Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud EDP Unisex – 70 ml

Presented by Makeup Stash Pakistan

1. Introduction: A Fragrance Crafted for Timeless Elegance

Maison Francis Kurkdjian, the visionary perfumery house founded by the celebrated nose Francis Kurkdjian, brings you Oud Eau de Parfum (EDP) 70 ml—a transcendent unisex scent that harmonizes the exotic allure of oud with modern elegance. Available at Makeup Stash Pakistan, this perfume invites admirers to embark on an olfactory journey that is at once regal, mysterious, and deeply personal.

2. Inspiration & Concept: Where East Meets West

Oud EDP is inspired by the enchanting scene of a lavish marble palace under a celestial sky, where precious oud wood perfumes the air with its enigmatic presence. Guided by fragrant strands of cedar and patchouli, it weaves together a sensual conversation on the skin. With saffron and elemi imparting shimmering warmth, the composition melds Eastern opulence with Western refinement—delivering a fragrance that is simultaneously spellbinding, peaceful, and magnificent.

3. Olfactory Journey: Notes That Trace the Path of Oud EDP

Top Notes

• Saffron: The scent opens with a vibrant and spicy flourish of saffron—its golden threads bringing warmth, depth, and a subtle leather-like nuance.

• Elemi Resin: Complementing saffron, elemi delivers a frankincense-like brightness—a lemony pepper incense tone that lifts the initial impression with a balsamic glow.

Heart Note

• Oud (Agarwood): At its heart lies oud, sourced sustainably from Laos. It exudes a delicately animalic yet refined woodiness that is warming, leathery, and slightly honeyed—imbued with both mystique and comfort.

Base Notes

• Patchouli: Indonesian patchouli imparts an earthy, aromatic richness that balances the sweetness of saffron and the smoky depth of oud.

• Cedarwood (Atlas Cedar): A dry, woody backbone with soft spice and vertical resonance—think regal timber casting a noble silhouette.

• Vanilla (noted in some versions): Adds a gentle sweetness that rounds out the base, contributing a creamy and soothing sillage.

Note: The exact notes may vary between the Eau de Parfum and the Extrait versions, but the essence—saffron, elemi, oud, patchouli, cedar—remains core.

4. The Scent Experience: Evolution, Performance & Seasonality

Opening (First 15–30 minutes)

A burst of aromatic saffron and elemi greets the senses with lively energy—a spicy, almost incense-like greeting that transitions quickly into the richness of oud.

The Heart (First Hour)

Oud takes center stage—a smooth, polished interpretation that eschews overt animalic or medicinal edges for something more accessible and seductive.

Dry Down (2–3 hours onward)

Patchouli and cedar frame the lingering oud, softening it with woody refinement. In some experiences, a touch of vanilla emerges, imparting elegance and a lasting memory.

Longevity

• Reviewr notes remarkably strong longevity—with wear exceeding 10 hours.

• Others find more moderate endurance—up to 9 hours, with an initial arm’s-length sillage that gradually becomes skin-close.

Sillage

• Bold projection in some accounts, extending up to 8 feet in early hours.

• Contrastively, other impressions describe a refined, personal bubble of scent—noticeable but not overwhelming.

5. Character & Suitability

Overall Profile

• Olfactory Family: Ambery, woody, spicy—balanced across all three.

• Unisex Appeal: Elegant and versatile, this perfume crosses traditional gender lines with confidence and grace.

Best Time & Place

• Seasons: Ideally suited for cooler months—autumn through winter—where its warmth can bloom fully.

• Occasions: A refined choice for evening gatherings, intimate moments, and formal settings—an understated elegance that commands attention.

Perception Among Enthusiasts

• Some find it smooth and high-quality—a wearable oud with restraint.

• Others consider it understated—perhaps too clean or generic for lovers of more assertive oud statements.

6. Why Oud EDP Stands Out at Makeup Stash Pakistan

• Luxury Made Accessible: Through Makeup Stash Pakistan, experience this distinguished fragrance with authenticity, quality assurance, and local service.

• Unmatched Sophistication: A scent that melds heritage (rich oud, perfumer’s craftsmanship) with modern sensibility—perfect for the discerning individual.

• Tailored to You: Crafted for both him and her, Oud EDP mirrors the duality of its notes—bright yet deep, spicy yet smooth—making it a standout signature.
