Homes sweet homes: Scented candle collection by MFK

"Homes have a soul and a story. They are the theater of our daily life, the testimony of an art of living, and a catalyst of emotions. They have always nourished my olfactory memory: my childhood home, my grandparents' apartment, my cousins' country house, the family holiday residence, my Parisian apartment... I translated these intimate places into scents and colours, into a collection of new fragrances to which I associated the word "home", so dear to my heart,” says Francis Kurkdjian whilst talking about the new collection.Es Cap – new launchAt the heart of this arid vegetation sits a refurbished barn where the minimal meets the essential. Es Cap is the elegance of simplicity, the luxury of silence and of an horizon that goes as far as the eye can see. It is red soil, burning white-hot from the summer sun, and radiant blue sky. It is the fragrance of a fig tree, whose voice is carried by a warm wind whipping against the breathtaking cliffs south of Formentera.Notes: fig leaves, cedarwood, dry wood accordScented candle - 280gRue des GroseillersRue des Groseilliers is the street where Francis grew up about twelve miles from Paris.

A candle with a smooth and flowery sweetness, lightly honeyed and spicy, sustained by a burst of quince.Notes: quince, rose, plumScented candle – 280 gLa TrouverieA farmstead located deep in the French countryside of Le Perche, La Trouverie was the stage for his carefree escapades, games of hide-and-seek, building wood cabins and chasing butterflies. This candle awakens his childhood memories through a sweet aroma of fresh straw that tickles the nose, mingling with lavender and flirting with rosemary and thyme.Notes: thyme, lavender, rosemaryScented candle – 280 gLes TamarisLes Tamaris is his little corner of paradise on the Atlantic coast, between Bordeaux and La Rochelle. It’s a family home in the heart of nature, where the only sounds are the chirping of crickets and the crackling of parasol pines. Like a summer breeze, Les Tamaris carries the scent of the everlastings and acacias that grow along the footpaths leading down to the sea.Notes: immortelle flower, parasol pine, acaciaScented candle – 280 gAu 17Franics love Paris, its magic and free-spirited vibe.
