Grand Soir is an incredibly smooth and warming vanilla scent. It has hints of cinnamon spice and lavender, but is mostly a rich, syrupy smooth, balsamic ambery vanilla that smells like the color of the juice - deep gold. The lavender in this is subtle - of all the lavender and vanilla scents I've smelled (such as Goddess or Libre), the lavender here is quite mild. This allows a focus on the star of the show - the luxurious vanilla. This is an opulent scent, but embodies a simple elegance. The spicy and balsamic resins add a lot of character to the vanilla base, and everything is blended together expertly.

The projection on this one is very strong, with it projecting well for 2-3 hours and lasting on skin for over 12 hours. Definitely a beast mode type of fragrance. This is definitely one to be careful of overspraying, as a little goes a long way.

It is a unisex, top-tier amber vanilla scent enriched with baking spices, lavender, and spicy, sticky resins. A wonderful feast for the senses. This would be a wonderful choice for evenings, for a date as well as both casual and formal social events. It is too strong for enclosed spaces, so care is needed when spraying. This is an intriguing vanilla scent that when used properly, I think will draw people closer to you. It's lovely and so incredibly well blended. 10/10
