The opening is warm, resinous and slightly citrusy, with Spanish labdanum creating a rich amber-like character while orange adds a brief touch of brightness.

As it develops, lavender and Siam benzoin bring a smooth balsamic sweetness. The benzoin blends beautifully with the labdanum, creating the signature warm and resinous character of Grand Soir.

The result is rich, elegant, warm, smooth and sophisticated. MFK itself describes Grand Soir as an ambery and woody fragrance built around a warm amber-vanilla accord with benzoin facets.
