The story behind the bottle.
Ard Al Zaafaran's Oud Isphahan is an evocative blend of warm spices and woody notes, capturing the essence of a lasting Middle Eastern bazaar. The fragrance opens with saffron and pepper, creating a bright and spicy introduction that transitions into a heart of floral notes and thyme. This leads to a rich base of oud, patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, amber, and musk — evoking the deep, enveloping warmth of an ancient spice route.
Apply Oud Isphahan with confidence, as it blooms beautifully on skin over time. The spicy top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow the fragrance to settle for an hour before fully appreciating its depth and warmth.
