Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir EDP
Description
Grand Soir is the warm amber glow of a long evening, bottled — Maison Francis Kurkdjian's most beloved cozy gourmand. Composed by house founder Francis Kurkdjian in 2016, it wraps Spanish labdanum, benzoin and vanilla into a dense, golden amber that reviewers describe as "sweet but never cloying, powerful yet refined." It is the scent fans reach for when they want comforting warmth with quiet luxury — an evening coat for the skin.
Scent Character
- Sweet — 50%
- Woody — 17%
- Floral — 11%
- Fresh — 11%
- Smoky / Resinous — 11%
Translation: an amber-forward sweet gourmand wrapped in soft resins and a whisper of cedar — warm and enveloping rather than sharp or fresh.
Fragrance Pyramid

Best Occasions & Season

FAQ
Is Grand Soir for men or women? It's a unisex amber gourmand — equally at home on anyone who loves warm, sweet-resinous scents.
How long does it last? Excellent longevity — most wearers report 10–12+ hours, among the best in the amber category.
Does it contain oud? No real agarwood. The resinous depth comes from labdanum and Siam benzoin, not oud.
How does it compare to other ambers? Sweeter and more vanilla-forward than smoky ambers — think a polished, gourmand-leaning amber rather than an incense-driven one.
