Rouge Smoking opens on a gourmand cherry, enlivened by bergamot and pink pepper. The heart, of black vanilla and heliotrope, takes on a powdery, almondy softness.
The base pairs tonka bean, cashmere wood, ambroxan and musk with the leathery depth of rockrose: silk and leather, as the house puts it. A chic, sensual contemporary amber.

Rouge Smoking in detail
BDK Parfums, an independent house from the Palais-Royal, likes to start from a material to tell a Parisian story. Rouge Smoking, signed by Amélie Bourgeois, evokes a red evening outfit and Paris by night: a fruity, vanilla amber, gourmand without being sugary.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot, cherry and pink pepper: a fruity, slightly tart and spicy start. The heart pairs vanilla with heliotrope, a flower with a powdery scent reminiscent of almond. The base brings together ambroxan, cashmere wood, tonka bean, labdanum and musk for a soft, woody, amber foundation.
Rouge Smoking is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a night out, a dinner, an end-of-year party.
