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.
