At the age of 15, when Francis Kurkdjian decided to become a perfumer despite his complete lack of knowledge about the profession, he couldn’t possibly have imagined where this path would lead him. However, he quickly understood that it would be replete with discipline and perseverance – values he learned during years of piano and ballet lessons.
For the past twenty years he has channelled his passion, determination and devotion into perfume, which fills his days, and sometimes his nights. His relationship with perfume has deepened over the years while remaining true to the values and tradition of fine perfumery. Yet he consistently seeks to break the moulds, free perfume from its bottle and open up doors leading to new lands.
Bergamot takes on the fruity notes of blackcurrant, mimosa (with its raspberry and blackberry tones) and jasmine (facets of strawberry, apricot and peach), before slowly melting into the sweetness of a fruity musky accord. Aqua Celestia Cologne forte releases a luminous and crystalline aura and offers a line of flight towards the horizon.
Calabrian bergamot and the sweetness of a white musk accord interweave a dazzling flight of vaporous white flowers such as syringa and sweet peas. Aqua Universalis strong Cologne is the projection of the happiness of whiteness, radiance, the purity of a breath of fresh and enveloping air.
The mandarin from Italy brings a colorful freshness to the bergamot to give life to a luminous and floral citrus breath. Vibrating in unison in a halo of warm light, Aqua Vitae Cologne forte is a caressing eau de parfum with a trail full of sun and sensual musks enriched by Indian sandalwood.
Bergamot from Calabria
Known for its fruity taste in Earl Gray tea, Citrus Bergamia is widely used in perfumery because its top notes signify a sparkling freshness, a kind of “smile” of the perfume. Its essence is obtained by cold expression of the zest of the fruits. Southern Italy is specialized in the cultivation of this citrus fruit which is used in the composition of cologne and in a number of feminine and masculine creations where its fresh, floral and aromatic facets stretch to the heart.

Same notes, two identities
Working the ingredient to express its full potential and meeting the challenge of composing two different eaux de parfum with the same notes: juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, musks, ambery woods and vanilla. The Gentle Fluidity duo was born of the perfumer’s imagination to offer two distinct olfactory silhouettes, for her or for him.
In Gentle fluidity (silver), nutmeg and ambery woods are dominant and release a vibrant, comfortable trail. As for juniper berry essence, it leads to an ascending, ultra-fresh, aromatic note, similar to a “gin frappé” effect, balanced by the dry, slightly balmy, spicy notes of nutmeg. The base notes reveal ambery wood facets ranging from sweet and enveloping to powerful and dry.

The Gentle Fluidity duo was born of the perfumer’s imagination to offer two distinct olfactory silhouettes, for her or for him.
In gentle Fluidity’s (gold) generous, enveloping trail, we can find coriander seed essence and an overdose of musks and vanilla. The floral, spicy note of coriander seeds brings, just like musks, ethereal volume and a lingering trail. In the base notes, the gourmand, reassuring notes of the vanilla accord enhanced by the ambery woods reveal a radiant, bright silhouette.
The more pronounced version of Aqua Universalis enhances the charm of this sunny freshness. The fragrance’s afterglow, sparkle and intensity are heightened by green bergamot from Calabria, jasmine and rose absolutes from Egypt and Morocco and light woods underscored by potent musk.
A fragrance that is quite simply luminous, to be used by everyone, everywhere and at all times. An exquisite sense of freshness in an all-purpose Eau de toilette.
