BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking Extrait (Tester)

Description

BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking Extrait is a plush, cherry-almond gourmand concentrated to 30% extrait strength. It opens with cherry, pink pepper, and bergamot, moves into a powdery vanilla-and-heliotrope heart, and settles into a warm tonka-cashmeran-musk base. It's one of BDK's sweeter, more addictive releases — closer to a cherry liqueur wrapped in soft musk than a classic gourmand vanilla.

Scent Character

• Sweet — 40%
• Woody — 30%
• Fresh — 20%
• Spicy — 10%

Translation: a sweet gourmand with a soft woody-musk base — cherry and pepper open it up, vanilla and heliotrope add a powdery warmth, and tonka-cashmeran-labdanum round out the finish.
