Career and creations
For BDK Parfums, Amélie Bourgeois composed Rouge Smoking, a fruity amber that draws its inspiration from the joyful energy of Pigalle. The house evokes the district's red neon lights, buzzing cafés and electric nights, where red is not a loud statement but an attitude: a free, timeless and resolutely modern elegance.
The perfumer describes it as an assertively contemporary oriental, sensual and chic, "as if sewn with silk filaments and precious leather". Musks, black vanilla and tonka bean represent the silk, labdanum embodies the leather, and cherry with pepper reveals its red side. Bergamot opens the composition, heliotrope accompanies vanilla in the heart, and ambroxan and cashmere wood extend the base.
