“A soft cardigan on a spring morning — polished, gentle, never raising its voice.”
Francis Kurkdjian's 2014 floral bouquet, built on white flowers with an iris-violet powderiness. Iris, violet and rose sit together from the first spray, with vetiver adding a faint woody frame beneath. White-floral and violet accords lead, followed by powder and a soft rose facet. It sits in the Kurkdjian catalogue alongside the 2012 Amyris Femme. A spring daytime scent, with summer close behind.
The take
What works
- ●Magnolia-iris combination is refined and rarely executed this well
- ●Quiet, intimate projection — the anti-statement feminine
- ●Understated enough for office, pretty enough for evenings
Trade-offs
- ●Longevity is disappointing for an EDP at MFK pricing
- ●Very soft — those wanting projection will be frustrated
