Francis Kurkdjian
“Upon each new meeting, an emotion is grafted with people or places,” says Parisian perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. Kurkdjian has created fragrances for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Lanvin and Narcisco Rodriguez and collaborated with renowned artists to create extravagant olfactory installations. After spending time in New York, Kurkdjian composed a perfume (the scent of a dollar bill passed from hand to hand) for artist Sophie Calle, and presented it at the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art. He later transformed the basin of the Orangerie of Versailles into a giant fluorescent and perfumed orange. Since 2009 Kurkdjian has created sophisticated perfumes under his own line – Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
