Velvet Tonka Extrait

By perfumer Alexandra Carlin BDK Parfums Amber, Gourmand Unisex Velvet Tonka Extrait draws its roots from two horizons that have shaped David Benedek’s universe: Morocco, radiant and artisanal, and Paris, urban and creative. A meeting point where warm hues, deep reds and sun-burnt golds, encounter the raw, vibrant elegance of the City of Light. From this dialogue emerges a singular glow, an enveloping warmth that the golden bottle captures like a precious shimmer. Velvet Tonka Extrait extends and reinterprets the spirit of the original fragrance. Denser and more assertive, this interpretation explores ambery and leathery facets that intensify its character. Heritage is carried forward into a new vision, where tradition and modernity engage in a bold, contemporary dialogue. At the heart of the composition, tonka bean stands as the founding material. Paired with roasted pistachio, it unveils a gourmand, addictive, almost tactile quality, reminiscent of caramelized Moroccan pastries. In contrast, saffiano leather, dark and textured, brings a Parisian verticality: a raw, deep breath that anchors the fragrance in urban energy. Part of the Collection Matières, Velvet Tonka Extrait celebrates a raw material by reinventing it. Here, tonka bean is dressed in an unexpected and distinctive dimension, emblematic of the BDK Parfums style, a luminous, textured signature that transforms an iconic note into a new form of addiction.
