BDK Parfums Vanille Caviar EDP

Description

BDK Parfums Vanille Caviar Eau de Parfum is a 2025 release from the Paris niche house, composed by perfumer Alexandra Carlin around the idea of vanilla as "caviar", the glossy black seeds of a freshly split pod, reimagined as a dense, almost mineral gemstone rather than a sugary dessert note. Green calamus and blackcurrant open into a heart of vanilla, osmanthus, and cacao, settling into a resinous base of labdanum and Peru balsam.

Scent Character

• Woody: 38%
• Spicy: 26%
• Floral: 12%
• Fresh & Green: 12%
• Sweet: 12%

Translation: a dense, resinous vanilla built on wood and spice rather than sugar, a sophisticated, artisanal take on vanilla, not a gourmand dessert scent.
