Pros & Cons
- ✅ 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.
