BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir Extrait (Tester)

Description

BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir Extrait is the richer, more gourmand sibling of the original eau de parfum. Concentrated at 30% by perfumer Violaine Collas and launched in 2023, it opens with the same ginger-pear vivacity but deepens fast into peach, quince, and cocoa pod before settling into a warm, patchouli-cashmeran-vanilla base. Fragrantica calls it a more "carnal" and "addictive" reinterpretation, less about the sparkle, more about the skin-warmth. This listing is the tester edition: the same juice as the boxed bottle, in a full-size 3.4oz/100ml bottle without retail packaging.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 43%
• Woody: 21%
• Spicy: 14%
• Floral: 14%
• Fresh: 7%

Percentages are derived from note-family composition across the fragrance pyramid.

Translation: a gourmand-forward spiced floral, cocoa, peach, and vanilla push this well past the original EDP's fruity-spicy balance into full dessert territory, grounded by patchouli and cashmeran.

FAQ

How is this different from the Pas Ce Soir EDP?
Same family, deeper execution, the Extrait adds cocoa and peach and concentrates everything to 30%, trading the EDP's brighter sparkle for a warmer, more gourmand feel and longer wear.

What's the difference between this tester and the boxed bottle?
Nothing but the packaging, it's the same full-size 3.4oz extrait, minus the retail box and cellophane, usually at a lower price.

How long does it last?
8–10+ hours is typical for a 30% extrait, with strong initial sillage that settles into a close skin scent.

Is it unisex?
Yes, like the original, Pas Ce Soir Extrait is designed and marketed as unisex.
