Grand Soir
Grand Soir sits in the base from the first minute — resin held up to the light and bourbon pods split lengthwise, and little else in the way. It registers unisex, sophisticated rather than sporty, and sensual rather than clean.
A reference profile, not a product. Rayhan Scents is an independent house, is not affiliated with or endorsed by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and does not sell decants.
Amber, vanilla and tonka
Base — what lingers

- TonkaAlmond, hay and warm skin.
Weighted almost entirely at the base, this is the kind of profile that outlasts the day — poured as a high-concentration oil it holds at the pulse points for twelve hours and is still legible on a scarf the next morning.
Vanilla Oud
Vanilla · Tonka · Oud
Vanilla Oud is built on the same amber, vanilla and tonka, and its base — Oud, Amber, Patchouli — carries the profile at the same weight Grand Soir does on skin.
