Grand Soir Eau De Parfum

There is a stillness at the start of Grand Soir Eau De Parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, vanilla reading as a slow brown sweetness with dry smoke. At its heart, tonka bean reads as a dry crumble of sugared hay, met by benzoin — a rich balsam glow in still air. The result is warm and edible, a sweet centre grounded by balsamic resins — nightfall beside a warm cabinet.
