Amber Grand captures the warm, ambery essence of Grand Soir's base quite effectively, with comparable tonka and vanilla sweetness. However, the clone lacks the sophisticated aromatic refinement and complexity of the Siam benzoin found in the original, resulting in a somewhat more linear and less nuanced fragrance overall.
The clone delivers decent longevity but with reduced depth and projection compared to the designer original; the benzoin and labdanum interplay feels flattened, making Amber Grand appear more one-dimensional despite targeting the same amber-vanilla profile.
What people who wear Pendora Scents Amber Grand report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Beautiful sweet amber smoked with labdanum and mixed with pinch of vanilla and tonka bean in the drydown. Great for everyday use and for layering. Amazing stuff!I had to compare it with the "real" thing. Well, I definitely am sticking with this one :D there is slight diference between these two. GS is longer lasting and noticeably drier (due to lavender I guess). AG has less duration, but the drydown is sweeter and creamier. At the end AG is very reasonable dupe with quite a good quality and budget-friendly price.”
“Amazing dupe for the love of my life, Grand Soir by the great Francis Kurkdjian. I own both and now I can save the OG by using this one up. I do prefer the original but this one is close enough and it saves me so much money. I also feel like the people who have no means to buy masterpieces like Grand Soir also have the right to smell and feel special and this is one of the dupes that lets us all feel just like that without spending obscene amounts of money.”
“Bought this, tried it and I didn't know how to get rid of it faster. Smells like a perfume an old person would use. On my skin, after 10-20 minutes, it leaves a scent reminiscent of Replica BTFP, but with a fuller and at the same time toned down smoky scent, if it makes sense? I can't feel the vanilla in it. For me it was definitely a miss, but it lasted a good while on my skin.”
