Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Eau De Parfum

Launched in 2015, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Eau De Parfum is a sumptuous and sensual unisex fragrance that blends the opulence of oud with the elegance of florals and resins. Crafted by Francis Kurkdjian himself, this composition is a decadent interpretation of the Orient, designed to evoke the fluid, shimmering movement of satin fabric—soft, radiant, and enveloping. It is a fragrance that speaks of luxury, intimacy, and timeless sophistication.

The fragrance opens with the rich, romantic glow of Damascena rose oil and Damascena rose absolute, paired with a soft violet accord. The roses provide a full-bodied floral heart that is both fresh and deeply velvety, while the violet introduces a powdery elegance and a whisper of cool, airy sweetness. This floral opening is sensuous and smooth, setting a regal tone.

At the core of Oud Satin Mood lies the heart note of Laotian oud, one of the most prized varieties of oud in perfumery. Its presence is deep, woody, and slightly animalic, yet remarkably smooth and refined in this blend. Rather than overpowering, the oud is seamlessly integrated, lending mystery and complexity without becoming dark or aggressive.

The base is a warm, resinous cocoon of vanilla, amber, and benzoin. These notes create a luscious, almost gourmand quality—creamy and comforting, with just the right balance of sweetness and balsamic warmth. The vanilla enhances the silky texture, the amber adds a golden glow, and the benzoin brings a smooth, incense-like softness that lingers sensually on the skin.

Oud Satin Mood is known for its powerful sillage and exceptional longevity. It is particularly suited to evening wear, romantic occasions, and cooler weather, though it can be worn year-round by those who favor bold, luxurious scents. Its silky richness makes it a fragrance that leaves an unforgettable impression.
