What does Oud Ispahan (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Labdanum leads the opening, and patchouli gives the heart an earthy depth. In the base, oud, rose and sandalwood come together: the scent rests on a woody, resinous, smoky frame, softened by floral and sweet touches. Spicy and animal tones stay in the background and strengthen the oriental character.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Few voters choose it for summer heat, and spring draws fewer votes as well. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean to one gender. Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Khaltat Aşk (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
