Oud Satin Mood Maison Francis Kurkdjian EDP
ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE
A free interpretation of oud wood, a rare and precious material, this OUD Satin Mood Maison Francis Kurkdjian Eau de Parfum reflects the creator’s desire to bring a shimmering Orient to life. Wrap yourself in the woody oriental scent to suspend time and lose yourself in the depth of the here and now. Transported by the finesse of the violet accord, the oud wood from Laos bows down to the essence of rose from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey to then blend into the rich vanilla amber accord. Oud satin mood is a to be delicately worn against the skin like a rich fabric.
Damascena Rose
Damask rose's appeal lies in its highly distinctive honeyed accents and slightly spicy scent. Originally from Persia, it is now cultivated in Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. It has generous rosy floral notes used mainly in the heart and base of a fragrance.
Violet
The green scent of spicy cucumber the violet stem exudes 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. 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.
Oud from Laos
The power and complexity of its musky, woody, leathery, smoky and honeyed scent is only matched by the mystery of its creation; largely random since it depends on the fungal infection of a Southeast Asian tree also known as Agarwood (Aquilaria). It is among the most sought-after ingredients in the East and in Asia, and is also one of the most expensive, resulting in poaching. This is why Francis Kurkdjian has chosen an Oud from Laos produced according to the principles of fair and sustainable trade. He combines its vibrant notes with intense flowers, spices and other woods for a bewitching sillage.
Vanilla Amber Accord
The amber used in perfumery has nothing to do with the yellow amber stone, which is ornamental but has no smell, nor with ambergris, which refers to an animal extract from the sperm whale. It includes two flagship ingredients, cistus labdanum, with its warm, resinous, animal facets, and vanillin, a new, sweet aromatic compound, which is the primary component of vanilla. The combination of these two warm and persistent notes has been considered to form the amber accord, generally enriched with tonka bean, coumarin and resins such as benzoin or incense, which are all base notes.
Benzoin from Siam
The smell of benzoin is multi-faceted: sweet vanilla, with a gourmand caramel effect, honeyed, syrupy. Its enveloping properties are used as a base note, and perfume both Orthodox churches and Buddhist temples.
