By Paris, the City of Lights has long been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and performers alike. For Francis Kurkdjian, the founder of Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Paris is more than just a city – it’s a state of mind. In 2016, Kurkdjian captured the essence of Paris in two iconic perfumes: Petit Matin and Grand Soir.
These two eau de parfum embody fleeting moments of beauty that make Paris unforgettable. Petit Matin with its musky and citrusy notes evokes the freshness of an early morning in Paris. Imagine waking up to the sweet scent of orange blossoms, the freshness of litsea cubeba and the subtle hint of lavender. Petit Matin is the perfect scent for those who crave the freshness and vitality of the morning.
As the day gives way to night, Grand Soir takes centre stage. This ambery and woody perfume captures the radiance of a grand evening in Paris. Its depth of cistus labdanum, sweetness of vanilla and warmth of benzoin, Grand Soir is an olfactory splendour that bursts with sensuality.
Both perfumes are now available in a convenient 35ml format perfect for carrying in your bag and applying throughout the day. Whether you’re in Paris or simply dreaming of the City of Lights, Petit Matin and Grand Soir will transport you to a world of beauty and enchantment.
As Kurkdjian says, “Paris is a state of mind, a way of living a way of being.” With Petit Matin and Grand Soir, you can experience the essence of Paris wherever you go.
