Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Oud Silk Mood opens with Bergamot, Rose, and Chamomile, and settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood and Hedione. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud Silk Mood carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a clean, sophisticated rose-oud, others a medicinal, sharp mess. If you're after a less sweet, more herbal take on the classic rose-oud combo, Oud Silk Mood might just be your jam-free jam. Be warned: it's not for everyone, and the oud might play hide-and-seek.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

Oud Silk Mood opens with a bright, almost acidic bergamot that quickly gives way to a potent, natural rose. A herbal, woody undercurrent from chamomile and guaiac wood emerges, lending a clean, slightly medicinal edge. The oud is subtle, often described as transparent or green rather than barnyard, blending into an airy, elegant drydown that retains a silky smoothness on the skin. It's a complex dance of floral freshness and woody depth.
