GRIS CHARNEL EDP

Gris Charnel EDP by BDK Parfums is a woody spicy eau de parfum, created by perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui and launched in 2019. A unisex fragrance that tells the story of urban Parisian sensuality, in a thousand shades of grey.

The Fragrance

Gris Charnel was born as an urban elixir of sensuality: BDK Parfums imagines it as a stroll under the silver moon along the quays of the Seine, alone or in company, in a portrait of carnal, seductive grey.

How It Evolves on Skin

Gris Charnel EDP opens with a soft accord of fig, black tea and cardamom essence, slightly milky and spicy. The heart reveals bourbon vetiver and iris absolute, for a powdery, velvety core. The base warms with sandalwood and tonka bean absolute, for a warm, sophisticated, sensual close.

Who We Recommend Gris Charnel EDP To

We recommend Gris Charnel EDP to anyone who loves woody spicy fragrances but is looking for a softer, more powdery touch, never overwhelming. It's perfect for those seeking an elegant unisex scent, equally suited to day and evening.
