Written By Lamaya Mahboob

Have you been purchasing the wrong Maison Francis Kurkdjian (MFK)? Don’t worry, you are not the only one. I have been there as well.

Now the question is: how do you make the next purchase correct?

After hours of researching the notes, smell and performance of many fragrances from this niche house, I will be suggesting you the best MFK perfumes from the women’s section.

Do not skip a bit to know every detail of this house.

What are the Best Maison Francis Kurkdjian Perfumes?

Francis Kurkdjian is an American perfumer born in Paris. In 2009 he opened his own perfume house after failing being a dancer. He, himself is one and only nose of this house up until now.

The floral scents of this niche brand are very popular. It may be a new niche house but it has made its fandom very quickly.

So, here are the best smelling MFK perfumes for women:

MFK A La Rose: A Bottle of Love and Feminism

Top notes are Calabrian bergamot and California Orange;
Middle notes are Bulgarian Rose, Grasse Rose, Violet and Magnolia;
Base notes are Cedar and Musk.

A La Rose was released in 2014 by Francis Kurkdjian. I was intrigued to purchase this fragrance only after reading its name.

Who does not like a rose scent, right?

And, of course, Maison Francis Kurkdjian did not disappoint me. Its quality is top notch.

A La Rose starts its journey with light fresh citrus. It does not take too long for the rose to come through. The crisp rose smells like it has been picked from the garden right away.

The mixture of wood and musk is found in the dry down. But the base notes do not give this fragrance any weight. It is a faint scent all the way till its end.

MFK Amyris Femme: Playful yet Mature

Top notes are Lemon Blossom and California Orange;
Middle notes are Amyris and iris;
Base notes are Vetiver, Musk and Amber.

Amyris Femme was gifted to me by one of my friends. So for some reason, I did not try this one for a long time. However, when I did, I absolutely fell in love.

It has a little bit of citrus and floral. This fragrance has found the ultimate between being playful and mature. It is both at the same time. Amyris Femme gives off a lot of effervescence and sparkles.

A great part of this perfume is every single note works well with the other and that all come together to provide a musky and amber base.

Both projection and longevity of this scent are moderate with a lasting power of 4 to 6 hours.

WHEN TO WEAR:

A classic summer and spring scent.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

  • Receiving compliments is a must.
  • Citrusy and floral scent.

MFK Feminin Pluriel: Light and Airy Floral

NOTES: Iris, rose, violet, lily-of-the-valley, vetiver, Indonesian patchouli leaf, orange blossom and jasmine.

A lot of my friends suggested that I should purchase Feminin Pluriel. After avoiding them for a long time, I finally got it recently. And, oh, I regret not having it sooner in my life.

It is a light and breezy floral scent which smells like a flower garden. It is hard to pick every note individually in this fragrance because all the florals are blended together all too well.

As the time passes, the vetiver comes out more and more. After one hour or so, the patchouli kicks in and I love the way it develops on my skin.

The perfume remains very effervescent throughout its longevity. And it stays for 7 to 8 hours on my skin.

MFK L’eau A La Rose: Roses in the Air

Top notes are Litchi and Pear;
Middle notes are Damask Rose, Grasse Rose, Peony and Violet;
Base note is Musk.

I was so excited to hear that MFL is releasing L’eau A La Rose which is a lighter version of A La Rose. I just knew I would love this one as well because I was so into A La Rose.

Litchi and peony contribute to making this fragrance sweet and watery. The rose is very unique here because it’s bold and light at the same time. Musk partners with litchi later on then they enchantedly dance on your skin.

Although it is a lighter version of A La Rose, their performance is quite the same. It gives me a longevity of 6 to 7 hours.

People who don’t like rosy scents won’t get bothered by L’eau A La Rose because it does not overpower or make them nauseous.

WHEN TO WEAR:

This happy scent is amazing for spring and summer. It is perfect as office wear.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

  • Very fresh.
  • Signature scent.
  • Easy-going.

MFK Apom Pour Femme: Clean White Floral Scent

NOTES: Ylang-Ylang, African Orange Flower and Virginia Cedar.

Do you like white floral scents? Cause this is what Apom Pour Femme is; a clean and soft white floral perfume.

It has a cloud of floral with a mild woodsy base. Although the woodsiness is not that pronounced. The smell is so natural that it feels like therapy for your soul.

Look, I would definitely spray this after shower because it has a clean and crispy vibe. The scent is quite powdery at the beginning however that changes with time and becomes creamy.

Apom Pour Femme is a very friendly scent. People will 100 percent give a position comment when they smell you. I get a longevity of 6 to 7 hours with good projection.

WHEN TO WEAR:

The texture of the perfume is thick and creamy so it’s appropriate for winter and fall.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

  • Very feminine.
  • A mature scent.
  • Easy to wear fragrance.

MFK Lumiere Noir Pour Femme: Smells like Delicious Fruity Jam

NOTES: Rose, Narcissus, Patchouli, Caraway and Red Chilli Pepper.

Looking for a fruity and jammy rose scent which does not give you a headache? Then Lumiere Noir Pour Femme is for you.

Out of all the florals, rose pops up the most. They don’t say that they have bergamot in the notes.

However, in my nose I can smell a combination of rose and a little bit of citrus which does not overpower the rose but gives it a different touch.

This perfume has a gourmand side without having any edible notes as it smells like tasty jam. The jamminess will make you feel like it contains black currant as well but it actually doesn’t.

The rosy-jammy scent is great all year around except summer.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

MFK Le Beau Parfum: Bright & Sparkly White Floral

MFK Le Beau Parfum

NOTES: Tuberose, Madagascar Ylang-Ylang, Tunisian Orange Blossom and Indian Jasmine.

Le Beau Parfum is a sunny and sparkly white floral scent.

According to the notes, this perfume is supposed to have only one dimension which goes towards white floral.

However, it has a lot of different dimensions which is one of the prominent reasons why I love this fragrance so much.

As MFK is known for their great floral scents, this one is no different. It has a lot of tuberose and jasmine in a bouquet.

The fragrance is bright and sparkly but it does not lose its integrity of the beautiful complexity each of the unique white floral has.

WHEN TO WEAR:

Definitely a summer and spring scent. I would prefer to wear it in the daytime.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

  • Versatile.
  • Receiving compliments is a must.
  • Amazing floral scent.
