It isn’t because Francis Kurkdjian called this fragrance just plain Oud
that he meant it to be a plain-vanilla oud. The man couldn’t be
pedestrian if he tried. And what he’s gone and done is work what he
calls “the ambergris of the 21st century” into a quintessentially
elegant French perfume, taming the growling exotic beast until it purrs
with pure bliss on a silk cushion.
This is an oud even the most ouded-out could curl up with.
Sweetly leathery and animalic, with the touch of honey real oud gives
off – and there is real Laotian oud in the blend. With its citrus and
pepper facets, elemi resin adds sparkle to the top notes. Saffron
brings out the leather effects of oud, set into the tenderest woods:
the leathery, almost jam-sweet Atlas cedar, and a lavish, un-musty
patchouli.
Francis Kurkdjian says he composed his Oud while dreaming of a
marble and gold palace in the desert sands fit for “the prince of raw
materials”. He’s done more than that: he’s turned oud into a flawlessly
elegant classic of the perfumer’s palette.

| How to Use | A perfume can be a delicious whisper that reminds people "I'm here" Make sure your signature scent is saying what you want it to. Apply the fragrance to any of your pulse points, where the warmth of your body helps project the scent more: behind your knees, the inside of your wrists and elbows, at the base of your throat, and behind your ears or diffuse a 'cloud' of perfume in the air and walk through, this will give you an even, all-over scent. Your hair is an excellent perfume carrier (however, never spray directly onto the hair). |
