Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud - EDP (70ml)

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is a masterclass in modern, elegant perfumery, transforming the raw, animalic intensity of traditional oud into a smooth, refined, and exceptionally wearable scent. It is designed to be the "golden thread" of a fragrance, focusing on harmony and balance rather than raw power. By blending the precious Laotian oud with luminous spices and soft woods, it creates an aura of timeless luxury that feels both mysterious and impeccably polished.

Fragrance Profile:

Family: Amber Woody

Key Notes: Laotian Oud, Saffron, Elemi Gum from the Philippines, Cedarwood, and Patchouli from Singapore

Key Features:

Olfactory Experience: The fragrance opens with a vibrant, spicy, and resinous blend of saffron and elemi gum, which immediately introduces a bright, almost luminous top note. This clears the stage for the heart: a high-quality Laotian oud that is expertly blended to be woody, slightly sweet, and incredibly smooth, devoid of the "barnyard" or medicinal harshness often found in lesser compositions. The dry-down is the ultimate expression of refinement, with a backbone of clean cedarwood and earthy, dark patchouli that provides a sophisticated, long-lasting, and linear presence on the skin.

Artistic Vision: Francis Kurkdjian designed this fragrance to be an accessible, luxury-focused entry into the world of oud. It is less about shocking the senses and more about elevating the wearer, designed for those who appreciate high-quality materials and a composition that feels seamless, luminous, and aristocratic.

Versatility: Due to its linear, balanced, and perfectly blended profile, this is an incredibly versatile signature scent. It performs brilliantly in professional environments, formal dinners, and social gatherings. Its resinous depth makes it ideal for autumn and winter, while its clean, airy woody structure allows it to be worn with sophistication even in milder, temperate climates.
