The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Masculin Pluriel is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the essence of modern masculinity. Created by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, this composition opens with an aromatic blend of lavender and earthy notes before settling into a rich base of patchouli and leather. The fragrance strikes a balance between freshness and depth, making it suitable for both day and evening wear.
One or two sprays are enough — the aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour, while the base of patchouli and leather lingers for hours. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
