Collection: Francis Kurkdijan

Francis Kurkdjian is one of the most celebrated perfumers of his generation.

Born in Paris in 1969 to an Armenian family, he initially dreamed of ballet before training at ISIPCA in Versailles.

At twenty-six he created Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (1995), one of the world's best-selling fragrances, a debut that announced an exceptional career.

Over the following decades he created for Guerlain, Burberry, Elie Saab, Dior, and Narciso Rodriguez, before founding Maison Francis Kurkdjian with Marc Chaya in 2009, home of the globally coveted Baccarat Rouge 540 (2015).

Prior to MFK, Kurkdjian was the founder and nose behind Indult Paris, creating Tihota, Manakara, Cuir 404, and Isvaraya.

He was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 2008.
