      @@amaterasublack3519Both of them are sweet fragrances. If you like amber it can be Grand Soir, if you like honey and tobacco it can be Naxos. I also advise you for a formal and romantic event Penhaligon's Uncompromising Sohan as an oud and rose combo, most suitable for men imo.

Classy and professional, thank you Teddy & Courtney!

    I just bought Grand Soir last week as a replacement for my Tom Ford Beau de Jour, which I wore year round. MF Kurkdjian definitely created a masterpiece, a perfume that, although as you said, works great for winter, even so in summer with a little essence it can have a pleasant effect, especially in places with a tropical climate.

    First I would like to say that I am happy to see you as a reviewer. Your sig other is great but hearing you point of view is a breath of fresh air. I have a recommendation for you if you love warm and comfortable scents that are unique to me. Have you ever tried anything from the house of Scent of Wood. It is worth the try I must say. You really should contact the house and get samples to try out, I don't think you will regret it.

    Threw on Grand Soir to follow along with you. I have several amber frags myself. I strongly reccomend trying Xerjoff Ivory Route. I burned thru a 3ml bottle and decided to grab a bottle. It's in my top 10. Other great cold weather frags I like: killian black phantom and initio side effect. If you ever want to split a bottle of Chris Collins Sweet Taboo it is my #1 favorite fragrance right now!

    Honestly, one of the best lists I've seen amongst many reviewers. This is solid! My least fav would have been Lune Feline (maybe I expected more out of it in terms of presence) and favorite pick would have been way too hard because I love BA, Naxos, GS, AS for the different purposes they serve. I will try Awake again bc what I smelled from a sample did not leave that strong coffee/cardamom vibe with me. Thanks for this interesting video - it's a keeper!

    Am unfamiliar with Honey Oud but there's a bottle of Floris Santal in my dresser that I just cannot make work for me (female in my 30s). Though it's sweet and soft and floral and unobtrusive unisex, on me it smells old-fashioned masculine, as well as too formal. It came to me a few years ago, and unfortunately, it hasn't come to suit me, at least not the way I'm wearing it (2/3 spritzes in the air, spin into it clothed). Could I layer it with something else to make it more up-to-date casual and femme? Or should I just trade/sell it and give up?

However on the other end of the spectrum I was incredibly disappointed with Black Afgano. I remember reading about this cannabis note, and was sad when it was just a touch of generic herbalness with an overdose of Norlimbanol. NOT a masterpiece at all… at least IMO 😅
