Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Extrait De Parfum

Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s OUD satin mood Extrait de Parfum is an intensified version of the beloved EDP, designed to evoke the lavish, flowing drape of satin fabric. This heady amber woody fragrance deepens the original composition, focusing on amplifying the rich, sensual nature of its key components. Abundant roses, specifically Damascus and May rose, play a central role, utilizing their complex, naturally sweet, and slightly spicy facets to soften and round out the dark, animalic tones of precious oud wood. The result is a profoundly opulent scent with remarkable depth and presence.

The complexity of the Extrait is further enhanced by gentle violet blossoms, interwoven with the dominant rose and oud structure. Since natural violet perfume cannot be extracted directly from the flower, Francis Kurkdjian utilizes sophisticated odorous molecules known as Ionones. These molecules skillfully reproduce the fruity, gourmand, and slightly woody fragrance of the petals, lending a powdery, almost nostalgic facet to the blend. Complementary head notes of spicy cardamom and warm cinnamon introduce an immediate warmth, while geranium provides a subtle green aromatic lift, preparing the wearer for the rich heart.

As an Extrait de Parfum, OUD satin mood offers superior longevity and projection compared to traditional EDPs, ensuring the opulent fragrance trail—likened to the bright dazzle of a shooting star—lasts for hours. This concentration ensures that only a small application is needed to achieve a voluminous sillage. It is ideally suited for formal evening events, intimate gatherings, or whenever the wearer desires a commanding, luxurious olfactory presence. The deep, warm, and comforting profile makes it particularly stunning during cooler months, providing an enveloping sensation of richness and comfort.
