Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s 'Kurky' is putting a playful twist on luxury fragrance, launching exclusively at Bloomingdale’s on March 18. With a two-week lead at the retailer, Kurky is set to make a bold impression through immersive pop-ups, in-store experiences, and striking window displays on Third Avenue.
Inspired by childhood memories, Kurky blends tangy tutti-frutti notes with creamy musks, offering a nostalgic and modern scent. Housed in a peach-lacquered bottle with whimsical doodles, the fragrance captures the essence of pure joy. Originally crafted by Francis Kurkdjian as a personal gift for friends and family celebrating new beginnings, Kurky now invites fragrance lovers to embrace their inner child with every spritz.
Bloomingdale’s, riding a wave of record-breaking fragrance sales, is pulling out all the stops for this launch, proving once again that luxury can be fun, vibrant, and deeply personal.
