First of all...your hair looks absolutely stunning! The colour suits your skin so so much. Secondly...let's talk about the half empty bottle of the extrait😃 Can't wait to get the extrait version in autumn. Gris Charnel is just so stunning. Love the brand in general I must admit😇 thank you, Josephine!
I’m OBSESSED with Gris Charnel and bought it off your recommendation. As a fig and cardamom lover it’s an absolute win. Now I think I need to try the extrait 😍 thank you for reviewing!!
What makes the original Gris Charnel successful to me is its delicate balance between fresh, woody, and spicy. The extrait version just leans too hard into the balmy and the dry cardamom for me and therefore seems unbalanced.
I have tried both, and I have to say, for me it is too hard to decide. Like choosing between 2 children…they are from the same family and have a lot of similarities, but each is also totally unique. The original in me comes across very sweet and almost cloying, but also sooo creamy and addictive. A real attractor if men. The extrait on me has no cloying sweetness, and is more masculine, but you get all the beautiful notes plus some new facets. This is the cuddle up by the fire frag for me, and yes, you still get some of that addictive creaminess. I guess I want both?!?! 🤷♀️
Thank you Josephine! I blind bought the Extrait as I haven’t tried the original before. You’re absolutely right it’s woody, sweet and so sexy! I’ll be buying a sample of the original to try this is a stunner
Great video! I have both, and have to say that I do prefer the original over the extrait simply because of the FULL composition. The dry down of the extrait is fantastic, but over all performance goes to the original. LOVE your channel!!!
I recall Josephine mentioning Gris Charnel in many of her videos and wanted to check an actual review of it. I did and today I got the original. It is so gorgeous. I went to the perfume store and smelled it out of curiosity. In love. Thank you for the recommendation!
Great review, Josephine, thank you! I have worn the orignal Gris Charnel for a while now and really enjoy it, so I bought the Extrait, and I absolutely LOVE it! I will continue to wear both, but lately I’m going for the Extrait most of the time.
--- I just received the 2 samples that I bought from BDK. I immediately fell in love with the original Gris Charnel 🥲 It's such a beautiful fragrance, so warm & cozy, but not sugary, not a sweet, no vanity, and yet so warm. It's just amazing. The extrait is powdery on me. It's a little more mature, almost vintage. Its like I've smelled it before. I prefer the original by far.
Well…. I ordered the BDK purse sample set of three, as one is Gris Charnel. I was ordering a FB after an hour of wearing it. Because of this review, I ordered the original. It was evening when I sprayed it and I just woke up and it’s still very present. 👍🏼♥️
I have only tried a sample of the original and I love it so much and looking to buy a full bottle but wanted to hear more about the extrait. Thanks for the review because I think the original will still be the right fit for me, since I find it strong and sexy enough. Thanks Josephine!
I never liked the original Gris charnel since I don't like the note of fig in fragrances and that one on my skin smelled really intense of figs. I've sampled a couple of weeks ago the extrait version and I must say I enjoyed it more. The smell of fig is still there, but not so intense and it is much woodier, which I prefer. I also got some smokiness maybe from the black tea or vetiver, but it was overall a nice smell. Thank you for the video!
Just got the Extrait. I loved the Original Gris when I went to Chicago in April but I decided since I love warmer tones the Extrait was the better way to go….I was not wrong at all lol Amazing vid and breakdown !!
I ADORE Gris Charnel so I will have to sample the extrait. I enjoy patchouli and hesitate with vanilla but hearing it is more lactonic makes it sound perfect for me.
I was waiting for this video. Thank you! As I do not have either will probably go for the original Gris Charnel, because I know I will love it. And btw just bought Hibiscus Palm on your recommendation and I absolutely Love it! Thank you Josephine! Love you!
I still haven’t tried the original but I need to! The extrait sounds wonderful too although I’m really not a fan of patchouli. I always look forward to your videos Josephine!🥰
I am sooooo happy that I found your channel!! I have learned so much from your experiences and reviews. There is only one other youtuber that I can tolerate in regards to perfumes. That being said, because of you I bought travel size samples of both the original and extrait and am OBSESSED with the way both smell on my skin!! I also prefer the dry-down of the extrait but use both depending on my mood. Unfortunately, neither last as long on my skin as it does yours but I don't mind topping off *giggles. Once again, thank you so much for time and thoughts on these and other fragrances in general. Always a pleasure watching you!
Love your videos, and your love for gris charnel made me buy a sample. And I’m so glad I did! Your description as well as the one on the website sounded delectable . But I don’t know if it’s my skin or nose…I got a very very peppery spicy scent (not what I would call cardamom bc I associate that with a sweetness) with vétiver in the background (this part I liked). There was a strong woody scent I couldn’t identify That I found off putting (patchouli ?). But it is strong! Lasted 11 hours after I tried to wash it off in the shower. The dry down was more pleasant for me. Maybe it’ll grow on me, but I’m afraid to spray it again 😅
Bought a bottle of the original for Christmas... and a decant of extrait when it came out. For me, a 10ml decant of extrait will last a long while. It's getting hot where I live but my plan is to layer or mix the two come fall. Love them both but don't need two big bottles. Now... if the extrait came in a smaller bottle🤔🤔🤔
I haven’t tried the original but I did get a sample of the extrait and I love the scent combined with the smokiness it has to it. It has some depth and should be perfect for fall and winter. Ordered from Harrods right away.
This is an extremely well-done video. I only have a sample of the original. I'll have to try it again. I think I would like it better than the extrait as I am not a fan of tonka and vanilla. (oooh...sacriilege!)
I've only smelt the original & while I love that opening, the dry down reminds me of wet bandaid for some reason. Naturally, nobody want to smell like wet bandaids; so I thought I'd pass it to my gf or mom, and they both hated it. Had to ultimately sell it off.
Can you please try and also give your opinion of whether the various fragrances you're talking about seem: unisex, Clearly Men or Women, or Tending towards Men or Women.
So glad I am not the only one. Everyone is so into santal 33 but to me it is pure pickle juice. I have had others go that way to me too. But this never fails
I am very curious to try the extrait. I already have the original and I love it. Jus, between Gris Charnel Extrait and Lune. Feline, what would tou choose? Are they in the same vibe?!
Jus, one year ago you said this perfume is nothing special. I watched worth the hype video and I didn’t buy it because of it. Did you change your mind? Because now you say you love it so much
@@jusderose Oh okey thanks alot! Helped me choose, Btw have you tried the chanel gabrielle and the chanel gabrielle essence. I am also torn between those 2 which one to choose. Since I hope the essence has black currant in it as people say the original alredy has. Love black currant. And one perfume I would love for you to do a review on is the woman intense by ralph lauren! Would be great.
I love the original. I have a sample of the extrait but I'm not keen to spend £250 when the original is £150 and they are similar enough. I'm not sure I see £100 worth of extra value for the extrait. Do you? Am I missing something?
Ahhh! For a minute there I thought it said Chanel. I was like what? I didn't hear about Chanel releasing a new fragrance. than when I clicked on the thumbnail, I was like oh! It's Gris Charnel. LOL! Anyways great review as always.
The way you say « gris charnel » sounds like you speak french ! I didn’t ear any french accent in your english. Du coup je suis curieuse! 😉 les revues sont très bien. Ici je passe mon tour car gris charnel et moi on ne s’entend pas bien. Bonne soirée

Thank you 🥰 the bottle was kindly lent to me, I couldn’t go through it that fast even though it’s good 😂
@@jusderose must admit, I am a bit relieved 😅🙃😘
Ooh I can’t wait to try the extrait because I LOVE the original. It’s in my top 10 of all time
The new extrait is fab ❤️
I miss your fragrance videos, Marlena!
I finde the extrait more masculine, i like the original more for me and the extrait for my boyfriend. Both are stunning and i love them.
I’m OBSESSED with Gris Charnel and bought it off your recommendation. As a fig and cardamom lover it’s an absolute win. Now I think I need to try the extrait 😍 thank you for reviewing!!
Yay so happy to hear you like the original too ❤️
What makes the original Gris Charnel successful to me is its delicate balance between fresh, woody, and spicy. The extrait version just leans too hard into the balmy and the dry cardamom for me and therefore seems unbalanced.
I am obsessed with Gris Charnel, I cannot stop smelling this!

I just got a 10ML decant of the original and I’m completely blown away. This scent is so addictive and elegant.

Same. The fig in EDP is amazing

I bought the original thanks to your review. One of the best scents I have ever put my nose on.
i knew the answer soon as the video started. extrait came out afterward and its already half gone
Thanks to your review I just purchased Gris Charnel. And I’ll probably buy the extrait before autumn arrives. 😁 Absolutely love your channel! ❣️☺️
Great review, Josephine, thank you! I have worn the orignal Gris Charnel for a while now and really enjoy it, so I bought the Extrait, and I absolutely LOVE it! I will continue to wear both, but lately I’m going for the Extrait most of the time.
Gris Charnel Original .... oh my word ❤❤❤.....
I just smelled the original on a friend. Immediately came here to listen to your review. Thank you for always having great reviews. ❤️

Thanks for another great review. The original is so soothing and comforting
Absolutely agree with you! I like the opening better in the original and love the dry down in the extrait.
Then.. I need both of them 😅
How do you not have millions of subscribers ? The best content, editing, information
That's very kind of you to say thank you!
Thank you Josephine. I have been waiting for this review! I am going for the original Gris Charnel.
Incredible thumbnail. You're the thumbnail Queen
Thank you ❤️
Hey JDR, can u do a vid of Mancera Cedrat Boise vs Cedrat Boise Intense? Would love to hear your opinion ❤️
Well…. I ordered the BDK purse sample set of three, as one is Gris Charnel. I was ordering a FB after an hour of wearing it. Because of this review, I ordered the original. It was evening when I sprayed it and I just woke up and it’s still very present. 👍🏼♥️

Amazing review 👏🏻 thank you!
Hi josephine , i love all your videos 😀😀
Can you please make buying guide for Bdk ?
Thanks 😇😇
Very useful, as I was just contemplating which one to try first.
Even if I don't like certain fragrance you make me want to buy it..
I can listen to you all day 😊

Nice! What a brief and concise review of the perfume.🙂❤️
Excellent review
Mam,Please do a review on Gucci a winter melody.its a absolutely stunning fragrance.
Oooo I love your videos! Loveeeee I want both
I bought Gris Charnel thanks to you 😘 and now when you mentioned “Almond milkiness” I’m sure I will get also the extract 😁
I ADORE Gris Charnel so I will have to sample the extrait. I enjoy patchouli and hesitate with vanilla but hearing it is more lactonic makes it sound perfect for me.
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️
Such a great comparison review! Thank you, dear Josephine. 💜
Thank you beautiful ❤️
Thank you for reviewing this scent. I will sample this for the Fall🙏🏿😊
Everything is labeled unisex nowadays but which do you think is more suited for a man? And then do you think the original is better for everyday use?
I was waiting for this video. Thank you! As I do not have either will probably go for the original Gris Charnel, because I know I will love it. And btw just bought Hibiscus Palm on your recommendation and I absolutely Love it! Thank you Josephine! Love you!
Oh yay for hibiscus palm! I think I may finish my bottle this summer :D
I will be trying both buying one
I was waiting for this review😁
I still haven’t tried the original but I need to! The extrait sounds wonderful too although I’m really not a fan of patchouli. I always look forward to your videos Josephine!🥰
Thank you Jill ❤️

I completely agree with this video. Please, make a video about the best GRAPEFRUIT perfumes for summer
I like both but the original is my fav, I have both but the new one is just wood and dark. Nothing like the original
bought both, unreal scents
Thank you for sharing your video
I always look forward to your videos. I never liked the original Gris Charnel, but I love the new extrait. Whatever suits you, right?
Absolutely!
I am 100% agree with you, so I would like both perfumes in my collection🤣🫣
oh the extrait sounds great for a winter scent im looking for the perfect fall/winter scent i dont own any of these yet
Have you tried Henry Rose fragrances? Please do a review, they are amazing!!

could you please do best fragrances under 100$....thanks xx

I need a sample of the Extrait, PRONTO!
The video just started and I think the dent in the extrait tells us all we need to know 😂
This is an extremely well-done video. I only have a sample of the original. I'll have to try it again. I think I would like it better than the extrait as I am not a fan of tonka and vanilla. (oooh...sacriilege!)
Thank you ❤️
Would you say the extrait is similar to Amouage Guidance in the dry-down?
Masculine or feminine? Everything is unisex these days but can’t even tell if it’s meant for men or women. It’s a best seller at my local scent bar.
I've only smelt the original & while I love that opening, the dry down reminds me of wet bandaid for some reason. Naturally, nobody want to smell like wet bandaids; so I thought I'd pass it to my gf or mom, and they both hated it. Had to ultimately sell it off.
Can you please try and also give your opinion of whether the various fragrances you're talking about seem: unisex, Clearly Men or Women, or Tending towards Men or Women.
Great for an ambient perfume, perfect for a luxury spa or hotel! Personally, I wouldn't want to smell like cardamom, black tea and fig.
I absolutely prefer the original.
Sonia Constant va être ravie d'entendre cela. :)
GC is an absolute champ 🤩
nice Perfume and good presentation
Thank you!
@@jusderose welcome
Guys get lattafas - liam grey😮😮
Its a great and cheap alternative of Gris charnel. Its like mix of ysl - la nui and Dior homme intense. Just wooooooow
Gives me my Santal 33 fix without smelling too much like pickles
So glad I am not the only one. Everyone is so into santal 33 but to me it is pure pickle juice. I have had others go that way to me too. But this never fails
I needed to watch this video! Wasn’t sure if I should go for the extrait as I own the original. Now definitely on my wish list
I have Gris Charnel EDP 😊
I am very curious to try the extrait. I already have the original and I love it. Jus, between Gris Charnel Extrait and Lune. Feline, what would tou choose? Are they in the same vibe?!
Very different. Lune feline is super smoky and more vanilla dominant
Not for white shirts . .
Hi, Jus! ❤ How come your extrait has such a huge dent already? 😅
I borrowed the bottle for this review that why :)
Have you heard of exaltè by Fummi Monet? I’d really love to hear your thoughts on it. ❤️
I haven't no..
Jus, one year ago you said this perfume is nothing special. I watched worth the hype video and I didn’t buy it because of it. Did you change your mind? Because now you say you love it so much
I did indeed... I ended up purchasing it sometime last year and haven't looked back since haha
I have the original no creo necessary the newest version, just my opinion
Josephine do you see this as a unisex perfume or more for women?
Unisex with the original leaning more feminine
@@jusderose superbe merci 😉
Is Gris Charnel unisex?
Hey I really need advice, Which of the dior addict edp (blue one) vs good girl carolina herrera is the best one in your opinion?
Difficult to say... GG is more mass appealing so easier to like vs Dior one is maybe a little more mature and creamier. Both are great
@@jusderose Oh okey thanks alot! Helped me choose, Btw have you tried the chanel gabrielle and the chanel gabrielle essence. I am also torn between those 2 which one to choose. Since I hope the essence has black currant in it as people say the original alredy has. Love black currant. And one perfume I would love for you to do a review on is the woman intense by ralph lauren! Would be great.
@@Anonymous11Jj You're welcome! I haven't tried the two Chanel fragrances side by side so couldn't say sorry!
I NEED to get my nose on these two
So basically we need to buy both 😭🤣
Is this Unisex or more feminine?
I love the original. I have a sample of the extrait but I'm not keen to spend £250 when the original is £150 and they are similar enough. I'm not sure I see £100 worth of extra value for the extrait. Do you? Am I missing something?
I think if you’re already very happy with the original you don’t need the extrait
I'm now obsessed with cardamom in my fragrances!
Ahhh! For a minute there I thought it said Chanel. I was like what? I didn't hear about Chanel releasing a new fragrance. than when I clicked on the thumbnail, I was like oh! It's Gris Charnel. LOL! Anyways great review as always.
Haha thanks!

I think she is Swiss ❤ but lived a long time in Asia, now in UK
Oui je suis franco-suisse!
You are right!
Alors un petit coucou de France 😉!
Lula Mills
both is unisex
You can get the original half the price at discounters. So the extrait not worth double the price? 😂
Which discounters?
Zulauf Cove
How come you are missing so much of the extrait already 😳🤪
I borrowed the bottle for this video 😊
Can men wear this?
Yes. Both are unisex, with the Extrait version leaning more masculine. I am a man and I have the EDP version because I found a good deal.
lol with that nice dent in the extrait i know which one :P
Or imagine Dove soap
