Do not go over two sprays, if you hold your nose dearly. Such a simple but complex scent. The roses are traveling up and down my every move as the wood sets an aura of calmness around me. Very very slightly, you can feel the chamomile keeping the oud herbal, fresh while the papyrus adds a bit of uniqueness (to me, as I haven’t smelled many with papyrus). I accidentally did three sprays-because I didn’t read the reviews stating it needs to wait to fully bloom-and it’s still going super strong on my chest 11h into application. This is the only scent for which I thought 3 sprays was just way too much. (EDT, paler EDP, you can almost get away with wearing 3 spritzes under clothes.)
Maybe some will find this blasphemous but layering with L’Instant de Guerlain for women by MRoucel can actually be very interesting if you find the rose not sweet enough.

People say it’s for females , but they are wrong it’s one the best blended Oud rose fragrance (rose in heavy dose) I have ever sniffed ..both men and women can easily wear it ..
It’s a FRESH Rose – Oud combo perfume with super good quality ingredients .
I went to the store in Switzerland to check out 540, which i felt was a very ordinary smelling and this was a CLASS IN A BOTTLE so i immediately bought it .. And I thanked myself that I didn’t blind buy the hyped 540 and got this instead .
EDIT : My bottle is here finallyyyyy .. Drydown is the BEST Part about this fragrance i can’t stop smelling myself ..
Wonderful packing & presentation .

This is my second review of MFK Oud Silk Mood. I wrote the first review more than a year ago, when I was still familiarising myself with this perfume; but now that I have had it for many months, I feel that it deserves a second account.
At the moment I own 40 fragrances; obviously, that’s not much, considering that some Fragrantica members have hundreds, even thousands of scents – but, on the other hand, it’s way more than I ever thought I would need! When purchasing new fragrances I try not to duplicate what I already have; diversity is the keyword and each fragrance that I own is a standout, for one reason or another. Among these 40 ‘chosen ones’, MFK Oud Silk Mood is definitely THE best, because it is such a unique minimalist artwork. On paper, it should be a simple little thing, consisting of only four major ingredients – rose, chamomile, papyrus and oud; but these four are so masterfully blended and balanced that the resulting scent is seriously addictive. In order to appreciate Oud Silk Mood, one must be a rose lover, because an enchanting, powerful rose is the main protagonist here. This heady rose is freshened up with chamomile, papyrus and a very subtle oud, without a trace of its skankier facets. The fragrance is quite linear and stays true to itself throughout its development; all notes are present from the beginning to the end. Although it is marketed as unisex, I’d say that it leans feminine: this is made for a mature, confident, successful, classy woman. I’m not sure that I match this description, but I do hope so! To sum up, this is one of the best investments that I ever made and worth every penny. Do not bother with dupes and save up to buy the real thing. It is meant to be used sparingly, so a 70ml bottle can last for many years. This is a perfume to bring to a deserted island.

A more correct name would have been Rose Silk Mood. Oud is very subtle, rose is very prominent.

It’s so funny that each of us thinks that our perception of a perfume is the definitive one when it is so clear from the reviews that each of us is so amazingly different !
I am not a big rose lover, for instance (except IRL) and the rose in this scent is just huge to my nose ( on my skin, not on paper , go figure) …. that said it is a big jammy juicy purple rose, a bit like a Caron Extrait Rose, which has a bit of a geranium aspect —could that be the influence of whatever a “ Papyrus” note could be?— and it is beautiful.
So I just layered MFK Oud over this one to tamp down the rose and all of the green facets came out like they did for some people but not for me, and I love it. So happy to have my set of all five!
rogonet – :
This is the most special piece of my current collection, bought it late fall in Moscow’s TSUM. Once I sprayed it on my wrist, I couldn’t get rid of thoughts of buying it. This oud is quite subtle, but sensible, after some time the bulgarian rose becomes dominant with a hint of oud. Love the overall effect and long lasting impact of it.
KarlsonKiSH – :
Absolutely only for women. This is in the same category as Montale Red Aoud. The rose and oud scream off of the skin in the opening, and if i smelled this on a man, i would think he is trying to smell like a woman. The drydown is similar to the opening of L’Envol de Cartier, and that’s as masculine as this puppy gets.
Рэтчет123 – :
Absolute beast! I love this one A LOT! What can i say… that hasn’t been said… YOU’VE GOT TO TRY THIS ONE! Very unisex & OUT OF THIS WORLD! Now is it worth the price? HELL YEAH! I think it’s worth more! The dry down doesn’t sway far from the initial application & for me that’s rare. The projection is moderate but longevity is a good 8+ hours on my skin. I get a ton of compliments wearing this one & I CAN’T STOP SMELLING IT! It’s so addictive.
DFYZ – :
I talked down on this fragrance for a long time but after revisiting it a few times’ I’ve changed my mind. I still don’t love it, per say… by it’s nice ! Very mature.
-Sapfir- – :
The rose here is exquisite: airy, tart, modern, with hints of powder and rosewater. It’s underscored with an unobtrusive metallic oud note that just gives the scent backbone without being too prominent. The overall effect isn’t quite natural smelling; quite synthetic smelling in some ways, yet it’s quite sleek and quite compelling all the same. Rose pastel underscored with a graphite pencil.
This is my favorite of the oud-fabric-mood quartet, but with the caveat that you shouldn’t expect a ton of oud: this is a rose fragrance with some interesting accents.

Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of Rose dominated scents. This one is definitely not up my alley. One thing I will say though is that the longevity is infinite. Not at all my style, but if you love powdery rose and oud, this might be for you.
alex741028 – :
Wow this is certainly very rosy. Since I’m not a lover of rose scents (because I find them suffocating), I won’t waste too much of your time here, but it’s clear that for anyone who does love rose notes, this scent would be a winner.
It’s a well constructed, refined scent that would be pleasing to many people. Go try it, you rose lovers!
slepmaydigos – :
WOW, just wow. This is true love for me. The most modern rose, the most subtle oud, and just gorgeous and exciting. YES! THIS is what I want to smell like! It’s fresh, it’s floral, it’s oud-ish, it’s modern, but at the same time very familiar. I can’t afford it, but I’ve hunted down decants and will continue to do so because this is the first fragrance that I cannot get enough of. I’m famous for falling out of love with a fragrance before I finish 10ml, but I’m still in love with this at almost 20 ml and $90 later.
qit828InsuffBooni – :
This is a very luxurious – and very expensive! – extrait de parfum; it’s an Oriental with a capital ‘O’. When I first tested it, a few months ago, I found it to be a warm, heavy, mature, saturated, almost suffocating concoction of oud and rose. However, for the past six weeks we’ve had a very harsh winter here, with the temperatures regularly plunging below -15 C, and guess what – Oud Silk Mood works absolutely brilliantly when it’s very cold outside! It just wraps you in its warm hug and transports you to an oriental bazaar. Obviously I wouldn’t dare wear this when it’s +35 C outside – my nose would melt!
Desik – :
(Update)
The most gorgeous fragrance that I own. To my nose, the papyrus is the key note…it’s the thing that takes this to another level and prevents it from smelling like your ordinary, rose/oud frag. It gives it a tanginess and tartness that never throttles back…its there to the bitter end. This is a grade-A, oud fragrance. EXTREMELY, Middle Eastern, in it’s presence and vibe.
*****************
literal OUD BOMB..
just tested it, 20 min ago @ Neimans’, before buying it. And knew immediately all but 2 of the oud frags I have, will be taking several seats behind this stuff. EXTRAIT, is the only concentration available…and there will be no need to ever purchase another oud scent, after getting this.
I love a very dark, heavy, spicy and/or woody, middle-Eastern, smelling scent. And this one takes the crown for me, right behind Library Opus V and Mancera’s Sand Aoud &The Aoud.
true to the nature of an extrait strength, Im sensing a need for a chisel, to remove this scent.
edy – :
very warm, woody, smooth and longlasting. very unisex friendly but too “Everyday” for me i prefer sth more daring. mfk is very nice im just not much of its fan i guess?
Valy – :
im my opinion, the best Rose&Oud i’ve ever tried. Here rose speaks louder than oud, diferently of the other Mood’s fragrances, which makes me appreciate even more because i’m a rose fan. It’s smooth, engaging, elegant, romantic fragrance. Love it. This one, PoaL and Lyric woman makes my perfect rose triad.

I Got a Sample of This From Lucky Scent. This Smells Like Windex To Me!!!!! I let it set for 1-2 hrs and it still smelled like Windex! Definitely NOT For Me!!!!
DOZ – :
Not surprisingly, the extrait concentration Oud Silk Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a powerhouse of a fragrance.
Scent-wise, it is more of a traditional rose/oud pairing in the sense that it’s not so sweet like Oud Satin Mood, but rather the rose and oud without the sweetness. The oud also factors more strongly than in Oud Satin Mood, as the rose is somewhat subdued, not very heavy or dominant at all. I’ve heard some argue that it’s a fresh rose, and that might be fair, as it feels brighter and more fleeting, while still being dominated by the oud component.
There’s otherwise not a ton going on, apart from the woodsy undertones and use of chamomile, the latter of which does not factor in too much for me. It’s mainly, simply, a rose/oud fragrance, and in that mix it can always lean slightly feminine, but as with Oud Satin Mood, I find it pretty unisex. It certainly works for women, but men who prefer rose (as I do) will be open to it.
I can see why this might turn some off–the oud is harsh, as it usually is, and while the blend is good, not much rose is present to shield non-fans of oud from the oud itself.
I prefer the sweetness of Oud Satin Mood but very much like Oud Silk Mood as well. I simply already own a very powerful rose/oud blend that I enjoy more: Armani Prive Rose d’Arabie. Still, Oud Silk Mood should be tried by fans of rose.
$375 for 70ml is steep, even for an extrait, so only those who really love it will buy it, but it’s certainly a bomb that merits some consideration if you do love it.
7 out of 10
Ришка – :
Far too strong for me; I was attracted to this because of the word silk and after the initial smell it left me exasperated and somewhat sick. It’s full throttle Oud and not for the light-hearted. I went for the Satin version instead which was lush!
Геймер – :
I’m trying a sample of this now and its fantastic.kind of remind me of eternal oud by kilian which I absolutely love.this is full bottle worthy
JojhuyaJN – :
Oud Silk Mood (tested from a sprayer sample)
A Gorgeous Rose-Oud fragrance!
It opens with stark and black oud. It softens a bit to become a little tolerable, a tad sweeter. I get the rose with soft rubber nuances. The rose is strong and sweet, I like how the green herbal notes from the chamomile surrounds the rose.
I sense the papyrus, how lovely and unusual it is, in this fragrance. On my skin, the papyrus smells dry, toasty, woody with nutty nuances. It is nice melding with the rose. After a time on my skin, the oud is beautiful with a soft medicinal quality, it is mysterious, very elegant, easy to wear.
The rose is radiant as it intertwines with the oud.
Anyone who likes the rose-oud fragrances must sample this once. It’s not for me.
Longevity on my skin is about 10 hours and sillage is arm length.

I’m really not oud lover and only can wear miracle classic Oud from this house. I didn’t find very much oud in this fragrance but rose!
.. Ah roses are amazing and slightly sweet of Oud Silk Mood. I also got amazing compliments and don’t think it is smells cheap. It is smell expensive and very very long lasting. I’m rose lover and this is one of the best modern rose/oud combination have ever seen.
Enrinketren – :

fngel – :
I really don’t know how come everyone here are talking about the overpowering rose in this fragrance… I mean, i wish there was a rose here! I can not detect anything besides the OUD. It feels a bit plastic-synthetic and flat… not natural and deep enough for me. I don’t like this one though i had high hopes for it. Only oud… boring…
LoyaxyTraurgy – :
I eagerly opened my latest perfume sample shipment and tentatively applied Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Oud Silk Mood after reading mixed (many negative) reviews. Anticipating the perfume’s arrival, I deliberately did not apply any other perfume that day because I wanted to experience this expensive perfume in its full glory. Surprisingly, I really LOVE this fragrance; however given the hefty price tag, I may be forced to move on to similar rouse oud perfumes and rose oud blends, such as those produced by Jo Malone, M. Micallef, Montale and Tiziana Terenzi (to name a few).
I am NOT a perfume expert and I especially am not an oud expert. I’ve never smelled the true scent of a natural agarwood tree. With that said, I experienced and owned a few ouds but only adored perhaps one.
MFK’s Oud Silk Mood is a gorgeous fragrance but IMHO, you MUST wait for the dry-down! For me, the basenotes and dry-down are what make this fragrance stand out and shine. Even someone like me with limited perfume knowledge can tell this perfume is created with some fine ingredients…oud, rose, papyrus and chamomile…that’s about it. Lovely.
I warn the opening notes are intense, loud and almost vulgar…rubber, SMOKE & metallic notes jump out of the bottle, onto the skin & through the nose, showing no mercy! After initial application, I thought “Uh oh…oh no…this is gonna make me ill…this is gonna be a SCRUBBER!” All I could smell after initial application was something akin to burnt rubber…oud!
Within 10-15 minutes, this EDP exposed its true glory with the longest lasting & loveliest wood (oud), musk-y, dark rose notes I have ever experienced. After 30-60 minutes, I could not stop enjoying the glow of the most gorgeous Bulgarian rose & wood-y oud fragrance I have ever experienced! MY husband kept commenting, “You smell GREAT when you walk by…is that the SAME PERFUME you HAD ON about 1 hour ago??? The SAME one??? Really??? You smell great…nice!” Silage!!!
One reviewer, who disliked this perfume called this fragrance “cheap, synthetic, dark, odd, etc with ‘urban glossy darkness’ & pretention, etc.” I can understand this reviewer’s experience, I really can because that is (sorta) the way this fragrance opens.
But give it time and delight in the dry-down. This EDP is long lasting and is a beautifully warm, comforting floral (rose) & resinous fragrance. Silage is great & really pleasant. Not sure I have the budget to spring for a full bottle. And unlike By Killian, not sure if this MFK fragrance is worthy of its hefty price tag. I’m going to take some time in the near future to re-experience “similar” fragrances, as mentioned above.
Definitely worthy of a sample try, if you like rose & oud AND you can wait for the dry-down!!!
Lillian_fromAC – :
Not for me! thank you! had a sample very disappointed with this stuff. My opinion
tqusernamej1 – :
I ordered some samples and the only thing I could smell when I opened the package was this. The rose here is way over powering and to me the combination of rose and oud brings rubber to mind. I hate the opening. After two hours though the rose is almost gone and all that is left is the oud. And thanks to this I finally know what oud smells like. It’s the smell that makes me want to sneeze in most fragrances. I seriously need to give my sample to someone else the smell is so strong. Love the colour of the juice though!
астрейн – :
the rose here is borderline ‘too sweet’, and the oud, unfortunately, doesn’t counterbalance it enough. whilst this is in the top echelon of rose-oud scents, it isn’t the best of the best (that, for mine, goes to jo malone velvet rose oud), and there just isn’t enough depth and complexity. still a 8 – 8.5 out of 10, but not in the legend category…
EDIT: 5 hours in it turns to a montale-esque oud smell. dark, bitter and medicinal. it overpowers the rose…
prokl – :
I love it when people so definitively claim this is NOT for a guy. Just say “I wouldn’t wear it”, but that said I absolutely love this fragrance. Got a sample from Bergdoff Goodman while picking up By Kilian Back to Black. I can’t get enough of this scent. It envelopes the wear in a rose oud cloud and doesn’t let go for hours. I wear this whenever I need a slight mental vacation or as a bedtime scent. Wearing it during the day or active times simply makes it do difficult for me to be “present”. Do yourself a favor and get this if you are a Rose/Oud person.
kostyan.bmw – :
What an amazing scent… It starts off a bit sharply, but in around ten minutes it calms down and becomes the most harmonious oud based composition I have ever smelt.
To add the chamomile note into the composition was a brilliant idea, it creates something special here, unexpected, unusual, gorgeous. It’s hard to explain, hard to describe this slightly herbaceous freshness-to-bitterness, which by no means makes a bitter perfume out of SILK MOOD, no, it’s actually a sweet perfume! The sweetness comes from the roses. Oh, I’m in heaven right now as I smell it from my wrist…
I think I fail to unravel the magic of this work. Usually I can tell why I love what and why this and that work this way, etc. But not here. Just pure delight. Francis Kurkdjian does it again. I think he’s the biggest perfumer of our time. There are perfumers out there who are undoubtedly very talented and whom I love with all my perfumista’s heart (and nose), but this guy is just one of a kind. I think he’s a man of rare genius. I have observed his career for around ten years, because, in my opinion, he demonstrated sparks of genius even in the very beginning of his professional path. I must say that his talent has developed into something truly outstanding and influential.
Back to the perfume – I think it’s completely unisex, however, it’s so refined, so exquisite, and I may imagine that guys might prefer a “tougher” oud from MFK’s collection. I would say SILK MOOD will do wonders on female skin. It does on mine… I’m starting to save up for this miracle of perfumery from now on.
1003 – :
Fragranza SPLENDIDA, una rosa fiabesca, da mille e una notte. Estremamente intenso, persistentissimo, un capolavoro. Carissimo, perché Francis K. ha utilizzato il pregiatissimo Oud del Laos, e di una classe infinita. Bastano realmente pochissime gocce, un sovradosaggio può causare vertigine da tanto è potente ..Nessuna delicatezza, un profumo da sogno che crea dipendenza.
Sono d’accordo con cremedefleur, questo profumo commuove per la sua struggente bellezza..
Unico piccolo neo.. la nota di fiorellini di camomilla che procura un’asperità evitabile..
CookAffomeoli – :
This is another stunner by MFK. At first, this smells like my beautiful mother’s intricately embroidered silk saris that she wears to Indian weddings. It smells regal, elegant and celebratory (it celebrates love, I feel.) After the drenched-in-silken-roses-mood you are transported to the library of a Maharaja–the scent of very old Indian maps, money and silk bound books and tablets are evoked. I know this is not subjective because when I asked my husband what two things come to mind, he said silk saris and Indian paper! That is crazy specific! I think this perfume is art and the longevity is insane but I find his Oud to be a masterpiece and this is what I will go with (it was a decision between the two for me.) The saffron note in his Oud is a note of such pure beauty that it moved me to tears the first time I wore it.
gogas240 – :
At first i flat out said, “this is black aoud by Montale”. But its not even close. Its so different.
Oud Silk Mood is the epitome of the Middle Eastern Rose & Oud perfume in my eyes. Its so beautiful, so sparkling, so sexy. There is absolutely nothing that doesn’t ooze class here.
The Rose is gorgeous and juicy. It never fades to the background. Its always there, to let you know that its the boss. Its not soapy, not powdery. Its as if you were to pick a Rose out of the ground and dig your nose into it. Thats what you get.
There is something that adds a certain dustiness to the rose, it almost smells like an ever so slight citrus, but not. I believe this is the papryus. That would make sense to me.
The backbone of the scent is the Oud. Everpresent. Giving character, depth, and thickness. It adds a layer of beauty that no other material on the earth could.
The liquid is purple, and somehow, if i had to think of a color while i smell this perfume, i swear it would be the dark grayish purple color of the liquid.
The presentation is absolutely outstanding. Heavy glass, heavy metal cap. Gold embellishments throughout.
Projection is absoultey perfect. Medium. It draws people into you. It does not hit them over the head with a bat.
Longevity is excellent. Easily 10-12 hours.
Yes, it is extremely expensive. But it has done what many perfumes fail to do at any price. It makes my heart sing, and when i close my eyes and breathe deeply, it takes me to a place far far away.
Another Masterpiece by Francis Kurkdjian.
canypan – :
I think that OUD SILK MOOD is more masculine than feminine, even though it has loads of flowers.
At the start I was hit in the face with loads of soapy/sharp bulgarian rose and aoud. Here the aoud is a bit similar to aoud in Montale’s Black Aoud and Red Aoud, not at all ruberry and leathery, but very sharp, oily and dark. There is also a bitter note of chamomile, which gives a very herbal and dark edge to the whole composition.
The deal with OUD SILK MOOD is that it’s very linear on me and there is no sweetness whatsoever, it stays true to it’s masculine character.
Longevity is very good, 12+ hours. It was rather loud at the first 4 hours, but became a nice lingering scent afterwards.
A good try to males who enjoy rose in their fragrances.
DuefSuetSlolo – :
opening is pretty harsh … sort of like montale fragrances. however the whiffs u get from it during drydown will have you smelling yourself all day. last pretty long even after a shower
Chacki – :
The opening notes are not my cup of tea (quite sharp I would say), but then it changes and this overpriced fragrance develops in almost the same way as Rose Oud from Monotheme Fragrances from Venice. Costs a tenth of this… (I bought it this summer in Italy for 19 euros). Still very nice, though!
antapebulaMup – :
Reminds me of the rose in Tom Ford’ s Noir de Noir.
Both are deep with an underlying tone of the Oud. I find Tom Ford’s version smoother though.
What puts me off a little is that the rose stays sharp for quite a while. So not so sure about this one. This is the strongest of the 3 in the collection. After the harshness/sourness fades, it is a relatively simplistic composition.
Its definately unisex. But I think the sharpness puts this more on the femme side.
sasha12100 – :
Super long lasting and smells great! I layer it with Cashmere Mood to take away from the more feminine smell of the silk and sharpness of the cashmere.
VIK_T – :
The combination of rose and Oud is a classic one and when it’s done by FK you know its going to be done well.
Just not my thing yet again.
If you love Oud & rose in a simple composition, oh and you can afford it then I recommend this.
I think it’s more suited to a woman due to the Rose and soft soapy effect created by the chamomile possibly?
It needs spice and a darker edge for a man.
demonnn – :
After wearing this, it’s my new favorite rose. Au revoir Montale, Amouage and Bond No. 9. In the beginning, it kind of smells like a rose-scented, black, permanent felt-tip marker. I always loved that smell, and it occurs to me that someone should make a fragrance that smells just like that. I’m looking at you, Comme des Garçons. I do like most of the Montale roses, even if they are screechy synthetics, but they don’t compare to this rose, which, while strong, smells more authentic, and kind of green and leafy, which I’m guessing is the papyrus. The rose in Amouage’s Lyric for men starts out so bright and lively, but it dries down to the lumbering clumsiness of incense and spices consistent with the house’s style. I respect Amouage and I do wear Interlude, but the house style for me is just too damned fat. Bloated even. I also wear New York Oud by Bond No. 9. I like it a lot, though I don’t care much for that house’s copycat approach to product development. And they put out too much too fast (not unlike the perfume mills that are Parfumerie Générale and the other Pierre Guillaume projects). Anyway, New York Oud is incredibly sharp and the rose and oud both smell just as synthetic and screechy as any Montale, if not more so. I’ve also found that the Bond and Montale oud-rose scents don’t evolve well on my skin. The Bond stays the same and just gets weaker with no significant changes. The Montales tend to turn acrid on my skin after a couple of hours. Every now and then, I love wearing ridiculously luxurious, regal scents like those from Amouage, but most of the time, I’m happy with innovative use of a few high-quality ingredients. That’s what Oud Silk Mood is. It’s so simple and elegant, only a genius could have come up with it. The rose and oud are soft, but definitely noticeable, and complement each other beautifully. They don’t compete with each other like they do in New York Oud.

airatgt – :
Very strong rose opening with very little oud perceivable. I cannot imagine this as a unisex fragrance given the intensely floral/rose accord… it is clearly feminine. Whereas cashmere mood gave me nothing but a one note bitter oud, this cologne is nothing more than a one note rose fragrance. More proof that flankers are never usually as good as the original. (25)
hayyam828 – :
I got a sample of this fragrance and fell in love instantly; been using it daily till the last drop. The oud is very well done- the BEST oud rose combo there is; take it from someone who has Rose Oud/ Montale/ City Love/ Atelier. Downside is the price- only 70ml bottle but 30% concentration (making it an extract). I think one spray will be enough and it last for days! Apparently they use the best oud in the world (from Laos) which explains the price. Am thinking of getting a bottle soon and will be gladly to do splits. I estimate around 30USD for 5ml with decant and shippment. Drop me a message if you are interested.

For the first hour or so, this offering is a little harsh and unappealing and then WOW – it develops into an alluring, intoxicating rose/oud offering in perfect balance and symmetry – only problem is the price – very, very expensive – I think I’ll go for the Jo Malone Rose/Oud
patrol79 – :
This one is nicely done and everything about it whispers: good quality. Rose is there and so is oud, blended together effortlessly, I can also smell papyrus (it must be the papyrus as it’s the same note I can smell in Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme and both scents share three notes: rose, oud and papyrus). I like it a lot. But… For me certainly doesn’t win over Guerlain’s Rose Nacree du Desert and Atelier’s RA. Would I wear it? Happily. Will I buy it? No. In my honest opinion is way too overpriced. But I can add it to my wish list shall I win lottery one day!
I noticed I have cravings for this fragrance! Thank god I have three different shops around that sell MFK so I can pop in an satisfy my craving. Damn that price!!!
mperetokin – :
Now, this a big floral rose with a very prominent oud on the background. The Bulgarian Rose screams “i am here!”. There a certain cool yet dry aspect in this. Luminiscent and airy are the two words I am looking for. As the undulating waves of both rose and oud are constant through out, i catch a delicate hint of chamomile which adds complexity to it. It read feminine to me but I could see men sporting this scent too. I like it, very light and feels like putting on a silk scarf, seeing it effortlessly getting carried away as the breeze passes you. Longevity is very good and projection is moderate.Rate: 4/5

If you’re a fan of the David Yurman signature fragrance this fragrance is signature’s brother only this one is a bit stronger and has a more pungent smell
It starts off very strong with a smell of oud and that mushroomy smell David Yurman has but then it dries down to a silky oud smell that I really enjoy. Last much longer than DY and is way stronger but for almost 3x the price of DY, why wouldn’t it? Very nice and my favorite of the 3 new oud collections by MFK 🙂

Am I the only one to get ‘clean body’ from FK’s scents? Silk Oud is yet another. The next time your partner steps out of the shower, stick your nose in their toweled hair… that is the smell I’m talking about. FK loves it.
Oud tends to go one of two ways with me, as if it were a fire: One is smoldering and warm, the other sputtering and wet. The ‘clean bodies’ issue pushes Silk into the ‘wet’ side. And this is my complaint: it never sets off.
It also goes out too quickly. Very faint after just one hour. There is something ‘herbal like’ coming through, and I”m not sure I like this as much as the snappy, dryer florals.
Dry down is muddled on me, and I would call this a man’s fragrance. It does sweeten with time, and I like it as a lingering whisp on my clothes. This is an OK frag with me, which comes down to chemistry and preference.

Only after about 45 min. this perfume develops into an olfactory miracle: sweet and bitter together, sensitive and intriguing. It’s indeed the case when it’s worth to wait.

Solo dopo circa 45 min. questo profumo si sviluppa in un miracolo olfattivo: dolce e amaro, sensibile ed intrigante. È davvero un caso quando aspettare vale la pena.
