My favorite part of every review is when you say “are we engaged with our higher selves?”
Im engaged with the higher self*
Adrian David then let’s get testing!
Mine to
Well, are you?
Ryan Taylor indeed I am
I own Grand Soir and although I don't wear it often due to the Miami Florida heat, it is absolutely one of my top perfumes. There is such perfection in this scent. I'm not a perfumer nor very good at describing details of a scent, but this just screams magnificence.
This is lovely in the colder temps
I love the comment Aaron made of it being an all age fragrance. So many reviews I have seen call it a 40+ fragrance, being 21 and wearing this often I adore that comment, to me it has no age, it just smells great, it performs fabulously and sets you apart from the Sauvage wearing crowd, not to knock Sauvage but people look at you differently wearing something so seemingly different to the norm, dying to get my hands on Aaron’s fragrances for a while now, though not sure which to go for, fantastic review and a fantastic person. Thank you Aaron
Bro sprayed without mercy
...at least 10x...LOL!!!
Nah he went crazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the more the review evolves, the more it grows on him :D
Your seeing my thoughts progress naturally. It filmed in one take.
I smile whenever I get a notice you have a new video.I don't have this one but it's been on my must buy list for quite a while.Thank you for making my mind up for me.Appreciate you my friend.
My pleasure
Love your reviews, love your style. Your reviews are captivating and I trust your judgement of fragrances and buy accordingly. Great stuff, keep these awesome reviews coming :)
Can't wait! Your videos always soothe my anxiety. Much love.
Im so pleased.
Hi, first video I've watched of yours and loved it! Chris from Fragmental introduced me to you. This is exactly the sort of information and knowledge I'm after. I'll go and watch all the rest now! Much appreciate your whole vibe. 👍
MFK grand soir is love at first sniff. Beastly projection and perfect winter cologne.
I had got many compliments especially with this one and the best one was someone saying that I wanna hug you and not let go!
Aaron thank you for your time making these reviews!!! I rely on your thoughts before my purchase.
The first day I wore this out, I got two compliments right away from women, they wanted to wear it themselves. I love these potent, intoxicating, androgynous scents.
Just ran across this reveiw of yours and I've been on the fence about purchasing this. After viewing this video I'm buying it and buying it today. 10 out of 10 from Aaron is a must get
Grand Soir is awesome. I’m glad you finally reviewed this.
What a beautiful artistic review! The way you express your feelings toward this perfume is so mesmerizing! I am ordering this one today. I fell in love with Baccarat rouge 540 Extrait but after smelling this one, I have to agree that this one by far is the best creation of MFK. Bravo!
Agreed! Such a brilliant and well balanced fragrance and currently my favorite! Aaron love your channel and reviews!
Do you wear it during summer months, and if so, do you think it performs well in higher heat climates?
I’m here Aaron. Great review. I do love this fragrance. Vanilla vibes for sure. Surprisingly decent lasting and high quality. ❤️
I agree. If you love French perfumery your love this.
I adore how you review fragrances. Combining your chemical knowledge with poetic imagination. Beautiful! ❤️
The chemical knowledge is really interesting.
These are the kind of comments I really love
One of my favorite amber based fragrances. I love how you give everything a fait shake. Even with fragrances that you don't like, you try to give an unbiased review (which is how a good reviewer should do a review). I also really want to try MFK Absolue Pour Le Soir which is supposed to be a more animalic, dirtier take on amber. I would be interested seeing you review Papillon Artisan Perfumes. My favorite is Salome (fairly animalic) but I think Bengale Rouge from them would be right up your alley as it is a beautiful spicy oriental.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
like always, great review Aaron... thank you 😉🙏
Love your review even 3 years later 💜
This will definitely go into my shopping cart after watching this review!!!
One of my absolute favorite fragrances!
I found it little powdery and feminine.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 I don’t find it to learn feminine at all. It will work on a female but I find it better for men
I love that you just say what you feel almost every other you tuber has biases based on the brand and other things but you just smell the notes and the way they’re blended. This makes your opinions so Valuable in this community!
I have got 2 recommendations for you a simple one is white musk by the body shop it’s a fun cheapie and I’d love to see your reaction😋the other is a bit out there and that is anything from Ensar ouds collection like No1.
Just picked this up for fall, can’t wait for it to arrive!
Aaron You are so nice, your reviews, the way u describe the scents are lovely. your knowledge and honesty is what put u ahead in giving people a benifit that nobody on youtube does or are able to do, And If u would bash a house ( what u never did in my eyes at all ) it will be just for releasing a bad fragrance and if it is a great house they have to step their game up and make better ones. So Easy is that. They might will hate u for saying your opinion and giving hints of oil ingredients but people will love you for that. Go unicorn go !
I understand the hard work and money invoiced in creating perfume. Even if I dont like it I can see the skill. The only time il really go in if it is overpriced massively or a dupe
Great Review Aaron , i particularly like this one and Rouge 540 on occasions wear oud satin mood .
Fantastic reviews, will have to try some of your scents. I think this is the best MFK by far! Please review some Guerlain like Santal Royal and Arabian Oud Majestic Woody Intense.
Very nice review and a wonderful 10 note on it.
Aaron you are so fair.
What about reviewing Tsar ,Van Cleef and Arpels 🔥
The fact that this is my favourite perfume of all time and you ranked it 10/10 makes me think i have great taste 😄😄
I’d love to see your list of 10 out of 10 fragrances!!!!
Classy, smooth and sophisticated are the right words to describe this scent.
Thank you for this wonderful in depth review. Grand Soir is one of my holy grail frags. It's so wonderfully blended and easy for me to wear Anytime, Anyplace. Totally agree with you 10/10. I believe it's the best one from this house.
I think he was just doing what he was comfortable with here. So thats why its so good
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
I will be wearing for my wedding coming up on Oct. 10, 2020. This is an outstanding perfume by this house. Thanks for the review.
Me too, also on 10.10.2020 ! ✌🏻😀
Congratulations
Congratulations guys. 🎉😁
What a small world...met you on a Facebook group and I actually blind bought grand soir because of your picture of your collection and your comments about grand soir. Good luck on the wedding brother. See you at the next raffle.
How'd it go, Bros?
I'm new to the channel and i just binged on your reviews, great work Aaron . Please review Aqua Vitae Forte from the house (MFK) I think its the best as far as blending is concerned. Thanks
I just get the 200 ml blindly and so happy I did amazing review again
The way you described this fragrance in sold. I will be Buying this
Hello I just finished my work came home, opened letter just got it today - 10ml sample with Grand Soir came and now I am watching your video about Grand Soir You made my evening
Kisses from Taunton (UK)
Magical things are happing in the universe:)
Another awesome, in-depth review.
I can smell the quality through and through from this one. Sadly, it comes off my skin a bit medicinal but even with that I still have it ranked in my personal top 5 ambers.
Thats the notes used to push and give elevation
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 For me it seems perfect for everyone, I think the ones that have a powdery touch like Histories de Parfum Ambre 114 would be more apt to lean slightly feminine off some skin, and it still be very easy for a guy to wear comfortable without worrying about what others may think.
@@MP-ej9pw i got sample and I have received many compliments wearing grand soir but I’m hesitating to buy it or not, I find it too powdery.
I think with these tier of perfumery. The sillage is what someone typical goes for. I find that I love the sillage of my perfumes more than smelling it straight onto skin.
this perfume makes you standout from those sauvage users 100% . the scent trail on these is fucking crazy. this is the most sexiest fragrance so far that caught my attention
Awesome job Aaron you are the best. Just got gran soir for myself...... because I trust you.Thanks man
Its amazing if you love classic French perfumery. This smells very classy. Really good for the price. Lovely Vanilla and amber fragrance
ASMR, finally someone who’s describing perfume. Finally!
This is so beautiful! My favourite from the house!
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
You should do a video of all the perfumes you rated 10!
Great review. Yet another 10/10 I must sample:)
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
Excellent video as always, Aaron. Also, I'd love to see a video of you trying the new Tom Ford Black Orchid 2020 release.
I have just ordered it. We are going down to two videos a week now. So I recon 6 weeks il do it. But il do a really long, in-depth review. Black orchid is my all time favourite fragrance. So this better be one better.
@@AaronTerenceHughes That's a great idea. I'm sorry to also say I've heard a rumour that Plum Japonais is being discontinued so I rewatched your video on it to pay tribute ahah. I hope it isn't true.
hey man this is really cool, do you always review expensive scents? cause I've been thinking about getting into the cologne life but I've never known where to start.
I’ve been so tempted and am going to jump the gun and purchase this ..thank you .
Blind buy for sure ..buy from MFK website and u'll get a really nice presentation and few samples as well 👍
Be very careful on the number of sprays. I have been reprimanded more than once for putting on 3-4 sprays, one girl said I smelled like a French whore from 15 feet away. It is very sickly rich. I wore it once and developed the stomach flu later that evening and the smell just made me vomit even more. That said, it is a good fragrance. But, go light on the trigger.
its amazing.. so darn good. One of my favs. and I have over 200 Parfums
Really
CLASSIC.
FRENCH.
PARFUMARIE.
Music to my ears.
I love Grand Soir! Thanks!
Gorgeous review
I love Grand Soir... so simple, beautiful and delicious. My favourite MFK for sure...
Classic French beautiful perfume at it finest
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
I absolutely love Grand soir! AMBERS are some of my favorite perfumes and I think you should do something like this Aaron an amber dominant fragrance would be really awesome!
You will love what I have coming up!!
Oh gosh can't wait
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 not at all to me! I wear it constantly
@@AaronTerenceHughes Which of your products is amber dominated that women can wear Aaron
Beautiful review thank you.
I just bought this perfume and saw this video. Aaron doesn't give 10 just like that. so I'm happy.
Happy new year dear Aaron, can you please advise if grand soir is similar to lune feline by atelier des ors? I was thinking to blind buy this...I hate grand soir though.
Hey, you should also check Lumiere Noire pour Homme and APOM pour Homme from the same house. Cheers!
So interesting that I’m wearing this particular sample today)) A bit mature for me but among all mature evening perfumery I’ve tried including Chanel this has to be top of the top.
It is mature. Your right there. But I enjoyed it massively
I found it little feminine, what do you think ?
My favourite MFK is Acqua Universalis Forte but after this review, I'm dying to try this
Hello man admiration for your hard work and passion can you please make a review for guerlain cuir intense
What a fine display Aaron, you just convinced me to blind buy this. You were speaking to my soul and not my ears. The first time that anyone has ever convinced me to blind buy a fragrance. God bless you Sir and keep up the excellent work.
How was it ?
@@NEPALESE.AMERICAN Hi and thanks for your message. I found Grand Soir to be a fairly stripped down amber, free of all the added spices that you tend to get with other ambers. Grand Soir is a classically blended amber, a bit like what Oud Wood is to oud fragrances. Grand Soir, like Oud Wood, is a fragrance that is a true reflection of the olfactory category that it claims to represent. In short, it is a timeless, classic fragrance, when you walk into a room you will command respect and people will be very intrigued. It is a stand up and take notice type of fragrance. And like Oud Wood, Grand Soir doesn't over do it, it's beauty is in its simplicity, pure old world charm that hasn't been corrupted by modern ideas. In short, you can't go wrong if you buy it, it will set the room on fire if you walk in wearing it. I hope at least some of that made sense, good luck.
Love this perfume. The dry down his a heavenly Devine Amber Vanilla 😍.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 the opposite, maybe you are not used to sweet unisex fragrances? i'm a man and it doesn't smell feminine to me, if you're not confident wearing it maybe it's not for u, or maybe give it more time maybe you will grow with it
I picked up a soapy barbershop note in this one... what ingredient is causing that?
wore tabac today just love the creamy vanilla in it smells very nice and very expensive i was put off by the name but i purchased after your review of it and glad i did love it fantastic love it would recommend all to get there nose on it
Thank you Martin. I love to
Definitely need to get a sample now
I got a discovery set from mfk today.
I sprayed grand soir today and it smells similar to Tom Ford's Vanille fatale. Anyone else think this too?
please show the bottle when you spray it !
Love this video 👑
This is my signature scent and I love love this
Would love to hear your thoughts on MFKs Armani Mania a true classic by him and one of his personal favorite creations. Peace ✌🏽
Hi there..oh I just love the way you describe this fragrance..thank you..subscribed too :))
I think this one is actually too good for me to pull off. You have to be someone who gets their eyebrows waxed and spends 2 hours a day on personal hygiene and who never walks out of the house not looking perfectly dressed and manicured. It’s a masterful composition, but for me it’s something I’d only wear one or two nights every year, maybe in a tuxedo or suite. Would be good for a wedding. For the people who can effortlessly pull this off every day, more power to you
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
Haha… I wear this frequently just to go to the grocery store here in Mariposa/Yosemite (where the locals look and smell dirty) but the tourists always stop me. Even this summer strolling in wearing board shorts, slides, t-shirt, fedora and shades.
@@J34U2 I agree with you on this! I wear perfumes for myself and not just for other people so I will wear this to the grocery store also. Life is short! I'm here for a good time...not a long time. So I'm going to enjoy my expensive fragrances.
I'll wear GS to a restaurant in jeans on a Saturday night.
If you think you can't pull it off, I'm not sure what you think you're projecting.
Just wear it on a cool evening and enjoy!
I'm torn between Alexandria II and this. Would either be a safe blind buy?
Delighted Arron likes this as i love Grand soir. it's very elegant very classy and performance is fantastic
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 Did you leave this comment under every other single comment?
Grand Soir is a really gorgeous perfume
Wow wow wow!!!!!!
Love it ❤️ love it ❤️
I got original and I got DUA as well. I think they are great.
Thanx Aron
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
I like this one from MFK, too. The others are too... much, somehow. This just hits the spot.
Sounds nice 👍🏿 Blessed love king 🇹🇹
Thank you::)
Is it worth it to get the 200ml?
Yes I see the Roja and MFK connection as well! You say things that just click for me..
Side effect or grand soir
This one is one of my top 3! Layton and Naxos beeing #1 #2
have to agree this is a 10/10. This and Oud Satin mood extrait are my two favs from this house. No matter how much I tried BR540 extrait, I couldn't smell it for more than two mins. If you can get the 200ml in the grand soir, get it, I wish I had.
I have smelled oud satin mood extrait, it was good but it leans more feminine, what do you think ?
How many sprays ? 10?
My fave from this house, its so warm and uplifting in my opinion
I love it
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
This scent is more than beautiful.
Would you wear this ????
Bro how many freaking spray
Grand Soir to me is simple, linear & beautiful. I'll never be without it. Good for more formal occasions.
One thing I've noticed: women give me the most compliments when I wear more androgynous frags.
What is androgynos frags?
@@dizzyhead4208 unisex frags.
@@_Solaris ah ok 👌
Please review Chaleur d'Animale for men .. anyone have use this do help me too .
Finally smelled this beautiful thing and pulled the trigger just now. Its so much better than serge luten's ambre sultan and frederic malle's musc ravageur (i own both and they're a bit similar in genre), its blended very very well. I think this is the smoothest and yet most powerful amber I've ever smelled.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
@@hocineted7594 yeah, i agree , i gave a sample to my friend and he said its too feminine for him
@@hocineted7594 i think frederic malle’s musc ravageur is a more male version, thats a good one too, you can try that instead
@@hojubaby i got sample of grand soir and I have received many compliments, I don’t know if I will buy it or not, I will try musc ravageur, thank you very much.
@@hocineted7594 i gave away many fragrances that got me compliments, if i dont feel ok wearing a fragrance i really dont care about the compliments to be honest, go with what makes you feel good is my opinion
Can you do Louis Vuitton L’ immensite
Just noticed the Instagram, U.S.A on September 25th. Chomping at the bit!
We can only do once a month as WW shipping is so complex. So we want to make sure we only work a whole weekend once a month. That way we will always look forward to it and love it.
Just recently sampled mfk and this one is amazing really every one I got was good out of 8 fragrances and not one made me think nah this is not for me they all were good and that's rare usually you will have atleast 1 that's like yea that's not for me
Grand Soir or Ambre Nuit?
Damn, I never saw him give a perfect 10 before. But I understand. I tried it and it is truly amazing.
My first MFK. Very long lasting and pure class.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
Ordered a 15 ml decant because of you)
One of my favorite ambers but not the most animalic by any measure. Just pure smoothness.
I find it that leans more feminine what do you think ?
I got a sample and it smells great I'll buy a bottle just like Herod $400 but worth it 👍
