Product Description:

A comforting and sensual, the oud in Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud reveals imperceptible facets of wood, while highlighting its opulent qualities. Here is an oriental accord that will resonate in the mind. Always seductive, never aggressive, it is tied together by a sturdy heart of oak moss that evokes nature's hidden depths. The scent was launched in 2012 and the nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian.

The most precious of all agarwood, Oud is sourced from the forests of Laos. French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian coaxes sweet, spicy and warm feelings from the wood with a slow burn that melds with dry cedar and laotian oud to become both powdery and smoky. The ultimate must-have for the oud lover, we've blended this scent into an elegant and luxurious eau de parfum.

The Queen of Oud (Oudh) is the main theme of this intense woody perfume. It makes up the heart of what you smell, after having transformed everything else around it. The first few minutes on the skin are very warm, almost smoky. As it lingers, it changes into a creamy, soft, powdery scent that is very feminine. The opening notes are very powerful and medicinal...it's clear right away that this isn't your average oud perfume. Over time they blend to reveal a more complex floral character with the queen of oud always at the center.
