I don’t know about you guys but grand soir boosts my confidence to the roof and gives me a burst of energy
Grand Soir is the star of the show in the MFK lineup IMO. It’s an incredible fragrance. PS wish you guys would start doing videos on this channel again!!

Had a girl smell it and she thought it was not good lol I will say I thought it was okay I def expected a much more incredible smell
This absolutely just brightened my day. I subscribed to your watch-related TY in Late October 2018 with zero knowledge and a $12 dollar quartz watch on my wrist. You accompanied me on my deep dive into watches and it changed my whole life, as I loved it so much I ended up in the business! The fact that I'm now getting into fragrances, and here you are to help again, is such a welcomed surprise. A perfect throwback, with a spritz of nostalgia. I've been loving Courtney's videos too! All the best to you both.
I thought you only review watches and now I just bumped into this. And I'm here for it! subscribed!
It's my signature scent. I can't get enough. I love it to death, great review!

Great review ! You ticked all the boxes for me 👌🏻 I’m actually on my way to smell it for the first time today 😊
You are on that beat! I see you getting better and better!!
I tried every fragrance from MFK till date and this is my clear favourite.
Just smelled this one today and it's amazing! Maybe your nose is a little more sophisticated than mine, because I loved this on first smell. Definitely one on my short list.
good job your content quality is amazing
I never smelled Grand Soir before , but I just purchased its clone from Lattafa called "Eternal Oud" and its soo beautiful! I can only imagine how the real deal would smell like. Great video as usual, Teddy!
Teddy, my man! Displaying the MFR! It's smells soooo good.
Grand soir is a true Masterpiece!! ❤️😍❤️

Hv a 5ml travel sample. It's simply good. Amber lovers will love this. Getting a full bottle soon. Thanks

Grand Soir is simple, linear & beautiful. Good for more formal occasions.
MFK grand soir is freaking awesome. Oh my word!! This is one of the finest fragrance ever made.

Agree with Markhor about Rouge 540... Seriously do not get the hype on that one... But GRAND SOIR... It's the ONLY mfk fragrance that i would splurge on... It's GORGEOUS... I'm surprised there's nothing animalic listed in the notes as I always get a civet vibe from this one... LOVE
Best smelling thing I've ever smelled.
A warm, smoky and refined Amber. Reddish resin from conifers, its name derived from the Greek "Ambriosos" means immortal, and this perfume in 50 years will not have taken a wrinkle. I was afraid that it was sweet, but it is not the case, if not by the black and natural pod of its Vanilla. For the non-dominant Tonka is positioned in the background and with restraint ... and THAT, my friends, is very good. By imposing this one as the dominant note in all Orientals this past decade, the flame between it and me ended up being extinguished. I became disgusted with it, going from "I love it, it's one of my favorite notes" to "Again? they don't have anything else on hand or something" because it dominates and tyrannizes the other notes. At the time when Pierre Hermé claimed that he hated Tonka, I was thinking "How is that possible?" now I understand better. Anyway, here it only serves as a support and so much the better, just like Cistus. A creamy, dimensional scent that evolves slowly. I prefer it after 1 hour. It reminds me a bit of Dior "Vanilla Diorama" as it is a spicy ballet of Cardamom, Patchouli and African Cinnamon (from Ceylon or Madagascar). In conclusion, I initially thought it was boring and trite... After an hour of evolution, I completely change my mind. 7,5/10

I assume you're not trying the first batch of GS. In my opinion based on the first batch bottle. The tonka is really loud, unlike the shy kitten purr of current production. Heck it only last 4 hours, while the first batch last overnight and easily detectable on wrist by nose.
I tried smelling Baccarat Rouge. Both versions. I couldn’t smell it. As in I could not detect what it smelled like. Maybe soft cotton candy. Was so weird.

Just get it. Enough said.
Love this fragrance but a bit annoyed. Got a sample from someone, loved it, got a full bottle and I swear the sample is stronger. I mean they must’ve had the sample in their drawer for a while? Do they reformulate these that often? Anyone know how I can get my hands on an earlier bottle? Side by side the sample is heavier vanilla, Resinous, lasts all day, the bottle(authentic!) smells more lotion-ish right away.
I think Grand Soir is a warm, elegant scent that is mostly suited to the late fall and winter. For me it is a more sophisticated mature scent for someone that dresses in cashmere and fine fabrics -this is not a casual fragrance by any means. It is not a young informal scent. This is for someone who dines in fine restaurants and travels.

Dude, don't spill the beans. Lol... j/k.. I like Fulton and Rourke and Cremo. Both great solids.
Smells like one of my grandmother's french perfumes from the 70's. It comes on VERY strong and the dry down is still very intense on my skin. For me, it's too masculine.
Wait what?! I thought you only did watches?!
What do you think of le male le parfum? I’m new to your channel btw
Bought some, and I have to admit I'm not a fan of the vanilla, cigar smell type men's fragrance. If you're in your 60s and love watching the Godfather this scent may be for you.

Very Linear, nothing special, wasn't impressed at all with it. Not a Niche fragrance for me. Save your money. There are tons of much better Amber/Vanilla fragrances out there. Don't see the hype or any kind or sort of magic in this
Nauseating!
