Rouge Smoking Extrait • BDK

The pink peppercorn adds this unexpected spicy edge that keeps the cherry from feeling too syrupy sweet, and the dry down on my skin lasted well past an eight-hour workday. That extrait concentration really earns its keep; one spray on my scarf was still noticeable the next morning.

The cherry and almond combo hits that perfect balance between sweet and grown-up, and the pink peppercorn keeps it from getting too sugary on my skin. I keep catching whiffs of it hours later, which never happens with other fruity scents I've tried.

That red mandarin opening is so bright and juicy, it feels like biting into the fruit, and the Napoleon cherry underneath makes it dangerously wearable even in summer. The almond comes through on the dry-down to give it a cozy, almost powdery warmth that lasts for hours on my skin.
