Maison Francis Kurkdjian is launching Fragrance Wardrobe Essentials in Japan, available in limited quantities at designated boutiques from October 28. The discovery set contains eight 11mL travel-size fragrances, priced at ¥45,540 including tax in Japan. The announcement concerns the Japanese launch; it should not be extended into a worldwide debut or treated as a Taiwan price.
The fragrance-wardrobe idea allows scent to change with mood, season and occasion, much as clothing does. The set brings different compositions and concentrations together rather than asking its user to choose one signature immediately. Its contents need reading carefully: Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are separate entries. Eight bottles do not mean eight entirely different collection names.
Eight 11mL fragrances: check the names and concentrations
The set includes Aqua Universalis Eau de Toilette; Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum; Gentle Fluidity Gold Eau de Parfum; Gentle Fluidity Silver Eau de Parfum; Kurky Eau de Parfum; Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum; Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum; and Grand Soir Eau de Parfum. Each is 11mL, giving 88mL when the stated volumes are added. That calculation does not imply that buyers can substitute another format or select any eight fragrances.
The two Baccarat Rouge 540 versions offer one comparison within a shared name, while Gentle Fluidity Gold and Silver form another pair of distinct works. The Maison presents contrasting fragrance silhouettes as an expression of freedom of choice rather than dividing the set into fixed male and female selections. Personal preference can guide a choice; gold or silver hardware alone is not a reliable description of how a fragrance smells.
From fresh to warm, with no prescribed order of discovery
The brand places Aqua Universalis in a light, fresh direction and describes Oud Satin Mood through an enveloping satin-like image. Kurky emphasizes fruit and musk, while Grand Soir draws on Paris at dusk and the depth and warmth of amber. These descriptions help map the range inside the box. They remain the brand’s characterizations, rather than the findings of a fragrance trial conducted by us.

For someone encountering the Maison for the first time, the smaller formats provide a way to explore its work over several occasions. A wearer already familiar with one fragrance can also consider a less familiar direction. Performance can vary with the wearer and setting. This article does not guarantee a fixed number of hours for any scent or assume that a higher concentration will be everyone’s preference. Use should follow the packaging directions and individual circumstances.
Five Japanese boutiques, with price and stock checked by market
The Japanese announcement names Maison Francis Kurkdjian boutiques at Ginza Mitsukoshi, Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Hankyu Men’s Tokyo, Hankyu Men’s Osaka and JR Kyoto Isetan. The list provides places to inquire; it does not establish that every store has stock at the time of reading. Remaining quantities, reservation arrangements and in-store purchase conditions require confirmation with each boutique.
Official product photographs show eight slender travel bottles and a presentation box, with fragrance names on the bottles to help distinguish them before use. Travel format describes the size and presentation. It does not establish the inclusion of an unlisted travel case, accessory or gift. For readers considering a purchase in Japan, the useful checks are the full set name, eight contents, tax-inclusive yen price and selling boutique before deciding whether it meets their needs.
