A Spiritz Of Sophistication
The PEAK Hong Kong|January 2017

A Spritz of Sophistication After years working with the world’s biggest fashion houses, master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian has turned his attention to creating his own range of scents. And, as he reveals, owning a signature fragrance is now falling out of style.

A Spiritz Of Sophistication

Francis Kurkdjian is the man behind who concocted some of the most beloved contemporary fragrances in the world. He spent years creating iconic scents for fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier and Narciso Rodriguez, but now Kurkdjian is passionately devoted to creating his own namesake range of perfumes and bespoke scents, available in Hong Kong at Joyce Beauty. The master perfumer reveals that he finds inspiration in one of his greatest loves; fashion, and that it’s become passé to have a signature scent.

How inspired are you by fashion? Who are some of the most inspiring fashion designers you’ve worked with?
