Maison Francis Kurkdjian (MFK) was founded in Paris in 2009 by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya and is now part of LVMH. The house is defined by the Baccarat Rouge 540 phenomenon, arguably the single most-referenced niche fragrance of the last decade, and a compact, high-craft catalogue around it. Scendira lists 90 MFK fragrances with 31 in stock, priced $25 to $945. The catalogue leans fresh-unisex on average. Community top five in stock: Amyris Homme Extrait (citrus-tonka-vanilla, 2019), Oud Satin Mood Extrait (rose-cinnamon-oud-vanilla, 2017), Masculin Pluriel (lavender-vetiver-leather, 2014), Oud Extrait (saffron-oud-cedar, 2018) and Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait (almond-saffron-cedar-amber, 2017). The Baccarat Rouge 540 family (EDP, Extrait, hair mist, body cream) is the anchor for buyers first coming to the house; Grand Soir, Gentle Fluidity Gold, Aqua Universalis and 724 round out the modern reference set.
