Illuminate your senses with Maison Francis Kurkdjian&rsquo;s captivating fragrances

What comes to mind when you think of Paris? For us, it&rsquo;s the romance and mystery behind the historical French Capital that truly capture our attention. Besides its reputation as one of the most romantic places in the world, it&rsquo;s also known as the &lsquo;City of Lights&rsquo;, or &lsquo;La Ville-Lumi&egrave;re&rsquo; as the Parisians would say it, as it was one of the first European cities to adopt street lighting.
No matter the time of day, Paris never fails to impress with its majesty, allowing wanderers to experience the city in different ways, first during the day and then at night: a trait that inspired Master Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian to create two scents for his eponymous fragrance house&nbsp; &ndash; Petit Matin and Grand Soir &ndash; that encapsulate Paris&rsquo; distinct relationship with light.
In the collection, Kurkdjian recollects the emotions from his time in Paris by bottling the &ldquo;freshness of an early morning&rdquo; in Petit Matin and the &ldquo;radiance of a grand evening&rdquo; in Grand Soir. &ldquo;I live to the tempo of an enchanting and luminous Paris,&rdquo; says the perfumer. &ldquo;These unique, most cherished moments inspired me to create a duo of perfumes that can be experienced like an olfactory getaway in the heart of the City of Lights.&rdquo;

Freshness complements sensuality with the duo; Petit Matin with a musky-citrusy scent that embodies the perfect everyday perfume, while the woody-ambery notes of Grand Soir shine on nights out.&nbsp;Containing a lovely blend of orange blossom, litsea cubeba essence, lavender essence, hawthorn accord, musky accord and Ambroxan&trade;, Petit Matin takes us back to mornings&nbsp;brightened&nbsp;by the first light of day, drinking coffee in sun-lit terraces and watching the city prepare itself for another bustling day. A delicate scent that will put that pep in your step on mornings when you need it the most.

Grand Soir, on the other hand, captures the silky pleasures awaiting Paris at nightfall, where mysteries beg to be unravelled. Infused with an invigorating mix of cistus labdanum absolute, lavender essence, cinnamon tree leaves essence, benzoin and vanilla-ambery accord, Grand Soir sets the mood ahead of your grand evening, the perfect trail as you lose yourself in the city.
As a whole, this duo of Eau de Parfum encapsulate the essence of Paris in its spirit and codes, transporting the wearer to the dreamy city with every spritz. We can't think of a greater duo to add to your scent wardrobe if you're looking for something a little different this June.
