Oud Silk Mood
Oud Silk Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2018 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, chamomile and bulgarian rose, moves into guaiac wood and dries down to papyrus and oud. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Chamomile Herbal, apple-like and calming. Quiet and a bit hay-ish.
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
Heart
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Dry-down
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
