Maison Francis Kurkdjian
It was founded in 2009 from a collaboration between Francis Kurkdjian – one of the most celebrated contemporary perfumers and the creator of numerous bestselling fragrances – and Marc Chaya. Working together, they crafted a multifaceted collection in which fragrance is, naturally, the star.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s perfume collection is like a fragrance wardrobe showcasing the different facets of an individual’s personality. Designed to meet the exacting standards of the French perfumery tradition, it also embodies a contemporary vision of creation and the art of wearing fragrance. A love of craftsmanship and exceptional raw materials, sophistication, timelessness and boldness are among the House’s core values, gradually shaping unique sensory experiences.
Francis Kurkdjian enjoys giving fragrances new playgrounds and was the first to believe in the phenomena of olfactory installations, like those created for the Palace of Versailles. Since its creation, Maison Francis Kurkdjian has proposed a range of unique fragrances without ever compromising on the quality of the raw materials used to make them.
They are distributed through an exclusive and selective network of points of sale around the world.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian became a Comité Colbert member in 2016 and has been part of the LVMH group since 2017.
The icon
This special order from the Baccarat crystal glassworks for its 250th anniversary was supposed to remain confidential. Thankfully, this was not the case and Baccarat Rouge 540, designed as the perfect oxymoron of density and transparency, fire and lightness, made a name for itself as a major creation in the olfactory wardrobe.
The address
While Maison Francis Kurkdjian is now present in the most beautiful sales spaces in more than forty countries, it is at 5 rue d’Alger and 7 rue des Blancs-Manteaux, Paris, that we can fully discover the Maison’s unique world.
