Feminine oud.

Okay, yes, I do like this oud. It is gentle, feminine, perhaps ultra-feminine, like the Thai ladyboy at Emporium who insisted that madame should try this. The rose is here, too, but hidden behind the chamomile. This is how it displays in the opening, but with the time, the oud becomes more prominent, although it never imposes its masculinity. The oud is there just as a shadow, a suggestion for the sweet, silky flowers. I like it, though not the price. However, considering how long (12+ hours!) those few drops lasted on my wrist, I shouldn't complain. I like it, but still a bit too sweet, like most of the Kurkdjian DNA.

Okay, da, acest oud imi place. Este gingas, feminin, poate ultra-feminin as spune, la fel ca si acel ladyboy Tailandez care a insistat ca Madame sa-l aplice. Trandafirul e si el acolo, dar pitit in spatele musetelului. Cam asa se desfasoara primele ore, dar in dry-down oud-ul devine mai prominent, desi niciodata nu-si impune masculinitatea. El e doar acolo ca o umbra, o sugestie pentru florile dulci, matasoase. Imi place, dar nu si pretul. Dar daca acei putini stropi pe brat tin 12 ore+, atunci poate ca nu ar trebui sa comentez pe tema asta. Un pic prea dulcic pentru mine, la fel cam ca tot ADN-ul Kurkdjian.

1, 2 OR 3..

...if you're really standing right, you'll see....

I felt much the same way when I looked at my shopping cart on MFK. OUD, OUD SATIN MOOD and SILK MOOD. Now what? Order with payment? I wish right now the light would come on!

Alright, back to square one and analyze the fragrance reviews on the web! The majority clearly prefer Satin Mood followed by Oud. Bringing up the rear is Silk Mood. All right, I'll go with the majority!

Puff! In the end, I decided on a Discovery Set (MFK - OUD Fragrance Wardrobe). The set is not exactly a bargain at around 200 bows, but no matter, at least I had found my inner peace.

And lo and behold, that last one I mentioned based on the reviews, Oud Silk Mood, has become my personal favorite.

Silk Mood is a rose oud fragrance, no question, but I just impressed by its very fresh-spicy and even slightly citrus character. This makes him m. E. something tangier and more suitable for everyday use. He does not lose his elegance thereby. In addition, I can imagine very well to wear Silk Mood all year round. Winner!

Oud: Is a dream of a fragrance! Warm-spicy and woody, with notes of tobacco and leather. Thus suitable for the colder season and my personal place 2.

Satin Mood: A fantastic warm and spicy scent but a bit too sweet for my taste due to the vanilla. Otherwise, some resemblance to oud. Bronze Medal.

Fact is, the Oud collection from the house of MFK is luxurious and unique. All 3 fragrances are implemented fantastically beautiful. The Oud DNA, of the 3 fragrances, is identical and initially slightly medicinal.

Conclusion: 1, 2 AND 3!

Soothing in the wrong sense.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that our everyday life and our habits and routines are currently subject to severe restrictions and, above all, changes. Short-time work, less social contacts, hobbies that fall flat for the time being, older family members with whom you talk on the phone every day to prevent them from being too lonely and so on and so on ...
As far as I'm a student, I can say that I'm currently very happy to still be living at home at the age of almost 25 - even if I regularly curse it a little - and not have to worry about rent payments or a possible collapsing existence. Nevertheless I am not deeply relaxed. I can see how some fellow students who no longer live at home can't sleep well at night (many have temporary jobs and were the first to be fired), writing homework is currently a cramp because of closed libraries (you somehow manage it anyway), and whether the summer semester, which is planned as a pure online semester (with 20,000-30,000 students), will really work is still in the stars. So it needs something to calm you down a bit every now and then. While this may be the alcohol for some of my fellow students (yes, clichés and such), I prefer to resort to olfactory miracle cures. "Oud Silk Mood" was the perfect choice when looking at the pyramid of scents, as it was the camomile, which is said to have a certain calming effect, that caused a lot of expectations.

In general, "Oud Silk Mood" appears softer than the heavy, very sweet and for most situations simply too pompous "Oud Satin Mood". A softer appearance is only related to the fragrance character, but not to the Sillage, because this is also brute over large parts of the fragrance, but socially more acceptable, because the vanilla and violet club is not swung here.
Freshly sprayed on, I am greeted by an absolutely unsweet, very grown up, but for me almost too old-fashioned rose. It is very clean - similar to "Lyric Man" - but for me it is much too watery and soapy. Rose water or rose soap are simply not my cup of tea, even if I like to smell the flower behind it. But since I'm sitting at home in front of my laptop anyway, desperately browsing through the online library of my university and not having to or being able to socialize with people, I have enough time to devote myself to the scent process in a more concentrated way than usual.
The initially very loud rose is quickly restrained a little by the chamomile and loses the rose water character that disturbs me. The oud is also present, but - and this is typical for Kurkdjian - it is very restrained and mass-compatible. There is nothing animalistic, medical or bitter here. It simply smells dry-woody, rather unspectacular - almost boring. The camomile should also appear a bit stronger, but unfortunately it doesn't. Unfortunately, I don't notice anything of papyrus. That's it with the scent, which can be described briefly with the adjective "boring".
"Oud Silk Mood" has an extremely promising scent pyramid, but - and this is particularly clear here - reality and scent pyramid are two different pairs of shoes. The camomile is there - yes, it is. But the dose here is a joke. Papyrus? Uh... where, please?

In the end, the composition is merely, without meaning it badly, one of those inflationary thrown on the market, meanwhile lost all its charm. Most of them smell pretty much the same, are confusable, not at all special and yet not seldom sinfully expensive. Reassuring, especially in the current situation in which we all find ourselves, the whole thing is somehow already, but only because it is to fall asleep. Mr Kurkdjian has more interesting things in his portfolio.

The foil among the oud fragrances

Even though I had a hard start with MFK (Baccara Rouge, GentleFluid Silver), this fragrance can totally convince me.
The combination of oud and rose has been perfected here in a quiet, everyday way . It is the foil among the oud perfumes. Alone the durability is not quite as good as with the usual suspects ( Oudmazing, Oud Wood), which then also represent rather the broadsword :)

Quite clear recommendation, if you are looking for an everyday fragrance also for the office, if you stand on oud and rose...

Secrets and subtle surrealism.

I received a bottle of this fascinating fragrance from a dear "Parfumo". Thank you, dear O. !!!
And I have now taken it to heart. And it is anything but a bore in rose and oud, as there are dozens. There are roses in it - and oud too. But so cleverly combined with other notes that it seems almost surreal. These "green fragrances", which have so much to offer in terms of maritime-Mediterranean freshness, as if they were a "perfume within a perfume". Whispering secrets to my nose and my mind. Subtle powders of woody silk, hidden beneath the twilight. The green beckons - macchia magic with blue tansy! And the moist, water-loving papyrus. Scrolls from "the ancient Greeks" on which fairy tales are told? Fine roses, not exuberant - tart-sweet, red and slightly fruity. Dark woods - aromatic oud - tart - rounded off with lighter, mild gujak wood. And this mysterious green always hovers over everything. With a hint of citrus that lingers until the end...
I haven't felt a "rose oud fragrance" this great for a long time!
