The Eau de Parfum lists cinnamon, labdanum, lavender and a vanilla amber accord, and the brand calls the style ambery, woody and sensual. A 10 ml decant lets you meet that evening mood first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinnamon tree, Vanilla Amber Accord, Ciste Labdanum, Lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe minute it is named for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole idea is one particular moment: daylight is gone and the streets are not yet lit. Honey shades slide into amber, and the perfume is built to match that glow. It is meant for going out far more than for a working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResin, lavender and cinnamon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand describes the opening as a cistus labdanum, lavandin and cinnamon leaf accord. Labdanum is a dark, sticky resin, lavender gives a clean aromatic edge, and cinnamon a dry spice that does not read as sweet. Together they give the start a resinous grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmber and vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the brand's words the perfume settles into an amber-vanilla accord with benzoin facets. Vanilla supplies soft sweetness, amber a warm glow and benzoin a balsamic roundness. The scent moves from resin and spice toward this smooth, warm ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the decant in the early evening, when the light turns, since that is the setting the perfume is built for. Apply it to skin, and try it again on another evening in autumn or winter weather. Note how the lavender and cinnamon sit against the vanilla on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is classed as unisex and suits people who like warm, resinous perfumes with a little spice and want something for the evening rather than the office. If you like amber and vanilla but find sweet gourmand scents too much, the lavender and cinnamon keep this one dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is 35 ml, and a strong amber perfume is easy to like in theory and hard to wear in practice. The brand gives it a clear time of day and a short note list, but only skin shows whether the warmth is comfortable. Our decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich notes does the brand list for Grand Soir?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCinnamon tree, a vanilla amber accord, cistus labdanum and lavender.
