Sel d'Argent

by Anne-Sophie Behaghel

BDK Parfums Sel d'Argent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Sel d'Argent opens with Salt, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran, Musk, Iso E Super, and Ambroxan. BDK Parfums's Sel d'Argent carries a Favourite verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's proper divisive: a small army love it as a modern, musky aquatic gem, whilst an equally vocal contingent recoil, likening it to public loos or even bodily fluids. Sample first, yeah?

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle aquatic nature makes it versatile for casual wear and suitable for warmer climates. While some note its lightness, the underlying musky and amber drydown can work for relaxed date settings, though it might be too informal or polarising for very formal events given the 'love it or hate it' community reaction.

About

Sel d'Argent opens with a bracing spray of salty grapefruit and bergamot, like a Mediterranean breeze. This crisp start softens as orange blossom and ylang-ylang emerge, lending a subtly creamy, white floral touch. The dry down settles into a soft, inviting skin-scent of musky amber, underpinned by the clean, modern warmth of cashmeran and ambroxan, evoking sun-warmed skin after a dip in the sea.
