BDK Parfums Parisienne Collection – The soul of Paris's neighbourhoods

BDK Parfums Parisienne Collection: the soul of Paris's neighbourhoods

The narrative heart of BDK

The Parisienne Collection is the narrative heart of BDK Parfums, maison parisienne founded in 2016. Ten creations that transcribe the energy and diversity of Paris's neighbourhoods, in the contemporary writing of the author maison. Each fragrance tells a chapter of life in Paris — Saint-Honoré with its great houses, the Rive Droite at night, the smoke of the cinematheques — in a narrative cartography of the capital.

The ten creations of the Parisienne Collection

The Parisienne Collection brings together Gris Charnel, Rouge Smoking, 312 Saint-Honoré, Crème de Cuir, Oud Abramad, Ambre Safrano, Pas Ce Soir, Nuit de Sable, Tubéreuse Impériale and Invasion Barbare — ten compositions that compose a Parisian olfactive library.

Gris Charnel and Rouge Smoking, the two BDK icons

Two creations deserve a special mention: Gris Charnel — a powdery and ambery contemporary unisex (lentisk, fig, sandalwood, tonka) which has installed itself among the cult signatures of contemporary niche, with its extremely identifiable trail and its ease of wear. And Rouge Smoking, a feminine carnal floral (rose, leather, vanilla) of perfumed deshabille, that captures the smoke of an evening at the Crillon. Two creations that have placed BDK among the most followed Parisian niche maisons.

Who is the Parisienne Collection for, and when to wear it?

The Parisienne Collection speaks to lovers of contemporary Parisian perfumery, who appreciate narrative writing rooted in current culture. Creations cover all the families — oriental, woody, floral, ambery and leather — and shine year-round depending on creation. If you enjoy the Parisienne Collection, you will also want to explore Memo Paris (other narrative Parisian niche), Initio and Akro — three other contemporary author signatures at Soleil d'Or.
