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 - Agua Ispahan EDP
Agua Ispahan reproduces Dior Oud Ispahan's labdanum-rose-oud-sandalwood five-note structure faithfully while softening the original's famously animalic, barnyard-strong rose into something gentler and more wearable.
