History
724 arrived in 2022 on an abstract theme: shades of white. Francis Kurkdjian draws on the rhythm of the city that never sleeps, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, from which the fragrance takes its number.
The house evokes a fresh urban accord, like the smell of New York laundromats at dawn, underlined by aldehydes with metallic, effervescent facets. A floral, airy aura follows, carried by jasmin absolute, sweet pea and mock orange.
The base closes on an accord of sandalwood and white musk, clean and luminous. The house speaks of an "urban blue," and underlines its graphic stance down to the bottle, whose chiseled typography mimics digital printing.
Fragrance notes
Here are the notes of 724, from the urban accord to the musky base.
From the aldehydic urban accord to musky sandalwood, 724 keeps a white, graphic clarity, almost abstract.
Scent profile
724 opens clean and effervescent: the fresh urban accord and aldehydes give a metallic glow, an almost soapy white that evokes clean linen more than flowers.
The heart blooms without weight: jasmin absolute, sweet pea and mock orange lay an airy floral aura, luminous and transparent. It is a contemporary white floral, never heady.
The base sets sandalwood and white musk, soft and clean, which extend the clarity without weighing it. Longevity is fair, the sillage clean and discreet. An urban floral musk, easy, worn by day like a light garment.
