The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian's Oud Ispahan Esprit De Parfum, launched by Dior in 2024, offers a rich blend of warm and fresh spices interwoven with the deep complexity of oud and rose. The composition opens with cumin and clove, creating an initial burst of warmth that transitions into the heart of floral richness. This fragrance is not just about the notes but the journey they take you on — from spicy vibrancy to the enveloping depth of oud.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, so follow up with a light spritz to keep the oud and rose base well-balanced throughout the day.
