Francis Kurkdjian created Eau de Lit for Guerlain in 2006, and the composition is a harmonious blend of aromatic and musky notes with a fresh, citrusy opening. The fragrance evolves into a soft spicy and powdery heart that transitions seamlessly to an herbal, floral base. This transition creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a cozy bedroom enveloped in delicate scents.

Apply Eau de Lit to pulse points for an intimate yet long-lasting effect. The citrus notes are bright but fade quickly, so the powdery musk and floral base will carry the scent through the day.

“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.
