Olfactory pyramid
The opening of Gris Charnel is spicy, luminous, and intriguing: cardamom brings its elegant aromatic spiciness, fig introduces a juicy, creamy sweetness that contrasts with the spicy intensity, and black tea adds a deep, slightly smoky aromatic dimension that provides character and complexity from the very first moment.
In the heart, velvety iris unfolds its powdery, sophisticated elegance with great class, while Bourbon vetiver brings its earthy, slightly smoky depth that contrasts with the delicacy of the iris in a highly refined balance. In the base, creamy sandalwood envelops with a soft, elegant woody warmth, and tonka bean adds its almond-like, spicy sweetness that extends the sillage with an intimate, magnetic, and deeply addictive warmth.
