| JASMINE AWARDS LECTURE 2007 |
| |
| In October, the Jasmine Awards Committee invited beauty journalists for tea at the Covent Garden Hotel to meet one of the most creative perfumers of recent times, Francis Kurkdjian. Originally trained in music and ballet, Kurkdjian admits that his strongest love was fashion, but being unable to draw, turned to perfume as the means by which
he could enter that exciting world. |
| |
| Having been introduced to the celebrated nose Chantal Roos, he was invited by her to work on the creation of Le Mâle for John Paul Gaultier. This first creation at the age of just 25 was the stepping stone to award-winning fragrances for high profile houses such as Lanvin, Dior, Guerlain, Armani, Narciso Rodriguez, Kenzo, YSL, Lancome
and Versace. In his 12 years as a master perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian has created more than 40 branded fragrances. His most significant trait is his eclecticism in work and style. |
