Wear the original BDK Parfums Gris Charnel in a 3ml or 10ml decant before you buy a clone. By [Antoine Mercier](https://10ml.com/authors/antoine-mercier) · 9 November 2026 · 9 min read **We sell only the originals.** Every perfume we sell is the authentic original, decanted from the perfume house’s own bottle. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. We never sell dupes, clones or inspired-by perfumes. This guide compares the dupes other houses make of Gris Charnel, so you can choose, or wear the original first.

Closest on the dry-down is Francique 63.55 by French Avenue, on a smaller 36 of 39 vote. Want the real thing? [Gris Charnel](https://10ml.com/perfumes/bdk-parfums-gris-charnel) is €28.62 for a 10ml decant at 10ML.

[Gris Charnel](https://10ml.com/perfumes/bdk-parfums-gris-charnel) is a unisex perfume by BDK Parfums built on a tea and fig idea. It opens with fig, black tea and [cardamom](https://10ml.com/notes/cardamom). The heart lists [iris](https://10ml.com/notes/iris), bourbon and tea, and the base settles on [sandalwood](https://10ml.com/notes/sandalwood), [vetiver](https://10ml.com/notes/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](https://10ml.com/perfumes/bdk-parfums-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](https://10ml.com/notes/tonka-bean), 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. ## Gris Charnel alternatives compared Bottle prices in other shops, as checked 6 November 2026 Perfumes made and sold by other houses. 10ML does not sell them. | # | Alternative | Role | Basis of comparison | Source | Bottle price | Per ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Liam (Lattafa) | Best overall | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/liam) | €23.82 (100 ml) | €0.24/ml | | 2 | Francique 63.55 (French Avenue) | Closest on the dry-down | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/french-avenue/francique-63-55) | €35.00 (100 ml) | €0.35/ml | | 3 | Antique (Lattafa) | Sweeter take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/antique) | €29.90 (100 ml) | €0.30/ml | | 4 | Al Noor (Arabiyat Prestige) | Darker take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/arabiyat-prestige/al-noor) | No EU price | — | | 5 | Midnight (MAD Parfumeur) | Softer take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/mad-parfumeur/midnight) | No EU price | — | | 6 | Iris Palladium (Les Eaux Primordiales) | Premium alternative | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Les_Eaux_Primordiales/iris-palladium-2024) | €190.00 (100 ml) | €1.90/ml | ## Best overall: Liam 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/liam). Parfumo dates Liam to 2023. ## Closest on the dry-down: Francique 63.55 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/french-avenue/francique-63-55). Parfumo shows no release year for it. ## Sweeter take: Antique 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/antique). Parfumo shows no release year for it. ## Darker take: Al Noor 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/arabiyat-prestige/al-noor). Parfumo dates Al Noor to 2025, and the table shows no EU list price for it. ## Softer take: Midnight 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/mad-parfumeur/midnight). Parfumo shows no release year for it, and the table shows no EU list price. ## Premium alternative: Iris Palladium 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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Les_Eaux_Primordiales/iris-palladium-2024). Parfumo dates it to 2024. ## Similar original perfumes we stock Three originals that share Gris Charnel's fig, black tea or cardamom notes, each available to wear in a small decant first. | # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Le Labo Thé Noir 29](https://10ml.com/perfumes/le-labo-the-noir-29) | Fig, bergamot and bay leaf over black pepper, black tea and rose, with amber, cedarwood, hay, musk, tobacco and vetiver; woody, spicy and sweet. | €17.55 (€5.85/ml) | €53.10 (€5.31/ml) | | 2 | [Diptyque Eau Duelle](https://10ml.com/perfumes/diptyque-eau-duelle) | Bergamot, pink pepper, elemi and saffron over juniper, cardamom and black tea, with bourbon vanilla, musk, ambergris and cypriol; vanilla, spicy and warm. | €12.51 (€4.17/ml) | €37.26 (€3.73/ml) | | 3 | [Nishane Wulóng Chá](https://10ml.com/perfumes/nishane-wulong-cha) | Bergamot, orange, mandarin orange and litsea cubeba over oolong tea and nutmeg, with fig and musk; citrus, fresh spicy and aromatic. | €12.87 (€4.29/ml) | €39.06 (€3.91/ml) | ## 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](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-price-per-ml-index) for the sums, [decant vs full bottle](https://10ml.com/guides/decant-vs-full-bottle) for when each format pays off, and [what a perfume decant is](https://10ml.com/guides/what-is-a-perfume-decant) 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](https://10ml.com/perfumes/le-labo-the-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](https://10ml.com/perfumes/diptyque-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](https://10ml.com/perfumes/nishane-wulong-cha) 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](https://10ml.com/perfumes/creed-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](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Creed/iris-debonair), a modest share. Our [Creed Iris Debonair sample guide](https://10ml.com/guides/creed-iris-debonair-sample) shows how to wear it in 3ml first. If fig or iris is what draws you, our [fig perfumes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/fig-perfumes) and [iris perfumes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/iris-perfumes) list more perfumes built around them. ## 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](https://10ml.com/guides/arabians-tonka-dupes), and the [perfume dupes hub](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-dupes) lists more. ## Clone or original? What to know first ### Can I wear Gris Charnel in 3ml before choosing a clone? Yes. A 3ml decant of Gris Charnel costs €10.71 and gives about 60 sprays, while a 10ml decant costs €28.62 and gives about 200. Wear the original on several days before deciding whether a clone bottle suits you. ### Which Gris Charnel dupe leads our ranking, and why? Liam by Lattafa leads. On Parfumo's comparison page, 695 of 752 users find it similar to the original, the largest vote base in the list. It lists the same cardamom, black tea and fig on top, but adds labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli. ### How close does Francique 63.55 get to Gris Charnel? On Parfumo's comparison page, 36 of 39 users find the two similar, a modest sample. Its list keeps cardamom, black tea, fig, iris, vetiver and sandalwood and adds only tonka bean. It lists no cashmeran. Judge it against the original on your own skin. ### Does the Gris Charnel Extrait change which clone to choose? The Parfumo votes here were cast against Gris Charnel itself, not the Extrait. The Extrait lists cardamom, fig, black tea, iris, tonka, sandalwood and vetiver, so a 3ml decant of the Extrait at €10.71 next to one of the original lets you compare them before picking a clone. ### Which Gris Charnel clone is sweeter, darker or softer? Going by the published lists, Antique by Lattafa is the sweeter one, adding coconut, milk and caramel. Al Noor by Arabiyat Prestige is the darker one, adding saffron, leather and patchouli. Midnight by MAD Parfumeur is the softer one, with a short list of fig, cardamom, lactone and vanilla. ### How does a Gris Charnel decant compare per ml with a clone bottle? Per ml, every clone bottle with a price in the table costs less than the original: the 10ml decant works out at €2.86/ml and the 3ml at €3.57/ml. A decant is the smaller commitment while you check that the style is yours. ### Which clones share the original's cardamom, black tea and fig? Liam, Francique 63.55 and Antique list cardamom, black tea and fig. Al Noor lists cardamom and fig but not black tea. Midnight lists fig and cardamom only, and Iris Palladium lists cardamom but no fig or tea. ### How long does Gris Charnel last on my skin? Wear depends on your skin and the weather, so there is no single figure to promise. Try a 3ml decant on different days and note how the tea and iris settle on you. ### Does 10ML sell dupes? No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €10.71. ## Sources - [Gris Charnel vs Liam, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/liam) - [Gris Charnel vs Francique 63.55, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/french-avenue/francique-63-55) - [Gris Charnel vs Antique, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lattafa/antique) - [Gris Charnel vs Al Noor, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/arabiyat-prestige/al-noor) - [Gris Charnel vs Midnight, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/mad-parfumeur/midnight) - [Gris Charnel vs Iris Palladium, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Les_Eaux_Primordiales/iris-palladium-2024) - [Gris Charnel vs Iris Debonair, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/bdk_Parfums/gris-charnel-eau-de-parfum/vs/Creed/iris-debonair) ## How we compared Each alternative is ranked by how closely it follows the notes and dry-down of Gris Charnel, on the basis shown for it in the table.
