Decanted Sample of Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

As expensive as it is, I don't think it lives up to the price. It does smell good, but it smells very much like a hand soap.

I was scared of trying this due to every other oud fragrance that I have tried being a let down. I had given up at one point and wrote off oud but boy did this change my mind on how oud can be blended to satisfy different noses. This became part of my top five and I have a very large collection. Never would I have thought that an oud fragrance would end up so high on my list. Even though it is oud based, it only lingers in the background this is more heavy vanilla and rose in the forefront. Very intriguing scent.
