The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Oud Extrait de Parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a fragrance that marries the smoky richness of oud with warm spicy and woody accords. Created by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, this composition opens with saffron and elemi resin, introducing an aromatic complexity that contrasts beautifully with its heart notes of vanilla and ambrette. The base notes of atlas cedar, Laotian oud, and Indonesian patchouli leaf ground the scent in a deep, earthy warmth that lingers long after application.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to allow the rich base notes to settle in. The top notes dissipate quickly, so focus on the lingering warmth of the base for lasting impact.
