Description
Description
Oud Satin Mood is a plush rose-and-oud reverie that wraps Turkish rose in vanilla, amber, and resin until it feels like liquid velvet.
Composed by founder-perfumer Francis Kurkdjian for Maison Francis Kurkdjian (the Paris house behind Baccarat Rouge 540) and launched in 2015, this eau de parfum pairs floral opulence with a deep, sweet-resinous base. Reviewers describe it as smelling “like luxury”, a millionaire’s rose-oud, though fans of dry, smoky oud should know the sweetness leads.
Scent Character
- Sweet: 50%
- Floral: 30%
- Woody: 20%
Translation: a vanilla-and-amber sweetness sits front and center, lifted by a jammy rose and grounded by warm woods and oud.

FAQ
Is Oud Satin Mood actually oud-forward?
Not really. Oud and woods anchor the base, but the experience is dominated by sweet vanilla, amber, and rose. If you want a dry, smoky oud, this leans plush and gourmand instead.
Is it unisex?
Yes. It’s marketed as unisex with a subtle masculine tilt; the rich rose-vanilla-oud accord works beautifully on anyone.
How long will it last?
Expect all-day longevity on skin (8–12+ hours) and very strong projection, so apply sparingly.
Why buy a sample first?
At full-bottle prices, a 1 mL, 5 mL, or 10 mL decant lets you test how this sweet rose-oud wears on your skin before committing.
