Francis Kurkdjian lends his style to five remarkable fragrances, imparting striking new features, powerfully emphasized in a luxurious concentration.
This multi-facetted quintet encompasses Gris Dior, a chypre that pays tribute to the emblematic color of 30 avenue Montaigne, Lucky, an enchanting floral celebrating Christian Dior’s elegant favorite model, as well as Rouge Trafalgar that recalls the red designs he sent out mid-show to dazzle guests. Uniquely sensual Ambre Nuit, and Oud Ispahan, whose flowers evoke the Orient, complete the picture.
LES ESPRITS DE PARFUM convey the olfactory quintessence of confident luxury.
Five figurehead perfumes revisited in an adventurous style of luxury. They inhabit creative realms that dare to be extreme, casually push limits, and permit every extravagance…
Color icon Gris Dior grows more concise. Light grey acquires density, its hues charged with a deep, electrifying grey. The chypre accord gains clarity among darkened woods that reveal Atlas cedar steeped in Indonesian patchouli, softened by an amber facet. The floral accord is heightened, revealing sensual violet and rich Bulgarian rose.
Ambre Nuit reveals the deep shadows of a moonless night. Musks make way for spices, dominated by a cinnamon and cardamom duo combined with a soft amber accord. An instantly addictive fragrance makes its presence felt. Its highly sensual enveloping composition offers an unprecedented journey into the hypnotic depths of night.
Aptly named Lucky is a nod to Christian Dior’s legendarily superstitious nature. It highlights the lucky Lily of the valley of the original “humid” floral bouquet. In confident elegant style, its floral facets are accentuated and underlined by a dark green woody leather accord, which heralds the promise of a persistent fragrance that isn’t afraid to shine. It takes on a more radical character, with stunning intensity.
Oud Ispahan transforms into a fantastical journey through the Orient, in the rich colors of One Thousand and One Nights. It is opulently swathed in woody spicy nuances of clove and cumin. Honeyed rose blends with oud and weaves a shimmering pattern that is sophisticated and powerfully evocative.
Rouge Trafalgar astonishes and disrupts in a brighter shade of red. Transformed into a fiery sweet treat it relinquishes its tender tangy fruity facets. The new composition sharpens up with pink peppercorn, and commands attention with Turkish and Bulgarian rose essences. Devilishly delicious, this crisp scarlet candy apple sits in an unexpected basket of red fruits with potent appeal.
