BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir EDP

Description

BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir is a spiced, jasmine-laced amber floral that trades hush for heat. Created by perfumer Violaine Collas and launched in 2016, it opens with a sparkling burst of ginger and mandarin before settling into a plush heart of quince and Moroccan jasmine, all wrapped in a warm cashmeran-and-patchouli base. It's one of BDK's most versatile unisex releases. Spiced enough to feel distinctive, soft enough to wear to the office. The name translates to "not tonight," a wink at the seductive mood it sets.

FAQ

Is Pas Ce Soir a men's or women's fragrance?
It's unisex. The ginger-pepper opening and jasmine-quince heart wear equally well on any skin.

How long does it last?
Expect 6–8 hours from the eau de parfum, with moderate-to-strong sillage that mellows into a skin scent after the first couple of hours.

What does Pas Ce Soir smell like?
Spiced ginger and mandarin up top, a soft jasmine-quince heart, and a warm cashmeran-patchouli base, closer to a cozy amber than a sweet gourmand.

Is there an Extrait version?
Yes. BDK also makes a 30% Extrait de Parfum edition of Pas Ce Soir with a deeper, more gourmand profile (added cocoa and peach notes).
