The Vibrant Red Of Pigalle In Rouge Smoking Extrait

By

Long before The Pigalle in Paris France, became a tourist hotspot, famed for its neon-lit red light district, its glimpses into ‘Paris by night,’ and its array of adult shows and shops, it was something else entirely. It was a haven of creativity, a place where art, music, and dance thrived, legends gathered, and the spirit of rebellion thrived. Imagine its narrow streets teeming with inspiration, its cabarets glowing with life, and its history pouring into every corner. Now, this energy is captured in a fragrance like no other. Explore it in The Vibrant Red Of Pigalle In Rouge Smoking Extrait.

Pigalle’s story is woven with moments of daring and creativity. Picture Henri Toulouse-Lautrec painting the vivid nightlife, his works immortalizing its electric spirit. This was the neighbourhood that nurtured Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh, where André Breton shaped surrealism, and where Josephine Baker opened her first nightclub, just steps from Breton’s apartment.

In the 1930s, Jazz pioneer Adelaide Hall made Pigalle her stage, opening La Grosse Pomme, a nightclub that pulsed with music, while jazz genius Django Reinhardt enchanted audiences in neighbouring clubs. The Grand Guignol Theatre added its provocative flair, thrilling audiences with its boundary-pushing productions. Truly, Pigalle was not only a neighbourhood but also the muse for every artist who dared to dream boldly.

This may seem like an unusual inspiration for a fragrance, but when you consider the history Pigalle holds, the sensual undercurrents, the vibrant energy, and the evocative glow of its red-lit nights, it begins to make perfect sense. This fiery hue, synonymous with the district’s spirit, is where BDK Parfums found its muse for Rouge Smoking and now its bolder sibling, Rouge Smoking Extrait.

Let’s step back to where it all began. Rouge Smoking celebrated Parisian sensuality without flowers, a fragrance of emancipation and modernity. It paid tribute to YSL’s timeless couture genius, combining Woody notes, Musk, and a powdery veil to create a liberating and gourmand scent. In Pigalle, Cherry and Vanilla danced boldly with Tonka Bean, crafting a skin fragrance like no other.

Now, Rouge Smoking Extrait takes this legacy and deepens it. You’ll feel it reimagining the Cherry, Amber, and Tonka Bean accord with richer intensity, embodying Pigalle’s unapologetic vibrancy. The top notes, Red Mandarin essence, Napoleon Cherry, and Almond, offer a juicy burst, echoing the thrill of a Parisian night. Indian Pink Peppercorn, Italian Bergamot, and Elemi essence add a spicy rhythm, mirroring Pigalle’s unpredictable charm.

At its heart, Creamy Milk accord, Tonka Bean absolute, and Labdanum absolute envelop you in warmth, evoking Pigalle’s jazz-era pulse. The base, Saffron, Oud Wood from Thailand, Amber Woods, Black Vanilla absolute, and Martinique Rum extract, ground the fragrance in a sensual, intoxicating depth. It’s a scent that lingers, much like Pigalle’s own stories.

Amélie Bourgeois and Margaux Le Paih Guérin, the perfumers behind Rouge Smoking Extrait, poured their passion into every note. Bourgeois saw this as a chance to elevate Cherry to something never explored in niche perfumery. The juicy vibrance of Cherry, the depth of Black Vanilla from Madagascar, and the bold additions of Oud Wood and Saffron create a fragrance that feels alive, just like Pigalle.

Rouge Smoking Extrait feels like stepping into Pigalle itself, alive, bold, and unforgettable. With its smoky sweetness and rich Cherry notes, it wraps you in a warmth that lingers, like the memory of a perfect Parisian night. This isn’t just a perfume you wear, it’s one you live in. So, are you ready to let it draw you in?
