Oud
Saffron, elemi, agarwood (oud) — read like that it sounds simple. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is not.

How it moves
Saffron and elemi hit first, the way an opening line should. The middle belongs to agarwood (oud) and patchouli. What is left hours later is cedar and woody notes, and that is the part people follow you for.
