“Dark velvet, candlelight, and the particular luxury of having absolutely nowhere to be.”

rose

oud

Francis Kurkdjian's 2015 launch in MFK's Oud Mood collection — the most rose-forward member of the trio. A rose-oud-vanilla unisex fragrance with Bulgarian rose, violet, and strawberry at the top, Turkish rose in the heart, and an oud-vanilla-amber-benzoin-caramel base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, evening, 9-10 hours with strong projection.
