Launched in 2018 by Elie Saab, Le Parfum in White is the result of a collaboration between perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Jérôme di Marino. This Chypre Floral fragrance opens with bright citrus and fruity notes like mandarin orange and red berries before giving way to a heart of jasmine and orange blossom. The warm base notes of white amber, vanilla, patchouli, and benzoin create a rich, powdery warmth that envelops the wearer in a cocoon of sensuality and elegance.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays on pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow the powdery base to build gradually over time. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or special occasions when you want to make an understated yet memorable impression.

“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.
