Top Notes: Cardamom Essence, Black Tea Extract, Fig Accord
Heart Notes: Moroccan Iris Absolute, Cistus Essence, Madagascan Bourbon Vetiver
Base Notes: Indonesian Patchouli Essence, Madagascan Vanilla Absolute, Sandalwood Essence, American Cedar Essential Oil, Tonka Bean Absolute
Gris Charnel Extrait deepens the familiar cardamom, fig, black tea, iris, and sandalwood profile with a darker base of patchouli, vanilla, cedar, and tonka bean. Cardamom and tea keep the opening dry and textured while fig contributes creamy fruit. Iris adds powdery softness through the center as cistus and vetiver bring resinous and earthy contrast. Sandalwood and vanilla make the drydown smooth and enveloping without erasing the smoky woods and patchouli underneath, giving the Extrait a richer, more saturated character than the original style.

Summary
Summary
Gris Charnel Extrait is a darker, more enveloping interpretation of the original Gris Charnel, built around cardamom, black tea, fig, iris, sandalwood, and a denser amber-woody base. Cardamom gives the opening its dry spicy lift while tea adds texture and fig contributes creamy fruit. Iris softens the center with a powdery quality as cistus and vetiver introduce resinous and earthy contrast. Patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, and tonka create a warm, smoky, polished drydown. The result is sensual and refined rather than overtly sweet, aimed at shoppers who enjoy creamy woods, spice, and a deep evening-ready texture.
