Decanted Sample of Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Sweet floral smell with powdery rose dry down

Love this oud I wish I could afford a bottle

This is my first rose-oud fragrance so I wasn't exactly sure what I  was getting into. It's not a pungent oud, its very smooth and goes well with the rose but personally I find the rose to be quite dominant to the point where the fragrance leans feminine to me. It's not something that I can say I don't like it's just something I know I would never wear

Overall i like it but i dont love it. Very unique smell with great performance.

You will go nose blind if you spray this anywhere near your face. With that said, the fragrance has a quality rose and oud blended together beautifully. Smells like roses and rock candy.

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.
