Up for grabs: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Pluriel Masculin

Posted by Robin on 1 August 2014 64 Comments — Comments are closed

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Pluriel Masculin

What is it: a 70 ml bottle of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Pluriel Masculin. The bottle is new but I've used it to make a 5 ml decant, so the winner will get about 65 ml.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment on the website telling me that you live in the US. Then tell me either a) your favorite fragrance from perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, or b) your favorite fougère fragrance or c) something else you've been dying to post in a comment.

Be sure to use the “Post a comment” box; do not reply to another comment! All replies to comments will be deleted!

The contest will be open until noon or so next Friday, and I'll announce the winner over the weekend.

The fine print: Don't enter the contest unless I have permission to use the email address in your reader account to contact you. If the email address in your reader account is incorrect, you might want to fix it. If you are the winner and you fail to send me your mailing details within a couple weeks, I’ll give your prize away to someone else. Sadly, it sometimes usually takes me a month to mail a package. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, I’m sorry but I cannot replace them.

    Hey Robin, I live in the U.S.
    My favorite Kurkdjian? I’m actually going to go outside the box with his Papier d’Arménie line of paper incense!

    I’m just barely in the continental US, close enough for the mail to come to the area :)

    My favorite Kurkdjian is Apom pour Femme, and favorite fougere is Mona di Orio’s oriental fougere Violette Fumee.

    I live in the U.S. I love Hugo Boss Sport which was introduced around 1987 but discontinued. That’s probably my favorite fougere.

    I live in the us, still looking for a favorite fougere, although fou dabsinthe is probably the favorite so far.

    I’m in the continental US! I’ve never owned or tried one of his scents, but I think the bottles are really cool! I also am not much familiar with fougeres – now I have to research! I would still like to be considered for the giveaway! And thanks so much!

    I just saw a comment about MdO’s Violet Fumee – and I have tried that one with my Olfactif subscription and adore it – so that’s my vo

    I live in the US. Looked over the list of Kurkjians on fragrantica. Seems the one i would have to say i like the most by him is Guess Night. Haha.

  11. bookgirl says:
    1 August 2014 at 4:58 pm

    Hi Robin! I do indeed live in the US. My favorite fragrance from Francis Kurkdjian is Lumiere Noire Pour Femme, and I’m lucky enough to own a bottle. It’s gorgeous and sexy and I get a ton of compliments when I wear it.

  12. sarcon says:
    1 August 2014 at 5:13 pm

    wow, what a great giveaway! I live in the US. Gosh, my favorite fougere? There are so many classics! I’m going to say Grey Flannel. It reminds me of my dad.

  13. nsquared says:
    1 August 2014 at 5:58 pm

    I live in the US. a) my favorite fragrance signed by Francis (hope I can do a ‘signed by’ pick) is Lancôme Miracle Homme, b) favorite fougère is Cartier Roadster. Thanks!

  14. hajusuuri says:
    1 August 2014 at 6:18 pm

    I live in the U.S. This is likely the first time ever that I used fougere in a sentence.

  15. relleric says:
    1 August 2014 at 6:30 pm

    I live in the US. I thought I had more FK frags, but the only two I own are JPG Le Male and Fleur du Male, with my favorite being FdM. Thanks Robin! :)

  16. Vlada says:
    1 August 2014 at 6:44 pm

    I live in the US and my favorite is Pour Le Soir.
    Thank you!

    1 August 2014 at 7:25 pm

    I live in the US!

    Ok, I’m not very good with most perfume terms, so does my Narciso Rodriguez for Men count as a fougère? I think it does. Haha! I’m thinking it means green for some reason, and NR4M is one of the FEW greens I love, and the only one I own I think. Haha! I adore it, and drenched my bottle when I first got it, so now I’m conserving what’s left, cuz I don’t think it was a big hit like for Her. : /

    Good luck everyone! And thanks for the chance Robin and NST!

    I am also a big fan of his APOM paper incense. I love the creativity of his non perfume scent products (the bubbles crack me up!) I live in the US.

  26. gvillecreative says:
    1 August 2014 at 10:37 pm

    I live in the us! I love FK’s frags. Aqua Universal (the original) is probably my favorite. Even though it is clean, it’s brightness is really stunning. Like staring at the reflection of the sun on a very clean pool. Quite bright and lovely.

  27. katsura says:
    1 August 2014 at 11:36 pm

    I live in the US. I don’t normally care for musk, but I really liked Narciso Rodriguez For Her. Didn’t know Francis Kurkdjian also did Caudalie Zeste de Vigne, two very different scents that I both really enjoy.

    My favorite Kurkdjian fragrance is APOM pour homme, but I’ve also been curious to try Fleur du Male (apparently taking the orange blossom in a fougère direction). Please enter me in the draw–I’d love to give this one a try!

  38. ponyboi says:
    2 August 2014 at 10:06 am

    Hi Robin
    I live in the US
    Favorite FK fragrance: Gaultier2
    Something I’ve been dying to say:
    Why do they discontinue well done good fragrances in designer/ mass market?
    We know the answer of course…

    Hello Robin

    I live in the US too.

    As for my fave fougere, it’s the one which with one sniff, I always feel transported back to my roots in the British countryside where I had a hobbitlike childhood. It’s Penhaligon’s English Fern.

  51. b.institut says:
    2 August 2014 at 11:48 pm

    3 August 2014 at 12:51 am

    Greetings all; I live in the US and I don’t have a favorite Francis Kurkdijan fragrance yet… so I’ll defer and just wanted to say thank you for the awesome site. Been dying to say that.

    I live in the US and you may email me.

    We were having our usual Sunday visit with family and in-laws today and an elderly relative with dementia unintentionally soiled himself. Most people moved to the other side of the room from him and I resolved to wear a perfume with a strong civet note next time we visit so that people will think it’s me.

    Great giveaway Robin!

    I live in the US.

    I love MFK and fougères, so I’m thrilled to learn the house has created one! One of my most beloved bottles of all time is Lumière Noire pour Femme.

  61. parfumnut says:
    4 August 2014 at 11:45 am

    I live in the US! Thank you so much for the opportunity. My favorite MFK fragrances are Elie Saab Le Parfum L’Eau Couture, Joop Muse and Guerlain Rose Barbare. I would love to have the opportunity to try the Pluriel Masculine it sounds delicious :)

  62. Absolute Scentualist says:
    4 August 2014 at 3:33 pm

    Thanks for the contest, Robin. I live in the U.S. While I do love Absolue Pour Le Soir, it isn’t a perfume I’d dare where everywhere. There are so many Kurkdjian perfumes I like, but I think many of the Narciso Rodriguez concentrations are my favorite, especially the edp and the oil. They are so perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing about either one.

  63. rev320 says:
    4 August 2014 at 4:19 pm

    I’m in the US and would love to win a bottle. My favorite from MFK is Absloue Pour le Soir.
