Soir D’or translates to ‘golden evening’ which is a beautiful name but does not remotely match the scent itself, a pattern I’ve noticed with a lot of Burdin scents. This is a very pleasant musky floral scent which comes across very clean, soapy and powdery. The gentle, hazy nature of heliotrope is the dominate note here, backed up by clean jasmine and Lily of the valley which gives it that intensely soapy feel. Soft touches of sweet pear and litchi are joined by hefty doses of synthetic musks, furthering the soapiness even more. I must say, as soapy fragrances go this is fantastic. It does lean feminine but I would happily wear this when I want to smell fresh and clean, it smells like the most amazing clean linen. Definitely doesn’t represent an evening wear fragrance, but is gorgeous nonetheless.
