What do reviewers say about Faux Semblant and Grand Soir?
The honey-orange blossom heart is lush, almost confectionery, but then the oud-sandalwood base arrives and remembers it has somewhere to be. It's that Givenchy move: pretty on the surface.Faux Semblant
Grand Soir doesn't whisper. It leans fully into its amber-vanilla identity, offering an unapologetic, intimate warmth that stays close to the skin. Bold in its simplicity.Grand Soir
