I sat down with Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director at Dior, to talk about what really makes a fragrance unforgettable.

We covered everything from technique vs artistry, to why performance alone is not enough, and why there’s no such thing as the “perfect” fragrance.

Dior J'adore Intense is now out and available here: https://mfh.fyi/158de4

There are some brilliant insights in here, especially around confidence, individuality, and how fragrance should actually make you feel.

If you’re into fragrance, this is one of those conversations that shifts your perspective.
