In monochrome fashion, the new fragrance from BDK Parfums explores the mysterious power of the color black — no longer perceived as a shadow, but revealed as a source of light. Vanille Caviar, the sixth creation in the Collection Matières, is a perfume in which the very substance itself — vanilla, refined to perfection — becomes radiant and elevated to the rank of a noble material. Here, the creamy and delectable vanilla turns dark, dense, and textured, yet remains infused with luminosity.

Vanilla, derived from an orchid, is a majestic flower of almost surreal beauty. Its sensuality and addictive softness find deep resonance in this composition. The jet-black seeds glisten with a subtle shimmer. The fragrance is built around a single olfactory raw material — vanilla, revealed in all its nuances through CO₂ extraction and absolue. Cocoa and resinous notes, including Peru balsam and labdanum cistus, unfold their full richness and depth.

At its heart lies a distinctive vanilla caviar accord, with salty and mineral facets — precious and unmistakable. It is surrounded by subtle contrasts: the freshness of cardamom, the fruity brightness of blackcurrant, and the warmth of cocoa beans.

Here, light no longer emanates from golden shimmer or sunny accords, but radiates from the heart of the vanilla itself and the notes that surround it. This is an “Outrenoir” vanilla — dark in appearance, yet alive and vibrant, like a work of art that shifts throughout the day with light, shadow, and perspective. A sensual and captivating composition — unique, modern, and timeless all at once.
