BDK Perfumes – Collection Matières

BDK Collection Matières: precious ingredients centre stage

The spirit of the line

The Collection Matières puts centre stage the noble raw materials that make the richness of BDK. Where the Collection Parisienne tells of moments, this one starts from the ingredient: a tonka bean, an oud, a vanilla, a leather — and lets the material dictate the composition. A style guided by the work of craftspeople, faithful to the spirit of the Parisian studio at the Palais-Royal.

The perfumes in the line

Velvet Tonka is its signature: a woody vanilla of remarkable sophistication. Oud Abramad explores oud in all its depth. To these are added Tubéreuse Impériale, Vanille Caviar, Crème de Cuir and Wood Jasmin, along with the La Découverte Matières set to explore the line.

How to choose within the Collection Matières?

Hesitating between Velvet Tonka and Oud Abramad is normal: niche perfumery is an intimate matter. Our custom discovery box — five 2 mL samples hand-prepared from our catalogue — lets you compare at home.

The Collection Matières at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a niche perfumery reference; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold that standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). Our team lets you try the BDK fragrances on skin, with expert advice and guided trials.
