The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian launched Ciel de Gum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian in 2013, crafting an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances warmth and spiciness with floral subtlety. The composition opens with a harmonious blend of cinnamon and white florals, leading into a heart of rose and soft spices. It settles into a base of amber and vanilla, creating a cocooning warmth without overpowering the senses.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the spicy notes are immediate but not aggressive. The amber and vanilla base will bloom slowly over time, making it perfect for an evening out.
