Dior Oud Ispahan EDP
Description
A regal rose-and-oud powerhouse that wraps deep agarwood and saffron in luminous Damascus rose. Created by François Demachy for Dior's La Collection Privée (Maison Christian Dior) and launched in 2012, Oud Ispahan is one of the house's most opulent oriental statements — a velvety, resinous oud lifted by a jammy rose heart. Reviewers consistently call it a “beast” of a fragrance, palatial and unmistakably luxurious.
Scent Character
- Woody — 50%
- Floral — 17%
- Spicy — 17%
- Oud — 17%
Translation: an oud-forward, woody core wrapped in rich rose and warmed by saffron spice — dark, smooth and resolutely luxurious rather than bright or fresh.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Labdanum
Heart: Rose, Patchouli, Saffron
Base: Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Cedar
Performance
Longevity: Excellent — reviewers consistently report 8–12 hours, often detectable into the next day.
Sillage: Strong — a generous, room-filling trail.
Projection: Heavy in the opening hours; apply with a light hand. This is a true powerhouse, not an office-safe skin scent.
Best Occasions & Season
Best for evening and special occasions, and at its finest in fall and winter when its resinous warmth blooms. A unisex composition equally at home on men and women.
Concentration & Provenance
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Perfumer: François Demachy
House: Dior — La Collection Privée (Maison Christian Dior)
Year: 2012
