#latergram last year I was lucky to do the grooming for
@franciskurkdjian_official for
@vman and I guess I was a little star struck after all he created one of the first fragrance I ever wore.
Thanks
@mavedon212 always a pleasure to work with you.

In the beauty industry, it’s widely known that
@franciskurkdjian_official is a perfume prodigy. An icon in his own right, Kurkdjian has been making noise for our noses since the ‘90s (Remember Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier? Everyone say “Thank you, Francis!”)
But when the news broke back in October of 2021 that Christian Dior Parfums appointed the Armenian fragrance phenom as its new perfume creation director, the partnership was met with great fanfare, as Francis has been reinterpreting some of the maison’s most beloved fragrances such as ‘J’Adore’ and ‘Miss Dior’ to name a few. When the time came for Kurkdjian to reimagine #Sauvage, the classic men’s scent that your father, brother, or (more likely) a naughty ex-boyfriend has in their cabinet, the perfumer wasted no time in propelling the scent into the future via an alcohol-free, water-based update called ‘Sauvage Eau Forte’—as seen in the pages of VMAN 53!
