Grey Silk matches the iris, rose and amber signature of BDK Gris Charnel, built at up to 35% Extrait. We make it with oils from some of the world's leading fragrance houses, the kind that also make for designer and niche brands.
Grey Silk is an Extrait de Parfum, made at up to 35%. How long any scent stays depends on its notes, your skin and the weather: fresh, citrus and aquatic scents lift off sooner, while woods, amber, musk and vanilla stay with you for longer. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.
Gris Charnel is around £295. Grey Silk is £40 for a 50ml Extrait, or £6.99 for a 5ml sampler.
You have 60 days from delivery to decide. Email sales@aromara.co.uk, send the bottle back lightly tested with at least 90% left, and we refund the product price. You pay the return postage.

VANILLA DUST... OMG
The smell is amazing you wouldn't know rhe difference between Vanilla dust and Vanilla powder.... you don't need to use much as the fragrance is spot on and lasts all day.... so many people ask what fragrance I am wearing and compliment it ..... I can even smell it in the house when I return from being out for a while ..
Would definitely recommend aromara.
Will be looking to rider other fragrances again soon
