I don’t know about you guys but grand soir boosts my confidence to the roof and gives me a burst of energy

@freebrotherlee Жыл бұрын

This absolutely just brightened my day. I subscribed to your watch-related TY in Late October 2018 with zero knowledge and a $12 dollar quartz watch on my wrist. You accompanied me on my deep dive into watches and it changed my whole life, as I loved it so much I ended up in the business! The fact that I'm now getting into fragrances, and here you are to help again, is such a welcomed surprise. A perfect throwback, with a spritz of nostalgia. I've been loving Courtney's videos too! All the best to you both.

Love this fragrance but a bit annoyed. Got a sample from someone, loved it, got a full bottle and I swear the sample is stronger. I mean they must’ve had the sample in their drawer for a while? Do they reformulate these that often? Anyone know how I can get my hands on an earlier bottle? Side by side the sample is heavier vanilla, Resinous, lasts all day, the bottle(authentic!) smells more lotion-ish right away.

@alexdenton6586 2 жыл бұрын

A warm, smoky and refined Amber. Reddish resin from conifers, its name derived from the Greek "Ambriosos" means immortal, and this perfume in 50 years will not have taken a wrinkle. I was afraid that it was sweet, but it is not the case, if not by the black and natural pod of its Vanilla. For the non-dominant Tonka is positioned in the background and with restraint ... and THAT, my friends, is very good. By imposing this one as the dominant note in all Orientals this past decade, the flame between it and me ended up being extinguished. I became disgusted with it, going from "I love it, it's one of my favorite notes" to "Again? they don't have anything else on hand or something" because it dominates and tyrannizes the other notes. At the time when Pierre Hermé claimed that he hated Tonka, I was thinking "How is that possible?" now I understand better. Anyway, here it only serves as a support and so much the better, just like Cistus. A creamy, dimensional scent that evolves slowly. I prefer it after 1 hour. It reminds me a bit of Dior "Vanilla Diorama" as it is a spicy ballet of Cardamom, Patchouli and African Cinnamon (from Ceylon or Madagascar). In conclusion, I initially thought it was boring and trite... After an hour of evolution, I completely change my mind. 7,5/10

@arapaimagold8088 Жыл бұрын

I assume you're not trying the first batch of GS. In my opinion based on the first batch bottle. The tonka is really loud, unlike the shy kitten purr of current production. Heck it only last 4 hours, while the first batch last overnight and easily detectable on wrist by nose.

I think Grand Soir is a warm, elegant scent that is mostly suited to the late fall and winter. For me it is a more sophisticated mature scent for someone that dresses in cashmere and fine fabrics -this is not a casual fragrance by any means. It is not a young informal scent. This is for someone who dines in fine restaurants and travels.
