Gris Charnel bdk Parfums 2019 Eau de Parfum

Starts off unpleasant for me, like biting into a cardamom pod while eating.

After about 10 minutes, the cardamom fades a bit and the fig comes forward. Now the scent becomes really interesting. I don't perceive black tea, but I do get a hefty dose of vetiver. For me, the scent is therefore not really unisex, but rather quite masculine.

Over time, the wood and tonka bean also come into play. The scent is now becoming increasingly beautiful and softer. A lovely progression. For me, it just feels a bit too masculine overall and the opening is too hardcore-cardamom.
