The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 17 March 2022 6 Comments

A possible lemming for fans of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood: "In this 350-piece limited edition, OUD satin mood eau de parfum wears a new attire, delicately hand-engraved in a Parisian workshop. Eight hours of work were necessary to craft two faces of each precious 200 ml bottle, with a golden pattern inspired from mashrabiyas. OUD satin mood brings to life a shimmering Orient, its bewitching floral and woody fragrance suspends time. This haute couture eau de parfum is like a precious fabric that delicately caresses the skin." $1250 for 200 ml at Neiman Marcus.

    I love that design plus I love Oud Satin Mood, but I don’t foresee buying this for some reason, lol!

      It is not a bargain, is it?

    It’s a very pretty bottle, especially the color. And I enjoyed my OSM sample very much. But one problem with this LE bottle is that it doesn’t really “look” hand-engraved? If you’re going to charge $1250 there needs to be a more luxurious touch. Honestly it looks like a regular fused design done in gold, the hand engraved part is lost. I compare this to the LE Guerlain bottles for May Day or the Lalique; unique, artistic interpretation, when you look at them they appear hand crafted. This one? Too basic. Again, pretty color.

      I don’t know if it looks hand engraved, but would agree it looks lovely but maybe not 1250 lovely.
