What does Gris Charnel smell like?

Gris Charnel is a unisex perfume by BDK Parfums built on a tea and fig idea. It opens with fig, black tea and cardamom. The heart lists iris, bourbon and tea, and the base settles on sandalwood, vetiver and cashmeran. Its accords run from woody and warm spicy through aromatic and powdery to fruity, sweet and green. A clone has three things to match: the tea and cardamom opening, the iris heart and the woody base. Each Parfumo vote below was cast on a page that sets the clone against this very perfume.

The Extrait version

10ML also stocks Gris Charnel Extrait, an Extrait de Parfum composed by Mathilde Bijaoui. It lists cardamom and fig on top, black tea and iris in the heart, and tonka, sandalwood and vetiver at the base. A 3ml decant is 10,71 € and a 10ml decant is 28,62 €. The clone votes below concern Gris Charnel itself, not the Extrait.

Wear the original first

Before you pick a clone bottle, wear the perfume it is chasing. The 3ml decant of Gris Charnel is 10,71 €, at 3,57 €/ml, and lasts for about 60 sprays. The 10ml decant is 28,62 €, at 2,86 €/ml, and lasts for about 200 sprays.

The clone bottles priced in the table below are all 100ml, so each costs less per ml than either decant. A bottle is still the bigger commitment, which is why the original makes a useful yardstick first.

Liam by Lattafa leads because far more voters back it than any other clone here. It lists cardamom, black tea and fig on top, which are the same three notes the original opens with. It also lists iris and vetiver in the heart and sandalwood in the base, so it covers the tea opening, the iris heart and the woody base.

The main difference is what Liam adds. Its heart brings labdanum, and its base adds vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli to the sandalwood. It does not list the original's cashmeran.

This one fits a reader who wants the biggest vote base and does not mind vanilla and patchouli joining the woods. Pick it when those additions sound better to you than cashmeran.

Our basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 695 of 752 users finding Gris Charnel and Liam similar. Parfumo dates Liam to 2023.

Francique 63.55 by French Avenue adds the fewest notes of the six. It lists cardamom, black tea and fig on top, iris and bourbon vetiver in the heart, and sandalwood and tonka bean at the base. That matches the original's cardamom, black tea, fig, iris, sandalwood and vetiver.

The main difference is one addition. Tonka bean is the only note it lists that the original does not, and it lists no cashmeran.

This one fits a reader who wants the published list to stay nearest the original's, with no vanilla or coconut added. One caution: 36 of 39 is a modest sample next to Liam's vote base, so read closest as a vote line, not a verdict.

The basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 36 of 39 users finding Gris Charnel and Francique 63.55 similar. Parfumo shows no release year for it.

Antique by Lattafa shares black tea, fig and cardamom with the original, plus iris, vetiver and sandalwood. It sits in Lattafa's Niche Emarati line.

The main difference is the sweetness written into the notes. Coconut and milk join the top, jasmine joins the heart, and the base adds amber, musk, tonka bean and caramel. It does not list the original's cashmeran.

This one fits a reader who wants to push the original towards a creamier, dessert-like profile. Pick it when coconut, milk and caramel appeal more than a dry tea opening. The label rests on those listed notes alone.

The vote is strong: Parfumo's comparison page shows 98 of 110 users finding Gris Charnel and Antique similar. Parfumo shows no release year for it.

Al Noor by Arabiyat Prestige shares cardamom, fig, iris and vetiver with the original. Its list opens with cardamom, nutmeg and saffron.

The main difference is the darker, spicier frame. Cistus and labdanum sit in the heart beside green fig, vetiver and iris, and the base lists leather, patchouli, vanilla and tonka bean. Going by the lists, it drops the original's black tea and sandalwood.

This one fits a reader who wants leather and patchouli under the iris. Pick it when saffron and leather on the list appeal more than tea. The darker label comes from the list alone.

The vote is smaller: Parfumo's comparison page shows 27 of 34 users finding Gris Charnel and Al Noor similar. Parfumo dates Al Noor to 2025, and the table shows no EU list price for it.

Midnight by MAD Parfumeur shares fig and cardamom with the original. Its list is short: fig tree and cardamom on top, lactone and cedarwood in the heart, and tonka bean and vanilla at the base.

The main difference is what it leaves out. It lists no black tea, iris, vetiver or sandalwood, so on paper there is less of the tea and iris structure and more of a milky, vanilla finish.

This one fits a reader who prefers a short, creamy list to a layered one. Pick it when lactone and vanilla appeal more than iris. The softer label comes from that short list alone.

The vote is modest: Parfumo's comparison page shows 40 of 48 users finding Gris Charnel and Midnight similar. Parfumo shows no release year for it, and the table shows no EU list price.

Iris Palladium by Les Eaux Primordiales shares cardamom, iris and sandalwood with the original. It comes from a niche house and has the highest bottle price in the table.

The main difference is that the list leaves the tea and fig behind. Lavender and coriander join cardamom on top, mugwort and violet sit beside the iris, and the base lists vanilla, amber, benzoin, gaiac wood and cedarwood with the sandalwood. Going by the lists, the vote and the notes only partly overlap here, so read it as an iris and sandalwood cousin.

This one fits a reader for whom iris is the heart of the original and the tea matters less. Pick it when you want a niche bottle built on iris.

The basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 74 of 112 users finding Gris Charnel and Iris Palladium similar. Parfumo dates it to 2024.

What every clone gets wrong

Every clone wanders off in its own direction. Liam adds vanilla and patchouli, Antique adds coconut and caramel, Al Noor adds saffron and leather, and Midnight and Iris Palladium drop the tea altogether. Francique 63.55 drifts least on paper.

A vote line records what users judged similar, not what happens on your skin. No comparison page can say how the fig sits against the tea, or how the iris and woods feel late in the day. Each gap listed above is a reason to know the original on your own skin first.

Bottle or decant: how to weigh them

Bottle and decant answer different questions. Buy a bottle once you know the style is yours. Choose a decant while you are still learning how it behaves on you.

Hold the decant's per-ml figures from the section above against the dated clone prices in the table, all for 100ml bottles. Al Noor and Midnight show no EU list price there, so they have no per-ml figure.

Three guides sit behind this choice: the price per ml index for the sums, decant vs full bottle for when each format pays off, and what a perfume decant is for the basics.

Similar originals 10ML sells

Four perfumes in our catalogue sit close to the original on tea, fig or iris. None is part of the clone ranking.

• Thé Noir 29 by Le Labo, from 2015, opens with fig, bergamot and bay leaf. Black pepper, black tea and rose form the heart, and the base lists amber, cedarwood, hay, musk, tobacco and vetiver.
• Eau Duelle by Diptyque, from 2010, lists bergamot, pink pepper, elemi and saffron on top. Juniper, cardamom and black tea sit in the heart, over bourbon vanilla, musk, ambergris and cypriol.
• Wulóng Chá by Nishane, an Extrait de Parfum from 2015, begins with bergamot, orange, mandarin orange and litsea cubeba. Its heart is oolong tea and nutmeg, and fig and musk close it.
• Iris Debonair by Creed, from 2026, lists bergamot, lavender, pink pepper and violet leaf on top, iris, orris and violet in the heart, and amberwood, musk and sandalwood at the base. Parfumo's comparison page shows 53 of 108 users finding Gris Charnel and Iris Debonair similar, a modest share. Our Creed Iris Debonair sample guide shows how to wear it in 3ml first.

How to test a dupe

Judge on skin, never on a paper strip. Paper shows the first fig and cardamom flash but not what the tea and iris do once they meet your warmth.

Wear the original on one wrist on one day, then a clone on the same spot another day, with the same number of sprays. Wait until each has settled before you judge the woods underneath. Take the opening, the iris heart and the base as three separate checks.

Jot down what you notice rather than trusting memory. Did Liam's vanilla take over? Did Antique's coconut change the mood you expected? With Al Noor, does leather now outweigh the tea?

A 3ml or 10ml decant of the original is your fixed point. Repeat the comparison across several days, then decide whether a clone bottle earns shelf space. The same routine works on another sweet, woody perfume in our Montale Arabians Tonka dupes guide, and the perfume dupes hub lists more.
