BDK Parfums: the Parisian olfactive library by David Benedek

David Benedek and the heritage of 312 Saint-Honoré

BDK Parfums was founded in 2016 in Paris by David Benedek (whose initials sign the maison), heir to a family lineage of perfumers established at the historic 312 rue Saint-Honoré, a few steps from the Élysée. The maison cultivates a strong creative posture: perfume as olfactive library, where each fragrance tells a chapter of contemporary Parisian life — a neighbourhood, a moment, an atmosphere — in compositions of contemporary writing signed by Honorine Blanc, Cécile Zarokian, Mathilde Bijaoui and other established perfumers.

The maison's signature scents

The BDK pantheon brings together Gris Charnel, Rouge Smoking, 312 Saint-Honoré, Vanille Leather and Oud Abramad — a roster of contemporary signatures that has placed BDK among the most followed Parisian niche maisons of the last decade.

Four collections to explore BDK Parfums

The maison structures its catalogue into four differentiated lines. The Parisienne Collection is the narrative heart (ten creations that map Paris). The Matières Collection puts noble ingredients in the spotlight. The Azur Collection celebrates the Mediterranean. The Exclusive Collection gathers the maison's confidential editions.

Who is BDK Parfums for, and when to wear it?

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

Who founded BDK Parfums?

David Benedek founded BDK Parfums in Paris in 2016 at the age of 26. The grandson of Romanian-Hungarian perfumers established on rue Saint-Honoré since 1959, he grew up surrounded by the great names of classical perfumery. Trained at the IFM and the Cinquième Sens school, he created a 100% made-in-France house, awarded by the Fragrance Foundation France in 2022 for Velvet Tonka.

What does BDK stand for?

BDK are the initials of the founder's surname: Benedek. David Benedek chose these initials to convey the image of a creative collective and studio rather than a personal brand. The house is also known as BDK Paris.

What is the BDK Parfums best-seller?

Gris Charnel and Velvet Tonka are the two iconic signatures of the house. Gris Charnel — a musky powdery perfume of rare sensuality — launched BDK's international reputation.

Our personalised discovery box lets you test them before committing to a bottle.

Are BDK perfumes unisex?

Whether you are drawn to the delicate florals of the Collection Parisienne or the intense leathers of the Collection Matières, every perfume is designed for all personalities.
