Paris Night

Absolutely divine! The description “A lush blanket of warm amber settles around you” is spot on. Opens up with a sweet amber/benzoin vibe. Almost sheer the way it settles on your skin giving yourself a romantic comforting aura. The dry down brings tonka in to compliment the amber/benzoin and add depth. I’m am amazed how close this is to MFKs version. Both have that scent bubble that surrounds you with glimpses of its sweet powdery vibe that begs some to get closer. Longevity is great...projection is average. This is an easy recommend from me, but please get a sample to live with for a few days to get your own opinion.

If you're trying to compare it to the original (MFK Grand Soir) then you'll notice how rough around the edges Paris Night is in the opening. Give it 30 minutes and the rough edges disappear and what remains is an extremely similar fragrance to the original. I don't like giving percentages, but damn close to perfect. GS is still, and will always be, a higher quality fragrance, but if you don't mind giving up a smidge of quality, what you'll get in return is slightly better performance and a dramatically less expensive fragrance. I'm quite happy with it.

Very nice fragrance overall, the tonka bean and ambers are what really come through for me with just a hint of vanilla in there as well. It comes off as a fresh, clean and syrupy fragrance with a slightly medicinal opening but within 5 minutes it dries down nice and sweet with a sugary finish that is very beautiful to be around. A great fragrance for the fall and winter both all day and all night.

I would say it's about 90% close to GS. I have a sample of each, and tried them on both arms. GS has more orange and is a tad bit richer so that's where the 10% comes off, but both have around the same longevity with GS projecting slightly more but not by much. If you like GS and don't want to pay the premium I would say this is a good alternative. Overall I give it a 8/10.
