BDK PARFUMS - ROUGE SMOKING EXTRAIT - La Collection Parisienne - Extrait de Parfum - Novità 2024 -

Tout à fait, séduction à la parisienne. Smoking Rouge is back, same unmistakable atmo of the most sinful Paris by night but with an upsurge of audacity and alluring sensuality. Seems to say never ever quit to flirt with life and passions.

.

Sexytudine all’ennesima. Dopo il lancio, nel 2018, Rouge Smoking di BDK Parfums ritorna con la versione in Extrait, una promessa che andava mantenuta considerando il successo ottenuto con l’originale e la schiera di estimatori che hanno captato, nei suoi accordi, il significato di connessione e dipendenza. Questo fruity oriental rimane fedelmente sul podio delle creazioni più sensuali e audacemente glam di sempre.

Il nuovo Extrait, elaborato da Amélie Bourgeois (già Naso dell’edizione originale EdP) si avvale di una concentrazione monstre al 30%, ricalca l’ispirazione sorgiva di una Parigi notturna e tentacolare, il quartiere a ‘luci rosse’ di Pigalle e l’impareggiabile smoking Saint Laurent immortalato nei memorabili scatti di Helmut Newton.

Potenziata nella nota dominante in apertura, una ciliegia carnosa con riflessi esperidati di mandarino e bergamotto, graffiata dal pepe rosa, la fragranza esalta quello slancio gourmand che le è proprio, soffice e rotondo, con assoluta di vaniglia nera, tonka e balsamo Perù.

Più strutturata, profonda, voluttuosa nel suo incedere, la scia menziona l’abbracciante abbondanza dei legni ambrati, le incandescenti sfumature di oud, patchouli, benzoino, la ricercata impronta dei muschi, in una finitura olfattiva di assoluta e quintessenziale eleganza.

Creata da Amélie Bourgeois.

BDK Parfums: Rouge Smoking Extrait la mia recensione

Ca sent bon la fleur d'oranger

La fleur d’oranger, une des matières de la parfumerie. J’adore les fragrances à la fleur d’oranger. Cela donne une note fruitée mais également tenace. Ca sent bon la fleur d’oranger La fleur d’oranger est l’une des trois fleurs les plus utilisées en parfumerie avec la rose et le jasmin. La fleur d’oranger se retrouve dans tous les parfums du moment, féminins comme masculins. Son parfum est vif,…

Akro Infuse, Rendez-Vous, Parfum D'Empire showcase and other reviews - 2024

An intriguing cup of tea from Akro, gender-bending from Rendez-Vous and several evocative gems from Parfum D'Empire

An unusual cup of tea was on offer in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, in the form of the new Akro Infuse (Olivier Cresp). In the same broadcast, I talked about the intriguing Rendez-Vous, composed by Antoine Lie, after which I presented a showcase review of a brand that doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it deserves from me, Parfum D’Empire, all of whose wares are created by its…

[dance-in-the-morning-glow]

As someone who is very much into (indie and niche) fragrance and Pirates of the Caribbean, here are my scent picks for some characters absolutely nobody asked for:

Elizabeth Swann: Juliette Has A Gun - Vanilla Vibes (Sea salt, natural vanilla absolute, orchid absolute, absolute brown musk, bezoin absolute, sandalwood, tonka bean)

This is basically just a salty vanilla perfume and I’m all here for it; it’s beachy, light and totally pre-Pirate King Elizabeth.

For more of an indie choice, I’d pick Death & Floral’s “I could never stay long enough on the shore” (sand, salty air, smoke, cold coastline). It’s been a while since I’ve smelled this one but it feels fitting. But tbh, any white floral scent would also fit CotBP Elizabeth - so maybe something like Cloon Keen’s Lá Bealtaine.

Pirate King Elizabeth would absolutely rock something challenging like Beaufort’s Terror & Magnificence (birch tar, black pepper, saffron, incense, tobacco, papyrus, haitian vetiver, myrrh, labdanum, benzoin and pebbles).

Will Turner: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - Asleep in the Deep (black plum, sea salt, opium tar accord, labdanum, and indigo benzoin)

Basically the dark and heavy counterpart to Elizabeth’s Vanilla Vibes, truly smells like you’re on the Dutchman in between realms.

Jack Sparrow: For Jack, I feel like anything remotely boozy with rum notes works, but if I had to name one scent, I’d pick Stranger Perfumery’s Cigar Rum (raisin, dried fruits (prune and cherry), rum absolute, mandarin, amber, tobacco, oakwood, vetiver, resins, labdanum absolute, seaweed absolute). Maybe layer that with a dirt single note or Fantôme - Bune (damp subterranean air, nagarmotha, smooth cave walls, davana, a cold marble altar, & glittering green dragon scales) for authenticity lol.

Hector Barbossa: Solstice Scents - Headmaster (Apple, bourbon, oak, cedar, pipe tobacco, applewood, amber, spices)

I just felt like I needed to pick a spicy, woody scent with apple notes in it. But any dark aquatic works too.

James Norrington: I associate James with any light aquatic or clean scents (at least when he’s not in his Scruffington Era), so I’d choose something like Solstice Scent’s Gulf Breeze (Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain, ambergris (vegan accord).

Cutler Beckett: Histoires de Parfums - 1740 (bergamot, mugwort, patchouli, coriander, cardamom, cedar, birch, labdanum, leather, vanilla, elemi, helichrysum)

Idk, this is just giving off Cutler Beckett energy. It’s boozy, it’s rich, it’s dramatic.

And somehow The House on Widow’s Hill (brandy, old oak paneling, dusty thick carpets, a thread of incense & a roaring fire in the hearth) by Pulp Fragrance also fits. That one’s basically brandy, smoke and dusty carpets in a bottle. On second thought, that might also work for Papa Swann.

I also feel like a tea scent would suit Beckett, but only if it’s a bit heavier, so maybe something like Gris Charnel by bdk (fig, black tea, cardamom essence, iris absolute, bourbon vetiver, indian sandalwood, tonka bean absolute). …But I haven’t smelled that one in a while too.

Davy Jones: Zoologist - Squid (Pink Pepper, Solar Salicylate, Incense, Black Ink Accord, Salty Accord, Opoponax, Ambergris, Benzoin, Musk)

Pretty self-explanatory. On my skin, it’s very musk-forward though.

Ian Mercer: Beaufort - Tonnerre (smoke, gunpowder, blood, brandy, sea spray and citrus)

…Yeah, I guess that one’s also pretty self-explanatory.

Yup, that’s it. Make of that what you will.

7 mutual as fragrances?

doing way more than seven but YAYYYYY finally my turn. if you're not here pls don't hate me it's 6 am and i haven't slept at all

@ak4e7a princess by kilian is the first thing that comes to mind obviously, but if i had to associate another one to her then i would say italica by xerjoff because she just looks like milky vanilla toffee personified

@venomhee is so unknown pleasures by kerosene, delicious lemon gourmand, just as sweet as she is <3 feels so cozy and familiar

@enha-stars gris charnel extrait by bdk dark smoky vanilla, very strong and mysterious yet so comforting, like a warm blanket wrapped around you. that's how i see her <3

@heeslomll immediately thought of hibiscus mahajád by maison crivelli !!! so bright and feminine, everyone loves it for good reason <3 just like everyone loves my lovely ness

@karinasbaby no one has ever blueberried as hard as my stella baby does, so ofc she gets poets of berlin by vilhelm <3 literally blueberry muffins straight out of the oven

@sleepyhoon chillest most easygoing and lovely person ever <33 and my twin at that! so she gets my personal fav from the vilhelm line, room service! i just know she smells so clean

@alvojake is the most black saffron by byredo girlie ever imo!! i love everything about this scent, one of my all time favs, just like i adore everything about kay <3 it's something you have to wear confidently or the fragrance will wear you instead and she's perfect

@dollyyun my lovely ruby is so universally appreciated, it just has to be baccarat rouge 540 by mfk! personally, i love the extrait so much more, so she gets that :3 such a head turner

@rikiluvbot my cutie kitty gets la capitale by xerjoff, bc how more miss vampie can we get than boozy vanilla? so rich and deep and sexy for my 6 feet baby

@onlygarden so pretty and delicate, she's just so insolence by guerlain to me :3 a scent i adore dearly, so elegant but something you won't smell anywhere else

@ja3yun & @yzzyhee come as a pair, so ofc i'm giving them matchy scents <3 diptyque philosykos for mars (a very refreshing green fig, almost like a fig tree) and the eau de parfum version for her wife aj (still the same fig, just creamier and with a bit of coconut), both so gorgeous

@emberuby cacao porcelana by atelier materi, intoxicating chocolate scent without being too sweet, such a stand out though!! i feel like it matches her theme perfectly <3

@heehoonies tom ford oud wood absolutely !!! such a comforting smell, that of a forest after it rains, so airy and gentle but still so confident and mysterious <3

@hollyoongs my holly <33 such a bright and outgoing soul, first thing that came to mind was moonlight in heaven by kilian, literally just super creamy mango sticky rice

@simpjaes thought right away about cherry punk by room 1015 !! edgier take on a cherry scent, very leathery and unique

@naomiarai i hear she doesn't like matcha much... so we'll go with coffee :3 so let's go with coffee break by maison margiela! very relaxing and cozy imo

[ashstfu]

hiii ash i was wondering if you're familiar with ralph lauren's perfume tender romance? it's discontinued and i can't find a good alternative 💔

hey just looked up the notes for tender romance and you might want to try pas ce soir by BDK parfums, its quite similar and has that feminine, cashmeran vibe. i also suggest lancôme’s la vie est belle for something sweet & warm or armani’s si for something more warm and sensual. both have that same comforting, romantic feel. YSL rouge velours & simply jil sander poudrée intense are some of my personal faves that match the vibe & could be great alternatives for you :)

Bdk Parfums RED SMOKING EXTRACT

[koraiku]

Part II of the perfume series.

Nicky:

That man does not give a single fuck if a perfume is for women man or Unix, he likes what he likes period.

I see him as a sweet and fruity perfume guy and I can imagine him with more than one.

One I can see for daily wear is mugler angel nova in the evening or for clubbing I could see him with lust for sun from Juliet has a gin.

I can also imagine that Erik gifted him something like boss orange.

Seth:

Axe Bodyspray, and too much of that.

Matt:

Matt is a rich boy, so he will wear more expensive perfumes, but not like Allison in a "I want the best" way but more in a "oh that smells nice what do you mean 200$ is expensive" kind of way.

I see Matt with like a woody clean scent with maybe a bit of green.

Examples would be xerjoff nio or parfums de Marly Perseus.

Kevin:

While from vibe alone he would peg me as someone who would spend time on something like perfume, I don't think his exy brain allows it.

I think he will want to smell clean and sophisticated for appearance sake, but he will not spend a lot of time.

I could also imagine him going with a brand who used him for advertisement.

I could see him in something like Paco rabanne invictus or parfums de Marly Percival.

Renee:

I take her shoes meine who doesn't take it too seriously, but will get joy out of trying new things.

I see her with perfumes with stranger notes, but still firmly rooted in the wearable area.

I think she is quite versatile but will maybe have 3 perfumes max at the time.

Perfumes I could see her with are yes I am by cacharel, Maison margiela matcha meditation or issey miyake l'eau d'issey.

Andrew:

Bow Andrew, with everything he does, is very intentional with perfume.

I don't see him as someone who will take that decision lightly and I definitely think he is someone with a signature scent.

He will spend money on that and he will not be afraid to go into niche territory.

I could imagine tobacco notes but I would also firmly put him with sweeter gourmand fragrances.

Something I could imagine on him is Montale Arabians Tonka or something like bdk gris charnel.

Please comment if you want someone else from the series✨

Fine Fragrances Are Getting a New Gourmet Twist

Distinct from “gourmand” fragrances that favour food notes of vanilla or almond, “neo-gourmand” fragrances are more sophisticated and sculptural.

As fragrance enjoys a post-pandemic boom, mass retailers and niche brands are hopping on the trend producing new and experimental olfactive takes on milks, fruits, nuts and other pantry staples.

Founders and fragranciers say neo-gourmands are both nostalgic and novel, able to evoke the pleasure of food and the comfort of memory while also having an “addictive” quality.

Read the rest of the article under the cut

Beauty shoppers have never been more ravenous for foodlike fragrances. Generally sweet and historically marketed to young women or adolescents, scents that feature edible notes like vanilla, chocolate or coconut are lately one of the most popular categories in the fragrance industry, where they’re known as “gourmands.” But a new batch of scents, referred to by perfumers and retailers as “neo-gourmands,” are taking the concept into more sophisticated and offbeat territory. Some are built around unexpected notes, like sesame or sea salt, while others add woody, smoky or contrasting notes to produce new and unusual scent cocktails.

Neo-gourmands are “hitting everywhere, from a trickle-up, trickle-down perspective,” said Mary Testa-Gough, associate vice president of product and fragrance development at Bath and Body Works. The mall brand recently launched a new scent for the holidays called Perfect in Pink, with a signature note based on a fictional fruit — the Yum-Yum cherry — created with the Swiss flavour and fragrance corporation Givaudan and nosed by Louise Turner, whose portfolio also includes Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl.

Neo-gourmands are helping to drive the red-hot fragrance market, one of the fastest-growing segments in beauty this year with sales up 14 percent in the third quarter, according to data from Circana, driven in large part by a tilt toward the luxury market. In its most recent earnings report, Bath and Body Works upped its sales expectations for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven in part by holiday demand for its premiumised scents like Perfect in Pink.

The food-focused fragrances also offer a way into a more mainstream category for niche brands like D.S. & Durga and By Kilian. Gourmand scents can be thought of as twee or unsophisticated, and for brands that market themselves to connoisseurs, a super-sweet, cherry-laden perfume might not fit the bill. On the other hand, an accord of red fruit, leather and salt just might.

Upmarket retailer Bluemercury has a dedicated assortment of neo-gourmands centred on “dark vanilla,” combined with leathers or ambers. Best-sellers include BDK Parfums Velvet Tonka ($230) and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille ($300). While vanilla is far and away the most popular hook, Gatlin Chambers, a merchant assistant with the retailer, has also noticed marked interest in fruits, marshmallows and pistachios.

The resurgence of gourmand fragrances relies on the earthly magic of nostalgia. Just as trends from the 1990s and 2000s like low-rise jeans and pochette It-bags have reappeared in fashion, similar ripples are moving through the beauty industry. Some of the most enduring gourmands, like Thierry Mugler’s Angel, a blend of fruit, chocolate and vanilla, were minted in that era.

For Rosie Johnston, a makeup artist turned perfumer, the current popularity of gourmands reminds her of the Los Angeles she moved to in the ‘90s. “Even though there was that grunge era, and the whole Nirvana movement, all of that, people were wearing vanilla essential oil,” Johnston said. “It was, like, a sweet kind of dirty.”

Johnston founded a clean fine-fragrance label, called By Rosie Jane, in 2012, and released a scent called Dulce in 2022. “I think we were all craving the same thing. We all went through Covid.” She wanted Dulce “to be reminiscent of a time that felt a little easier, a little more close and connected.”

The minimalist label Commodity’s best-seller is called Milk, but made with sesame oil. The result “gives a sense of familiarity without being precisely identifiable,” according to Vicken Arslanian, the founder and chief executive of Europarfums, the US-based fragrance portfolio that acquired Commodity in 2019. Arslanian added that the scent accounts for about 60 percent of the brand’s sales. “You’re getting the clarity of the classic singular gourmand notes with the esoteric experimentation of the artistic fragrances,” Arslanian said.

Tapping into the trend doesn’t necessarily mean entirely new formulations. Legacy brands like Lancôme and Dolce & Gabbana have been reworking their hero scents with a neo-gourmand twist. Lancôme’s Idôle Nectar, introduced in 2022, features notes of vanilla, caramel and popcorn, while Dolce & Gabbana launched an intense version of its Devotion fragrance this year that opens with a hazelnut pop (and is based in vanilla). Mugler recently expanded its decades-old Angel line with Fantasm, which blends the original with dollops of creamy piña colada.

In September, Glossier released the first two extensions of its best-selling scent You, one made with musk and wood and the other with plum and buttercream. The latter, You Rêve, has polarised fans of the original scent. “The warm plum scent is lipsticky — almost plasticky — in a super cool, nostalgic way,” one Fragrantica user wrote. Another likened it to “cherry chapstick.”

“A lot of times we’re using these notes to create something addictive,” said Frank Voelkl, the perfumer at fragrance house DSM-Firmenich responsible for the new You. The term comes up constantly in describing neo-gourmands, which “still want to be sweet and addictive, but also want to be a bit more elevated,” Moda Operandi’s beauty director Jessica Matlin recently told Allure. They want customers coming back for repeat sniffs.

More experiments in foodie scents are coming down the pipeline. In January, Shiseido will officially unveil Le Sel d’Issey, Issey Miyake’s interpretation of a sea-salt fragrance, and the last one the Japanese designer worked on before his passing in 2022. The brand hopes to capture the hearts and noses of young male customers. Also in January, Parfums Christian will introduce Bois Talisman, a vanilla-forward scent inspired by sugar cubes and cedarwood that “invents its own expressive realm, of immediate and universal addiction,” wrote Francis Kurkdjian, Dior’s nose and “Creation Director.”

“I think these flavourful, tasty textures are probably a little bit what you call the ‘new gourmand.’” Voelkl added. “It’s more complex, it’s more faceted. It goes way beyond being just sweet.”

Gris Charnel di BDK Parfums la mia recensione

Si chiama Gris Charnel, fa parte della Collezione Parisienne, ed è la mia fragranza preferita, per il momento, del brand di nicchia BDK Parfums. Si ispira al Quai Saint-Bernard che, nelle sere d’estate, si trasforma in pista da ballo all’aria aperta. Una fragranza sofisticata e sensuale che con il passare delle ore diventa ipnotica. Gris Charnel si apre con un succulento fico. note di tè nero e…

perfume brands i'm choosing not to support

i know this is my specific niche, so i don't know how many people will find this useful, but i wanted to compile a list of perfume/fragrance brands that support israel that i personally have decided not to use. for most, they're owned by a pro israel company, so i'll group them to make this easier to read

note: some brands listed under major companies are partnered with the larger company in question, i just say "owned by" as a catchall

feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on any of this, i'll update it if i need to add or remove anything

Brands owned by Estee Lauder Aerin  Aramis Clinique Jo Malone  Kilian Le Labo Tom Ford Michael Kors Coach Cosmetics

Anything owned by LVMH Dior Guerlain Givenchy Loewe Marc Jacobs Kenzo Parfums Maison Francis Kurkdjian Yves Saint Laurent Bvlgari DKNY Louis Vuitton

Anything owned by L’Oreal (as seen on the subsection of L’Oreals website, L’Oreal Luxe)  Diesel Fragrances Giorgio Armani Valentino Beauty Mugler  Maison Margiela Fragrances Lancome Ralph Lauren Cacharel Prada YSL

Various other brands Bath and Body Works Zara BDK (for the life of me cannot find any source talking about this, but here's a screenshot of what the owner has to say) Chanel

truth be told, a lot of these brands have really good dupes for a ton of their most popular fragrances. i wouldn't even bother going secondhand for their products, but that's just my personal opinion on what i'd be willing to buy. instead, i recommend brands like kayali perfumes who are vocally pro palestine. imo being silent is not really enough, but that's because perfume is a luxury for me and i'd rather spend my money on brands i feel comfortable supporting. anyways, once again, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on any of these or if i missed any

Ana! If you had to associate your fics with a perfume and/or smell, what would it be?

anon how much do i love this question 😭 💕 😭

man, did i have to think about this one. i wasn't really sure how to assign a particular scent to each fic but i had very specific ideas of the scents i could see some of my OCs wearing from each fic!

so here are a few and i hope it answers your question 💕

airplane, pt. 2 OC: love and crime by ex idolo

hahah okay i mean clearly i just can't get over the name and how it applies to this particular fic, but honestly the scent could apply to this OC, too. it's a sweet, cake-like blood orange scent but it has some spice to it, too. perfect for this spicy but secretly sweet OC.

last christmas OC: blanche bête by liquid imaginaires

last christmas OC had nothing to lose and she was pulling out all the stops. she knew seokjin was nuts for this fragrance (which is a perfect winter fragrance) and i too, am nuts for this fragrance. ambrette, incense and musk notes. i fell hard the second i put it on. so did seokjin. so did seokjin's pants.

red flag OC: god of fire by stephane humbert lucas 777

this is not a subtle OC and you can be damned sure she would not choose a subtle fragrance. she'd pick something distinct enough to trigger park jimin years and miles later. this scent is wildly sexy with it's notes of lemon and ginger and but the mango is the best part, juicy enough to jimin shudder any time he sees one in the wild.

greedy OC: xtra milk by dedcool

words cannot express my obsession with this scent. the ultimate "your skin but better" but somehow even better than that. seeing as doc would be working with patients and would have to be respectful of people's sensitivities to scents, this would be the perfect option. plus this is a scent i could see yoongi being totally nuts for. the perfect nose-in-the-neck sweetness that seems to emanate from the inside.

kanalia oc: gris charnel by BDK parfumes

oh, how i love this scent. it's what i imagine melancholy smelling like which is why i associate it with kanalia OC. but it's also so lovely and surprising. the fig and tea notes are elegant and refined, but it's also a scent that gets better the longer you wear it and if that's not a metaphor for kanalia OC, i don't know what is. if i could only wear one scent for the rest of my life, this would definitely be a contender.

june 17 2023

i took myself out to a cute sushi dinner to celebrate my birthday coming tomorrow.

scent of the day: bdk parfums gris charnel ($205/3.4 oz)

notes: top- fig, black tea, cardamom essence heart- absolute of iris, bourbon vetiver base- sandalwood from India, absolute of tonka bean

this one is a BEAUTIFULLY balanced warm and spicy fig. the fig is exceptionally sweet but not cloying in any way. the black tea settles a bit as you wear. truly a masterpiece of a fragrance. kinda reminds me of a sophisticated version of bbw's twilight woods from about 2008 or so.

song of the day: thoroughfare by ethel cain.

HEY, DO YOU WANNA SEE THE WEST WITH MEEEEEE??? COS LOVES OUT THERE AND I CANT LEAVE IT BEEEEE

i'm still in an ethel cain hyperfixation. this will not be going away anytime soon. thank you.

xoxo, berlin hell.
