This is a very nice refreshing fragrance, but, as other reviewers have mentioned below, it’s nothing special. There are quite a few fragrances in a similar (citrus-floral-musky) vein in Kurkdjian’s catalogue (Petit Matin, Absolue pour le Matin, Amyris pour homme, the entire Aqua line…) Yes, there are some subtle differences among them, but they’re all more-or-less interchangeable. It’s like the difference between wearing a plain white vest top and a plain white tee. 🙂

Bright,floral and luminous. This perfume is a fresh spring morning, a light refreshing wind blows … refined, modern and beautifully balanced. Beautiful harmony of notes perfectly unisex, this is another great scent of Mr.Kurkdjian! Fantastic, joyful and luminous. I have nothing more to say.. I love it!

As a lover of both citrus and lily of the valley, I was excited to try 754 – especially given Francis Kurkjdian’s beautifully clean interpretation of the accord in Aqua Universalis. So it came as quite a shock when I picked up very little citrus, and almost no lily of the valley, upon the first spray of my sample. Instead, as a reviewer below noted, this is a musk bomb – the white musk in 754 is incredibly prominent on my skin. There is a hint of lemon, followed by a timid lily of the valley, but the laundry musk dominates.
Indeed, 754 should have been classified as a floral woody musk, like its nearest olfactory cousin – which, somewhat surprisingly, is Calvin Klein’s 1996 blockbuster follow-up to CK One, CK Be. The musks are incredibly similar, a perception that is bolstered by the citrus-musk-sandalwood accord both scents share. If you added CK Be’s splash of lavender, 754 would be even more similar.
Would I pay niche prices for this? No – not unless CK Be was a great love, and I was looking for a better-lasting alternative. But as it stands, there are much better offerings from this house to choose from.

Does it stand out enough from Aqua Univers and Aqua PLM to be worth the $300 price? Is there anyone out there with a decant to sell?

Wow, this turns into a Muskfest on my skin. For those of you who tend to get strong musk odors on your skin from perfume, this is one to avoid. And I really wanted to like it! It sounded gorgeous. I have Kurkdjian’s Carven L’eau de Toilette with the sweet pea notes, and that one that smells wonderful on me. Unfortunately, the midnotes on this are completely lost, after the initial burst of the lemon dies (about thirty seconds), and then it’s all musk and vetiver.

This is another beautiful creation from the master Francis Kurkdjian. Reminiscent of two of his earlier creations from his eponymous line, Aqua Universalis Forte and Absolue pour le Matin, yet has the ability to stand on its own uniqueness. A luminous hersperidic opening with sweet lemon, which will brighten anyone’s mood instantaneously. Softly and slowly the exquisite floral heart shines through. This is a gentle and delicate floral accord produced by the restraintful use of freesia, sweet pea, and lily of the valley; all three of which I consider demure members of the blooming flower community. Sandalwood and white musk offer just a bit of warmth. Said to be created to mark the 111th anniversary of Bergdorf Goodman and be representative of a “bright blue Manhattan morning”. It is certainly a stunner for Spring. Although it is listed as unisex, this does lean slightly feminine due to aforementioned floral notes. All in all, you can not go wrong with this glorious scent.
