Gris Charnel Extrait is the version concentrated at 30% that Mathilde Bijaoui composed in 2022 for BDK Parfums, a second chapter of her 2019 eau de parfum. This ambery woody keeps the fig, black tea and cardamom, the iris and vetiver, and adds cistus, patchouli, vanilla and cedar to the sandalwood and tonka bean.
Concentrated at 30%, the extrait reveals, according to the house, a richer and more multifaceted version of the original signature, woody and ambery. The top brings together cardamom, black tea and a fig accord; the heart, iris, cistus and vetiver.
Cardamom and fig
In the top, the house pairs the vibrant freshness of cardamom essence with the delicacy of a fig with green, fruity accents, alongside a black tea extract. This luminous opening lights up, in its words, the opulent character of the fragrance.
Iris and cistus
Moroccan iris absolute, cistus essence and Bourbon vetiver from Madagascar make up the heart. Like patchouli, vanilla and cedar, cistus was missing from the notes of the 2019 eau de parfum; the house adds them to this version.
Patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood
In the base, the house places an Indonesian patchouli essence, a Madagascan vanilla absolute, sandalwood and United States cedar essences and a Brazilian tonka bean absolute. Patchouli deepens the sandalwood and tonka bean, which vanilla rounds out with an ambery, smoky warmth.
