From the brand - "OUD Maison Francis Kurkdjian eau de parfum builds on a most precious ingredient, oud wood, imagined on the outskirts of a marble palace with gold carvings and lost against a midnight blue sky thick with stars. Driven by cedar and patchouli, it enters into a sensual conversation on the skin. Saffron and elami add sparkle and a golden elusive presence. Combining east and west, male and female, this OUD eau de parfum is pure mystery, a spicy ambery perfume that is spellbinding, soothing and magnificent."
Fragrantica - "One of the best fragrances ever made for me, I have smelled alot of scents and there isn't many like oud Extrait, can detect there is alot of high quality ingredients in oud Extrait, great sillage and longevity, always get asked what I am wearing with this one, masterpiece"
Fragrantica - "Beautiful! Exquisite blend, best from the brand IMO. Dark, dry (almost powdery) vanillic-woody scent with soft dark spices, musky resinous component is there as well as a little of a soft green nuance. Everything in this scent convinced me it would be unwearable... until I tried it. This is very complex, the opening to me is OK and not the best part but within minutes it opens up and just amazes you. A must try, give it a couple of tests as it can be a little challenging in the
opening. The dry down is gorgeous!!!"
Fragrantica - "Oud Extrait de Parfum" by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a masterpiece that resonates with an unparalleled sense of luxury and refinement. From the moment it graces the skin, I am enveloped in a captivating aura of sophistication and intrigue. The rich aroma of oud, infused with smoky incense and spicy saffron, transports me to exotic lands steeped in ancient traditions and timeless elegance. With each inhale, I am drawn deeper into its hypnotic embrace, as layers of complexity unfold, revealing nuances of leather, patchouli, and velvety rose. The fragrance evokes a sense of opulence and grandeur, like attending a lavish banquet in a palace adorned with gold and jewels. As it lingers on the skin, Oud Extrait de Parfum leaves a trail of intrigue and allure, captivating all who encounter its beguiling scent. It's not just a perfume; it's an emotional journey through the realms of desire and enchantment, igniting the senses and stirring the soul with its intoxicating beauty."
