It is for me tbh but at the end of the day its personal taste. If you enjoy gourmand fragrances with a woody backbone, def give it a try. Im reaching for it almost every day, even when I use something else I spray a little sweetest aoud on my arms to smell it myself. Noticed that it got even smoother and a little better performing too after it had time to age a bit. Gf loves it too so im happy
Will def buy another bottle once im out, unless I can find the original for €200-250 but thats pretty unlikely

grand soir could be my fav winter scent this s*** is super cozy vibes

Did you ever read this on the website regarding the notes?

Tonka bean from Brazil and Venezuela
This precious raw ingredient comes from the Dipteryx odorata, a tree endemic to Central America and northern South America. Local people have to go into the jungle to pick its ripe fruit once fallen to the ground. After macerating in alcohol and dried, it delivers its kernel, a wrinkled black bean, the tonka. It gradually develops its flavors, including those of its main aromatic molecule, coumarin: powdery, almondy with a freshly mown hay effect, tobacco, slightly honeyed and smoked. Its gourmand facet evokes a slightly vanilla-scented and sweetened shortbread tart. Its absolute, obtained by volatile solvent extraction, is one of the most sensual base notes.

Vanilla Amber Accord
The amber used in perfumery has nothing to do with the yellow amber stone, which is ornamental but has no smell, nor with ambergris, which refers to an animal extract from the sperm whale. The amber accord inspired a series of successful perfumes launched at the beginning of the last century. It included two flagship ingredients, cistus labdanum, with its warm, resinous, animal facets, and vanillin, a new, sweet aromatic compound, which is the primary component of vanilla. Since then, the combination of these two warm and persistent notes has been considered to form the amber accord, generally enriched with tonka bean, coumarin and resins such as benzoin or incense, which are all base notes.

Benzoin from Siam
The resin of Styrax tonkinsesis, endemic to Southeast Asia, and more specifically Laos, is obtained by notching the trunk of its tree to make it "cry". Once incised, the tears thus collected form a whitish liquid that turns amber-yellow as it solidifies. Six months later, classified according to its purity, this gum is harvested, cleaned and treated. The scent can be extracted by infusion in alcohol or by extraction with volatile solvents. The smell of benzoin is multi-faceted: sweet vanilla, with a gourmand caramel effect, honeyed, syrupy. Its enveloping properties are used as a base note, and perfume both Orthodox churches and Buddhist temples.

Ciste Labdanum
This wild shrub grows in arid soils around the Mediterranean. When it is hot, its leaves and branches exude a sticky animal-scented gum called labdanum, close to ambergris in high dilution. There are several ways of extracting Cistus Ladaniferus: steam distillation of its branches yields the aromatic, resinous and woody cistus oil. Extraction with volatile solvents results in the heavier cistus-labdanum absolute, at once balsamy, pyrogenic and resinous, used in the heart and base of a fragrance. These two products are pivotal notes in "chypre" accords and add character to amber accords and "oud" compositions in both women's and men's perfumes.

Love how informational and transparent they are regarding the naturals and synthetics they use + what type of scents each note gives off

no this is sweet, MFK absolute genius

@ UK fellas

Just copped the Blue De Chanel for my first cologne ever 😂

So I’ve been looking for a new perfume to replace my current main one. I want something that isn’t sold in stores here, because I want it to special. Ive kinda fallen for the BDK perfume. Is it all hype or is it good? And yea I know it might be hyped in the states, but you can’t buy it in Sweden. I’ve been looking at rouge smoking because I love their description of it. Does it last a whole day?

What you think of it? Also recently bought a bottle for the first time. I wasn't expecting the citrus and incense to be so dominant based on it being a "blue fragrance". That's not a knock against it, it's just different from what I expected

I don't get why people say it can't be worn in high heat though, it's like 28 degrees Celsius weather here rn and I love wearing it. Works better than ADG Profumo in similar weather imo

Saw a recommendation for it on TikTok believe it or not💀 I went in store to see how it was personally and was like woah this is really nice. I bought the smallest size and all fragrances were 15% off that day too so it was dope. But I can’t wait to use it cause it smelled really good.

next buy is going to be New York Intense by Patricia de Nicolai

When are those mfk samples going back in stock

Got some more samples including that new Dior and Amouage

Lasts like 4-5 hours in my experience. Id either order a sample from their website along with gris charnel or go for something else if you wanna use it daily and have it last all day. Best thing is to hit a niche store and sample some stuff, doubt your friends or people around you will find out what is it unless theyre frag addicts. Or get a few samples from ebay

Yup you got some heat fr. Do you think Diorama is similar to Creation E in any way? Felt like Diorama was a summery take with a few notes missing. Really grew on me too

Also need your thoughts on the rest of em!

I gotta test Creation e out again. Vanilla diorama was like a spiced vanilla cake to me.

I found one store here in Stockholm that sells niche perfumes. Doesn’t seem to be so popular here lol. Literally everyone here seems to be buying the same big brands. However this store had brands I’ve never seen in my life before. I’ll visit them and get professional help. I really want a perfume that lasts a whole day

Anybody smell that new Tom Ford yet? Eben Fume or something like that?

SOTD Grand Soir

SOTD: MFK Oud
