Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood is a unisex Eau de Parfum that presents oud in its most refined, floral-forward form. If Satin Mood is oud wrapped in rose and vanilla, and Velvet Mood is oud in dark spices, then Silk Mood is oud draped in the lightest, most delicate rose and herbal notes.

It is the most transparent and wearable of the Oud Mood trilogy. The opening features Bulgarian rose, chamomile, and bergamot.

Bulgarian rose brings its deep, jammy, rich floral beauty. Chamomile adds an unusual, slightly herbal, apple-like softness that is calming and sophisticated.

Bergamot provides citrus brightness. Together they create an opening that is floral, slightly herbal, and immediately elegant.

The heart of guaiac wood and hedione develops the composition with woody freshness. Guaiac wood brings its smooth, slightly smoky sweetness.

Hedione adds a bright, transparent, jasmine-like freshness that lifts the composition and gives it an airy quality. Together they bridge the floral opening and the oud base.

The base of agarwood and papyrus creates a distinctive, woody, slightly dry finish. Agarwood brings its dark, smoky, animalic richness, presented here in its most polished form.

Papyrus adds a unique, dry, slightly green, papery quality that gives the base an intellectual, almost literary character. Oud Silk Mood works well in fall and spring, ideal for those who love oud but want something lighter and more approachable.

It is perfect for daytime wear and occasions where bold oud would be too much.
