Oud
Description
The fragrance opens with a spicy, almost frankincense-like effect, created by elemi and saffron. The heart is composed of oud, a wood that grants a slightly animalic effect. The drydown offers a hint of the drier tonalities of patchouli plus woody-leathery waves of Atlas cedar, as well as a sweeter facet with just a hint of vanilla.

Francis Kurkdjan’s dream of Arabia
History
‘Oud,’ by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, is an invitation on a voyage to a thousand-and-one-night palace in the silence of the desert. Oud, the fragrance’s key ingredient, ‘has something rough and primitive about it, an untamed animal quality that needs to be ‘sensualized’ … like wrapping a big cat’s soul in silk’, the perfumer explains. Francis Kurkdjan describes Oud as a bewitching, mysterious and narcotic scent that can suit men and women equally. For more information: www.franciskurkdjian.com

I am curious Kurkdjian. Master of the art of perfumery. While Oud doesn't feel like a woman's scent, this sounds fantastic for a man who loves woods and wants something different for a change. A mischievous cat wrapped in silk is "like the cat's pajamas" as we say here in USA.

Un oud pas comme les autres, un oud cocon, voilà ce que pourrait être le Oud de F. Kurkdjian. Intéressant, car pas du tout brutal, chassant les facettes un peu âcres et animales du bois de oud derrière une tempête de cèdre, d'iris, de violette, de muscs blancs et de notes vanillées, il dévoile une douceur à laquelle on ne s'attend pas quand on nous promet un 'oud'.
