Francis Kurkdjian crafted Wild Thistle in 2017 for Burberry, a brand known for its lasting elegance and iconic British style. This Floral Green fragrance opens with the freshness of green leaves and aldehydes, creating an invigorating and crisp effect. As it settles, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley mingle with geranium and galbanum, adding layers of floral sweetness and aromatic complexity. The woody base notes ground this composition, offering a warm, earthy finish that contrasts beautifully with the initial freshness.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays for a balanced experience — the aldehydic top notes are bright and immediate, but they give way to the more complex heart and base notes within about half an hour. Ideal for daytime, it reads best close to skin rather than across a room.

“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.
