A Scented Symphony: Houston Tastemakers Gather at Maison Francis Kurkdjian
On Sunday, August 24th, the city’s cultural pulse slowed to a luxurious rhythm inside the new Maison Francis Kurkdjian boutique at River Oaks District—only the third flagship location in the world. Hosted by Erica Dias, Shav’ee Ho, and Alicia Armstrong, the private gathering was more than a fragrance showcase—it was an ode to community and accomplishment.
Guests immersed themselves in the artistry of Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s most iconic scents, a reminder that fragrance can be both memory and statement. Between the notes of oud and citrus, conversations sparked, glasses clinked, and Houston’s tastemakers connected with intention. Lite bites flowed into bubbly, and the night closed with a caviar tasting—a nod to refinement without pretense.
In true Hip-Hop fashion, the event celebrated not just luxury but resilience and hustle. The evening was less about flexing and more about affirming that hard work deserves recognition, that taste and culture walk hand in hand. Maison Francis Kurkdjian didn’t just open a boutique in Houston; it opened one of only three flagships worldwide—a rare space where elegance meets authenticity.
