Inspired by Grand Soir.
Grande Soiree inspired by Grand Soir is LUNAR & CO.'s version of Maison Francis Kurkdjian's amber evening scent. Mandarin, bergamot and pink pepper open with a bit of sparkle, jasmine, rose and iris sit in the middle, and then the base goes deep with amber, benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean and labdanum.
It's resinous and warm, more of a night-out perfume than an office one.
Notes
- benzoin
- vanilla
- tonka bean
- labdanum
When to Wear It
Grande Soiree is built for after dark. Think dinners, parties, a cold night when you want something that wraps around you. Autumn and winter suit it best. Two sprays is usually enough, since the amber and benzoin carry quite far. I wouldn't pick it for a hot day. If you want a spicier take on amber, Alateliere is worth a look, and our winter cologne collection has more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Grande Soiree smell like?
Citrus and pink pepper on top, jasmine and rose in the middle, then a deep amber, vanilla and benzoin base.
Is Grande Soiree a Grand Soir dupe?
Grande Soiree inspired by Grand Soir follows the same warm amber and vanilla mood as the Maison Francis Kurkdjian original, so it works as a Grand Soir dupe. Small differences from the original are normal.
Will it last through an evening?
Usually, yes. Amber and benzoin bases tend to stick around, but skin and weather change things.
