Kurky Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2025

This one is really weird. It's essentially a gummy-bear super sweet fruity accord over Bonne Étoile, the baby/children's scent M. Kurkdjian made for Dior. In Bonne Étoile, the ephemerality and subtlety makes sense, you don't want to put something long-lasting or powerful on a child, but why reuse that accord here in a mainline release for MFK? I get that he's trying to create a "child-like" scent, giving this perfume his childhood nickname, but this is, after all, a fragrance for adults. It certainly has an adult pricetag. I honestly prefer Bonne Étoile; the pear in the opening is more subtle, and I actually think it lasts longer. What a terrible release.
