The world first encountered Soir de Cannes by Alan Bray in 2010. A feminine fragrance belonging to the east and floral families. Perfumer Alan Bray left a distinct mark on this composition. The fragrance belongs to the Cote d'Azure collection. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — Russia, and that already says something about the quality. Soir de Cannes Alan Bray unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Soir de Cannes evolves as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Alan Bray is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Fruit, Citrus, Whiteflower and Wood. The palette also extends to Musk, Gourmet and Floral. At family level the scent maps to East and Floral.
Right at the start you meet juicy fruity top notes: Apple and Mandarin.
In the central layer you sense Jasmine and Patchouli holding a creamy tuberose direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Soir de Cannes sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
