Ever imagined the scent of freedom? Set aside the structured framework of classic perfumery and experience fragrance in its purest, most carefree form—Kurky (70ml for RM1,070), Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s latest olfactory creation. Named after Francis Kurkdjian’s endearing childhood nickname, Kurky is a unisex eau de parfum that captures the spirit of youthful innocence—sweet yet subtle.
Like a candy-coated trip down memory lane, the fragrance is built around a delicate gourmand-musky accord, primarily composed of white musks that evoke the fresh scent of cotton, entwined with fleeting fruity nuances. Softened with notes of vanilla and sandalwood, this musky blend gradually transforms into a creamy, gentle trail that feels as soothing and familiar as bare skin. Floating atop this velvety base is a rich tutti-frutti medley, bursting with juicy facets of citrus, stone fruits, and berries—each note revealing itself uniquely depending on the wearer’s interpretation.
The packaging is a nostalgic nod to Kurkdjian’s early years, reimagining a whimsical, colourful twist on the maison’s signature visual identity. Upon rediscovering a small box of Jordan almonds from his youth, Kurkdjian was inspired to recreate its signature stripes, embellishing them with personal sketches that reflect his inner child. Inside, the bottle retains its familiar silhouette along with a newfound luminosity. Its transparent glass is now tinted with a peach-hued lacquer, finished with the name Kurky, artfully scrawled in cursive to resemble a child’s handwriting.
The Kurky Eau de Parfum is now available online and at licensed Maison Francis Kurkdjian retail outlets.
