Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Silk Mood is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Oud Silk Mood settles into a heart of Papyrus, Rose, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Oud. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud Silk Mood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This extrait is a powerhouse rose-oud that's both adored for its opulence and divisive for its intensity. Some find its metallic sharpness exhilarating, others overwhelming. A true statement scent that demands respect.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its room-filling sillage and 10+ hour longevity, this is unsuitable for casual or office wear, where it might overwhelm. It's a statement fragrance perfectly suited for formal events and dates, conveying luxury and confidence, particularly in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
