OUD satin mood Maison Francis Kurkdjian extrait de parfum puts abundant roses playing with their sensual nature to round out the dark and animal tones of oud wood before intertwining them with gentle violet blossoms.

OUD satin mood extrait de parfum is a heady ambery perfume with an opulent fragrance trail, like the bright dazzle of a shooting star which cuts through the desert sky. Despite its readily identifiable and popular perfume, the violet is a mute flower, as it is impossible to extract its perfume naturally. Only the leaves and stems can be used for extraction.

The green scent of spicy cucumber they exude is antithesis to the flower's scent. To reproduce the fruity, gourmand and slightly woody fragrance of its petals, Francis Kurkdjian uses odorous molecules called Ionones (ionos means purple in Greek), discovered and made available to perfumers at the end of the 19th century. In feminine perfumery, the violet lends a powdery facet or a gustatory sensation that blends beautifully with rosy notes.

Its green facet is widely used in men's fragrances.
