Grand Soir is a masterclass in amber perfumery.
Performance is outstanding, easily lasting 10+ hours with strong projection and a beautiful scent trail.
One of the best from the brand & one of my favorite warm amber fragrances.
A spectacular amber and labdanum perfume. A comforting, amazing, and sensual perfume...
Warm, inviting, with a vanilla amber unlike any other.
Possibly the greatest amber vanilla fragrance in the world.

The biggest downside is the price. Grand Soir is a very expensive fragrance.
It is also not the most versatile option, as its rich amber sweetness can feel too heavy for everyday wear or warmer weather.
I think it’s just a little generic for my taste.
The opening is very strong and alcoholic, almost unbearable at first.
It smells too old and gave me a rich granny type of vibe.
