Same notes, two identities. Imagined by the designer, the Gentle Fluidity duo sketches two distinct olfactive silhouettes, two perfumes using juniper berries, nutmeg, coriander, musks, amber wood and vanilla to express their full potential. Crafting the materials to express their full potential, Francis Kurkdjian takes on the challenge of composing two singular eaux de parfum with the same ingredients.
In Gentle fluidity Silver Maison Francis Kurkdjian, nutmeg and amber woods dominate to release a vibrant and comfortable trail. The essence of juniper berries, reveals an ultra-fresh and aromatic high note like a gin fizz balanced with dry spicy notes and balmy nutmeg notes. Alternatively soft and enveloping, powerful and dry facets of amber wood appear in the background. The aromatic woody Gentle fluidity Silver unisex eau de parfum is benevolent and free, deeply moving.
Nutmeg: The nutmeg tree can reach 15 meters in height. When ripe, the orangey-yellow fruits of the Myristica Fragrans implode and release an ovoid nut, covered with small irregular hairs, called mace. Once this membrane is removed, dried and ground, the nuts are steam distilled and give off a spicy, dry note like grated wood, reminiscent of the smell of an old book. A complex top-to-base note, prized among others for its role in the composition of woody and ambery fragrances for men and women.
Vanilla: Few people know this, but vanilla bean extract naturally has woody, leathery, almost animal accents. To smooth this dark side, Francis Kurkdjian has recreated his own vanilla accord. A more airy, gourmand and slightly spicy interpretation. The round, enveloping aspect comes mainly from vanillin, the main olfactory compound of vanilla, also used in food flavors for its particularly soft and sweet side. This accord brings comfort and sillage.
Juniper Berries: English Gin is emblematic of the taste of juniper berries, with its particular and striking aromatic flavor. In perfumery, the fruits of Juniperus Communis lend this same sensation of striking freshness. This shrub is present in Northern Europe and the Balkans. When ripe, the small blackish berries are dried before being steam distilled. The resulting oil offers a fresh, aromatic, spicy but also woody and slightly resinous top note. It can be found in colognes, men's fragrances and some women's perfumes; Francis Kurkdjian uses it to amplify certain floral notes such as the rose.
Amber woods: While there is a multitude of amber woods, their common denominator is the strength they bring to a fragrance. The range of possible tonalities is as vast as with musks. Some of them replace the animal effects once used, namely ambergris, a sperm whale excreta. Each major supplier of raw materials offers its own amber wood developed by synthesis. They are called Ambroxan, Ambrocenide, Cetalox or Cashmeran. Francis Kurkdjian's amber wood accord combines these synthetic notes with natural ingredients such as patchouli, sandalwood, cedar and vetiver. It contains multiple facets, powerful, dry, enveloping and rising. Its ingredients amplify the scent's sillage and hold.
Coriander seeds: It is not uncommon to come across this small aromatic herb in our gardens. Coriandrum sativum was already appreciated in ancient times. In perfumery, its leaves give a very particular oil with strong green metallic notes. The steam distilled seeds are commonly used. The resulting oil is fresh, zesty, slightly peppery and very floral, close to freesia. Francis Kurkdjian has even identified solar overtones due to the presence of linalool.
