Interview with Francis Kurkdjian
Lively, restless like an elf seeing everything, speaking fast, and thinking even faster, I can understand he’s used to confront head-on with things, without “dragging it out”. He’s one who watches well ahead, he’s already travelled a mile while others are still wondering about the meaning of what he’s just done. An innovator, brilliant, versatile (he works in three areas: industry, his Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and bespoke fragrances), and seem to see challenges like lifeblood . At 25 he was already famous with Le Male (JP Gaultier), and a few years after, he was creating Narciso Rodriguez Pour Elle , then the Dior Colognes ... as well as fragrances for Guerlain, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancome, Versace and many more.
