I woke up to a raining,cold, gloomy isolated day. I looked over my collection and decided on Grand Soir; I was a in a beautiful cloud of perfection the rest of the day. Priceless.
Whoever said its performance isn't that good just got nose blind or got a fake. This is a beast. I can smell it 14+ hours on my skin. On a test stripe I smelled it for like 6 weeks.
I'm new to Grand Soir, and MFK in general. Was drawn to MFK because I fell in love with BR540 EDP. But then came Grand Soir, and OMG!!! It's become one of my top three, and is now perhaps my top fragrance. I started wearing this in the summer, and I found it deep yet sheer enough for the summer weather. And of course now in fall/winter, it's wonderful. I never get tired of this. Love the top notes, middle, and dry down equally. Love this review! Thanks!
Love Grand Soir and have a bottle- so elegant. Another superb offering from MFK is Ciel de Gum, one of my favorites- originally offered in the G.U.M department store in Moscow.
Glad you reviewed this one. It is one of the best from MFK line of perfumes. I also like Baccarat Rouge 540 and Oud. You should try Oud Cashmere Mood. I am sure you would love that one as it is dark, woody and smoky. By the way, Cashmere Mood also contains labdanum. The more I wear it the more I love Cashmere Mood.
Rania J Ambre Loup has a similar Amber profile as Grand Soir but has a better development with an Oud/Labdanum opening that will get your attention. I also feel that the material chosen are more natural in the Ambre Loup.
Excellent review! Just got a sample and it seems like I can detect a very slight animalic note. I’m currently really enjoying the scent so I’ll keep wearing it to see what else I can find.
Love this fragrance makes you feel like a million dollars warm rich comforting! Would love your take on aqua vitae forte I personally love it a freshy but warm & spicy
Have you ever smelled ambre sultan by serge lutens ?? I love it just as much as grand soir. It's missing that sweet vanilla but as an amber it's gorgeous
Got mine today, I love ambers and my Mitzah is running low so I got Grand Soir and Ambre Sultan to conserve Mitzah. Ambre Nuit is my nighttime signature scent but it's not really an amber. Kind of sad L'air Du Desert Marocain didn't work with my chemistry. Ambre Sultan gives me the same experience though.
I found this to be a good composition, but the linear quality (not a lot of development) combined with the low quantity of notes made it a bit boring. Tie that in with the good/decent projection and it got a bit fatiguing every time I wore it
Hey Maybe you could do a fragrance review about 'Gold Cedar Nights' by Jesus del Pozo? I recently smelled this one and I think it is pretty interesting, but I'd love to hear your opinion on that one as well ;-)
Great review Marc. I agree with you that this is a perfectly balanced Amber, I only have a sample but am thinking about buying a bottle. If I compare it to the other two ambers I have, Mitzah (Dior) is a bit too sweet, there’s too much Vanilla and powderyness in Mitzah and Ambre Russe (Parfum d”Empire) is too dry, both of them also great though. I would use Grand soir only for the ‘grand soirs’ too
This in my humble opinion is a lavender bomb. I love amber absolute, one of my favorites in the collection but this stuff I can’t put in the same boat. Lavender scents are so old school you have to wear a dress shirt with this, preferably suit jacket. I do think it’s good quality though but when this sample ends, that will probably be it.
The best release? You must be joking. I guess u have not smelt Ciel De Gum, Absolu Pour Le Soir or Oud Satin Mood. I own Grand Soir too and like it but while the opening is amazing and to die for, it doesn’t stay that way. The dry down is sickeningly sweet. It’s just too much sweet . Which tells me it’s not very well blended. I own 90% of all the frags from MFK. It’s one of my favorite houses, but they dropped the ball on this one. If only the opening stayed that way. What is it with u ppl and the sickly sweet perfumes. Grand Soir is not a great Amber frag. You want to know what a great Amber frag is, try Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea . It’s an incredible beautiful Amber that none can touch. And I’ve smelt about a million Amber scents. Or it feels like it. I adore Ambers. I buy every Amber I can find. I also own Tom Fords Amber Absolut. Even that one is a much better Amber than Grand Soir. Grand Soir has its charm but it’s not worthy of the hype. Still, being a mfk fan girl, I had to own it. But I’m mad at it’s overly sweetness.
Everyone’s nose is slightly different, but after watching a dozen videos on this fragrance, it’s obvious the overwhelming majority of reviewers and commenters disagree with you.

This scent is one of the very few scents I give 10/10 to. In my books, it’s near perfection.

10/10 - this is a masterpiece - only fragrance I've used for months. $$$ should smell this good. 💥
No doubt!
Best release from MFK! Get your nose on Pour Le Soir too! Its like Grand Soir’s evil anamalic brother. Would love to see your take on it!
funny enough I finally decided to get a bottle of it and getting my splitter to split one.
to me APLS takes the cake.
robes08 excited for a review! I actually like APLS better which is weird... maybe my nose got mature
joe agreed i HATED it at first but 4 months later its my favorite MFK... crazy how taste changes
@@thescentedengineer3230 where can you buy absolue pour let soir bro?
Just got a 5ml decant in the mail and 😍. Will be ordering half way through the decant provided my thoughts don't change. It smells BEAUTIFUL
A beautiful refined comforting scent , absolu pour le soir is still my favourite Mfk. Dirtied up this dna in all the right ways 👌
Robert Quinlan Agreed! Did they discontinue it or still making it?
@@RyzFragz34 it's still available direct from the Mfk website 👌
I agree wholeheartedly.
Completely agree it’s their best release. Love the content as always!

MAD INTRO!!! had to like it straight away before I finished watching it :)
I knew you would really enjoy this one. Great review as always Marc. Hope you and the family are well:)
That editing though... great video
I love Grand soir..I will always buy a bottle of this if I run out..def top 5 for life lol..women love it as well 😉
Love Grand Soir and have a bottle- so elegant.
Another superb offering from MFK is Ciel de Gum, one of my favorites- originally offered in the G.U.M department store in Moscow.
Not super duper complex, but soo well blended and it sticks to skin for a good long while 🔧🔧🔧🔧
i like grand soir but my favorite is lumiere noir, man such a gentlemanly scent i love it
My signature. I love it!
I agree with best MFK release. 10/10
Great editing. I get a tobacco / hay note from this which I love. Def his best imo
Tobacco and hay? Sure you tried Grand Soir? 😄
Glad you reviewed this one. It is one of the best from MFK line of perfumes. I also like Baccarat Rouge 540 and Oud. You should try Oud Cashmere Mood. I am sure you would love that one as it is dark, woody and smoky. By the way, Cashmere Mood also contains labdanum. The more I wear it the more I love Cashmere Mood.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed night
Nice. I have recently reacquainted myself with this gem and have been loving wearing it cominf into our cooler months.
I think someone did a video about fragrances that made you happy just sniffing them, and this is one of those for me. Viva la Grand Soir!
Rania J Ambre Loup has a similar Amber profile as Grand Soir but has a better development with an Oud/Labdanum opening that will get your attention. I also feel that the material chosen are more natural in the Ambre Loup.
Great review Marc. Grown man review very thorough. Gentle fluidity Silver and Br540 extrait my top 2 then Grand Soir
Love this scent. I have it and treasure G.S. PS love the dark background plus brings out those Tom Ford glassses. Lol 😂
Great great vid really enjoyed u breaking this one down. Loving my sample and absolutely will cop Grand Soir. Thanks Marc.

Excellent review! Just got a sample and it seems like I can detect a very slight animalic note.
I’m currently really enjoying the scent so I’ll keep wearing it to see what else I can find.
Good luck finding things lol, it's a fun part of the journey and Francis K. is a king at making subtle complexities within his scents.
I have not got thr chance to smell any from the line but now I know where to start with a decant .
Best of the best !!!!! 10/10
Love this fragrance makes you feel like a million dollars warm rich comforting!
Would love your take on aqua vitae forte I personally love it a freshy but warm & spicy
Just ordered my bottle. Neiman Marcus has it 25% off right now.
Best release is Absolue pour le Soir. Check that one out Marc. The rest seems pale in comparison.
getting split by my splitter as I write this.
S. Pudja i said the same thing! Waiting on a review
Really love this one! Awesome Review as always!
Love Grand Soir it's my next purchase along with Roja Dove Creation E and Scandal.
this is a nice one , its very well made in my opinion sold my bottle which i wanted to keep but i needed the money more than the fragrance
That this one is one of the best of the Brand says all about the Brand to be honest.
Have you ever smelled ambre sultan by serge lutens ?? I love it just as much as grand soir. It's missing that sweet vanilla but as an amber it's gorgeous
try absolu pour le soir
Great review 👍 my favorite from the house
Got mine today, I love ambers and my Mitzah is running low so I got Grand Soir and Ambre Sultan to conserve Mitzah. Ambre Nuit is my nighttime signature scent but it's not really an amber. Kind of sad L'air Du Desert Marocain didn't work with my chemistry. Ambre Sultan gives me the same experience though.
Best release from them.
Ciel de Gum is right up there as well.
Such a beautiful Ambery Gingerbread.
Opening of this smelled weird and made me nauseated. Dry down made me fall in love and purchase a bottle
Marc, I know you have a bottle of MFK Oud, but you've never reviewed it. What do you think of it? Do you like it?
Ughhhh I was hoping you'd hate it. This is going to have to be one of my next major purchases, definitely my next MFK purchase! Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found this to be a good composition, but the linear quality (not a lot of development) combined with the low quantity of notes made it a bit boring. Tie that in with the good/decent projection and it got a bit fatiguing every time I wore it
My Scent of the day🔥

The best release by MFK with BR450
If u like walking around like a a great big burnt candy floss, it's fantastic!
Too bad that I have already placed my order and missed the coupon....but so happy to get this review video 😊

It was OK - Good, but it was reformulated a Lot. Very much. 6/10.
I like this guy
Nice review.
First Again 🤗
my fav of his entire line, smells like toast with honey to me, perfect 10 club incoming!
I think i am boing to blind buy this and Elysium from Roja Parfum
Is the scent linear?
there's not much change tbh
Interesting
I really like this one but it is synthetic and toocommon. .
MFK Grand Soir
And Armani Code eau de Parfum are my favorite. The Best 👌 👍
👍
I smell incense & mature cognag in grand soir. 😂😂
well then...

Lavender scents are so old school you have to wear a dress shirt with this, preferably suit jacket. I do think it’s good quality though but when this sample ends, that will probably be it.
They can't all be bottle worthy.
This is a solid one. But I got bored really soon. Shame on me.
(for the record: you sound like an Italian trying to speak French).
