Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

MFK's Oud is a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterpiece of clean, wearable oud, while others decry its lack of traditional oud character. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not your grandma's barnyard oud.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

This is a polished, airy take on oud, opening with a metallic shimmer of saffron and the subtly spiced, balsamic lift of elemi. It settles into a refined heart of clean cedar and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a smooth, almost sweet interpretation of oud. There's a subtle medicinal, almost antiseptic quality throughout, finishing with a lingering, modern woody warmth.
