Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum

About This Fragrance

Gris Charnel is one of BDK Parfums' signature fragrances, often described through the color grey: soft, sensual, urban, and slightly mysterious. It blends tea, fig, powder, woods, and warmth into a polished Parisian mood.

Scent Profile

Cardamom, fig, and black tea create a smooth spicy opening. Iris absolute and Bourbon vetiver bring a powdery contrast, like white and black shading into grey. Indian sandalwood and tonka bean absolute form a creamy, warm, quietly sensual base.

Who It's For & When to Wear It

Best in autumn and winter, cloudy weather, evening walks, and understated dress. It suits people who want a fragrance that feels soft, textured, intimate, and elegant without being fragile.
