Maison Francis Kurkdjian - APOM pour femme - EdP
APOM is a concentration of "A piece of me", a bit of oneself that one leaves on others.
APOM is an inspiration that came to Francis Kurkdjian from the beauty of men and women, from the harmonious colors and flavors of the Middle East, so often told to him by his grandmother, and that he rediscovered during his travels to Lebanon. APOM is the power and softness of orange blossom and cedar wood.

The flacon
The inspiration for the falcon is an example in crystal that Fred Rawyler, who conceived and executed the graphic design, found while antiquing, one originally designed to be part of a traveling toiletries case.

He asked the glassmakers to create angles as alive as possible without appearing too aggressive. To underline this artesian work, he added a small signature - the monogram of the House - at the back of the flacon, much in the manner of artists signing works with pride.

The stopper
Maison Francis Kukdjian wanted a stopper made of a material emblematic of Paris. They chose an alloy of zinc. Zinc is alive and interesting in that it refuses uniformity. Thus, no two stoppers are identical; each has its own unique variation dependent on the density of the grey color. They made the same choice for the bases of the candles. The alloy is only treated to prevent oxidation.
The packaging
Maison Francis Kukdjian wanted the perfume flacon to be the precious jewel that one discovers in its case after all other wrapping is removed. While packaging is often included within the case to protect the flacon, here they created a corrugated wrapping for the outside, a covering to protect both the flacon and the case (which is perfectly fitted to the dimensions of the flacon). It is only when opening the case that one discovers that it is gilded with warm gold on all its interior faces and leads to the perfume in its immaculate universe. It is a luxurious package that one comes upon slowly and deliberately...
