Much much stronger version of MFK Oud. It is animalic, more pungent and much more daring than the original. This is very masculin, where the original is unisex, with a hint of masculinity. I can smell this is a very high quality fragrance, but much too strong and daring for my taste.
Try before you buy and do NOT overspray! You will destroy people’s noses.

Incredibly strong & a perfect 10/10 rating across the boards. This doesn’t happen often. I really try not to toss around 10’s unless I am absolutely certain.
Warm, very alluring, with exotic woods and spices melded in such a velvety smooth and soft yet massive scent cloud. There is an underlying sweetness which isn’t cloying, coming from a very dry accord of vanilla. Fans of the original Oud Eau de Parfum will find this to be an even more addictive scent. Longevity…..?…..until you shower!

Oud and saffron. Not too masculine, not too feminine. Eastern but western at the same time. Not exclusive to the day or the night, nor the summer or the winter. Bold, but not overpowering, blended to perfection. A big improvement on the EDP, it starts off with a spicy saffron opening which last all throughout , the ambrette, vanilla, and oud give it vibes of Dior Homme Parfum, yet this is something else. It does not have the skankiness of some natural ouds and has been toned down for western noses. Longevity is excellent, not a complete beast like some other MFK extraits, but more than adequate. It projects well with a soothing and warm dry-down.

Oud takes a back seat to saffron and other notes, so if u want a more hidden oud this may be for you. I didn’t get very good longevity and projection poor after first hour. Received as a sample and won’t be buying a full bottle.

Embellishing upon the structural backbone of his original oud fragrance, Kurkdjian adds a new accord of vegetal musk (Ambrettolide) and vanilla. Both accompany the signature ingredient of extremely rare and exceptionally pure oud from Laos. Other notes from the original include spicy saffron, resinous elemi gum from the Phillipines, warm cedar wood from Morocco, and earthy patchouli from Indonesia. With the addition of Ambrettolide and vanilla accord, the composition is offered a gentle sweetness, a subtle fruitiness while still conveying the unadulterated beauty of the original version. The effect is cozy, comforting and similar to receiving a warm embrace. ‘OUD Extrait de parfum’ still carries with it a dry quality (no citrus, no florals) which is the signature of the original “eau de parfum”, seemingly a reflection of the arid desert sands from which it was inspired. The scent of oud still remains at center stage within the composition (if not more pronounced in this version), exalted by the constellation fragrant notes surrounding it yet never overshadowed.
Capturing the mystery of the Orient, with ‘OUD Extrait de parfum’ Mr. Kurkdjian has yet again created an oud-centric fragrance for the ages. For those who fell in love with his original ‘OUD’, you will not be disappointed in this new interpretation. The two newly added notes (vegetal musk and vanilla accord) do not distract from the central focus of oud’s mysticism and enchantment, but rather embellish it. As an “extrait de parfum” concentration, longevity is at its highest. Both sillage and projection are adequate, but for the most part the fragrance yields closely to the skin. Those who come within arms length of the wearer will be blessed to behold this narcotic scent. For me the drydown is the most superb iteration of the scent, as one can truly appreciate the delicate nuances of the oud as it reflects off of facets of creamy vanilla and fragrant musk. Both men and women alike can certainly adorn themselves with this versatile scent, as it does not lean heavily masculine or feminine. Traditionally I’ve always reserved oud fragrances for the cooler months of autumn and winter, given the heavy and at times dark nature of oud’s scent. ‘OUD Extrait de parfum’, however, feels wearable year round thanks to the gentle playfulness imparted by the vanilla accord. Its delicate sweetness gives an airy lightness to the composition which seems suitable to nighttime wearings in the heat and humidity of the summer months. If you’ve never experienced oud firsthand before, ‘OUD Extrait de parfum’ seems like a great place to start.

Finally got my nose and this and I have to say Mr Kurkdjian this is a sublime creation, absolutely what I was anticipating, the amped up Oud Extrait I’d hoped for. Essentially there’s nothing new in here except for more being even more luxurious than the EDP. The opening plays around even less but still gives you an almost bright, stinging sharp resinous quality of Elemy, a ton of long lasting and dominant saffron on that loasian oud which keeps coming and coming. Hate to lower the tone here but ( I’m going to anyway), I would equate MFK Oud to an acid trip, just when you’re beginning to get your head around the turbulent first hour or so…the effects just keep coming on stronger and stronger in waves, until the drydown which is mellow and relaxed with any perceived hard edges smoothed away into a blissful landing. I love this fragrance and I’m going to purchase it, although I’ve been saying that about the original since about 2013 but hey.

Not surprisingly, it’s very similar to the original.
Opening is stronger, but like most higher concentrated fragrances, it settles down with less projection upon drydown.
The Extrait is smoother and rounder and the ambrette and vanilla notes quite noticeable.
Longevity is similar.
The musk + vanilla + ambrette is similar to the type of musk in Dior Homme Intense – iris – cocoa

Still not an Oud but an “Oh!”. This is one of those infrequent, sublime, wow-fragrances. So well blended and artfully crafted it is difficult to pull specific notes (I love Ouds from the East but I’m challenged to call it out by name here) but this has warm/dark and light/airy accords going on simultaneously. A little spice, and a little sweetness. A little herbal, a little aquatic, a little resinous.
It snuck up on me as a 10/10 scent. Smiling, sniffing the inside of my elbow — I must look like a lunatic.
This lasts the live-long day with a close but continuous sillage bubble — superior performance. Three sprays only — one behind right knee, one on small of back, one inside left elbow.
I think this leans masculine, on a gentleman, but perfectly reasonable for a mature, confident, lady in the cooler months.

Oh Lord! I can’t wait to try this. The original EDP is one of the most interesting oud fragrances ever made. The silk/satin etc… moods were kinda the first extension of this but more rosey or amber like or whatever. With a bit of luck this will stick to the original and be like the harshest (in a good way) saffron opening to divine and precious Laotian oud. To be honest the original is potent enough but in the form of a extrait, I’m thinking it could potentially be mind blowing.
For one reason or another I never bought MFK Oud despite my love and praise but this version might tip me over the edge despite it being more expensive more than likely.

Got a sample of Oud Extrait as part of their online orders. I remember I tried Oud EDP in a perfumery this summer so not so recently but I remember the EDP more « oudy » then what I sense from the extrait. The extrait seems very soft, on the medicinal side in the beginning but more in an acquatic metalic sort of way, it is not the dark medicinal staple of the pure oud oil. It is a very airy, feathery oud, maybe the lightest I tried so far. I am not sure I like this opening phase a lot to the point of wanting to wear it, I think I prefer the stronger warmer ouds that come closer to pure oud oil but I appreciate the lightness and the airiness of it. What I like though is what comes after this aquatic metalic type of accord starts to go away which is a creamy note that becomes sweet and cozy. It becomes a »creamy oud » if that can exist. Downside, it all flies away from my skin completely in an hour or little over an hour and has a projection at only few cm away from skin. But I think that depends on everyone’s skin, so that may be just my problem. Overall though it comes up much lighter than Oud Satin Mood which I have in both EDP and Extrait and which have much higher projection and longevity. Beatiful airy delicate creation though.

Woody, resinous, sophisticated, smoothly-blended masterpiece. This is unique, rich, and mysterious. Scented gold in a bottle
S0rmat – :
act 1: more medicinal,cough syrup, maybe from a more pushed up note of saffron
act 2 : oud edp
act 3 :vanillic and musky, a more gourmand side than the dusty edp
Long lasting with a heavy sillage.
Love it even more than the edp
pacmen – :
YES!!! This was so unexpected but it makes me so happy. The original Oud was my favorite oud frag from MFK, so i have very high expectations for this!
