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.
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.

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
Resinous rose-oud-sandalwood base is a cold-weather, evening fragrance with little summer use.
Occasions
Sensual, distinctive character suits date nights and formal occasions over daytime casual wear.
