Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Its deep, sweet resinous amber and vanilla are enveloping and best suited for cold weather, making it a natural fit for winter and fall. The density and warmth may overwhelm in heat, so it is less ideal for spring and rarely suitable for summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Grand Soir is opulent and projects strongly, making it perfect for formal events and romantic evenings. Its richness can be too much for office or casual wear, and it is unsuited for athletic settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Grand Soir is an opulent swirl of glowing amber, resinous benzoin, and smooth vanilla, conjuring the hush of Paris at dusk. Sweet, balsamic warmth radiates from the skin, layered with labdanum's smoky richness and a powdery, almost golden haze. Elegant lavender and a faint citrus glimmer add refinement, but the lasting impression is one of deep, honeyed resins, plush tonka, and a velvety, sensual trail. This is a scent for grand entrances and lingering goodbyes-sumptuous, calming, and utterly timeless.
