Grand Soir, from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, is a rich, glowing amber for cold evenings. Labdanum and orange open it, resinous and faintly sweet, with a bright citrus edge. Lavender and benzoin form the heart, so it feels herbal and balsamic at once. Then it sinks into amber, vanilla and tonka bean, with musk and cedar keeping the warmth smooth rather than sticky. It is dense and cosy, like coming inside after a long cold walk. Released in 2016, it is worn by men and women alike, especially those who love warm, resinous scents. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, in the evening and at night. Most wearers vote it long-lasting. The sillage vote leans strong. A 3ml decant will see you through a week of winter nights.

The community verdict
For those drawn to warm amber, Grand Soir opens with orange and Spanish labdanum before vanilla and tonka bean settle in. Most find it long-lasting, with some finding it exceptionally long-lasting; projection splits between moderate and strong. It suits winter nights and autumn evenings, but may feel too sweet if you prefer fresh scents.
