OUD Satin Mood - MFK | Review

Afree interpretation of oud wood, a rare and precious material, this OUD satin mood Maison Francis Kurkdjian eau de parfum reflects the creator’s desire to bring a shimmering facet to life. Wrap yourself in the woody ambery scent to suspend time and lose yourself in the depth of the here and now. Transported by the finesse of the violet accord, the oud wood bows down to the essence and absolute of Damascena rose to then blend into the rich vanilla amber accord. Oud satin mood is made to be delicately worn on your skin like a rich fabric.

About a month ago I was on light rail and someone on board was wearing this. The train was filled with the scent but not too overwhelming. I’ve got MFK OudX, and samples of this. It’s very nice in the coldest of winter.

100%, on clothing there tends to be more consistency, but on the skin, it can really tarnish a scent profile. I'm naturally a very warm bodied person, I blast the aircon on the coldest days (which my coworkers are not a fan of) so I'm lucky to always have better than average projection on some fragrances but that can also manipulate some fragrances negatively for me , more so natural florals which go sour/musky on me. OudX is definitely a lot easier on my nose than the EDP :)

Interesting how you react differently to the smell based on the scent. Can you think of any more fragrances that inspire a similar reaction?

My reactions to some of the bestselling designer fragrances isn't the best hahah. But usually sweeter fragrances can be a love-hate for me, I appreciate the technical feat of creating a fragrance composed of synthetics, but it can easily go so wrong so fast or become cloying /sickly hence why I usually stick to fresher fragrances. Every now and then i find some gems which really change the game such as Faces of Francis which ill be purchasing soon! but all of that is just my personal opinion :)
