Incredibly strong & a perfect 10/10 rating across the boards. This doesn’t happen often. I really try not to toss around 10’s unless I am absolutely certain.
Warm, unisex, very alluring, with exotic woods and spices melded in such a velvety smooth and soft yet massive scent cloud. There is an underlying sweetness which isn’t cloying, coming from a very dry accord of vanilla. Fans of the original Oud Eau de Parfum will find this to be an even more addictive scent. Longevity.....?.....until you shower!

daily luxury

This is a luxurious soft saffron vanilla oud that is clean, and very wearable year round. It's not overpowering but long lasting, over 12 hours... It's very unisex,perfectly suited for day or night.
I highly recommended it to be sampled even if you're not a fan of Oud this one will definitely surprise you ... it is unusual type of smell for average users

Underrated but for good reason

Maison Francis Kurkdjian OUD Extrait de Parfum

Saffron, Vanilla, Virginian Cedar, Elemi, Laotian Oud, Patchouli.

Powdery/Lipsticky, Masculine version of OUD satin mood EDP, silky smooth, creamy, rounded not sharp or skanky at all

Vanilla dominant, Vanilla+Elemi+Saffron = Heaven, by the way the Oud is doing its job by supporting the whole formula.

The best thing you can wear in fall & winter, it’s more masculine than Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum and Oud Silk Mood Eau de Parfum

is very nice, Well blended, strong but very weareable, bit delicate and very pleasant. It seems to have very good quality ingredients inside. One of the bests ive tried. My absolute favorite from this line was Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum but fortunately i had this amazing friend on my local buying/selling stuff that we shared the love of perfume world and had many conversations about perfumes and she showed me how to differentiate between legit and fake MFK perfumes (moro Minna miten menee ;) ) so she wanted to sell her Oud Extrait de Parfum and offered it to me and blindly i accepted the offer and bought it right away and God oh my God what a successful purchase. Man i love this perfume and it suits me so much that i bought another 70ml backup bottle few weeks ago, the scent profile m, the longevity & the sillage is just PERFECT. By the way both bottles i have are from first batches 2017-2018 so ( IF ) the newer batches doesn't preform you will know that it’s maybe reformulated. Now i don’t use my 2 bottles of Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum that much because i do have the king of kings Oud Extrait de Parfum. A true masterpiece that I would wear the whole harsh, frosty & lengthy winter of Finland and I'm happy that it’s underrated because few people use it and know it which means i can enjoy the rarity more.

One of my 5 signature scents

Great Oud fragrance to start with

If you wanna start your journey with oud notes in fragrances, this should be the one you should start from my point of view.

I'm saying this because for my nose (and seems like other people said the same thing) this not typically an „ 100% oud fragrance", is more like a fragrance built on a „inoffensive" oud base.

The oud in MFK Oud Extrait is not (very) agresive, it doesn't come very medicinal or fecal/extremely animalic and to make it more appealing and less offensive a high dose of powderyness and elemi is added.

For me this fragrance stars powdery and a little bit medicinal with a citrusy-spicy accord coming from Elemi. If I put my nose very close in the first minutes after I applied, I get a petrol/gasoline note.
I think there are some notes that are not listed, like: rose, iris, violet leaves. I always thought this is OSM Extrait, with less florals and more ambrette and oud + elemi.

As it goes to drydown It gets more powdery and sweeter and dry from saffron with a metallic-musky base made of oud and ambrette. I do get a little bit of Iso E Super in this.
There is also a leathery acord, subtle.

(It's not overly sweet, I could easily wear this in summer days at night)

The performance is extremely good, on me stays around 12 hours and after shower there is still a little bit of scent there.
Projection really strong in first hours and sillage too, after ~3 hours is becoming more "calm" and projects just enough until the end of the day...

Great saffron/vanilla perfume

I am a bit confused with this perfume. In one hand It is very nice, Well blended, strong but very weareable, bit delicate and very pleasant. It seems to have very good quality ingredients inside... But this is great for being an saffron/vanilla/musk perfume!! One of the bests ive tried...
However It doenst seem really an oud perfume. It is true that It has some oud feeling on It but not more than in oud satin mood or oud silk mood...and as It is called just oud It is possible that someone can expect a more intense oud feeling. The oud here is also not medicinal or fecal, what for me is good but for oud lovers could be something bad. I find It very similar to oud wood by Tom Ford... An oud for people Who dont like oud or have not many experience with it.
The smell is dry, a bit acid/citrusy, sweet and powdery. I feel very good wearing It. The longevity is great but the projection is just moderate. I find It unisex and weareable at any time.
