Is Oud Cashmere Mood still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find and is primarily available through collectors or secondary market resellers.
How does the "cashmere" element translate into the scent?+−
The name refers to the feeling the fragrance evokes rather than a specific note. The combination of benzoin and labdanum creates a warm, resinous "cocoon" effect that mimics the heavy, cozy sensation of a luxury wool wrap.
Is this a safe "blind buy" for someone who likes oud?+−
Generally, no. Even for oud lovers, the opening is famously harsh and synthetic-smelling to some, featuring a "burnt wood" quality that can be off-putting before the vanilla and resins balance it out.
Does this fragrance lean more masculine or feminine?+−
While marketed as unisex, the community often perceives it as leaning slightly masculine due to the intense smokiness and lack of prominent floral notes, though the sweet balsamic dry down makes it wearable for anyone who enjoys bold, woody scents.
