fresh spice, smooth fruit, and subtly smoky tea. As it develops, iris lends a refined powdery texture while Bourbon vetiver and cistus add earthy, resinous depth. In the dry down, sandalwood is enveloped by Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean, grounded by cedar and Indonesian patchouli leaf for a warm, textured finish. Gris Charnel Extrait is enveloping and sensual, with a polished woody character that feels both intimate and commanding.
