I absolutely love the bottle slo-mo shots 😂It's almost AD worthy and the guy is doing a great job! I just got their discovery set and it's a lovely surprise despite being such a young brand
My favourite part of the BDK fragrances is the dry down. They are all so unique. Rouge Smoking is one of my most worn fragrances of 2022 (smells like cherry cola in the best possible way). Different to all my other cherry fragrances (I also love Burning Cherry and Lost Cherry). Creme de Cuir takes you on an incredible journey with citrus at the top and the best ever sweet leather in the mid. Velvet Tonka is too literal a gourmand for me at the top (smells exactly like marzipan) but the dry down is softer and quite addictive. Gris Charnel is super chic. The colour of the juice perfectly matches the fragrance. Edgy, sexy, powerful. Wood Jasmin is my new favourite. A perfect soft, woody fragrance. I wear it layered with the Sol de Janeiro Bum Dia lotion to make it sweeter and more feminine.
The first time I tried Gris Charnel, I too was a little disappointed. So I left it a week or so and tried it again and fell in love with it - absolutely obssessed with it . An amazing modern classic that will stand the. test of time, I think.
I blind bought Gris Charnel after your reviews - I know, risky in this price range - but OH MY! It's fabulous. I really really love wearing it, it somehow also calms me down. Ordered a sample set and can't wait to try out more from this brand.
Agree. 💯. Gris is #1. Rouge Smoking #2. I want Tubereuse Imperiale’ badly. I have the sample and it’s just as you say. Wow! My son walked by me wearing the Ambre Saffrano sample and omg, that one is excellent too! BDK makes some nice fragrances.
I am wearing Gris Charnel right now, and it really does smell as amazing as you say. It’s swoon-worthy and unique too. Would love to see your take on Ex Nihilo and Matiere Premiere. 💜💜🌹
Great review Monika ☺️👍🏼 I really like this brand although I noticed that the small bdk samples are a bit different from the juice in the big bottle! Especially in terms of longevity and sillage. I have tested several bdk fragrances and bought Gris Charnel, Rouge Smoking and Pas Ce Soir and I have to say I‘m a little disappointed with the performance… For example, Pas Ce Soir (from the bottle) only lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin while the sample lasted up to 24 hours… Just keep that in mind when you try out the samples :) I still love the fragrances, but it's better to try them in a store to see how they last and project on your skin 😊
Funny you say Tabac Rose is feminine, I found it too masculine. I gave it to my husband and he loves it. It’s probably the one he grabs the most now. He’s scored a few hand-me-downs from failed blind buys. Failed for me, wins for him.
I have full bottles of both Gris Charnel and Gris Charnel Extrait. Both are amazing. I like the Extrait a little better, as it is darker. I really wished I would like more of the line. Creme de cuir was a bit of a let down; the description sounded a lot like Goldfield and Banks Purple Suede, but upon application I preferred the latter and bought a full bottle. The only other one I found interesting was Tabac Rose; its evolution and change on the dry down is amazing.
Yesterday I got samples for Gris Charnel and Rouge Smoking. I am OBSESSED!! Thank you for making me discover these. Have just ordered 2 full bottles. ;-) LOVE your channel. Greetings from Sweden!
As a man that lives in a warmer climate most of the year (Phoenix, AZ/ U.S.A.), one of my signature scents is Gris Charnel and my second favorite from the house is Rouge Smoking. It took a little for me to buy into it, but I just couldn’t stop spraying my sample and then when I ran out I knew I needed a full bottle! I don’t wear them on the really hot days. They tend to be worn on my fall and winter rotations. 😊👍🏽
Phoenix is not just warmer. It’s who turned the thermostat to HELL. Lived there for a year. Had lived in Southern California and southern New Mexico. Phoenix had a different level of heat.
I struggle with the incense note as well. But I recently got a decant of the most beautiful incense fragrance I’ve ever smelled, Encens Suave from Matiere Premiere. Let me tell you, THAT is how you do incense! Aurelien Guichard really put his genius into that fragrance!
I’ve been tempted to get Encens Suave, but from what reviews I’ve seen of that, it seems to be very much a ‘skin scent’ ? (I like a fragrance to project so I’ve held back from buying for now, but I love incense fragrances)
Fragrance is so subjective I actually love velvet tonka such a beautiful almond that gives cherry as well. I find it warm and beautiful. I also love pas ce soir but don’t think it’s blind buy safe 😅 Overall I love BDK
☆Great fragrance house, and great review Mon! But I would definitely recommend the Gris Charnel Extrait! It is rich, sumptuous, and more male wearable. Very worth a sample at the very least! You would probably love it on your beau! Also, do you like Argos fragrances, or Timothy Han, very psyched to hear your thoughts on those...Much respect and appreciation ☆☆☆☆☆
Totally share your opinion on the tonka scent. The bottle looks so promising 😂. Really love Gris charnel, rouge smoking and creme de cuir for very spring days.
Hi,w mojej kolekcji mam rouge smoking i gris charnel ❤Kocham.Chcialabym velvet tonka i pas ce soir tylko nie wiem ktory jest wiecej Sexy z tych dwoch.Prosze o pomoc
My most loved house BDK. My favoure is velvet tonka...one of my favourite smell of my life... 😳🕺🏻 ( I own creme de cuir, rouge s., pas se soir,Bouquet De Hongrie, tubereuse imperial)
I absolutely love the Velvet Tonka also…performs like a beast on my skin…it’s so interesting how our bodies just respond differently to various fragrances which is why I prefer to test on my skin and go through the dry down etc. before I deliver a verdict. It also seems to me that it’s best to let fragrances that are shipped directly to me just sit in a cool/dark place for a few days minimum before I actually test them out.
@@thetejp05 Thanks for the tip. Gris Charnel Extrait arrived today & a little dissapointed. Not as strong as thought, seems close to skin. I will retry in a few days.
I discovered bdk on my vacation and I really love this brand.❤ I have Rouge Smoking and Gris Charnel from them. Rouge Smoking is for me even better than Lost Cherry . It's very sexy like you said and on me longlasting. And Gris Charnel is very unique. I never smelled something similar before. Love these two. I want to buy other bdk perfumes like Tabac Rose and Pas Ce Soir too.
Hey Monika, always love your reviews! Curious if you've tried Bouquet De Hongrie? I've been looking around for a niche perfume and am considering to gift that to my fiancee to wear on our wedding day. If you've tried it before, would you say it's "bride-appropriate" ? Also, what men's fragrance would you recommend for a groom that may match Bouquet de hongrie?
I absolutely love the bottle slo-mo shots 😂It's almost AD worthy and the guy is doing a great job! I just got their discovery set and it's a lovely surprise despite being such a young brand
That's actually Monika showing the bottles up close. I love how she does it, too!
@@melanieabalos3108 That’s clearly a man. Look at the hands 🙂 I think it’s her husband.
Naaah it’s IS ad worthy!!! It is brilliant and she used excellent camera sets. Just love it too!!

My first BDK purchase and it is Pas ce soir extrait ❤ love it so so much. Thank you for your reviews.
Just listening to your reviews on perfume make me want to buy each & every perfume that she’s talking about..
I'm loving BDK perfumes! My favorites so far are Rouge smoking and Gris charnel!
I just bought Gris Charnel and while i like it a lot, it was a blind buy im regreting. Is not as great as everybody preaches. A little sad!
My fiancé really hates gris charnel ; it’s interesting how some men love it and some hate it!
I have a sample and I love it. It’s on my list to buy a full bottle. That black tea note is killer!
The first time I tried Gris Charnel, I too was a little disappointed. So I left it a week or so and tried it again and fell in love with it - absolutely obssessed with it . An amazing modern classic that will stand the. test of time, I think.
I can't belive you put Velvet Tonka at last place. I think it's the best from the line!
Gris Charnel is my signature scent, for every season. I’m going to get the Creme de cuir 😍
I blind bought Gris Charnel after your reviews - I know, risky in this price range - but OH MY! It's fabulous. I really really love wearing it, it somehow also calms me down.

Everytime you display the spray I imagine myself diving into the mist😂. So inviting 😊
Velvet Tonka is my favorite along with Gris Charnel!❤

I don't think there making a separate batch for samples that would cost more for the perfumer

Is Rough Smoking more female or unisex?
My fav are wood jasmine and pas ce sour extract ❤️ the longevity and projection of them are the best
I just wish WISH that Rouge smoking is not red liquid, but red bottle! I don't like to put red liquids on me for some reason.

Velvet Tonka does have SOMETHING in common with Rouge Smoking to me! More powdery version? Yet still different
I have Rouge Smoking and Gris Charnel and they are both incredible but I think Rouge Smoking has the edge - thank you for sharing this great insight
Gris charnel smells awesome but it is way too soft for my liking. Need to sample the extrait version
Thank you - perfume has gotten expensive, before I purchase it is nice to know others perspective.

Totally, I own this one and ADORE IT!
@@MonCioch Oh! How did I miss it in your collection? :D My bad!
@@helencavanagh8119 it’s actually the opposite of that. Encens Suave is one of the strongest projecting perfumes I own!
I just got Pas ce soir and rouge smoking and Gris charnel plus the hair perfume !!! 🎉
I bought Gris Charnel, it’s stunning!
Fragrance is so subjective I actually love velvet tonka such a beautiful almond that gives cherry as well. I find it warm and beautiful. I also love pas ce soir but don’t think it’s blind buy safe 😅 Overall I love BDK
Would love it if you did reviews on ‘Mancera’ fragrances 💙
☆Great fragrance house, and great review Mon! But I would definitely recommend the Gris Charnel Extrait! It is rich, sumptuous, and more male wearable. Very worth a sample at the very least!

Rouge smoking, pas ce soir, and Grus charnel are my favorites, but I’m quit impressed with tuberose imperial. That is the best done tuberose.
Totally share your opinion on the tonka scent. The bottle looks so promising 😂. Really love Gris charnel, rouge smoking and creme de cuir for very spring days.
This was really helpful. Would you review the Byredo line?
I would love to hear this from your channel as well!
This is a lovely buying guide! Thanks!!
If possible, would you do buying guide for the brand Diptyque? Many thanks!😊🙏
I'm shocked Bouquet D'Hongrie didn't make the cut lol
How this one smell like?
Have you done a brand review on Louis Vuitton? ❤ I love Imagination, Pacific Chill, L’Immensité, Afternoon Swim … to name a few. 😅
Thank you so much for this video

You haven’t mentioned about Velvet tonka
Hello! Please tell us what do you think about OSTENS perfumes. Really want to hear your review on their fragrance. Thank you! Xxx
Guerlain is my favorite perfumer.
I just ordered Rouge Smoking
Im sure you’ll love it :)
BDK GRIS is my favorite

Hi, i hope I am still useful. I would see it on a bride, just because I feel like it's too fruity
Lovely soft, very close to Chanel Chance
villa neroli is not in here?
Love your presentation !
amazing video, do you think that wood jasmine is good also for a 1,95 meter man like me? Or it would be a bit strange? Too feminine?
Bro, all fragrances are unisex.
It depends on your perception if you think one scent on you leans slightly masculine/feminine.
Yes, yes, yes (it would be great on a man or woman). It's so warm and seductive. Totally unisex.
Super Film. Czy można o polską wersję poprosić ❤❤❤?
Fantastic video
Gris me huele a una cajita nueva de colores , me cuesta verlo como olor a perfume, a mi me hile a un objeto
