BDK Parfums has launched the Collection Studio, a line of three Absolus de Parfum created by perfumer Jordi Fernández of Givaudan. Concentrations for this line range between 40% and 48%, which is considered to be significantly higher than standard eau de parfum or even many extrait formulations.
Each scent in BDK Parfums' Collection Studio is designed to resonate with a specific textile or material inspired by haute couture. Stellar Silk features creamy sandalwood, iris, vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin tears to create a soft, sensual veil on the skin. Oud Paradisio, on the other hand, pairs dark oud wood with bergamot, frosted pineapple, incense, and saffron for a powerful, captivating effect. Finally, Silver Ceremony combines bergamot, green mandarin, lemon, ginger, and pink pepper to produce an electric, luminous signature.
