      It’s on pre order in selfridges London. Just listed to FK on a podcast and he said it was his most “famous “ or “renowned “ perfume but it didn’t sell at all and that he wouldn’t redo it again. Funny cause it is coming back now.

    I sampled Oud Satin edp and extrait side by side and think you would greatly prefer the extrait! It has the same intense style that the other Oud extraits do but with that smooth vanilla of the satin mood. Absolutely gorgeous scent

    The only MFK I own is Petit Matin. It's actually my favourite spring fragrance, I like to wear it most in May when the hawthorns bloom, as that is one of the notes and the scent of warmed hawthorn in the spring air is one of my most favourite scents ☀️

    I’ve only gotten into fragrance the last few months, and am working my way through a lot of samples I’ve ordered. The notes on BR540 didn’t interest me at all, but I wanted to try it as a point of reference since it is so commonly referred to. I finally tried it yesterday (extrait) and my gosh, I fell in love. As a fragrance newbie I’ve found it so interesting that fragrances with notes I love haven’t impressed me, and vice versa. Doesn’t bother me that BR540 is so popular, I live in a small town, and I wear fragrances for me anyway.

    Thank you for the great review! Ciel de Gum is forever in my heart, my childhood memories intertwined with the cinnamon aura around you that it creates when you wear it (and yes, I immediately checked if my bottle has the image of the Gum roof, it does, I wasn't aware of it, thanks for pointing that out). Grand Soir is my "theater tonight" scent.

    I just got a bottle of Dior Oud Ispahan because I smelled the miniature and it reminded me of my Oud Silk Mood EDP which I was down to my last spray. For some reason I was totally wrong or my new bottle of Oud Ispahan hasn't 'matured' enough.
    MFK does oud fragrances so beautifully and I will never get over that. I would need to get a bottle of Silk Mood again. I just wonder how does Satin Mood compare to it?

    Surprised that you haven't even gotten a decant of Satine Mood Extrait. You should. To me, Extrait is exactly what I want in an extrait, the edp fragrance smell, but stronger and longer lasting. It is turn to 11, and it is the better of the 2, try to get your nose on it and it will definitely replace the EDP.

    [APOM] by Maison Francis kurkdjian is one of the 3 best orange blossom perfumes I’ve sniffed, however something in Apom unsettles me. It has a sweetness and rawness I can’t describe that should have been tapered with mixing with harsher citrus accords to make it more acidic or can I say zestier? but hey, I’m a sucker for orange 🍊 perfumes.

    As a big fan of yours, I'm surprised you left out Masculin Pluriel. Reminds me so much of the 80's and the early 90's.
    Funny story - I came across this fragrance when Nikki Sixx from Mötley Crüe did an Instagram post about this fragrance.
    It's just wonderful.
    Funny story - when I was in my teens I was into heavy metal and tried to get autographs from every band that came to town (Goteborg/Sweden). Back in '84 I actually met Nikki Sixx and he overdosed (heavily) on Lagerfeld Cologne....and so did I! 😅
