Dior Oud Ispahan Inspired Oud

Flora Five's Dior Oud Ispahan inspired unisex oud is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the smouldering rose-and-saffron opulence of Oud Ispahan by Christian Dior. Resinous labdanum sets the stage for a heart of Damask rose, hot saffron and earthy patchouli, grounded by dark agarwood, sandalwood and cedar that carry it for roughly 6–8 hours on skin.

Dior Oud Ispahan inspired oud: fragrance notes

• Top: Labdanum
• Heart: Rose, Patchouli, Saffron
• Base: Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Cedar

How it compares. Our oud captures the recognisable Oud Ispahan accord — plush Damask rose wrapped in saffron and resinous oud. Rendered as a pure oil with no alcohol, it forgoes the loud first blast of a spray, blooms at a slower and richer pace, stays nearer to the skin, and keeps glowing well after an eau de parfum would have faded.

With no alcohol in the formula, it will not sting or dry the skin. Press the roller to your wrists and the base of your throat, then let your own warmth draw out the rose and oud over the evening. Oils of this depth are best kept away from white or delicate fabrics.

Available as a roll-on in 3 ml, 6 ml and 12 ml. Free shipping on orders from ₹499 · Cash on Delivery available (₹50 COD fee) · 7-day exchange or store credit.

Frequently asked questions

What does Flora Five's Dior Oud Ispahan smell like?
Imagine a Persian rose garden at dusk with incense drifting through it: velvety Damask rose and saffron over a bed of oud, sandalwood and cedar, with labdanum adding a resinous, amber-like sheen. It is warm, opulent and unmistakably oriental — romantic rather than barnyard-raw.

How long does it last?
This is one of our longest wearers: roughly 6–8 hours on skin, and often through to the next morning on clothing. The rose-saffron phase dominates the first few hours before the oud-sandalwood drydown settles in. A single swipe per pulse point is genuinely enough.

How is Flora Five's version different from the original Oud Ispahan?
Dior's version is an alcohol-based spray from their exclusive collection at a luxury price; ours is a concentrated oil interpretation. The rose-saffron-oud character is faithfully drawn, but it wears softer at the opening, sits closer, lasts longer, and costs a small fraction of the boutique bottle.

Is this a good first oud?
Yes — arguably one of the friendliest doors into oud. The rose and saffron sweeten and polish the agarwood, so you get the depth and mystery of oud without the challenging medicinal edge some pure ouds carry. If you already love rose attars, this is a natural next step.
