Which Should You Buy?
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.
Royal Oud is Aromara's take on Dior Oud Ispahan, a regal rose-and-oud from the Privé collection - rose and saffron opening into an oud-patchouli-amber heart over sandalwood and cedarwood. Built at 35% Extrait.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its nuclear projection and immense longevity, Oud Ispahan is far too potent for everyday office wear. It's a beast mode fragrance best reserved for special occasions like dates or formal events where its commanding presence and sensual nature can shine without overwhelming those around you.
