The inspiration of this perfume comes from the raw materials that were selected to create the boutique: the glass of the window, the concrete and the white stone from Bourgogne which bring some freshness and light into the space. They give all together a mineral design approach, like the perfume.
312 Saint-Honoré, the new fragrance of La Collection Parisienne, in reference to the opening store of BDK Parfums, the very first boutique of the Maison, in the heart of the capital, and confirms Paris as the Maison’s home base.
312 Saint-Honoré is composed of pink peppercorn notes for an addictive spicy opening. At the heart of the fragrance, white musks, amber musks and lactones mingle with the freshness of orange blossom. In the base notes, you will find a sensual and animalic accord. With Alexandra Carlin, David Benedek imagined a fragrance that could be worn at any time of the day and for all seasons. “For the opening of my first flagship store in Paris, I wanted to celebrate this new chapter with a creation in honor of this Parisian address”, said perfumer.
“The boutique is a perfect urban haven for the Maison’s creations, while at the same time a refuge from the hustle of Parisian life. I imagined a fragrance in its image, at once intimate, inviting us to reconnect with ourselves, and luminous, open to the outside world. 312 Saint-Honoré is a sensual, mineral and musky creation, a fragrance for yourself, a skin perfume, carnal but very vertical, where I use and abuse of ambery woody notes. Sensuality also expresses the way I feel about Paris. The fusing pink peppercorn and its peppery leaf, almost incense-like, illuminate the start of the fragrance and are a nod to the sparkling glass that adorns the boutique.”, said Alexandra Carlin.
