How it moves

You meet Bulgarian Rose, violet and strawberry at the door. Turkish Rose are where it actually lives. By evening it is agarwood (oud), vanilla, amber, benzoin, caramel and cedar, and it is better for it.

What wearers say

10,010 people have rated it, and they land at 4.2 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.

  • Widely praised as an opulent, elegant rose-oud with powerful projection and longevity that lasts many hours on fabric.
  • Many find the oud soft and westernized, lacking traditional medicinal bite, and the sweetness quite dense.
  • Generally seen as a sophisticated evening and cold-weather scent, though a few call it too rich for casual daytime wear.

Who made it

Francis Kurkdjian composed it in 2015, for Maison Francis Kurkdjian in France. Created by Francis Kurkdjian for his own house, Oud Satin Mood reimagines oud as a satiny, rose-and-vanilla veil rather than a raw, medicinal wood.
