'THE ART OF SCENT' with Francis Kurkdjian of Maison Francis Kurkdjian

[@DuckySC]

I feel better about spending money on his perfumes after watching this video and seeing how thoughtful and authentic he is.

[@2009galactica]

What a lovely and sweet person. Very authentic. Gentle soul. Thanks for the interview. Didn’t want it to end

[@rmkpilates]

Master composer, he is to perfume what Mozart is to music. We are so blessed to be able to have him in is this generation. Thank you Francis Kurdjian.

[@ndines6237]

I’m on a mission to try every scent this man has created ❤️

[@SPACEDOUT19]

your wallet will hate you

[@RalucaBlajut]

Same!!

[@raananojouki6647]

I have his perfumes are great

[@swcblad]

the 2ml tester is the best way to go

[@Tec9DaShooter]

Definitely

[@nadiabakdash]

This man really really understands the art of perfume! I have A La Rose, Baccarat 540 extrait, Amyris extrait. All masterpieces. He can do no wrong in my eyes.

[@dx4618]

How do you like the A La Rose? I've been curious about it. What notes do you smell in it when it's on your skin, and how does it last (longevity, projection, sillage)?

[@mimiof8324]

Baccarat 549 extrait is my favorite perfume. It is my opinion the best fragrance ever made.

[@LuisHernandez-li6su]

Michelangelo reincarnated as a perfumer.

[@wagnerporras7616]

Now I want all MFK frags after this interview.

[@mariannak1463]

One of the greatest Armenians of all times! We, Armenians, are very proud to have such a well-known compatriot! Never had his perfumes because they're out of my price range. But constantly hear and read about his masterpieces. He's a true artist! Thank you for the great interview! He sounds like a very humble, kind and modest man! Wishing Mr. Kurkjian and this channel a very happy New Year always with good health, love, joy and prosperity!

[@LGeezus_]

At the very least you must try a sample of his work. I’m new to the brand outside of hearing of the famous BR 540 perfume but I’ve recently received some samples and I am truly blown away by how beautiful and complex the various scents of the line are.

[@whoahorseywhoa4685]

he is worth being late on a bill or too lol ... he is out of my range ... but i bought it anyways and will pay through the nose for it BUT GLADLY !

[@tookitoff]

Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an awesome Master perfumer, love his MFK line and all the others masterpieces he has created along his journey as a Master perfumer and in fact iam waiting today for the mailman to arrived to bring me Masculine Pluriel which is my most recent purchase from his line, cant wait to wear it. Keep them coming Francis🙌🙌

[@tlk5807]

So many things I enjoyed about this interview. First of all, I must have been living under a rock bc I just discovered Francis Kurkdjian and his fragrances. His illustrations to help us understand this complex art of being a perfumer was brilliant. He is so intelligent yet he doesn’t come off arrogant. He was so generous with his knowledge of fragrance and his time. He felt comfortable with the interviewer I think bc she didn’t interrupt him but allowed him to talk freely. That’s rare of the interviewer Ms Masrani so cheers to her too. I just blindly purchased a couple days ago Gentle Fluidity based on a recommendation on Monika Cioch a fragrance youtuber who said if you love Rouge 540 you’ll love GF. I have yet to receive it but I have a sample of Rouge 540 which I love. I’m getting a sample of Satin Oud also. Francis was so gracious, warm and appreciative. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to him.

[@JloveLamar]

I've had to watch this interview over, I enjoyed it so much. How did you like GF? He is one of my favorite perfumers.

[@bcaiqs]

💯agree 💜

[@tlk5807]

@@JloveLamar I love GF. It’s a very complex vanilla and has great projection and longevity. I actually like it better than BR540.

[@JloveLamar]

@@tlk5807 Ohhhhhh no! GF is a nice one, but it smells exactly like commodity gold, and I kinda wore that out. BR540 is my fave :)

[@rmkpilates]

Satin Oud is intoxicating, seductive and lovely. Longevity, sillage, projection, it is a masterpiece.

[@hellendia]

this interview was fascinating to listen to. Without knowing a lot of perfumes that i love are made by Francis K. that is rather fascinating. I find the conversation as captivating as the fragrances he makes.

[@cabriellelogginschew1857]

I love how he educated. Particularly on the issue of buying bigger bottles and how oxygen is an enemy to perfume and makes the perfume fragrance fades once opened. Good to know.

[@iamlove5325]

I am a huge fan of Francis! I am thankful for his creations. Thanks for the interview.

[@Cardsmaster]

I have the biggest crush on him.

[@raquelgeneve]

me too :-)))

[@ndines6237]

So do I. I am in love with him because anyone who can create such beauty, I love that person.

[@joanp.galula7517]

Samedt!

[@AnaSofia-pi1zm]

Francis is an absolutely interesting person. I really enjoyed his ideas! ❤️

[@eglemark3901]

Ageed

[@aromasfromearth1558]

the questions of the host is crazy, she doesnt know anything about perfume

[@ndines6237]

The way he says he’s happy to be home. This quarantine has allowed people who have had to work and travel so much, now they are given a break from the frenetic pace. I found that in the beginning...it was a break and that was out of my control. So it was a welcome thing, now it’s different for me. I find the isolation kind of suffocating. The way he discusses his reaction to quarantine is fascinating to me.

[@Laurenlilly902]

how is it that this video does not have a MILLION views!!?? such a good interviewer! relaxed and letting this Iconic guest speak. I can tell he was even happy to stay longer than agreed. I see he was having so much fun with you in this interview. for all the hooplah over Baccarat Rouge 540, it's great to see the man behind it. I learned a lot

[@opalbeach9626]

I agree, you should never layer your perfumes. Not sure where people get that from. Perfumes should be enjoyed individually. Good perfumes cost too much and should be enjoyed one at a time. Thanks for the interesting interview.

[@karentaylorsmells]

Totally.. I think people have missed the whole point that ‘more is not always more’ and the perfume is enough. If people layer x and y, then x or y mustn’t be enough for them I wonder?

[@aytac007]

the best perfumer in the world by a country mile. mfk perfumes are luxury perfumes, you get what you payed for.

[@faviola7778]

Amazing perfumer, the best in my honest opinion.

[@karentaylorsmells]

What a beautiful, genuine, down to earth (!) and humble person you are FK

[@the_resourceful]

I like many of the mfk frags but sorely wish they were at a much more reasonable price point that would allow them to be purchased and enjoyed by more perfume lovers.

[@Pfs709]

Francis Kurkdjian was thoroughly enjoyable. great interview.

[@Lapinettepetitbébé]

My favorite perfumer ever!he is so talented, incredible!!!i love his creations 😍

[@karlbadde7435]

So ... where are the links Francis mentioned at roundabout the hour mark ...?

[@ilkyszn]

Also would like to know

[@user-nf5js7ho2p]

I love how he includes his team always. ❤️

[@veroniquegourdin3438]

Such a fine perfumer and fine man. Such a pleasure to feel that intelligence and talent mix so well.

[@jelenko07]

What a wonderful humble soul

[@MaeSekou]

I love this mans fragrances. My first set of scents by Maison Kurdjian was the Oud sampler set. I loved all of them (esp. Cashmere Mood Oud). I just purchased Grand Soir two weeks ago. Last week I was greedy and ordered the travel sizes of Oud Cashmere Mood from the MFK official site. Monday I ordered the travel sizes of Oud Silk Mood Extrait from Nordstrom. After I shower and moisturize all over, I love to smell of MFK or Tom Ford Private Blend and leave scent trails everywhere I leave.

[@rmkpilates]

your hooked

[@OhNellly]

Not just Covid-19, it’s also social injustice. Black Lives Matter. This man 👌👏👏👏

[@irinaturner6020]

Wow! Thank you so much! So nice and inspirational!

[@Daunou777]

Wonderful interview! Thank you. What is the name of the book he recommends? 22 Perfumers ? I cannot find it online. Francis is a magnificent human being. I love his fragrances.

[@_-MiamiVice-_]

He's an absolute top guy. Very good at his profession, no doubt about it. But many of his scents are weak performing, and nothing overly special. I wasn't blown away by them, but this applies to many of Roja's too. Regardless we need more people like him in the world

[@denisebynum7735]

Lovely, so interesting. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[@nicolenonya5874]

Aqua Celestia Forte is one my favorite MFK frag. I wish Burberry Her Blossom lasted longer. I have a son @ home w/ a heart transplant & another kid who's autistic so sniffing MFK's frags is one of the few joys. He's a true inspiration. 💗💗💗💗I keep saving to try to get all his scents. Cool Water Wave for women = MFK scent. TY for bringing so much joy to this world 1 spritz @ a time. I hope you make a biography movie one day.@MaisonFrancisKurkdjianParis

[@lv2465]

Thank you Francis Kurkdjian for Narciso Rodriguez for him Edt it is a masterpiece of perfumery. Sadly discontinued but I hope that you may bring it back again in a MFK bottle with a new name.

[@cyrilabahussein2955]

I love MFK ... His perfume is Awesome ....Love 540

[@ndines6237]

It is so great that I was able to see this. I am in love with this man! 😘❤️ he is so special and has such a gift. I just opened oud satin mood. A blind buy. I love it. It is beautiful. I am transported to a happier place.

[@IndigoRoses7]

Maison Francis Kurkdjian for me, opened my eyes fully to the artform that is fragrance. Exquisite storytelling, through scent. Thank you for your offerings to the world sir

[@Icyle]

Hi love, were there any links to the information Francis was talking about for those interested in learning how to create perfume? Many thanks💙

[@bentheblackbutterfly222]

Le male been my favorite since a child ! Universe makes no mistake ! He’s HIM

[@oranjerry]

Could you share the link that Kurkdjian mentioned in the video please? Thank you!

[@claudiaLaCroix007]

What a wonderful story of real courage and talent beyond most of us would be able to even dare to experience. Now I really really love his creations even more. I’m happy he made it and God willing will continue to do this great!

[@missclara779]

Amazing 👏 conversation I enjoyed every second of it thank you for both of you ❤♥

[@denimherb8989]

Just 5 of your creations to my collection and I will be fine 💯👌

[@afshinommi1682]

what a beautiful conversation. thank you Deyvanshi for choosing such good questions.

[@dasikakn]

I never even realized but I already own 3 of his creations. I bought them for me and my partner just because I loved their distinctive scent - Le Male, Burberry Her, Guerlain Rose Barbare. And recently I picked up the BR 540 Extrait which I loved for how distinctive it was too. This dude just makes things that are out of the box! so good.

[@popescubrindusa9031]

J'aime beaucoup les parfums. Maintenant j'aime aussi le parfumeur, l'homme Francis Kurkdjian. Je t'aime beaucoup mon cher Francis.

[@farissyed4564]

Even though the video is old, but a big shout-out to francis kurkdjian for making bacarrat rogue 540, a true piece of art.

[@OhNellly]

Among my all time favorites 🥁 BR540 Extrait, Aqua Celestia Forte, Grand Soir, Gentle fluidity silver, Aqua Universalis Forte, Le Male that’s right baby Le Male..! I have always been very interested in the artists behind the fragrance creations. Thank you for making this fantastic film. MFK is my favorite brand…!

[@pokemonlover7186]

Could listen to him talk about perfume all day 👌🏼

[@Themauneys]

Excellent interview. So brilliant - a real artist. Neimans had a private event - Missed seeing him in Dallas, Texas. Come back when it’s safe to travel.

[@sajidamahomed7855]

Thank you for sharing this he seems like a humble person and its nice to hear about the behind scenes of this jorunrys to establish such amazing perfume and tips ❤ barakarat rougue 540. Look forward to future perfumes.

[@camillathornhill8230]

Loved to see the man behind the art that is his creations ❤️❤️ even more enamored to learn the history and bio! Not just a pretty scent❤️❤️

[@anastasiaa4372]

What an inspiring man! Respect!

[@johnwilliams221]

I love being lectured about rich vs poor from a guy that sells his perfumes for $600 a bottle

[@eglemark3901]

In few days I will start working with your fragrance and really excited to know more about the perfumer himself 💛

[@user-nf5js7ho2p]

I've never viewed perfume as art not until I learned more about Mr. Francis. This whole creative process someone tries to paint through scents is mind-blowing. He tells a story and lets you have your own take on it without being offensive. Indeed one of the best perfumers in the world. Respect!

[@bcaiqs]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☝🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😊❤️ Thank you to you both for this awesome informative interview!!!

[@Tec9DaShooter]

This guy here is a fkn legend wish I knew him

[@Olyrous]

I thought oxygen does not go into sealed spray bottles...

[@tinafatusin8023]

Me too, thought so too

[@wells328]

He’s such a pleasant man and a real visionary 💕

[@TenTenJ]

What a beautiful man.

[@MrCalverino]

he created Nautica Voyager... it's a great cheapie

[@BetimAlimi]

That was maurice roucel. He created Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male.

[@MrCalverino]

@@BetimAlimi ok thanks, I was was wrong lol

[@ThatCologneGuy]

I totally agree with him. I always use perfumer and never 'nose', which sounds awful.

[@rmoshammer]

In need to watch this completely, I have just played some random minutes and they already were so informative - the background infos of Masculin Pluriel and why it is the right choice (in my case) to go with smaller sized bottles like 75ml. Francis Kurkdijan is an ambassador for the whole branch. ❤️

[@______________9358]

He reminds me of the main character from the movie "perfume". He drives you crazy with his works, but at the same time not killing girls😂

[@saunterscamper3952]

I love hearing from this nose! I have deep respect for this artistic perfumer. I believe that I must try all his scents and collect my favorites in full sized bottles! ❤️ So far my must-haves are Oud EDP, Oud Extrait, Oud Silk Mood EDP and Oud Silk Mood Extrait, Grand Soir, BR 540 Extrait…

[@MKL_D]

Very human. Not dramatic, but a master. I am switching my wife to MFK.

[@silkfabrics4706]

Your creation is wow, we all know you created the famous JPG Madame EDT, this is not available in India, don't know why this good fragrance has been discontinued, any other perfume you may like to suggest which is closest to JPG Madame EDT , thanks

[@crypticlolita]

Fascinating creative mind and artist! Enamored my monsieur Kurkdjian

[@Benjimikey]

I'll be interested to see what direction he takes Dior in now that he is replacing Francios Demachy

[@aromafh2486]

Great video

[@Toberenamedonedaymaybe]

Hello, did he ever end up sending the links for the tutorials he would reccomend?

[@isabellamarkov]

I have already 2 parfums and i am Happy by products … 👍👍❤️

[@sincerelylavie9960]

I’m so confused is Francis gay or straight?? I’m trying to figure this out. I want him as my husband haha

[@danielsmith79]

He’s openly Gay

[@user-nf5js7ho2p]

Can anyone share links he was referring to? Thanks in advance

[@alex.ginola]
