Following in the footsteps of his grandparents’ olfactory legacy, David Benedek founded Paris-based fragrance House BDK Parfums in 2016. Its library of sensory creations – including Gris Charnel, Rouge Smoking and Pas Ce Soir – are dreamt up at the brands design studio in the palatial district of Palais-Royal. Offering a contemporary take on classic French scents, each aroma is inspired by characters, movements, silhouettes, and moments that are centred on pure raw ingredients.
