Lui by Guerlain is a soft, powdery leather fragrance with an interesting vanilla and clove composition that works well in cooler weather. However, the community consensus is that it lacks personality and distinct character compared to other leather fragrances, and is generally seen as a decent but unremarkable choice in Guerlain's leather lineup.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
