Quai Saint-Bernard, near the Jardin des Plantes the first couples arrive at the Tino-Rossi garden. As the night falls, the number of dancers increases and the bleachers fill up. Under the silver moon and the lights of the tourist barges that criss-cross the quay a few metres away, the bodies mingle to the rhythm of the music.
It is then that two glances cross paths. A discreet invitation brings them to the centre of the track. As if they were carried away, they dance in the heat of the night. From this hand-to-hand seduction punctuated by knowing smiles, they end up slipping away to give free flow to more carnal desires. In the early morning, the sheets give off a scent of sleepless nights, mischievous and lascivious embraces.
This classical Eau de Parfum opens with top notes of fig, black tea and cardamom essence.
Heart notes of iris and bourbon follow, before drying down with base notes of sandalwood and tonka bean absolute.

Now I get it...
When I first sniffed my sample of Gris Charnel I was struggling to see what all the hype was about so I put it down for a week or so. Then I picked it up again and it's as if it bopped me on the nose for my impudence! LOL! Wow! Just wow! It is a really beautiful complex scent which lingers for many hours - I can still smell it on my pillow case a day or so later. IGris Charnel was my first niche "I must have this one' buy - and it really lives and exceeds the hype. This is one for the ages - a 'must have' and one I genuinely believe will be a classic.

Amazing scent !!!! 😀
I love this fragrance which in my opinion is perfect for autumn and winter.
Long lasting and fresh and warm at the same time . Not too sweet which I tend to not like . My fave for 2024

the IT girl fragrance.
one the most beautiful fragrance i have ever smelt. easily in my top ten. it smells like you're drinking black tea with a touch of milk surrounded by fig trees. it is a perfect year round scent and appropriate for any occasion - whether it be; work, date nights, day/night etc. the opening is smooth and creamy with fig and cardamon it dries down to a lovely tonka sandalwood with the smallest hint of iris.
personally I think it's a great unisex fragrance without leaning to masculine or feminine. can be layerd beautifully with santal 33 (le labo), ani (nishane) and a balm of calm (penhaligons). the fragrance is something you would imagine kafka would wear, surrounded by books and tea with a cigarette that was put out hours ago. (no cockroach)

Holy grail fragrance
Gris Charnel is probably my most favourite-or at least in my top three- winter perfumes, ever. It is stunning. I wore it last year while in the US for Christmas (it was very cold). It is like a creamy, chai latte. It has tonka bean, cardamon, creaminess, vanilla, sandalwood and incense (a sort of burning scent underpinning it). It is a perfectly unisex fragrance, would suit all ages. I will repurchase it for the rest of my life.
