Maison Francis Kurkdjian OUD Mood Eau De Parfum 70ml Unisex

Maison Francis Kurkdjian OUD Mood Eau De Parfum 70ml Unisex is olfactory treasure, inhabited by the Arabian magic of The Thousand and One Nights

Oud wood from Laos is the foundation of OUD Maison Francis Kurkdjian eau de parfum, which is set in a marble castle with gold carvings and a midnight blue sky filled with stars. OUD is an invitation to discover an intense and elegant Orient.

Atmospheric cedarwood and intoxicating patchouli from Indonesia are at the heart of this perfume. Elegance and mystery are added by the addition of Saffron and Elami. This OUD eau de parfum is a spicy oriental scent that is entrancing, calming, and majestic, combining the best of both the east and the west, and appealing to both sexes.

Infusing the skin with Oud wood and gourmand vanilla notes, a magnetic whole emerges. Desire goes far beyond burning, shimmering, vibrant. With Oud  Mood, time stands still.

Patchouli

This aromatic plant, which is native to Indonesia, emits almost no scent when planted in the ground.

To create its pungent compounds, the leaves must first be dried and allowed to ferment

In order to get the most of the oil's potential, it must be matured in barrels once it has been extracted. Maison Francis Kurkdjian OUD Mood Eau De Parfum 70ml Unisex smells like smokey wood, dirt, camphorated sweetness, even mustiness when fully matured in Pogostemon cablin.

It's been compared to the stench of a musty cellar by others. Patchouli was once seen as a touch vulgar despite its popularity among upper-class French women in the late 1800s. Hippie culture of the 1970s took it as a symbol of freedom and popularized the smell. However, despite its once-scandalous past, the scent's potent appeal means it can be found in both women's and men's fragrances.

Saffron

The most costly spice in the world, known as "red gold," comes from the pistil of a species of crocuses. Because of the presence of the highly allergic component safrol, natural saffron is rarely utilized in perfumery. Saffron, a derivative of saffron, is able to replicate its effects. It has a strong, bitter, slightly metallic scent that blows hot and cold across the remainder of the composition, as well as a leathery, tarred undertone. It's a favorite of Francis Kurkdjian's because it helps cut through the sweetness of citrus notes in the fragrance's top layer. It is frequently linked to Oud-based scents and amber accords from the Middle East.

Cedar from Virginia

When you sharpen a pencil, you get a woody, dry, slightly spicy, and creamy scent. Juniperus Virginiana is the genus name for this North American cedar, which is often known as red cedar because of the color of its wood. This particular cedar is employed in the center and base of perfumes, giving the woody theme a sense of verticality. The animalic and leathery Atlas cedar, the drier Texas cedar, and the smoky Chinese cedar are the other three main types of cedar used in perfumery.

Elemi

The frankincense and myrrh tree family includes this towering tree from the Philippines. Canarium, like others, creates a gum-resin when cut. In China, it is used as an incense and a cure for a variety of diseases. A distillation of this white gum produces an essential oil that is sought after by perfumers. The top notes of lemon, lemony pepper, and incense are revived by this fragrance's balsamic woodiness, which lingers into the heart.

Oud from Laos

The mystery surrounding its formation is only surpassed by the strength and complexity of its musky, woody, leathery, smoky, and honeyed perfume. Agarwood is a Southeast Asian tree whose fungal infestation is responsible for producing this fragrance (Aquilaria). Only diseased specimens produce an aromatic resin from which an oil can be produced. Poaching is common since it is a highly sought-after and expensive ingredient in East and Southeast Asia.

So, Francis Kurkdjian has chosen an Oud from Laos that is manufactured in accordance with fair and sustainable trade standards. When combined with other woods such as cedar and sandalwood, it has a spellbinding scent.
