With Vanille Caviar, BDK Parfums unveils a new side of vanilla: intense, radiant, and unexpectedly modern. The sixth creation in the Collection Matières, composed by Alexandra Carlin under the artistic direction of David Benedek, is concentrated at 25% and captures a sense of pure depth. This is vanilla as you have never experienced it before.
Like a monochrome work of art, Vanille Caviar explores the mysterious power of black — not as shadow, but as a source of light. Here, vanilla, usually soft and creamy, is reimagined into something deeper, darker, and more complex, yet still luminous.
At its core lies a distinctive vanilla caviar accord, with salty and mineral facets that feel both refined and addictive. Around it unfold subtle contrasts: sparkling cardamom, juicy blackcurrant, the warmth of cocoa bean, and the balsamic richness of Peru balsam and labdanum. The light seems to come not from outside, but from within the fragrance itself. The result is a scent that feels dark, yet alive, pulsing and moving with light.
Vanilla finds its origin in an orchid, a flower of captivating, almost surreal beauty. Its sensual and addictive softness takes on new depth in this composition. The black seeds glimmer gently, like tiny sparks glowing in the dark.
