Maison Francis Kurkdjian broadens its fabric-inspired scent lineup with the OUD velvet mood Extrait de parfum, translating the tactile properties of textiles into a fluid format. It retails for £225 GBP for a 35ml and £360 GBP for the 70ml.
Drawing structural inspiration from the thermal dynamics of the Liwa desert in the Persian Gulf, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian built a high-contrast composition. Grounding the suspension in an animalic base of raw oud wood, the formula integrates a specialized suede accord to generate a close-contact, bare-skin effect.
To counterbalance the heavy, blunt resins, the matrix relies on a luminous core, blending leathery osmanthus with a textured peach note to manipulate the liquid's overall density.
