Maison Francis Kurkdjian Masculine Pluriel EDT

Description

Masculin Pluriel, launched in 2014 alongside its Féminin Pluriel counterpart, is Maison Francis Kurkdjian's woody aromatic study in duality: fresh grapefruit and lavender set against a warm, leathery patchouli-cedar base. Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian built it as a "plural" masculine: several classic barbershop-adjacent ideas (lavender, leather, cedar) layered into one cohesive composition.

It reads as confidently traditional rather than experimental. A modern take on the woody aromatic genre.
