BDK Parfums French Bouquet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Amélie Bourgeois. French Bouquet opens with Bergamot, Coriander, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Violet. BDK Parfums's French Bouquet carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's stirred up a proper debate, hasn't it? French Bouquet is either a 'modern vintage masterpiece' or 'just another Chanel No. 5 dupe'. Expect aldehydic florals and an old-school chypre base that'll have some swooning and others rolling their eyes at the price tag.

About

Opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of aldehydes, lifted by a touch of bergamot and coriander, giving it a classic, almost soapy feel. This quickly blossoms into a rich bouquet of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom, oozing opulence. The dry down settles into a complex, earthy base of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, warmed by labdanum and subtle tobacco, for a deeply vintage and powdery finish.
