Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. Oud opens with Saffron and Elemi, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Oud and Patchouli. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

This MFK Oud Extrait is a divisive beast. It's either a classy, smooth, and utterly luxurious take on oud, or a bizarre metallic, medicinal mess. Performance is undeniably strong, but you'll either love how it develops or be scrubbing it off.

About

A complex and powerful extrait, Oud by MFK opens with a sharp, almost metallic saffron and elemi, a distinct and polarising kick. This soon mellows into a creamy vanilla heart, softening the initial edge. The drydown unveils a rich, boozy Laotian oud, blended seamlessly with earthy patchouli, creating a dark, smooth, and impressively long-lasting trail. Expect quality ingredients masterfully composed.
