Founded in Paris in 2009 by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, the house places creation at the heart of a contemporary olfactory wardrobe. Its first boutique opened on Rue d’Alger that same year. In 2017, LVMH acquired a majority stake, while the two founders remained in charge of creative direction and management.
The house’s style is rooted in contemporary French perfumery that is precise and generous, where purity meets reinvented classicism. Francis Kurkdjian works with raw materials through a graphic construction and pays careful attention to every detail, from the fragrance to the bottle, in a refined, luminous and timeless aesthetic.
Right now at Fragsplit, 5 Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants or official samples: Grand Soir, Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, Oud, Amyris Femme.
