New Release: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Velvet Haze Eau de Parfum
Maison Francis Kurkdjian fans, listen up! After a year and a half, master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian unveils a new addition to the Oud Mood collection: Oud Velvet Mood Extrait de Parfum. Inspired by his 2025 visit to the vast landscapes of the Liwa Dunes in Abu Dhabi, it captures the raw beauty of the sprawling desert in an exquisite extrait de parfum.
🔹 Velvet Sand Veil: A Velvety Sensory Experience
Following the delicacy of Silk Mood and the fluidity of Satin Mood, Francis interprets the plush texture of velvet through this creation. Oud is given exceptional aromatic depth, blending smoky and honeyed notes. Under the starry sky of the Liwa Dunes, the touch of sand transforms into the gentle caress of a fuzzy peach, breaking away from oud's inherent heaviness.
🔹 Peach and Oud: A Sensual Duet
This extrait de parfum presents a modern feel through a minimalist structure. The ruggedness of oud is softened by juicy peach, while osmanthus's leathery notes and delicate suede accords enhance a skin-like, second-skin effect. The bottle continues the brand's classic square crystal silhouette, with a gold cap contrasting sharply against dark smoked glass, exuding understated luxury.
