Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris | Kurky

The Kurky way of life !

Kurky的方式感受生活

A nickname inscribed in a child’s handwriting on the label of the iconic bottle. A sillage that resonates like a burst of laughter: joyful, spontaneous, and deliciously nostalgic. Kurky – an outlier in the Maison’s collections –will surprise you. And that’s exactly what it was created to do: astonish, stand out. Defy our expectations and captivate our adult minds with its childlike spirit.

一個獨特的暱稱以孩子的筆跡寫在經典瓶身的標籤上。那如同笑聲般迴盪的香跡,洋溢著喜悅、隨心與令人懷念的美味。Kurky——品牌系列中的一個異軍——將帶給你耳目一新的驚喜。這正是Kurky的創作初衷:驚艷、脫穎而出、出乎意料,以童心未泯的魅力俘虜成年人的心。

“All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it,”, said Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince. Like an antidote to this tendency to forget, Kurky is a childhood fragrance created for adults. An invitation to dare, to experience life through a rainbow of colors. To awaken the remnants of insouciance and passion that lie buried deep within us.

「所有的大人都曾經是小孩……但只有少數人記得這一點。」聖‧修伯里的《小王子》如是說道。猶如對抗遺忘的解藥,喚醒我們遺忘的童心,Kurky是一款為成人創作的童年氣息香水。Kurky鼓勵我們勇敢嘗試,以七彩繽紛的視角體驗生活,喚醒內心深處的那份無憂無慮與熱情。

A child’s take on fragrance

孩子視角的香氣

Can we remain children when we are adults? Yes, replies Francis Kurkdjian, who a few years ago created the only scented bubbles available on the market. For him, childhood is not a question of age, but a way of experiencing the world. An ability to be amazed. To dream. To dare.

成年人能否保留童心?Francis Kurkdjian的回答是肯定的。數年前,他創作了市場上唯一的香氛泡泡,對他而言,童心與年齡無關,而是一種感受世界的方式——對萬物感到驚奇、敢於夢想與冒險的能力。

An atypical fragrance in the Maison’s collections, Kurky was born just like that: spontaneously. A burst of pure creativity and freedom, without too much deliberation or scrutiny. The idea simply came to the Perfumer’s mind, completely out of the blue.

Kurky作為品牌系列中的一款非典型香氛,它就這樣隨心即興地誕生了:一款純粹的創造力與自由想像,沒有過多的深思熟慮或雅緻審視。這款香氛的創作靈感突然閃現在調香師的腦海中,如天外飛來的一筆。

To be a child is to look at the clouds and ponder their shape rather than wondering if it’s going to rain. Its means not taking life – or yourself – too seriously. Kurky is the fragrance for grown-ups whor dare to dream like kids.

Francis Kurkdjian

「作為孩子就是看著雲朵,思索它們的形狀,而不會擔心會否下雨。這是一種不將生活或自己看得過於嚴肅的態度。Kurky是為那些敢於像孩子一樣夢想的大人而創造的香氛。」

Francis Kurkdjian

A carefree scent

無憂無慮的香氣

Let’s forget about the serious side of traditional olfactory families, just for a moment And because we must put Kurky somewhere, let’s say it is a “fruity plush toy.” A fragrance that smells like candy, but not too fruity or gourmand – just enough to make your mouth water. A tempting perfume, like a sweet treat to be savored with both the eyes and the nose.

讓我們暫時拋開嚴肅的傳統香氛類別。如果非要定義Kurky,我們可以把它形容為「果味毛絨玩具」香氛。一款帶有糖果香味的香氛,卻又不過於果香四溢或美食調——恰到好處地令人垂涎欲滴。Kurky是一款充滿誘惑的香味,如同一道視覺與嗅覺的甜點盛宴。

Let’s also forget about classic fragrance structures and how the notes evolve from top to core to base. Kurky is a scent that instantly reveals itself exactly as it is, like a big grin and a rush of positivity. It features a mouth-watering, creamy tutti-frutti accord – the aroma of a box of candy. Its musky, slightly vanilla sillage is as reassuring as the scent of clean skin. An addictive fragrance that instantly allures and captivates – and is not easily forgotten. A bit like a nursery rhyme that you hum with a smile.

同時,讓我們一併拋開傳統香氛結構的框架,忽略那些由前調到中調再到後調的層次變化。Kurky是一款瞬間完全展開的香氣,宛如一抹燦爛的笑容和一股滿溢的正能量。它的核心主調是一種令人垂涎的奶油水果糖香調,彷彿打開一盒香氣撲鼻的繽紛糖果。其麝香與淡淡的香草香跡如同潔淨肌膚的餘韻,令人倍感安心。這是一款讓人瞬間吸引、一聞傾心且難以忘懷的迷人香氛,就像一首讓人微笑哼唱的童謠。

It is a carefree fragrance that conveys an insatiable desire for freedom.

這是一款令人無憂無慮的香氛,傳遞對自由的無盡渴望。

Kurky is here to remind us that there is no age limit for nurturing one’s inner child.”

Francis Kurkdjian

Kurky想提醒我們,任何年紀的人都能滋養心中那份童真。」

A burst of color

繽紛色彩的展現

Kurky’s joyous and colorful aesthetic brings a touch of whimsy to the Maison’s graphic codes.

Kurky的歡樂與絢麗美學,為品牌的經典設計增添了一抹俏皮與童真。

The packaging was directly inspired by Francis Kurkdjian’s childhood. When he rediscovered a small box of Jordan almonds he received growing up, he decided to reproduce its stripes. To these he added personal drawings, inspired by his inner child.

Kurky的包裝設計靈感源自Francis Kurkdjian的童年回憶。當他重新找到自己洗禮時收到的一小盒彩色糖衣杏仁(Jordan almonds)時,便萌生了重現其條紋設計的想法。在此基礎上,他更親自繪製融入了童心啟發的個人繪畫。

Inside the box, the Maison’s iconic bottle stays true to itself… almost. More luminous than ever, the transparent glass features a peach-colored lacquer finish, while the name Kurky appears in cursive on the label – in a child’s handwriting, of course.

在包裝盒內,品牌的經典瓶身幾乎保持了一貫的風格……但又略有不同。透明玻璃瓶身比以往更加明亮,塗上了一層蜜桃色漆面,而標籤上Kurky的名字則以手寫字體呈現——當然,是以孩子的筆跡寫下。
