Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud by Maison Francis Kurkdjian Perfume. A spritz of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud and you are transported to a dark, velvety lounge. This sultry, unisex fragrance will appeal to the vivacious woman as well as the discerning gentleman. Accords of spices, patchouli and woods marry to complement the central note of this fragrance, agarwood from Laos. The main note of this perfume, oud, is the first to greet you. A heart accord of elemi and saffron exudes a warm spice before transitioning to a woody base of patchouli and cedar wood. Originally released in 2012, this 2.4-ounce eau de parfum spray comes packaged in a striking black flacon with gold accents.
