Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Ispahan
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Edinburgh
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (2015) - rose, oud and oud translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Ispahan
Seasons
Best For:
Autumn
Winter
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
Best For:
Date
Formal
Also Works:
Office
Casual
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.
