Gris Charnel

Eau de Parfum

« At the heart, the powdery clarity of Iris absolute defies the shadowy cistus essential oil. This play of light is balanced by a chiaroscuro trail born of sandalwood essential oil, blended with bourbon vetiver and tonka bean absolute. »

Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums, eau de parfum

The story of Gris Charnel

Gris Charnel is an eau de parfum by BDK Parfums, a Parisian house. Like a black-and-white photograph, it sets luminous and dark notes against each other in a hushed oriental woody.

The top weds the milky softness of fig to a sparkling, elegant cardamom, contrasted by the power of black tea.

The heart sets the powdery clarity of iris against a bourbon vetiver, before a base of sandalwood and tonka bean — carnal and enveloping.

Gris Charnel balances shadow and light in a chiaroscuro trail, sensual and refined.
