Which Should You Buy?
A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of BDK Parfums Gris Charnel (2022) by Mathilde Bijaoui - the cardamom-iris-sandalwood Extrait that became one of the breakout modern niche releases of the early 2020s, balancing a fig-tea opening with a powdery-vanilla-vetiver heart. Honest dupe-fidelity for autumn-winter and date wear.
Floris's Mulberry Fig is a bit of a chameleon, starting off with vibrant fig and iris, then settling into a woody, creamy base with a strong coconut twist. It's divisive, with some loving its refreshing complexity and others wishing for more fig and less suntan lotion.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Cardamom-iris-sandalwood-tonka structure reads firmly autumn-winter; the powdery-spicy warmth carries through a cool spring evening. Less natural in summer where the depth reads heavy.
Occasions
Sophisticated woody-spicy with strong but composed projection fits date, formal evening, and dinner wear ideally; office viable at low dosage. Too distinctive for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its lighter projection and clean, fresh character make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where it won't overwhelm. While some find it leans masculine, its gentle nature might not be bold enough for formal events, and for dates, its more relaxed vibe might suit a casual encounter better.
