{"product_id":"maison-francis-kurkdjian-oud","title":"Oud","description":"\u003cp\u003eMFK Oud opens with saffron and elemi, the saffron adding its characteristic metallic warmth while elemi brings a bright, citrus-resinous quality that is rare in oud compositions. Then the oud arrives and the composition resolves into its central argument: agarwood treated with Francis Kurkdjian's Western precision rather than Eastern opulence, the result simultaneously faithful to the material and distinctly French. Patchouli and cedar in the base give the drydown an earthy depth that supports the oud without duplicating it. Restrained and authoritative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancis Kurkdjian's treatment of oud is the Western niche interpretation done at the highest level of technical craft. The elemi opening is the move that distinguishes this from every other French oud: it gives the composition a brightness that Middle Eastern oud constructions rarely employ, and it holds through the drydown as a thread of light in something darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saffron, Bergamot, Cardamom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oud, Rose, Labdanum, Incense\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber, Sandalwood, Leather, Musk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oud, Amber, Smoky, Leather, Warm Spicy, Woody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Francis Kurkdjian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Francis Kurkdjian","offers":[{"title":"2.4 oz","offer_id":48123209056500,"sku":"3700559613337-M1","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2472\/7796\/files\/studio_893f3998-abfe-4064-aef3-7dfd6f16a800.jpg?v=1780283234","url":"https:\/\/www.casaalcheme.com\/products\/maison-francis-kurkdjian-oud","provider":"Casa Alchemē","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
