BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking Extrait

After Gris Charnel and Pas ce Soir, the much-loved Rouge Smoking has now been reworked in an Extrait de Parfum, offering a more intense and sensual version. Inspired by the vibrant Pigalle district in Paris, it also pays homage to the heritage of Parisian haute couture by reinventing the original accord.

A blend of luscious sweetness of Napoleon cherry with the enchanting richness of vanilla and tonka bean. It’s a modern and bold skin scent, combining woody, fruity, and musky notes. In line with its original signature, Rouge Smoking Extrait evokes passion and seduction. Concentrated at 30%, its fruity, amber, and cherry accord notes are reimagined into an even more textured and elegant version. A velvety and addictive trail, where black vanilla absolute, tonka bean, and white musks amplify, leaving an exquisite and captivating imprint on the skin.

“Rouge Smoking Extrait embodies an elevated Parisian audacity and elegance. The cherry, vanilla, and tonka bean accords, already powerful in its original version, become even deeper and more intense in this Extrait version. Together with Amélie Bourgeois, we explored various ingredient combinations to find the perfect balance between intensity and subtlety. By adding notes of amber woods, patchouli, and a milk accord to the existing ones of cherry and ambroxan, we enriched the olfactory experience while staying true to the spirit of Rouge Smoking.” comments David Benedek, BDK Parfums founder
