Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Oud Satin Mood EDP
“Dark velvet, candlelight, and the particular luxury of having absolutely nowhere to be.”
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.

- ●Outstanding longevity and room-filling projection
- ●Unisex in the truest sense — genuinely wearable across gender
Trade-offs
- ●Completely wrong for warm weather
- ●MFK pricing that's hard to justify even for the quality
