The year draws to a close in Paris, buzzing with the Christmas spirit. A gigantic red ribbon emblazoned with the Maison’s signature soars joyfully through the City of Lights unveiling the finest treasures of the French capital: one by one, the icons of Paris’ cityscape – from the Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde’s Luxor Obelisk – are transfigured into Maison Francis Kurkdjian creations.

A sunny winter morning shines down on the ribbon as it glides back to where it all began: Francis Kurkdjian’s own office, based in the heart of Paris ever since the Maison’s foundation in 2009. In the perfumer’s hands, it becomes the final flourish crowning the most unforgettable gifts — presents that turn Christmas into a time of shared wonder, joy and generosity.

More than ever before, offering Maison Francis Kurkdjian gifts this Christmas means imparting a piece of Paris’ timeless magic.
