The brand gives its satin-like oud stronger ambery accents, with plentiful roses and gentle violet around it. A strong oud perfume is a big step, which is why a 10 ml decant makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolet, Geranium, Oud, Centifolia Rose, Damascena Rose, Vanilla Amber Accord, Cinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViolet and geranium\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe note list gives no pyramid, but violet and geranium come first on it. They bring a soft, powdery, slightly green opening before the oud. On a sample this early stage is gentle, and it shows how the brand eases you toward the darker wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOud softened by two roses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOud is the centre, and the brand says plentiful roses, Centifolia and Damascena, soften its dark, animal side. That is the idea of the perfume: a satin finish on a wood that could otherwise be harsh. Whether that softening feels right is something you judge on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVanilla amber and cinnamon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vanilla amber accord and cinnamon bring warmth and sweetness at the end. The brand describes a heady ambery trail, compared to a shooting star crossing the desert sky. This is the stage where the Extrait differs from the Eau de Parfum, with the amber stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a cool autumn or winter evening and apply the decant on clean skin, using only a little, since this is an Extrait. Smell the violet and rose at the start, then the oud as it settles, then the amber. Wear it on a second day to see whether the oud feels comfortable to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like oud but want it smooth and rounded with rose and amber rather than raw. It is unisex and strong, suited to evenings and special occasions in cold months. It will interest anyone who knows the Eau de Parfum and wants to see how the Extrait differs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOud is one of the most divisive notes in perfumery, and a strong Extrait with roses and amber is a serious purchase at 70 ml.

It is not a brand sample, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in an Oud Satin Mood sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original Maison Francis Kurkdjian bottle and labelled by us.
