BDK Parfums presents Velvet Tonka Extrait, a fragrance inspired by Moroccan traditions, featuring a gourmand facet thanks to pistachio. An invitation to discover the art of perfumery through a unique olfactory experience.
The Matière collection from BDK Parfums is enriched by a new extract, Velvet Tonka Extrait, whose composition reflects the Moroccan heritage of its creator, David Benedek. This fragrance reinvents classic notes to offer an innovative accord based on gazelle horn. Beyond the initial notes, Velvet Tonka Extrait reveals a gourmand facet inspired by a Moroccan pastry thanks to the addition of pistachio.
This first extract from the Collection Matières, where each fragrance is directly inspired by a perfumery raw material from which an unexpected and distinctive dimension is born, revisits its original version around an ingredient with suave, rich facets. Alongside tonka bean and associated with orange blossom, pistachio invites us to discover a new gourmet facet of this Moroccan pastry, David Benedek's madeleine de Proust, which instantly takes him back to his sixties, Sundays, in the intimacy of his grandmother's salon, in the heart of Paris's tenth arrondissement.
The tonka bean, coated in pistachio and blended with deeper notes of vanilla, emanates a roasted, naturally gourmand scent which, combined with leather, highlights even more striking contrasts than in the original version. Senior Perfumer (IFF) Alexandra Carlin thus brings to life an olfactory dialogue between tradition and modernity, from which rises a new form of intense addiction.
" Of course, tonka bean is still at the heart of the creation. It is now expressed in the heart note, rather than just in the base, in a more immediate and enveloping way. It gains in roundness and texture, with a more ambery facet. But it's its alliance with toasted pistachio that gives the fragrance its uniqueness. Wrapped in a smooth cream of toasted pistachio, the tonka bean reveals itself to be even more gourmand, allowing Velvet Tonka Extrait to gain in depth and intensity. »explains David Benedek.
Velvet Tonka Extrait will be available from February 2, 2026, exclusively in the BDK Parfums boutique and on the BDK Parfums website. brand website.
