Many other successes will follow with more recently, For Her by Narciso Rodriguez or Colognes de Dior and 3 Colognes Daniel Hechter (release scheduled for July 2013).

But he also gives free rein to his creativity in his own House Francis Kurkdjian founded in 2009 where he offers a collection of Haute Couture fragrances . With as a guideline a refined universe where the luxury of details and know-how is cultivated, from the selection of the most noble raw materials, to the refined elegance of its design.
