Maison Francis Kurkdjian

The Parisian alchemist: an architecture of light

An editorial study of fragrance ingredients: fig, tea, cardamom and woods

Founded in Paris in 2009 by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, the maison is known for luminous, transparent compositions built with classical French precision. Baccarat Rouge 540 became its signature: saffron and jasmine over a crystalline amberwood glow. Around it sit the golden amber of Grand Soir, the velvet rose-oud of Oud Satin Mood, and the clean, everyday ease of 724.
