Gris Charnel Extrait
Gris Charnel Extrait opens with fig and cardamom — not the bright-green fig of colognes but something closer to ripe fig in autumn: warmer, slightly winey, with cardamom's spice rounding the sweetness.

By the editors · 2 min readGris Charnel Extrait opens with fig and cardamom — not the bright-green fig of colognes but something closer to ripe fig in autumn: warmer, slightly winey, with cardamom's spice rounding the sweetness. The combination is distinctive, neither straightforwardly fruity nor spiced but something between.
Iris in the heart deepens the composition into its core register: powdery, cool, slightly chalky. The iris doesn't overpower — it grounds the fig-cardamom accord, pulling the composition toward the classic grey-iris aesthetic that defines the house's sensibility.
Tonka bean, sandalwood, Madagascar vanilla, and cedar in the base build a warm envelope that extends without becoming sweet. The extrait concentration means development is slower and the base longer-lasting. Designed to be worn close.
