FAQs
What is oud and why is it special in perfumery?
Oud, or agarwood, is a rare and precious resinous wood produced by Aquilaria trees when infected by a specific mold. In perfumery, it's highly prized for its complex, deep, woody, and sometimes smoky or animalic aroma, often described as luxurious and exotic.
Is OUD Satin Mood a heavy or light fragrance?
OUD Satin Mood is generally considered a rich and luxurious fragrance, leaning towards the heavier side due to its oud, amber, and vanilla notes. However, the floral accords (rose, violet) provide a shimmering facet that prevents it from being overly dense, creating a balanced opulence.
Can this fragrance be worn year-round?
While its warmth and richness make it particularly well-suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter, it can be worn year-round. For warmer months, consider lighter application or reserve it for evening wear.
What is the difference between Eau de Parfum and other fragrance types?
Eau de Parfum (EDP) typically contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils (15-20%) compared to Eau de Toilette (EDT) or Eau de Cologne (EDC). This higher concentration generally means EDPs offer greater longevity and stronger sillage.
How long does the scent typically last?
As an Eau de Parfum, OUD Satin Mood is designed for excellent longevity, often lasting 6-8 hours or even longer on many skin types. Factors like skin hydration and environmental conditions can influence its exact duration.
Is this product vegan/cruelty-free?
Info needed: Please consult Maison Francis Kurkdjian's official website or customer service for their current policies on vegan and cruelty-free practices.
What are the prominent notes in OUD Satin Mood?
The most prominent notes include Damascena Rose (oil and absolute), a Violet accord, Oud from Laos, Benzoin, and a rich Vanilla amber accord. Styrax oil is also a key heart note.
Troubleshooting
The scent doesn't seem to last as long as expected.
Ensure you are applying the fragrance to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) on moisturized skin. Skin hydration can significantly impact longevity. Also, consider applying a small amount to clothing (test a discreet area first to avoid staining) for extended diffusion.
I notice small particles or a slight color variation in the perfume.
This is a normal characteristic of fragrances containing natural extracts, as stated by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The presence of suspended particles or color variations does not alter the quality or performance of the Eau de Parfum. Continue to store it correctly away from light and heat.
The fragrance smells different on me than on someone else or from the bottle.
Individual skin chemistry plays a significant role in how a fragrance develops and projects. Hormonal changes, diet, and even medication can affect scent interaction. Allow the fragrance to settle for at least 15-30 minutes to experience its full development on your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Application)
Using your OUD Satin Mood Eau de Parfum is straightforward. For the best scent experience and longevity:
- Ensure your skin is clean and, ideally, moisturized. Moisturizer can help the fragrance adhere better and last longer.
- Hold the bottle approximately 5-7 inches away from your skin.
- Spray once or twice on pulse points such as the wrists, neck, or behind the ears. Avoid rubbing the fragrance into your skin, as this can break down the scent molecules and alter the aroma.
Compatibility
- Age Group: This fragrance is designed for adults.
- Gender: It is a unisex fragrance, suitable for anyone who appreciates its rich ambery woody floral profile.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the quality and integrity of your OUD Satin Mood Eau de Parfum:
- Protect from Light: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the fragrance and alter its color and scent over time.
- Avoid Heat Sources: Store the perfume in a cool, dark place, away from radiators, windows, or any other heat sources. High temperatures can cause the fragrance to evaporate more quickly and change its composition.
- Storage: Store the bottle upright to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of the atomizer. Keeping it in its original box can offer additional protection from light and temperature fluctuations.
- Natural Variations: As this product contains natural extracts, the presence of suspended particles or color variations is normal and does not indicate a defect. Do not be alarmed by these natural characteristics; they do not alter the quality of the perfume.
