What do reviewers say about Grand Soiree and Ambre 114?
Keiko Mecheri doesn't do subtle for subtlety's sake. Grand Soiree's incense-and-patchouli heart wears powdery, not dirty. If you've been burned by overly heavy orientals.Grand Soiree
The sharp opening stops people in their tracks. Nutmeg and thyme, before the warmth kicks in. That's the whole play, bold, herbal, then amber takes over. This isn't another sweet amber.Ambre 114
