Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud by Maison Francis Kurkdjian for Unisex

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Perfume by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is a fragrance for women launched in 2012. It is a rich oriental woody scent that pays homage to the ancient Arabian accord. For this scent, it is sourced from Laos, which produces the purest and most expensive oud, or agarwood. It is blended with deep notes of cedar and patchouli, seasoned with elemi, and spiced with delicate saffron notes. Lush and luxurious, this scent actually works well for men, too.

The French design house of Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a newcomer to the world of perfumery, releasing its first scent in 2009. Although agarwood has featured in perfumes for thousands of years, it fell out of popular favor in the late 20th century. However, it has seen a resurgence in the past decade, resulting in releases such as this opulent interpretation that is both resplendent and subtly sophisticated. Women and men as well can once again revel in this precious accord.
