Francis Kurkdjian created Kenzo World for the brand in 2016, positioning it as a vibrant floral with a modern twist. The fragrance opens with a burst of red fruits and peony, creating an immediate freshness that feels both sweet and bright. As it settles into its heart and base notes, Egyptian jasmine and ambroxan add depth and warmth, transforming the initial brightness into something more complex and inviting. Kenzo World captures the essence of the brand's multi-cultural influences, blending traditional floral elements with a contemporary edge.

Application Tips
Apply Kenzo World in light sprays to avoid overwhelming its nuanced layers. The red fruits top notes are fleeting, so wait a few minutes for the peony and jasmine to emerge before heading out. Best suited for daytime wear when its vibrant freshness can shine.

“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.
