Amyris Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian was launched in 2012, and it captures the essence of fresh aromatic woods with a subtle sweetness. The fragrance opens with Sicilian mandarin and rosemary, creating an immediate freshness that is both crisp and invigorating. This bright opening leads into the heart of amyris and iris, which add depth and complexity to the composition. The base notes of milk chocolate, coconut, coffee, tonka bean, and agarwood (oud) provide a warm and enveloping finish, balancing the overall scent with its rich and balsamic undertones.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The fragrance's top notes are bright and fleeting, so the heart and base notes will carry the scent throughout the day. It pairs well with a light jacket in cooler weather but can be worn year-round as it balances freshness and warmth.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
