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 - Fearless Oud EDP
Rebel Aromas' budget take on Dior's Oud Ispahan. Fearless Oud keeps the saffron-rose-oud skeleton but plays it flatter and louder up top, fading to a simpler amber-leather base with noticeably less depth and staying power than the original.
