This fragrance beckons you to envelop yourself in its allure, allowing you to lose track of time and immerse yourself in the profound essence of the moment. INSPIRATION: A reinterpretation of the rare and precious oud wood, OUD Satin Mood reflects the creator's vision of infusing life with a luminous quality. Embrace the woody, ambery aroma that suspends time and transports you into the present. The delicate violet accord guides you through the finesse of the oud wood from Laos, gracefully merging with the essence of rose from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey, culminating in a luxurious vanilla amber accord. OUD Satin Mood is designed to be worn delicately on the skin, akin to the richness of fine fabric. "OUD Satin Mood is the olfactory translation of a world that is both generous and luminous." - Francis Kurkdjian OLFACTORY NOTES: Violet While the violet is a popular and recognizable fragrance, extracting its perfume naturally proves challenging, as only the leaves and stems can be utilized for extraction. The green, spicy cucumber scent emitted by these parts contrasts with the flower's fragrance. To recreate the fruity, gourmand, and slightly woody aroma of its petals, Francis Kurkdjian employs odorous molecules known as Ionones (ionos meaning purple in Greek), which were discovered and made available to perfumers in the late 19th century. In feminine perfumery, violet contributes a powdery facet or a gustatory sensation that harmonizes seamlessly with rosy notes, while its green facet finds extensive use in men's fragrances.
