This is definitely fall and winter. And that is certainly true that fragrances are season driven in terms of how they perform in the appropriate weather
I LOVE Grand Soir! For decades Chanel Coco (the OG, not Coco Mademoiselle or Coco Noir) has been my top fav. NOW Grand Soir has stolen the crown. It's the most gorgeous amber ever! I will never be without a bottle. Over Christmas I was wearing it and my 26 year-old daugher stopped in her tracks and said "MOM WHAT ARE YOU WEARING????" She was in love instantly. I discovered Grand Soir last summer and I found it sheer enough that it was beautiful in the summer. It doesn't get cloying in the heat. I just bought Material as a blind buy and I'm struggling with it because it's just too incense and not as balanced and gorgeous as Grand Soir. I don't get the vanilla coming through in Material.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Grand Soir. It is a generational appealing scent. hahaha Amouage fragrances are always more challenging so Im not surprised to hear your reaction to Material.
I am not there yet with Grand Soir. I’ve received 3 samples from various MFK purchases and I turned my nose up the 1st time, 2nd time and 3rd time. So I just pulled it out now at your urging and I just can’t get there. It reminds me of some cheap after-shave my Dad used to wear back in the late 60s to 70s! 🤦🏽♀️
I now what you mean with the price. After a year or two at purchasing niche you get so accustomed to the price points that the $300 & $400 price point doesn’t shock you much at all. For me it is about the scent and the size vs the price and how the fragrance performs. Case in point CliveChristian many of there fragrances are 1.7 oz but they performs extremely well and do not need to spay much that to me many of them are worth it. I’d say that about Byredo nights of veil collection as well.
Thank you for sharing your review on grand soir. When I smelled it, I immediately thought it was to similar to Tom Ford bitter peach. I will never forget that smell. I compared the two and found they have similar notes hince the similarities. I’m not saying I dislike the MFK version. It’s okay.
Edit to add: Grand soir: Benzoin, vanilla, orange, lavender, tonka bean. Bitter peach: benzoin, orange, tonka bean, jasmine, That’s why these two scents smell so similar. They both used the same notes and added some slight differences.
Love Grand Soir. Took me a while but now I’m here. I just noticed how white and beautiful your smile is. Can we get a dedicated review of your dental products of choice? 😁
I love this fragrance. It was a blind buy for me this year and it was a love at first sniff. It’s soo cozy and great for cold weather. I hear people say it’s for fancier dressed up occasions but I can totally wear it for a cute cozy oversized sweater outfit. I have the new formulation, never tried the older formulation. The lavender opening doesn’t last long for me and the dry down is everything. This fragrance lasts all day on me.
I have had it since like 2018 and i like it but then i got Ambre Nuit Esprit (same perfumer, Mr Kurkdijian) and WoW I may now sell Grand Soir because AN is just chefs kiss better blended and more feminine tho unisex
To me, Grand Soir requires you to be all the way put together. It's not a casual fragrance. This (the original one) stayed on my skin, through a bath. Not a shower, a bath. lol. It wasn't screaming. But I could smell it if I put my nose to my arm.

Yes! I agree with your point about weighing size, price and performance.
One of my favs! Someone on tiktok said to layer it with Tribeca and omg!!! 😍
Hahaha people have been talking about grand Soir and layering for years here on TH-cam. That is a good combination.

Gm beautiful. Just received a sample excite to try!!
Happy sampling
My husband loves this fragrance. Me not so much but I keep it in stock for the hubby. He has had 3 bottles so far.
Cool!
I know what you mean about having to come back to fragrances to have an appreciation for. I have the same thing going on with the house of amouage
It's fun to rediscover a fragrance house.
@ yes my nose is evolving and maturing and growing to appreciate different scent and scent profiles
Can you try and review nishane nefs....pls
I didn't like it
I have had it since like 2018 and i like it but then i got Ambre Nuit Esprit (same perfumer, Mr Kurkdijian) and WoW I may now sell Grand Soir because AN is just chefs kiss better blended and more feminine tho unisex
Thanks for sharing
Another fragrance similar to Grande Soir in scent and longevity is Suma Orientale by Une Nuit Nomade.
Thanks for sharing
I want to buy my husband Grand Soir for Valentine's Day so I can wear it too. 😂
Makes sense to me 😆
To me, Grand Soir requires you to be all the way put together. It's not a casual fragrance.
This (the original one) stayed on my skin, through a bath. Not a shower, a bath. lol. It wasn't screaming. But I could smell it if I put my nose to my arm.
Indeed! There is a dressy aspect to it
Grand Soir was love at first. sniff for me. And, it's my favorite MFK😀. Oh, and I love Material too!
You understood the vision immediately! Material is amazing in its own right.
💖💕💓💘🌹🖤🩷
