Wear Kurky first, decide later
Kurky by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. What it contains is not on record with us, so the description stops at the facts we have. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
We have the name and the house of Kurky, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
On request means we do not have Maison Francis Kurkdjian Kurky ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Kurky that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
When to wear Kurky is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
For Maison Francis Kurkdjian Kurky no target wearer is recorded here. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Kurky from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Kurky, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Kurky as it was when we filled it.
The brand
Maison Francis Kurkdjian, co-founded in Paris in 2009 by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, treats perfume as a wardrobe: a set of scents you choose from according to mood. Several exist in two concentrations, and one pair, Gentle Fluidity, uses the same six ingredients for two different results. A wardrobe is something you try on, and with 10 ml decants you can compare an eau de parfum with its extrait on your own skin before deciding.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
