Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from an encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, co-founder and president of the fragrance house. Together, they fulfilled their desire for a sensual, generous and multifaceted landscape of olfactory free expression, creating a new emblem of French know-how and lifestyle.

soft ,cozy,warm

Perfume smells like really sun kissed … The first note is citrusy but not fresh …more like warm honey tea with pice of lemon.. On my skin smells very cozy, light and expensive..Definitely recommended …

Fresh and elegant summer fragrance

This fragrance definitely screams summer. It is fresh and elegant at the same time. It should be noted that it is not as durable as others within this perfume house. However, I feel beautiful and elegant using it with my spring outfits, but especially in summer.

Scent turned powdery on me

Initially I liked the scent but then it turned powdery on me. It is a floral scent without being too sweet and the scent lasts a long time!
