Kurky Maison Francis Kurkdjian for women and men

Same notes, two identities Working the ingredient to express its full potential and meeting the challenge of composing two different eau 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’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. (From the brand's website.)

APOM, an acronym for 'A Part of Me', is a genderless fragrance by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Originally introduced as separate fragrances for men and women in 2009, APOM has been reimagined by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian to combine the best elements of both versions. Inspired by the perfumer's visit to Lebanon, APOM is a flowery amber fougere built on a classic structure with a modern twist. The luminous top of orange blossom gives way to the beauty of aromatic lavender, leading to an alluring base of vanillic amber, comforting white musk, and the sunny smile of ylang-ylang.
