The BDK hair perfumes not only delicately scent the hair, but soften it, leaving a silky effect. Enriched with silk proteins, their formula improves hair hydration, elasticity, and imparts a glossy finish. Silk, long celebrated for its hair care benefits and known as the “princess” of fibers, provides a crystalline structure that enhances hair hold. With 94% natural ingredients, these hair perfumes preserve both your hair and the environment.
Usage: Apply to the mid-lengths and ends of the hair.
ROUGE SMOKING
In Pigalle, the sky is misty, and it amplifies the appearance of the street’s bright red lights. In front of her dressing room mirror, she puts the finishing touches on her makeup, a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth. From her wardrobe, she pulls out a tailored tuxedo and puts it on. She is the quintessential Parisian bohemian, and she leaves a mark wherever she goes – be it on stage or street – with her style and erotic power.

HOW IT WEARS
This intoxicating scent opens with tart cherry, bright pink berries and juicy bergamot. It doesn’t take long until the earthy, sweet vanilla and honeyed heliotrope come out – they are the stars of the show. The dry-down is a musky, woody, almost smoky vanilla that is both sophisticated and sensual.
LORE LOVES
Rouge Smoking is so addictive – whenever you wear it you can’t stop smelling yourself! It’s a hedonistic fragrance, that while totally carnal is also somehow sophisticated. This one will turn heads, after all, it’s smoking hot!
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
