Heritage
A house, in its own words
Francis Kurkdjian, a celebrated perfumer with a long and impressive career crafting fragrances for major fashion houses, co-founded Maison Francis Kurkdjian in 2009 with Marc Chaya. Kurkdjian had already made a name for himself by creating iconic scents like Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male in his early twenties. The creation of his own house was a natural evolution, allowing him to express his artistic vision without compromise. From the beginning, the brand aimed to offer a unique olfactory wardrobe, with scents designed to be worn like accessories, reflecting different moods and occasions.
The brand's philosophy centers around the idea of fragrance as an art form and a means of self-expression. They believe in creating scents that are both beautiful and meaningful, evoking emotions and memories. Maison Francis Kurkdjian embraces a sense of Parisian chic, blending elegance with a touch of whimsy. The house aims to offer a curated selection that allows individuals to build their own personal fragrance wardrobe.
