A nickname inscribed in a child’s handwriting on the label of the iconic bottle. A sillage that resonates like a burst of laughter: joyful, spontaneous,  and deliciously nostalgic. Kurky – an outlier in the Maison’s collections – will surprise you. And that’s exactly what it was created to do: astonish, stand out. Defy our expectations and captivate our adult minds with its childlike spirit. 

“All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it,”, said Saint Exupéry’s Little Prince. Like an antidote to this tendency to forget, Kurky is a childhood fragrance created for adults. An invitation to dare, to experience life through a rainbow of colours. To awaken the remnants of insouciance and passion that lie buried deep within us. 

The packaging was directly inspired by Francis Kurkdjian’s childhood.  When he rediscovered a small box of Jordan almonds he received growing up, he decided to reproduce its stripes. To these he added personal drawings, inspired by his inner child. 

Inside the box, the Maison’s iconic bottle stays true to itself… almost.  More luminous than ever, the transparent glass features a peach colored lacquer finish, while the name Kurky appears in cursive on he label – in a child’s handwriting, of course.
