Launched in 2018 by François Demachy, Oud Ispahan by Dior is a woody amber fragrance that marries the sultry warmth of oud with the delicate notes of rose and spices. The composition opens with cumin and clove, creating an immediate sense of depth and complexity. As it develops on the skin, the spiciness gives way to a rich blend of oud and rose, which is further enhanced by warm balsamic undertones. This fragrance is a proof of Dior's enduring legacy of sophisticated elegance.

Application Tips
Given its strong sillage and eternal longevity, Oud Ispahan requires minimal application. A single spritz is enough to make a lasting impression. It's best applied to pulse points for optimal warmth and projection.
