Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Francis Kurkdjian, a star ‘nose’ in Paris (Jean-Paul Gaultier’s relaunched MaDame, Dior’s Cologne Blanche and Eau Noire, Rose Barbare from Guerlain or Lanvin’s Rumeur, for example), has brought all his talent, humour and experience together for this, his own perfumed universe. This exquisite new store and maison presents a fresh approach to fragrance, and to luxury, providing novel ways to perfume one’s life – with eau de parfum, of course, but also with laundry detergent and softener, leather wristbrands, ‘papier d’armenie’, and even perfumed bubble mixture for fun with the kids. Success is in the details, as they say, and Kurkdjian has got everything just right, the 7 scents themselves, the packaging, the (reasonable) prices, the store, the spirit.
