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

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
