This is the Eau de Parfum in a 35 ml bottle. The brand lists cinnamon tree, labdanum, lavender and a vanilla amber accord, and calls the style ambery, woody and sensual.\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 hour it is named for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand's idea is one particular minute of the day: daylight has gone and the streets are not yet lit. Honey colours slide into amber, and the perfume is built to match that warmth. It is meant for going out rather than for a working day, and the notes are chosen to suit that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResin, lavender, cinnamon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand describes the start as an accord of cistus labdanum, lavandin and cinnamon leaf. Labdanum is a dark, sticky resin, lavender gives a clean aromatic edge, and cinnamon adds a dry spice that does not read as sweet. Together they give the opening a dry, resinous grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn amber-vanilla base\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe perfume ends, in the brand's words, on an amber-vanilla accord with benzoin facets. Vanilla supplies the soft sweetness, amber the warm glow, and benzoin a balsamic roundness. The scent moves from resin and spice towards this warm, smooth base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrand Soir is an Eau de Parfum, so it has real presence from the first spray. It fits autumn and winter evenings, dinners, the theatre or any plan that starts after dark. Two sprays on the neck and chest are plenty in a closed room, and the warm base suits cool air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like warm, resinous perfumes with a little spice and want something for the evening rather than for the office. The brand classes it as unisex. If you enjoy amber and vanilla but find sweet gourmand scents too much, the lavender and cinnamon keep this one dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has a clear time of day behind it and a short, readable note list, so you know what to expect.
