Cool, fresh, and elegant!
Gentle Fluidity Silver is a perfume that feels like a cool spring morning, when the air is still fresh and clear. Like a silver knife gliding through ice. You spray it on and immediately feel as if you are walking through a forest full of hoarfrost - the juniper berries give you that tingling, almost icy freshness, while the coriander seeds bring a slight spiciness that wakes you up. But before it gets too cold, warmth comes into play.

It's as if the fragrance says, "Don't worry, I'll keep you warm." Nutmeg and musk wrap around the fresh opening like a cozy blanket, without losing clarity. The vanilla stays in the background, providing just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. This is not a perfume that shouts - it whispers.

The longevity is strong but not intrusive. You'll have the scent with you all day long, but more as a discreet reminder that you are wearing something special. The sillage is like a gentle trail that accompanies you - present, but never too much. Sometimes you'll even forget that you're wearing it until a movement or a gust of wind brings it back to your nose, and you think to yourself, "Yes, that was a good decision today."

It is for those who want to combine freshness with elegance. It's not the typical "fresh out of the shower" scent, but has depth and character. When you wear it, you have that feeling of confidence, as if Francis Kurkdjian himself is winking at you and saying, "You're doing it right."

The Elegant Aura of the Golden Man
Gold Man is not just a perfume; it is a way of life captured in a bottle. It is the scent for the man who has danced through life and has now reached the well-deserved retirement. A man who enjoys the luxury of shaping his days freely through wise planning.

This fragrance opens with a fresh, citrus note - like the cool morning air you feel when you are the first to step onto the golf course. It is the olfactory awakening, a promise for a day filled with small pleasures and delights.

In the heart note, a symphony of noble woods and fine spices unfolds, reflecting your vibrant energy and youthful spirit, even in the years of retirement. These notes tell of your passion for the game, of the joy of the tee-off and the precise putt.

The base note reveals deep, earthy accords that underscore your connection to nature and your calm self-confidence. You can feel how you appreciate the simplicities of life - the stillness of the morning, the green of the lawn, and the warmth of the sun.

Gold Man is not an everyday scent. It is the fragrance for those moments when you wake up early to enjoy the silence, when you are one with the game and nature. This scent is like a quiet companion that reminds you that the true joys of life lie in the simple things.

Wearing Gold Man, you surround yourself with an aura of serenity and dignity. It is the scent for the man who has learned to enjoy life and sees each day as a gift. The fragrance is a hymn to the joys of retirement, the elegance of age, and the golden age of being.

More than just fresh laundry
I received 724 directly at release and have been wearing and testing it daily since then.

For those who want to quickly categorize the scent, they could certainly say "fresh laundry."

And if one is looking for a comparison with MFK, I would describe it more as a kind of all-star mix. I am alternately reminded of "Aqua Universalis (Eau de Toilette) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian," "Amyris Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian," and also "Lumière Noire Homme | Maison Francis Kurkdjian." But in the most positive sense and with its own character.

For me, 724 is truly successful and shows style and depth when given the chance. I find it slightly more masculine than feminine, which overall makes it a perfectly rounded creation.

I also find the longevity very good - just like an EDP from MFK. Quite longer than an EDT but not as long as an Extrait. Even the next day, you can perceive it close to the skin, distinctly and quite sweetly.

This scent immediately sparks my imagination...
I see a more mature gentleman, yet still in his prime. He is dining in a large group at the local Greek restaurant. He has been eating there for decades. A stocky, sun-tanned man. Dark, dyed, full hair, a mustache that would make Magnum envious. He wears a summery shirt, his sleeves slightly rolled up to showcase his stainless steel Submariner. He wears it very openly to let his full masculine chest hair breathe. Resting on it is a gold chain, which he bought with his first contractor salary during a holiday in Turkey.

His presence is felt throughout the establishment. He expands it by using his arms on the corner bench to create the space he needs to give expression to his stories, which they require. His deep, bass-heavy voice gently makes the whole restaurant tremble. His laughter is heartily loud, yet firm and with a strict undertone. He is unfazed if others in the restaurant are riled up about his appearance. Everyone at the table listens to him attentively. He is the alpha in this group.

The devoted restaurant manager is, of course, addressed informally and called out from the table across the room: “Philippos, get us another round of Ouzo.”

The young daughter of the manager comes to the table to refill drinks. Playfully, he leans over to her and slips a 20 into her apron. With a wink as he bids her farewell, he rewards himself with a glance at the departing pretty waitress and then continues his monologue.

His narcissistic, impulsive nature has cost him his wife, but as a contractor, it has brought him to where he is now. He knows no guilt, at least not towards the German state. He pays enough taxes already. At some point, that should be enough!

He is loyal to his employees. He treats them well. Those who do their job well might receive a hearty pat on the shoulder. The pain caused by this is gladly accepted, as it is seen throughout the company as an honorable distinction.

Those who do not do their job will feel it too. He can raise his voice and might even bang his fist on the table a bit more forcefully to express his displeasure.

After dining and a few more Ouzos, he orders his usual 2 espressos, which are, of course, served one after the other. After taking a sip from the first cup, which disappears in his hand due to his toilet lid-like hands, a slightly derogatory remark with a clearing of the throat must not be missed. “tzehe… one might think they want to push Lavazza on me again...”

Still at the table, he lights his cigar in an exaggeratedly long manner until a more than stable ember exists, before he boldly pushes the table half a meter forward with a jolt and makes his way in slow motion to enrich the terrace with his aura and masculine Nero scent.
