Midnight Oud

The Story
Midnight Oud is a bold, smoky take on oud that feels both ancient and modern. Francis Kurkdjian blends leathery oud with bright bergamot and a touch of raspberry, creating a dark yet surprisingly fresh opening. The heart is a rich mix of saffron and rose, while the base settles into a warm, animalic blend of patchouli, musk, and vanilla. It's a statement scent for those who love oud but want something with a bit of sparkle.

This is a night-out or cold-weather scent. It's too heavy for summer or office wear, but perfect for evenings, dates, or special events in fall and winter.
