Collection: Francis Kurkdjian

French-Armenian master perfumer and businessman, celebrated for creating iconic fragrances such as Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Mâle (1995) and Baccarat Rouge 540 under his own house, Maison Francis Kurkdjian. A graduate of ISIPCA (1993), he quickly rose to prominence, earning the prestigious Prix François Coty in 2001.

In 2009, he co-founded Maison Francis Kurkdjian with Marc Chaya, envisioning perfume as a fragrance wardrobe—a collection for every mood and moment. The brand was acquired by LVMH in 2017, and in 2021 Kurkdjian was appointed Director of Perfume Creation at Dior, further shaping the future of French haute perfumery.

His creations include Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle, Baccarat Rouge 540, Aqua Universalis, À la Rose, L’Homme À la Rose, Amyris Homme, Amyris Femme, and Oud Satin Mood.
