APOM by Maison Francis Kurkdjian: A Timeless Fusion of Elegance and Identity

Maison Francis Kurkdjian has unveiled a new chapter in its fragrance story with the 2024 release of APOM, an Oriental Fougere fragrance that redefines the concept of genderless scent. APOM, an acronym for 'A Part of Me,' is not just a fragrance but an intimate expression of identity and memory, crafted by the master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian himself.

Originally launched in 2009 as two distinct fragrances for men and women, APOM has undergone a creative transformation. Kurkdjian has expertly blended the most captivating elements of both the original versions, resulting in a harmonious scent that transcends traditional gender boundaries. This modern iteration of APOM is a reflection of Kurkdjian's personal journey, particularly inspired by his travels to Lebanon—a land rich in history and natural beauty, which deeply influenced the fragrance's composition.

APOM opens with a luminous burst of orange blossom, a note that exudes brightness and freshness, immediately drawing you into the fragrance's heart. As the scent unfolds, the aromatic presence of lavender emerges, adding a soothing yet sophisticated layer. This transition leads to the fragrance’s base, where the warm and comforting notes of vanillic amber intertwine with the soft, clean nuances of white musk. The composition is further enriched by the sunny and exotic aroma of ylang-ylang, which brings a sense of warmth and radiance to the fragrance.

This new APOM is a masterful balance of classic and contemporary elements, making it a versatile scent suitable for any occasion. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of personal connection, making it truly 'a part of you.

With this release, Maison Francis Kurkdjian continues to push the boundaries of perfumery, offering a fragrance that is not only an olfactory delight but also a poignant reminder of the places and memories that shape who we are. APOM is more than just a fragrance—it's an experience, a piece of art that lives on your skin.
