Gentle Fluidity
The 2019 fragrance of the oriental gourmet group. Eastern pyramid: juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, musk, amber, woody notes and vanilla.
From the first notes there is a sweet, slightly dryish non-confectionery vanilla, in which there is no sugaryness. The aroma opens up well on the skin, pleasant nutty notes and creaminess appear, amber beautifully sets off the notes, it is quite soft here. With such a scent, the hand itself reaches for a beautiful lipstick and a light romantic mood turns on. Many people compare Gentle Fluidity with Montal, indeed, there is a similarity, but Gentle Fluiditysofter and more elegant. As for stamina - they last all day, I give an A.
Men's opinion: delicious sweet scent that attracts attention. My husband acts as a man's opinion, once again I was convinced that men have their own opinion on fragrances. Of course, everything is individual, men are also different.
Oud Cashmere Mood
A 2013 fragrance from the Kurkdijan oud line. Pyramid small: benzoin, vanilla, labdanum and oud.
Of course, you should understand that oud aromas are not the case when everyone likes them. They are quite specific, therefore, very much an amateur. Kurkjan's oud is powerful, rough, there are more calm oud compositions. I applied one micro-drop to my wrist and was transported to a tire store, which had a fire. I wanted to run away. After 4 hours, in addition to oud, labdanum began to be heard, but the aroma did not soften even by evening.
Men's opinion: sincere misunderstanding of how money can be paid for the smell of burnt rubber. I haven’t announced the price to him yet, I didn’t begin to injure the male psyche. Persistence, by the way, is 10 points out of 5, it was not possible to wash it off 3 times!
A la rose
This fragrance was released exclusively for the Japanese market in 2014. Pyramid: bergamot, orange, violet, magnolia, rose, cedar, musk.
Despite the pyramid, I A la rose Maison Francis Kurkdijan is more of a mono rose scent. There are two of them in the pyramid - Bulgarian and Grasse. If you listen very well, you can distinguish a light citrus drop at the start. A crumpled bed, the sun from the window wide open and a gorgeous bouquet of delicate roses as a good morning from a beloved man appears. Over time, the aroma gets a little blurry, you can update, of course.
Men's opinion: pleasant aroma, like a face cream. Medium longevity, typical of rose fragrances.
Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum and Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait de parfum
Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum - one of the most sensational aromas of all times and peoples, they scold him, idolize, do not understand, want to. Released in 2015, the pyramid is interesting: jasmine, saffron, woody amber, amber, spruce resin and white cedar. The whole point is that someone hears the pharmacy notes, iodine and bandages, but on someone it opens up with strawberry jam, the sweetness of sugar cockerels on a stick.
The aromas on my cold skin do not always reveal in all their glory, but here I was very lucky. Baccarat Rouge on me is beautiful, dear, unlike anything else. There are medical notes, but how surprised I was that they can be pleasant! And this is despite my hatred of hospitals. There is also sweetness, but not cloying, but delicate. Luxurious!
Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait de parfum released in 2017, the pyramid is slightly different, but the aromas are similar: bitter almond, saffron, jasmine, white cedar, musk, woody notes, amber. There are also debates around him about bandages and iodine, they scare someone, but someone does not hear them and denies them.
I have less medical notes in this version, but more woody ones. I can distinctly hear almonds, how beautiful it sounds against the background, it's just an olfactory thrill! Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait softer and more delicate, although in general the aromas are similar to me.
Men's opinion: persistent and categorical no iodine smell. Beautiful play and overflows were leveled. Yes, men often like more comprehensible scents. The persistence of Bakkar is simply gorgeous, even after a shower, the aroma lasts. Super-economical (but not as milk yield as oud).
Apom femme
A floral fragrance released in 2009 with a small pyramid of orange blossom, ylang-ylang and cedar. Apom femme Maison Francis Kurkdijan is a mega-feminine scent. Introduces herself as a gorgeous woman who is confident in her beauty and feminine charm.
The orange blossom (well, confused with citrus) is very beautiful here, and the ylang-ylang is thick and languid. I feel as if there should be an iris in the pyramid. I do not see it on young girls, in my opinion the aroma is adult (but not age-specific). I want to inhale and inhale it, it's hard to come off, such a beautiful play of notes, velvet overflows.
Men's opinion: purely positive, which is a good sign! The persistence is excellent, I noticed that this is the forte of Maison Francis Kurkdijan.
I ordered such a set of 6 scents of 2 ml each for only 14 euros (less than a thousand rubles) on a tip beloved Helpful on the official website, I share link. You choose 4 fragrances, and 2 go as a gift. Delivery is free all over the world, it comes quickly.
