Founder and History
The face behind the BDK Parfums brand is David Benedek . He was born in Paris in 1989 and has lived in the world of perfume ever since. Today he is one of the youngest perfume designers in the luxury perfume industry . His grandparents passed their passion on to him. They were exiles from Transylvania and built a new life for themselves in Paris. In the 1950s they were one of the first perfume distributors to be allowed to sell perfume in Paris, including major brands such as Worth and Christian Dior. Later, however, they focused on selling to travelers. Fine luxury perfumes and niche products that Paris had to offer made up their product range and made them famous. In the 1960s they opened their first boutique on the corner of Rue Royal and Rue Saint Honoré. They continually refined their passion, expertise and salesmanship and passed it on to their grandson David.

From studying economics to perfumery and the founding of BDK Parfums
David Benedek initially immersed himself in economics and management studies. He studied in New York and Beijing before returning to France and joining the Institut Français de la Mode in 2012. This marked the launch of his career in the perfume world, but his interest in perfume dates back to his childhood. The founder of BDK Parfums recounts that his grandmother first inspired him to become a perfumer. She told him a story about each of her perfumes, and he set this as his goal.
His study of raw materials, the various fragrance families, and the dosage of concentration for certain perfume blends spanned a year. Working alongside one of the world's leading perfumers, Givaudan , and the Cinquième Sens perfume institute, he memorized the art of perfumery and developed an insatiable desire to create his own luxury perfumes.
Thus, in 2016, the Maison de Parfums BDK Parfums was born and a family tradition was continued.
The exceptional premium perfumes will now be created in Paris's first district. The magnificent Palais Royal and the picturesque garden landscape are nearby – the perfect idyll and inspiration for the unique fragrances of BDK Parfums. To create his special niche fragrances from Paris, he collaborates with world-renowned niche perfumers, including Mathilde Bijaoui, Amélie Bourgeois, Camille Leguay, Cécile Matton, Serge Majouillier, and Violaine Collas.
The extraordinary fragrances of BDK Parfums
The exclusive niche fragrances from BDK Parfums are true masterpieces of perfumery—each creation is unique, embodying high-quality raw materials and exceptional origin stories. These fragrances possess a soul inspired by expressive characters, fleeting moments, or formative encounters.
Each fragrance in the BDK collection tells its own story, embedded in a universe of fantasy and reality. They form a sophisticated collection in which no two scents are alike. BDK Parfums does not follow a pre-established formula, which is a high priority in the world of luxury perfumes. It would be a faux pas to force these fragrances into standard forms – rather, their exclusivity is preserved and emphasized through meticulous craftsmanship.

Made in France: Exclusive perfume art in every detail
Each BDK Parfums bottle is a masterpiece in its own right. The perfume bottles, with their gold or black caps, represent the French savoir-faire and craftsmanship that go into their production. The beveled edges of the bottle, crafted by a master glassblower, underscore the minimalist and elegant style. The bottle is refined through a firing process, creating a rare transparency that showcases the fragrance in a particularly artistic way.
-
Craftsmanship and design: The bottle as a true masterpiece
The bottle labels are applied by hand in a print shop in the Marais, and the gold cap was inspired by a master goldsmith in Paris—reflecting the dome of the Grand Palais, considered a repository for French treasures. Just as the dome of the Grand Palais protects precious treasures, the gold bottle cap preserves the luxurious fragrances of BDK Parfums.
How BDK Parfums gives its luxury fragrances a soul
BDK Parfums pursues a unique approach to the creation of its exclusive luxury fragrances, using the perfumer in the pharmacy as a metaphor for the creative process. With a precise selection of raw materials and a loving, almost artisanal technique, fragrances are created that not only offer olfactory experiences, but also carry a true soul within them.
-
The creation process: luxury fragrances that tell their own story.
The philosophy of BDK Parfums begins with a raw material that serves as the heart of the perfume. This central component is combined with other precious ingredients, creating distinctive fragrance stamps that maintain the perfect balance between the various components. This creates fragrances whose complexity exudes an extraordinary sillage that cannot be squeezed into a conventional form – each fragrance is a work of olfactory art with its own unique character.
BDK Parfums' perfumes are inspired by their creators, who see their fragrances as personalities. Each fragrance allows the wearer to express their own spirit and tell an individual story, which, with the choice of fragrance, becomes a special journey.

Craftsmanship excellence in Grasse
The quality of the raw materials and the manufacturing process are of utmost importance to BDK Parfums. The luxurious perfumes are crafted in Grasse, France, the world capital of perfumery, using the finest ingredients and under the highest standards. All raw materials are processed into concentrates, which are then incorporated into the exclusive fragrances. The creative process is never rushed; the work only ends when all elements combine to create a harmonious fragrance.
-
The preferred raw material: musk
David Benedek, founder of BDK Parfums, has a particular favorite among raw materials: musk. This penetrating yet sensual ingredient is at the heart of many of Benedek's fragrances. The diverse facets of musk—from pure and clean to animalic and wild—make it an indispensable component of BDK perfumes. Especially in the Collection Matières, each fragrance is dedicated to a unique raw material, highlighting its essence.
BDK Parfums masterfully combines luxury, craftsmanship, and exceptional raw materials to create fragrances that not only enchant the senses but also tell stories.
Distinctive luxury fragrances for women and men
BDK Parfums has carved out a unique place for itself in the world of premium niche fragrances, thanks in large part to founder David Benedek's visionary understanding of the comfort and meaning of perfume. For Benedek, a perfume is more than just a scent—it's an experience that is individual and unique to each person. BDK Parfums fragrances are an expression of this philosophy and are intended to feel like a "second skin" that envelops the wearer and tells a personal story.
-
Unmistakable fragrances made from high-quality raw materials
A high-quality perfume can be recognized by the exquisite raw materials used in its composition. David Benedek is known for his attention to detail and his high standards for the quality of his ingredients, which is why each perfume is made from carefully selected, natural materials. These raw materials form the basis for fragrances that are not only pleasant to wear, but also create a deeper, personal connection with the wearer.

Press reviews
Vogue
"Some gifts you have to give yourself, and BDK Parfums's addictive scent, Gris Charnel, is the ultimate personal indulgence. Its notes of fig, black tea, and Bourbon vetiver are as decadent as a bonbon, but there's plenty of iris and sandalwood to enjoy too. It's a grown-up fragrance that sparkles with its fruit touches which add the right mix of sophistication and whimsy. Inspired by the history and vibrancy found in Paris's arrondissements, Gris Charnel will make you feel like you're stepping intoBelle du Jouras opposed toEmily in Paris."

"You have the opportunity to discover the new fragrances in the house in September. Rouge Smoking and Crème de Cuir integrate the family Bdk Parfums Paris. Au premier spary and diffusion on the skin, Rouge Smoking me conquered. Au delà de sa couleur rouge vibrant m'évoquant un rouge à lèvre intense or encore une pièce du dressing intemporelle. This perfume couture me comble avec son accord sucré/musqué.”
"Last September, I had the opportunity to discover one of the house's two new fragrances. Rouge Smoking and Crème de Cuir complement the BDK Parfums Paris family.
From the first spray and application on my skin, Rouge Smoking captivated me. Aside from its vibrant red color, which reminds me of an intense lipstick or a timeless wardrobe item, this couture fragrance fills me with its sweet, musky accord.
