Oud Ispahan
Eau de parfum
A face-off between oud and damask rose, direct and uncompromising.
Oud Ispahan brings together two materials of character: oud wood, dark and lightly smoky, and a full, almost fleshy damask rose. Neither yields to the other, and the fragrance is born of that tension.
The result is opulent and direct, with an ample trail that makes no attempt at discretion. A creation for winter evenings, for those who like fragrances that assert their presence.

Oud Ispahan in detail
Oud Ispahan belongs to La Collection Privée Christian Dior, a series of unisex fragrances conceived like couture silhouettes, each drawn from a memory or an inspiration. Its name evokes Isfahan, the former Persian capital, and its composition focuses on a face-to-face: oud wood and rose.
Dior lists its notes without sorting them into stages, and the list is deliberately short. Oud brings a woody depth, dark and slightly animalic. Damask rose, rich and velvety, answers it and softens it. The fragrance does not try to multiply nuances: it rests on the balance between these two materials, in which Volute mainly reads a woody, rosy accord warmed with amber.
Oud Ispahan is an evening fragrance for autumn and winter: a dinner, a night out, an occasion when you enjoy an intense fragrance.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its oud: Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli, which pairs it with passion fruit; Halfeti by Penhaligon's, which blends it with rose and citrus; Interlude Man by Amouage, where it joins incense and leather.
