Smoky fig with creamy cardamom and warm sandalwood It opens on Cardamom, Fig, Black Tea.
Gris Charnel opens with a slightly smoky cardamom and fig combination that feels instantly cozy. The fig is not fruity — it is more of a woody, green fig leaf quality. As it develops, the vetiver and sandalwood add a creamy, warm depth. There is a subtle sweetness from tonka bean that rounds everything out. The dry down is skin-close and intimate. This fragrance blurs the line between masculine and feminine effortlessly. Works beautifully in fall and winter. A favorite among niche fragrance enthusiasts for its understated elegance.
