Stellar Silk

I was on the hunt for something new for the cooler weather so I bought a tester for this and was not impressed at first... until about 45 minutes to an hour went by and this transformed into the most heavenly creamy sophisticated woody vanilla. I couldn’t stop smelling my hand. I immediately ordered a 100ml bottle, yes it was expensive but I have no regrets. It’s been a while since I had that reaction to a fragrance. The dry down is unbelievable. I get excellent longevity 10+ hours on skin, projection seems to be more on the more moderate side but I haven’t had a chance to really put it to the test. I don’t plan on wearing this out until the weather cools down a little more. Unbelievably excited to break this one out on a cool night out.

Hands down 10/10 BDK best Vanilla ever made ! Incredible. Complex, silky, spicy , buttery, spicy, clean...now make it make sense to see these attributes in the same sentence I was blown away, i love this. A success and the best ( and only one i love ) of the house for me together with Charnel Gris Extrait , but this beats it. Absolute masterpiece on any woman or man. Can you tell i'm way beyond excited about this ? i cannot for the love of god put this down, this has not happened in a while to me with perfumes ( let alone BDK, sorry ). It's magnetic and clean and sweet..all the same time ! Stellar Silk is literally the perfect name. It's strong and unique and bold to be "Stellar" but also smooth to be literal silk. woof drooling.

My sales associate introduced me to this fragrance today and I was absolutely floored upon first sniff. I haven't felt this way smelling a perfume in a while and it reminded me of how I felt when I first started getting into niche scents. It is buttery, sweet, smooth and creamy vanilla that has reignited something inside of me again. It feels incredibly complex but clean at the same time. Nuclear projection and incredibly long lasting, I think you can keep it at 2-3 sprays to last you all day without overwhelming everyone around you. I would pick this one up as soon as it hits discounters!

Smooth slight spice opening with ginger, cinnamon but becomes extremely linear afterwards of vanilla sandalwood. Nothing breakthrough or new in terms of profile, reminds me of Gris Charnel without the cardamom except one spray will fill a room and stay for 12+hrs. Sandalwood is not the most mass appealing, coupled with the longevity and sillage I would be very sparing with the sprays or you’re going to be that person. I think if I’m using this I’m actually keeping it to one spray total and layering with something else.

It reminds me of why I love Gris Charnel, not because they smell alike b/c they don't but they give me the same feeling. Both are smooth, comforting, and sophisticated without trying to hard. Stellar Silk just tells that story through vanilla instead of tea and woods. It's still going strong since 1:00 pm today and a lot of sweating and being outside. Smells plush, smooth, and comforting. It's vanilla but not cupcake or bakery kind. It's more of a creamy, airy vanilla wrapped in soft musk. 8.5/10

This is sooooo good. So smooth, so elegant, so sexy, so comforting. I love it. My wife loves it. My daughter loves it. Perhaps slightly feminine leaning, but as a man, I am wearing it effortlessly. Longevity is excellent. I don’t get the strong projection/sillage a few people are describing. It is definitely my favorite of the three new extraits. Silver Ceremony and the Oud one are ... ok. But Stellar Silk is just lovely 🥰. 10/10 and a Fragrantica score of 4.45 from me.

Just WOW!! Gorgeous blended tonka perfume, elegantly sweet and powdery vanilla! Jordi Fernandez is on a roll with this one and Ambre Latte Essential Perfumes - new type of gourmand moderately sweet...Recommend!

Idk if it’s only me but this is sooooooo similar to kayali vanilla oudgasm like super super similar i sprayed both on my arms and kept sniffing and it’s just so similar Bdk is a woodier

To me, it does not remind me of Gris charnel at all. Imagine a cascade of velvety vanilla and butter flowing like a fountain over delicate wood shavings

Best vanilla scent ever - smooth, addictive but not overly sweet. New favourite.

Wasn't expecting much from the name tbh — sounded like it could go either way. Turned out to be one of the better surprises from this new BDK trilogy. Opens with cardamom, a little spicy and sharp for the first few minutes, then melts into a warm creamy sandalwood that genuinely feels like skin rather than perfume. Iris underneath adds depth without going powdery. Dry-down is mostly vanilla and white musk — soft, close, intimate. This isn't loud and isn't trying to be. Projection stays close to skin, longevity is solid (7-8 hours), and the whole thing reads more personal than statement-making. If you want something that announces itself, skip this one. Of the three Absolu releases, Stellar Silk is the warmest and most wearable for daily use — Oud Paradisio is darker and bolder, Silver Ceremony sits in between. I run Scent Syndicate (www.scentsyndicate.com) and we've got this one in stock if anyone's hunting for it in the US. Longevity: 7-8 hours Sillage: Intimate Gender: Unisex Season: Fall/Winter, wearable year-round

Just tried all 3 at Harrods. This is the one that stood out to me. It’s warm, creamy, woodsy and sweet with a dash of spices. It has that dry sweet quality to it but smooth (almost coconut-y). And with time it gets somewhat denser/heavier. I like the first hour of wear the most. As it develops it gets thicker and more resinous, and I feel like it goes from something like Caban by YSL which I adore to sweet darkness from Superz which I don’t love. I also can see a slight resemblance to Zafeer Oud Vanille. None I mentioned is super similar to this but if you know how they smell you’ll get the vibes. Oh and it’s very long lasting and loud. The price was around 300/340GBP or something. I’d give it a 7,5/10

Stellar Silk from BDK Parfums by Perfumer Jordi Fernández is an elite vanilla fragrance. I have not experienced a vanilla fragrance this decadent. Imagine a warm bourbon vanilla in a saucepot of melted fresh churned butter with an added creaminess from the orris and a resinous facet that emulsifies everything together. It's not sickly sweet at all but balanced with savory nuances from the orris butter note. This is truly an artistic vanilla fragrance.

That is a powerhouse, super strong beginning, my nose hurts. Half spray is more than enough 😬 At the beginning i am so confused about notes, cause i feel like oud smell, i donxt get any ginger or cinamon. It reminds me Vanille leather + oud... But after 1-2 hours scent softens and all the beauty comes out and after onother 3-4 hours softer vanilla and sandalwood left, it is amazing.

I can’t deny it—it keeps drawing me back for another sniff. I can genuinely detect the buttery nuance, and it gives the fragrance an incredibly smooth, creamy texture. That said, I’d rather choose something more gourmand or more iris-focused, such as Tonka Hysteria. So, for me, it’s unnecessary. Still, I’m confident that most people who smell it will find it very appealing.

10 ml bir dekant aldım. Çok tanıdık geldi burnuma blanch bete / une nuit nomade chemin damande ve franck boclet madness karışımı gibi evet tam olarak bu üç parfümün karışımı gibi çok sıcak yumuşak laktonik pürüzsüz bir parfüm olmuş. Kalıcılık ve yayılımı henüz deneyimlemedim ama çok beğendim💨💕

If you like orris butter, Stellar Silk is the definitive orris butter fragrance to get. Typically this scent profile is poor performing or the orris note gets overwhelmed. Not in this. This stands out among other vanilla gourmands.

If creamy was a scent, this would be it. It develops in a beautiful and complex way throughout the day. A bit too “sunscreeny” for me.

Buttery, coconut, creamy sandalwood.

It’s okay but not for me. Not my style and is too masculine. Nice smooth sandalwood, kinda sweet, resinous. I don’t see coconut as a note but I get coconut. Can’t speak to longevity or projection since I didn’t wear it on skin.
