Francis Kurkdjian

"Oud Velvet Mood is a dark, dry interpretation of oud built around saffron, Ceylon cinnamon, copaiba balsam, and Laotian oud. Its character is notably resinous and woody rather than sweet or floral. The composition opens with a sharp, medicinal impression before developing warmer balsamic and spicy facets. As it settles, copaiba brings a smooth resinous quality while oud contributes smoky, leathery, and animalic depth. The fragrance is regarded as one of the more challenging and uncompromising creations in the house's oud portfolio. Its original formulation is distinct from the later product released under the same name as an extrait interpretation."

Reviews Summary

“A polarizing and highly persistent oud fragrance. The opening is frequently experienced as sharp, medicinal, rubbery, and animalic, while the drydown becomes warmer and more polished through balsamic copaiba, cinnamon, and smoky oud. Its projection is widely considered very strong and room-filling.”
