Dior - Oud Ispahan (sample sizes)

Dior Oud Ispahan smells rich, dark, and opulent, built around the classic combination of smoky oud and velvety rose. It opens with a warm, resinous character that quickly reveals a deep floral heart of Damask rose, where the rose feels lush and slightly sweet rather than fresh or delicate. As it develops, oud becomes increasingly prominent, adding a dry, smoky, woody depth alongside earthy patchouli and warm resinous nuances. Overall, it smells woody, rosy, smoky, and slightly animalic, with a powerful Middle Eastern-inspired character that feels luxurious, dramatic, and especially suited to cooler weather and evening wear.
