OUD eau de parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian masterfully combines warmth, elegance, and uniqueness, drawing inspiration from the captivating ingredient oud. This ingredient, which is also known as oudh or agarwood, intrigued Western perfumers decades ago and became, and still is, a compelling element in niche perfumery.
This perfume harmonizes Eastern and Western influences, presenting an accessible yet powerful and intriguing fragrance. Crafted from authentic natural oud from Laos, it seamlessly blends with cedarwood, patchouli, saffron, and elemi resin.
The fragrance unfolds like a sensory symphony, with saffron, and elemi notes creating an initial burst of spicy allure, transitioning smoothly to the warm, woody heart of oud from Loas. Settling into a velvety base of cedarwood and patchouli, the fragrance leaves a lasting trail of sensuality.
OUD by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a testament to the perfumer's mastery, seamlessly marrying tradition with modernity to produce an alluring, timeless scent that radiates elegance and sophistication.
