Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir EDP (Tester)

Description

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir is a warm, glowing amber Eau de Parfum created by founder-perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and released in 2016. Spanish labdanum and orange open into a spiced lavender-and-benzoin heart, settling into a rich base of amber, vanilla, tonka bean, musk and cedar, a fragrance built for the depth and drama of an evening out. This listing is the full-size "Tester" bottle: identical juice, without retail packaging.

Scent Character

• Amber, the dominant, warm core
• Vanilla & Tonka: sweet, resinous depth
• Lavender: a spiced, aromatic lift up top

Translation: a cozy, glowing amber-vanilla scent with just enough spice to keep it from being purely sweet, built for cold-weather, after-dark wear.
