Which Should You Buy?
The Fragrance World UK's £4.95/30ml interpretation of Dior Oud Ispahan (2012) - the pyramid maps the original's rose opening, oud heart, and labdanum dry-down. Liverpool dupe-house pricing on a recognisable smell-alike for casual rotation.
Ex Parfum Legend Oud is a saffron-and-spice opening over a rose-and-patchouli heart with amber-woody base. Sister-line to Marien's oud-amber spine, with the brand claiming 48-hour wear from the high oil concentration.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The rose-led opening and labdanum-anchored close mirror the original's seasonal range, though the budget composition fades faster than the Dior bottle in heavier conditions.
Occasions
A budget interpretation that keeps the original's structure - the dupe reads cleaner and shorter, making it best suited to casual rotation rather than as a replacement for the Dior signature.
Seasons
Saffron-rose-patchouli-oud structure reads dense and warm; cold-weather wear lets the composition bloom. Summer heat amplifies the smoke and resin uncomfortably.
Occasions
Opulent oud-rose-amber composition reads evening, date-night, and formal occasion. Daytime and casual wear over-project for the daily context.
