Grand Soir

Grand Soir, a Warm Amber Vanilla

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir is a warm amber vanilla scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with soft amber before a benzoin, tonka bean, and labdanum heart settles over vanilla and warm woods.

The Story Behind the Scent

Maison Francis Kurkdjian built Grand Soir around a golden Parisian evening, all glowing amber and soft vanilla. The idea was a warm, refined elegance.

That warm glow is its appeal. The amber gives it a soft radiance, the benzoin and tonka add a resinous sweetness, and the vanilla and woods keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
