Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Ispahan EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Oud Ispahan Oil
401 takes on Dior's Maison Oud Ispahan rose-and-oud richness, with a strong rose-labdanum opening that lands well, though the oud itself is noticeably less smoky and thick than Dior's version, and the projection is a fraction of the original's famously powerful sillage.
