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 Noted Aromas interpretation of Dior Oud Ispahan (2012) - rose, oud and oud translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Seasons
Heavy oud-rose-patchouli built for cold weather only.
Occasions
Formal evening, statement wear.
