Grand Soir

Grand Soir is Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s amber, composed in 2016 by Francis Kurkdjian around the image of a Parisian night with its illuminated bridges. The house brings together the warm vanilla of Siam benzoin and Brazilian tonka bean, jostled by the dark depth of Spanish cistus labdanum, and classes it among ambery woody fragrances.

Where to buy

Francis Kurkdjian composed Grand Soir in 2016 for the house he founded with Marc Chaya. The fragrance celebrates a Parisian evening: the house invites the wearer to put on their finest attire and get lost in an endless night, when bridges and monuments glow with a thousand lights.

The City of Light

The house describes an amber that dresses the skin in vibrant notes, to the energetic and mysterious rhythm of the City of Light, and classes it among the ambery woody fragrances of its collection.

What critics say

Angela, at Now Smell This, sees in Grand Soir a dense, sparkling amber-woody fragrance, a marvel of excess like a chocolate lava cake, which she recommends to anyone still looking for their amber.
