Francis Kurkdjian conceives his fragrances with people in mind, and what he wanted for Amyris femme was to express the quintessence of the Parisian woman, which he defines as primesautiere, a word that means perky and impulsive.
He also conceives his collection as a fragrance wardrobe for every moment of the day and with the Amyris his n hers duo, he wanted scents that could be shrugged on for daywear. Chic, but comfortable enough not to demand major commitment before spritzing.
Amyris is a wood formerly known as West Indies sandalwood, which draws its name from the Greek amyron, intensely fragrant. It was in rediscovering its scent during exercises with his apprentice that Francis Kurkdjian was inspired to use it. The word itself included iris, which yields the core accord of the fragrance. Orris butter, a high quality variety with no rooty earthy facets and amyris, which teeters between sandalwood and cedar. To make the austere iris smile like an impish Parisienne, the perfumer wraps it in a sweet, plush lemon blossom and leaves accord and dabs it with a powder puff.
Amyris femme is a Holly Golightly of a fragrance, which sparkles and charms without trying too hard. Slip into it for the office, and it'll carry you effortlessly into champagne hour.
An ode to earth’s natural elements, Amyris Femme is a luminous eau de parfum that narrates an encounter between the Amyris tree from Jamaica and the Florentine iris. Top notes of lemon tree flower and Californian orange meld with a floral heart, while a confident base of vetiver and musky amber creates a warm, lingering finish. Amyris Femme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a fragrance for women. Amyris Femme was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian.
