Maison Francis Kurkdjian is the in-house fragrance brand founded by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, known for creating refined compositions that balance technical precision with wearable elegance. The house has built a reputation for sophisticated florals and woody fragrances that appeal to discerning fragrance enthusiasts.

APOM Pour Femme opens with bright bergamot, mandarin orange, and lily, supported by rose and ylang ylang for a fresh floral lift. The heart deepens into African orange flower and orange blossom alongside broom and white flowers, creating a luminous, slightly indolic floral character that leans delicate rather than heady. The base layers in amber, cedar, and vetiver with chamomile adding a subtle herbaceous quality, grounding the composition with warmth and woody depth that prevents the fragrance from feeling purely sweet.

This is a refined floral woody that suits those who appreciate classic feminine fragrances without excessive sweetness or projection. It works well for daytime wear, professional settings, or anyone seeking an elegant, understated scent that develops complexity over time. If you gravitate toward The Homesteader, The Sensualist, or The Tactician, this fragrance will likely resonate with your taste.

Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lily
Lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang
An exotic tropical flower with a dense, almost rubbery sweetness that can border on overwhelming, but in careful hands it adds an unmistakable lushness. It has banana-like and slightly medicinal facets that make it distinctive rather than generically pretty. A staple of heady oriental and vintage-style florals.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
African Orange Flower
African Orange Flower
Orange blossom from African-grown bitter orange trees with a slightly more animalic, honeyed depth than the Tunisian or Moroccan varieties. It has a rich, full-bodied sweetness with a waxy, indolic quality that makes it intensely floral. Used in high-end oriental fragrances when maximum floral richness is required.
Broom
Broom
The small yellow flowers of the broom plant have a distinctive sweet, slightly coconut-like, and intensely honey-floral character. Broom (genista) is one of the traditional raw materials of Grasse perfumery, with a warm, full-bodied sweetness and a slight animalic depth. It adds an old-fashioned, lavish richness to floral compositions.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
White Flowers
White Flowers
A family rather than a single note, white flowers in perfumery typically refers to an accord of white-petalled blossoms (jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, lily) blended to create a rich, heady, indolic warmth. The quintessential note of feminine oriental fragrances, sensual and enveloping.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Cedar
Cedar
Chamomile
Chamomile
Warm, apple-like, and slightly sweet, chamomile has a soft, herbal comfort that is instantly calming. Roman chamomile is fruitier; German chamomile is more herbal. Both add a gentle, honey-adjacent warmth to compositions. Used in soft florals and woody orientals to add a natural, approachable sweetness.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
