Barakkat Satin Oud

2024

“Oud Satin Mood’s velvet-and-candlelight glamour, for the dressiest winter room you’ll walk into.”

Barakkat Satin Oud
rose
oud
amber

Fragrance World's 2024 Barakkat Satin Oud is widely positioned as an alternative to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud Satin Mood (2015): violet opens onto Bulgarian and Turkish rose with Laotian oud, over vanilla. Rose and oud lead the accords, with amber, vanilla and a powdery violet facet. A winter and fall evening scent.
