Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris 
Grand Soir Cleansing Gel

Grand Soir hand and body cleansing gel gently cleanses the skin and delicately perfumes the body and the hands. On contact with water, the gel is transformed into a rich scented foam for a moment of comfort and sensorial well-being. Rinse off and indulge fully in the fragrance. The skin feels soft, moisturized and supple.

Ambery and woody, vibrant and captivating, Grand Soir is an olfactory splendor bursting with sensuality. From the very first instant, the depth of a cistus labdanum, lavandin, and cinnamon leaf accord is revealed, while the sweet warmth of an amber-vanilla accord with bezoin facets prevails in the base notes.

Presented in an elegant bottle, this cleansing gel has a smooth texture that instantly soothes the skin, leaving it soft, comfortable, and protected.

- The Parisian fragrance house embodies the precise elegance of an artist who understands perfume as a form of expression. His compositions follow a clear signature style—characterized by purity, sophistication, timelessness, and the courage to reinterpret classicism.

- At the age of 24, Kurkdjian was already making perfume history: with “Le Mâle” for Jean Paul Gaultier, he created an international bestseller that set new standards. But instead of resting on his laurels, he sought new paths – freedom in the art of fragrance. In 2001, he founded his own workshop for bespoke fragrances and worked with greats such as Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz, and John Galliano. His work for fashion houses such as Dior, Guerlain, and Saint Laurent cemented his reputation as a visionary.

- His curiosity took him beyond the boundaries of perfumery: artists such as Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo, and Sarkis commissioned him to create fragrance projects that blended art, space, and scent. Fragrance installations in institutions such as the Grand Palais, the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, and the Palace of Versailles made him a pioneer of a new, multisensory form of art.

- In 2008, Francis Kurkdjian was awarded the title of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres for his achievements—an honor that underscores his status as an artist, craftsman, and pioneer of modern perfumery.

Lather on wet skin and rinse off with clean water.
