It’s my scent of the day! It’s still fairly cold in Quebec City… I really enjoy it. It’s as far as I will go when a fragrance smells slightly masculine.

Fairly cold in Calgary too and I would totally wear it in today’s weather. Snowed a bit today too 🙊

I really like this one from BDK. Not so much their others. The cardamom opening is stunning. And the overall tea accord is pretty good. I don't remember smelling fig, so I'll focus on that note next time. I also think their bottles are priced right. Thanks Henna.

I agree, not mad about the price. Seems similar to a lot of other niche out there.

I agree with you, I found that gris charnel was more masculine than I imagined (on me). With all the hype it got, espacilly from women, it was not what I was expecting. I was looking for a tea fragrance and ended up prefering molecule 1 + black tea to gris charnel. The salesperson looked insulted by my preference lol

My experience with Gris Charnel …I did succumb to positive online reviews and blind bought this, ahem, lol. This was just after release a few years back. I didn’t end up wearing it as much a I thought I would and sold it for a great price. Fast forward to 2024 and found myself craving it again so yes I did buy another and am going to keep it this time as I really love it now! Funny how things turn out…☺️ Does anyone else get a coconutty vibe from it or is it just me?

I get that coconut. It’s like *blink* and it’s gone.

Your videos are always so relaxing to listen to/watch. Gris Charnel, on my skin, really emphasizes the fig note to my nose, which is not my favourite thing. My husband loves it on me, and I almost bought a travel size of it just to make him happy 😂. Still might do it.

Maybe it will grow on you like it did on me! Honestly, I don’t think a bottle is out of the question for me. I need to come back to it.

Hi Henna, I tried Gris Charnel several times but it didn’t work for me. I get a chemical shoe polish smell in the opening that doesn’t go away. It’s probably the black tea note. I struggle with tea notes in general. Nevertheless, I enjoyed your review!
