No.420 Oud Ispahan Parfum

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.
A budget take on Dior's Oud Ispahan, Eden's No.420 leans into the rose-and-oud combination but renders it flatter and sweeter than the original's smoky rockrose depth, with lighter longevity that suits daytime testing rather than an all-night event.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
The resinous labdanum, patchouli and oud combination reads warm and heavy, suited to cooler months rather than summer heat.
Occasions
The smoky rose-oud character is too intense for office wear but fits evening dates and formal occasions where the original is typically reached for.
