Review: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris – Oud Satin Mood

This is a scent that has been on my radar for quite some time but I normally don’t live next to a Neiman Marcus so I wasn’t able to sample it. I think I saw a video review of this somewhere that got me very interested in it but now having had smelled it firsthand I can’t say that I’m a big fan.

The rose is a much bigger component than I thought it would be and I thought the oud and rose would blend better but the oud really doesn’t come through as much as I would want. I am not a huge rose fan but if you really like rose I really think this might work for you.

Satin is a pretty good descriptor for this it is smooth. This is only good for going out at night to clubs or perhaps on a date. This is definitely going to be preferred by an older demographic, I don’t think a lot of young people are into the rose smell. The projection is also very good which makes it good for parties, bars and other social settings. Definitely not a sporty smell I wouldn’t wear this to the gym or during the day for that matter.
