Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood Eau De Parfum

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood Eau de Parfum was launched in 2013 and composed by the celebrated perfumer Francis Kurkdjian himself. This unisex fragrance elegantly combines Eastern opulence with Western refinement, resulting in a sophisticated scent that’s both airy and richly textured. With its sheer floral overtones anchored by resinous depth, Oud Silk Mood is an olfactory interpretation of flowing silk — light, sensual, and luxurious.

The opening of Oud Silk Mood is marked by the bright citrus sparkle of Italian bergamot and the lush romanticism of Damask rose from Bulgaria. The rose unfurls in full bloom, velvety and slightly jammy, while bergamot adds a crisp, citrus-green brightness that lends the composition an ethereal lift.

At the heart, Moroccan blue chamomile introduces a breezy herbaceous nuance, lending a subtle aromatic character. This is beautifully layered with guaiac wood, whose smoky-sweet aroma adds structure and a faint leathery whisper. The interplay of floral and woody notes here creates a refined elegance that is both soothing and complex.

As the fragrance settles, Laotian oud anchors the composition with rich, resinous depth. It’s smooth rather than animalic, polished and well-blended. Papyrus brings a slightly earthy, papery dryness, adding to the fragrance’s whisper-soft, silky trail. The base is deep yet airy — a perfect balance that stays true to the "silk" mood.
