by Violaine Collas

BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Violaine Collas. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Ginger, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Quince, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cashmeran, and Amberwood.

Our verdict on Pas Ce Soir: Statement

Pas Ce Soir is well-intentioned and aims for a unique fruity floral, but the execution is divisive. Some find it a sophisticated, uplifting everyday scent, while others are baffled by its poor performance and clashing notes, with some even getting 'rotten fruit' or 'bad breath' vibes. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it morphs wildly depending on skin chemistry.

While some find it an elegant everyday scent, the polarizing nature of its sweetness and patchouli, combined with highly inconsistent performance (some report it disappears in minutes, others love its longevity) makes it a tricky fit for office wear. It's better suited for casual outings or dates where its fruity, sensual character can shine, but its richness could be cloying in formal or sport settings.

About

It opens with a zesty, spicy kick of ginger and mandarin, quickly leading into a juicy quince note that often reads as pear or even plum. White florals, primarily jasmine and orange blossom, soon emerge, adding a creamy, often indolic depth. The base settles into a warm, woody patchouli, with hints of cashmeran and amberwood that can lean cosy or, for some, turn a bit funky. It aims for a distinctive, sweet-spicy fruit-chouli profile.
