Maison Francis Kurkdjian - A rosy encounter
Luxferity, 06.04.2021
Discover or rediscover À la rose and l’Homme À la rose, two eaux de parfum born from the same inspiration and aspiration: give men and women the power to wear a contemporary rose.
This duo complements each other thanks not only to their respective olfactory notes, but also to the emotions it triggers: natural freshness, a bold composition and unabashed sensuality.
Contemporary femininity
Launched in 2014, À la rose, now one of the Maison’s iconic fragrances, celebrates women with unflagging fervor. Each bottle contains no fewer than 400 roses – 250 Centifolia roses from Grasse with floral, honey-like notes, and 150 Damask roses from Bulgaria, which deliver a fresh pear and litchi accent.
To break free from the many clichés surrounding the rose, a flower at times considered old-fashioned, Francis Kurkdjian created a violet and magnolia-blossom accord that imbues the middle notes with fullness and generosity. In the base notes, a woody-cedary-musky accord fuses with the Centifolia roses to celebrate a contemporary, sensual femininity that bows to nothing.
When men dare to wear a rose
Evolving with a society in search of modernity and free to aspire to anything it wants, Francis Kurkdjian offers a particularly audacious eau de parfum with l’Homme À la rose, his latest creation and personal interpretation of a rose for men. His main ambition is to prove that men can wear a rose and that the flower is genderless. It’s an ode to freedom that upends the new codes of masculinity.
The fragrance opens with extremely fresh, green top notes which fuse with a grapefruit accord and essence of Damask rose from Bulgaria. Then, a woody-rosy accord comes into play, bringing verticality to the fragrance, which is magnified by woody amber base notes that suffuse it with an unmistakably masculine olfactory signature.
