IL Padrino

Gris Charnel Extrait by BDK Parfums is a richer, deeper, and more sensual interpretation of the beloved original. Concentrated at 30%, this extrait intensifies the signature fig, black tea, and cardamom opening while introducing darker woods, smoky vanilla, and patchouli for added depth. Creamy sandalwood and tonka bean remain at the heart of its addictive identity, creating a fragrance that feels luxurious, magnetic, and unmistakably refined.

How it smells
It smells like warm chai tea and creamy woods dressed in evening elegance. The opening gives spicy cardamom, soft fig sweetness, and aromatic black tea. As it develops, iris adds a velvety texture while cistus creates a resinous warmth. In the drydown, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, cedar, and patchouli become smooth, rich, and seductive. Compared to the original, it is darker, denser, and more powerful with a more sensual trail.

Old-world French polish, effortlessly worn. The Original is the iconic fragrance that launched the legend of Eight & Bob: a timeless scent of effortless sophistication and refined masculinity, blending citrus freshness, spice and smooth woods into a classic signature. Polished, versatile and undeniably upscale, it is luxury in its most understated form.

The Story

The Original is inspired by the private composition of Albert Fouquet, a perfume enthusiast of elite French society in the early twentieth century who blended scents for his own use. In 1937, on the Riviera, an American student, the young John F. Kennedy, admired his scent and asked for a sample; he later wrote back for eight more, plus one for "Bob", and the bottles became known as Eight & Bob.

Crisp citrus freshness and aromatic herbs, with cardamom and pink pepper, give an immediately polished feeling.

Heart
Soft spice, violet leaves, labdanum and dried wood emerge, warm and refined without becoming heavy.

A warm nest of homespun scent, sweet with hay, chamomile and resin. Zoologist Harvest Mouse conjures a countryside bathed in sweet sunlight and home-baked goodness. Stalks of wheat sway among chamomile, davana and hay, while rich beer extract is sobered by resins and woods. It was composed by perfumer Luca Maffei and released in 2023.

The Story

Autumn winds skip across golden wheat fields. As the tall grasses billow, the rattle of husks beats a soft prairie lullaby, signalling to the weary sun to rest. In the fading light, tiny harvest mice venture forth, scrambling to gather seeds and fruits, until the coo of the owl breaks the night and they dash, trembling, back to their nests. Zoologist captures that cosy, golden hour in a fragrance made for curling up in.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright bergamot and a little clove meet soft Roman chamomile and orange blossom.

Heart
Davana and hay absolute give a sun-warmed field note, with rose, benzoin, opoponax and a boozy beer extract adding a sweet, gourmand warmth.

Fir balsam, oakmoss, cedarwood, sandalwood, Peru balsam and vanilla form a resinous, woody and softly sweet nest.

A sunlit hive, dripping gold and humming with life. Zoologist Bee is a unisex extrait that turns the honey-and-flower world of a bee colony into scent: a glossy orange and ginger syrup opening, a heart of broom, heliotrope and mimosa, and a resinous base of benzoin, labdanum, sandalwood and vanilla. It was composed by perfumer Cristiano Canali for Zoologist Perfumes.

The Story

On the surface, a spring day seems still and peaceful. Beneath a blossom-strewn meadow, thousands of bees race for survival, workers ferrying nectar and pollen to the cramped honeycomb cells where drones and larvae are nurtured under a regal queen. In the claustrophobic hive a deafening buzz bears witness to their devotion, not one worker pausing to question its place in the perpetual grind of the queendom. Like the bee's frantic hustle through a maze of multifaceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience: the rich aroma of honey captivates, while alluring florals, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement and the sweet rewards of life. Launched in 2019, it was an Art and Olfaction Awards 2020 Independent Category finalist.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright orange meets a thick ginger syrup and a royal jelly accord, sweet, waxy and glistening.

Heart
Broom, heliotrope, mimosa and orange flower open into a honeyed, pollen-soft floral meadow.

Dry Down
Benzoin and labdanum bring a warm, resinous amber, cushioned by sandalwood, tonka and vanilla over soft musks.
