A Chypre Homage to Parisian Elegance

Step into the heart of French perfumery with French Bouquet by BDK Parfums — a distinctive chypre that reimagines 1930s Parisian glamour with modern finesse. At Rabica, we invite you to discover a fragrance where aldehydes, noble florals and rich woods create an elegant timeless signature.

Fragrance Family & Character

Family: Chypre • Floral • Woody — a classic structure updated for today’s niche-enthusiast. According to Fragrantica, its main accords include woody, aldehydic, white floral, powdery. 

Top Notes: Aldehyde C12, Coriander, Italian Bergamot — a sparkling, airy opening that brightens florals and introduces refined clarity. 

Heart Notes: Moroccan Rose, Indian Jasmine, Tunisian Orange Blossom — a refined bouquet of white-floral elegance at the core.

Base Notes: Spanish Labdanum, Cuban Tobacco, Haitian Vetiver, Indonesian Patchouli, Violet, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean — a rich, warm foundation combining woods, resins and soft sweetness. 

Why It Stands Out

At Rabica, we consider French Bouquet an exceptional expression of niche artistry: the aldehydic-chypre opening offers a powdery elegance, while the floral bouquet brings depth, and the wood-resin base ensures lasting sophistication. It’s a fragrance that bridges vintage refinement and contemporary luxury. The presence of “powdery” in its accord profile underscores its appeal for those who love that soft veil of musky-iris-like finish.

Usage Tips

• Application: Two sprays on pulse points (neck and wrists). For a more expansive trail, one light spray over clothing or on the back of a scarf.

• Best Worn: Evening wear or formal occasions — especially when you want a scent with presence and elegance.

• Seasonal Fit: Autumn and winter shine best, given its rich base. In warmer weather, apply one spray for subtler effect.

• Style Pairing: Perfect with tailored suiting, silk scarves, structured gowns or refined outerwear. The fragrance complements textures like velvet, cashmere and strings of pearls or cufflinks.

Ideal For

For the fragrance lover who values craftsmanship, heritage and understated distinction. Whether you’re curating a collection of niche perfumes or seeking a signature that stands out, French Bouquet by BDK Parfums at Rabica is a versatile, refined choice — where vintage Paris meets modern luxury.
