Extrait de Parfum

Overview

The Limited Crystal Edition brings perfume and decorative craftsmanship together: an exclusive extract housed in a Saint-Louis crystal flacon.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian presented the edition in 2011 through its Paris boutique. The announcement described ten 200 ml crystal bottles, with gold or platinum detailing and the option of a personalised engraving.

There is a distinct floral-resinous perfume inside, rather than an ordinary catalogue fragrance simply transferred into a more elaborate bottle. The scale, materials and presentation make this as much a collector’s object as a personal fragrance.

A collector’s object with its own perfume

The interesting part is that the crystal presentation contains an exclusive fragrance. Its floral, incense-and-resin direction suggests something richer than the house’s light, clean Aqua perfumes.

For most buyers, this is a historical curiosity rather than a practical next bottle. A tiny rating sample cannot tell you whether the perfume justifies a collector’s price. If you encounter one, confirm the contents, bottle condition and provenance instead of buying on the crystal alone.
