BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Violaine Collas. Pas Ce Soir opens with Mandarin, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Quince, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cashmeran, and Amberwood. BDK Parfums's Pas Ce Soir carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
