If you’re zipping through New York’s streets on a motorbike, you’ll get exhaust, more than a few bugs, and definitely some airborne dirt and dust in your face. However, if you’re French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and you’re zooming through the island roads of Formentera, an itty-bitty island located just south of Ibiza, then you’re getting a whole different experience — one that is more delicious, luxurious and hedonistic.
