The review

Massad scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Gris Charnel.

Al Wataniah sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gris Charnel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Al Wataniah publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

BDK Parfums Gris Charnel is black tea, fig and cardamom at first, iris at its heart and Tonka Bean, sandalwood and vetiver at the end. Al Wataniah set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • black tea
  • fig
  • cardamom

Heart

  • iris

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • sandalwood
  • vetiver
For the one who lingers over spiced black tea and fig, an elegant, creamy woody-powdery scent balancing cardamom, iris and soft sandalwood.
