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.
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.

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
A dense rose-oud oriental built for cold weather and evening wear.
Occasions
Opulent and statement-making, this suits formal occasions and evenings rather than everyday casual wear.
