BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking EDP (Tester)
Description
BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking Eau de Parfum is a 2018 release from the Paris niche house, created by perfumer Amélie Bourgeois. It opens on tart cherry and pink pepper, then settles into a smoky, ambery vanilla built on black vanilla husk, heliotrope, and cashmere wood: a plush, after-dark gourmand that channels the glamour of a velvet smoking jacket on a Paris night out.

Performance
