Oud Ispahan Esprit De

by Francis Kurkdjian

Dior Oud Ispahan Esprit De is a Parfum launched in 2024, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Oud Ispahan Esprit De opens with Cumin and Clove, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Oud and Spicy. Dior's Oud Ispahan Esprit De carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This is a polarising EDP. If you love the beast mode of original Oud Ispahan, you'll likely adore this darker, spicier, and even more potent 'Esprit' version. However, be warned: the strong oud and cumin can be challenging for some, described as 'dirty' or even 'cowshit extrait'. It's not for the faint of heart - definitely sample before committing.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With nuclear longevity and projection, this is far too potent and attention-grabbing for office wear or casual daytime use. Its rich, dark, and animalic profile, however, makes it ideal for formal events and intimate date nights in cooler weather, where its powerful presence can truly shine without overwhelming.

About

Dior Oud Ispahan Esprit De Parfum opens with a fiery blast of cumin and clove, quickly making way for a robust, animalic oud. The heart maintains a shadowy rose, pushed to the background by the dominant spice and woody notes. It's a scent that promises intensity and delivers, evolving into a deeply warm and spicy dry-down with underlying whispers of the original Oud Ispahan DNA, but dialled up to eleven.
