Like its original signature, Pas ce Soir Extrait evokes Parisian mystery and sensuality. Concentrated at 30%, this more faceted creation is addictive and gourmand. Cocoa blends with the spicy freshness of black pepper and ginger. The voluptuous note of pear complements the fruity sweetness of quince chutney and orange blossom. At the base, the essence of patchouli and vanilla bring power and depth. An intoxicating fragrance with floral and fruity accents.
“Pas ce Soir Extrait draws the curves of a new delicacy, infinitely mysterious. Intriguing like an enigma to decipher, it becomes ultra addictive. An image I wanted to capture through the full-bodied intensity of resinoid cocoa and the woody richness of gayo pure jungle essence™ patchouli. An olfactory writing whose overdose is carried by a mesmerizing jasmine absolute that combines with a touch of quince chutney to create a deeply carnal and sensual signature.” – The Nose behind the fragrance, Violaine Collas

HOW IT WEARS
Pas ce Soir Extrait completely captivates you on the first spray. Immediately you get the depth of cocoa, sweetened by pear, quince and white florals, but as soon as it’s had a little time to open up on the skin, its deeper notes begin to come out. One of the main differences between the Extrait and the original Pas ce Soir is the extra dose of earthy, woody, spicy patchouli. It melds perfectly with the sparkling spices and resinous base notes, all of which are amplified by musky ambroxan. As an Extrait, this scent will last on the skin for an intoxicating 8-10 hours.
LORE LOVES
Pas ce Soir Extrait is a scent with some serious va-va-voom. We love how it retains the essence and feel of the original Pas ce Soir, but isn’t just a stronger version of the same thing. Some facets of the original formula have been intensified (the cocoa, the quince, the spice) and some have been added (ambroxan, patchouli). The result is a darker, more sensual fragrance that you just can’t help but to keep smelling throughout the duration of its wear.
ABOUT THE BRAND
BDK Parfums is an independent perfume house founded by David Benedek. Specialising in unique, creative fragrances made up of high-quality raw materials, each scent has its own narrative, its own tale to tell.
One of the youngest designers and house founders in the industry, David was born in 1989 to a Moroccan/Algerian mother and a Romanian father. Fragrance runs in his family – his grandparents opened a perfume boutique in Paris shortly after arriving there from Transylvania in the 60s.
Each BDK fragrance works around a particular raw material, giving it a life and a story of its own. The house is in a perpetual search for flawless raw materials, which is why most concentrates they use are from the Grasse region in France. The creative process is never rushed; new scents are complete when the perfect equilibrium between notes is found, the alchemy perfect.
David wants people to choose their fragrance as they choose a book in a library – by wearing one of BDK’s scents, a person can experience the story of the perfume, and find the link between fragrance and imagination.
BDK Parfums is based in the heart of Paris, Palais-Royal, so the lids of the BDK bottles have been designed to pay homage to the dome of the iconic Grand Palais. The monument holds many French treasures and is perfectly representative of French savoir-faire – of liberté, égalité, and fraternité – perfect for this proudly French house.
