Grand Soir
Grand Soir by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2016 in the luxury price tier. It opens with lavender and sweet orange, moves into benzoin and tonka bean and dries down to amber, vanilla and labdanum. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
