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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oud Ispahan Extrait
Pearl Fragrances copies Dior Oud Ispahan's labdanum-and-rose signature, a note pairing reviewers say gives the original its distinctive character, but the oud in the base reads noticeably lighter than the luxurious original's dense trail.
