About

Oud Silk Mood Extrait opens with a potent blast of rose, surprisingly fresh and almost green, hinting at a herbaceous quality. This quickly merges with a 'clean', non-animalic oud, creating a sophisticated floral-woody core. As it develops, a 'spicy green' edge emerges, lifted by a papyrus accord, preventing it from leaning too heavily on traditional jammy rose or barnyard oud. The drydown settles into a luxurious, warm, woody embrace with lingering floral nuances that evoke a refined elegance.
