In 2012, Francis Kurkdjian started an olfactory dialogue with Agarwood, commonly known as oud wood. The finest examples of this natural ingredient – half-wood, half-lichen – are found in Laos. It made its debut in the perfumer’s palette during the creation of the awarded OUD, an eau de parfum that transcends adjectives, fashions and trends.

 

OUD Extrait is an olfactory treasure born of sand, wind and gold. From the Orient, it conveys mystery and sensuality. From Laos, it draws purity and refinement. The main notes of the eau de parfum are complemented by an accord made of musk and vanilla that releases a harmony of spicy rich notes.
