Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour le Soir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Absolue Pour le Soir opens with Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Honey and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Benzoin. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Absolue Pour le Soir carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is MFK's most divisive creation, a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of alluring, dirty honey, while others recoil from its intense animalic character. Not for the faint of heart, it's either pure magic or a scrubber.

About

Imagine a rich, dark amber swirling with thick, almost syrupy honey, given an unsettling edge by warm cumin and smoky incense. A soft rose and creamy ylang-ylang peek through, delicately balanced against the earthy woods and resinous benzoin, culminating in a deeply animalic and musky warmth that lingers on the skin.
