Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood is the embodiment of elegance, mystique, and fluidity—just like a piece of luxurious silk gliding across bare skin. Crafted by the legendary perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, this fragrance is part of his highly coveted Oud Mood collection, a series that reimagines the traditional power of oud with modern sophistication. At Scents Angel, we’re proud to offer this masterpiece to lovers of fine perfumery seeking a scent that fuses East and West in seamless harmony.

Oud Silk Mood is not your average oud fragrance. It’s smooth, airy, and poetic. Where many oud scents are dense and animalic, this one is ethereal, almost translucent. It draws inspiration from the contrast between the heaviness of oud and the lightness of silk—two seemingly opposite materials that come together to form something truly captivating.

✨ Fragrance Profile

• Top Notes: Bulgarian Rose, Bergamot
  

• Heart Notes: Blue Chamomile, Hedione
  

• Base Notes: Laotian Oud, Papyrus, Guaiac Wood

🌬️ The Silk-Like Opening

The first impression of Oud Silk Mood is stunning—delicate yet commanding. It opens with the lush, romantic presence of Bulgarian rose, a note that instantly speaks of elegance and refinement. This is not a sugary rose; instead, it’s green, slightly citrusy, and full-bodied. It blends beautifully with a soft touch of bergamot, adding a gentle freshness that feels like a breeze across your skin.

As the scent begins to unfold, blue chamomile enters the scene, lending a calming herbal nuance that smooths out the edges. This heart note gives the fragrance its silky texture—light, tranquil, and deeply soothing. Hedione, a molecule known for its radiance and jasmine-like quality, adds to the lift and luminosity, making the blend float with effortless grace.

🌌 Deep Woods & Sensual Mystery

At its base, Laotian oud takes root—not loud or overbearing, but mysterious and refined. This is one of the most polished expressions of oud in modern perfumery. It doesn’t dominate—it enhances. Supported by papyrus, which adds an earthy, ancient paper-like dryness, and guaiac wood, known for its smoky smoothness, the base wraps everything in a luxurious, woodsy cocoon.

Unlike many oud fragrances that can be overly resinous or medicinal, Oud Silk Mood is balanced and nuanced. Every element supports the next, resulting in a perfectly blended, smooth-as-silk olfactory experience.

🧍 Who Can Wear It?

This is a unisex fragrance in the truest sense. It’s:

• Elegant enough for women who love rose and soft florals
  

• Bold enough for men who enjoy sophisticated woods and oud
  

• Ideal for those who appreciate balance over intensity
  

• A signature scent for lovers of rare, high-end perfumery
  

Whether worn with a crisp white shirt or a flowing gown, Oud Silk Mood adapts beautifully to both mood and occasion.

⏳ Longevity & Sillage

Expect excellent longevity from Oud Silk Mood—lasting between 8 to 12 hours with just a few sprays. The sillage is moderate but distinctive, leaving behind a refined and sensual trail without overwhelming those around you.

It wears closest to the skin over time, drawing others in for an intimate experience, which makes it a perfect fragrance for evenings, special occasions, and moments where you want to leave a lasting impression.

💼 When to Wear It

• Romantic dinners or elegant evenings out
  

• Art gallery openings, upscale events, or luxury travel
  

• Fall and winter seasons, although light enough for cooler spring days
  

• Moments when you want to feel effortlessly luxurious and confident
  

It’s a fragrance that speaks not with volume but with poise and grace. It’s understated power, bottled.

🎁 Bottle Design
