Oud Ispahan by Dior, created by François Demachy, is a woody-oriental floral fragrance. It opens with a resinous labdanum, followed by a lush Damascena rose draped over warm saffron and earthy patchouli. The base settles into agarwood (oud), creamy sandalwood, and cedar. The overall impression is velvety, opulent, and at times slightly animalic, presenting a polished, Westernized rose and oud composition that is luxurious, resinous, warm, and subtly smoky. Reviewers often describe it as velvety, opulent, sensual, warm, resinous, animalic/earthy, refined, and a 'head-turner'. It is sometimes compared to Portrait of a Lady and By Kilian Rose Oud in feel, but is generally considered softer and more rounded than harsher, medicinal oud fragrances.
