"At a 30% concentration, Gris Charnel Extrait amplifies the intensity of the original signature, yielding a richer, more multi-faceted interpretation. This new creation welcomes the woody essence of patchouli, which deepens the sandalwood and tonka bean—notes that emerge with heightened texture and warmth. A lush vanilla underscores the composition, infusing the trail with an ambered, smoky roundness. At the top, vibrant, fresh cardamom intertwines with the delicate green and fruity nuances of fig, creating a luminous opening that sets off the fragrance’s opulent core."
"For me, Gris Charnel Extrait elevates the Parisian sensuality already inherent in Gris Charnel. Parisian sensuality manifests in countless forms, and I find it captivating to envision the full spectrum of sensuality through a Parisian lens."
