KSh6,500.00

Oud Ispahan Esprit de Parfum is a 2024 reinterpretation of Dior’s iconic rose-oud fragrance, crafted by Francis Kurkdjian. This version intensifies the original’s character, introducing a spicier, darker, and more opulent profile that leans into the richness of Middle Eastern perfumery traditions.

Key notes

Here are the official fragrance notes for Oud Ispahan Esprit de Parfum (2024), composed by Francis Kurkdjian for Dior:


Top Notes:

  • Cumin – warm, slightly animalic, and spicy

  • Clove – rich, sweet-spicy, and aromatic

Heart Note:

  • Rose – opulent, honeyed, and central to the composition

Base Notes:

  • Oud – deep, smoky, and resinous

  • Additional Spicy Notes – intensify the warmth and richness


This version of Oud Ispahan places a stronger emphasis on spices and intensity, with the oud and rose remaining as the core, but surrounded by a much darker and denser aura. Compared to the original Eau de Parfum, the Esprit de Parfum is less floral-fresh and more resinous, spicy, and enveloping.

Longevity:

12 to 16+ hours

  • This Esprit de Parfum concentration offers exceptional staying power.

  • On skin, it easily lasts all day and into the next.

  • On fabric, it can linger for days.

  • The intensity of the spices and oud gives it serious endurance, especially in cooler weather.


Sillage:

Strong to very strong

  • Oud Ispahan Esprit projects significantly for the first 4–5 hours.

  • It creates a noticeable and luxurious scent trail — ideal for those who want to make an impression.

  • While it settles slightly over time, it never becomes a skin scent — it maintains presence throughout its wear.


Performance Summary:

  • Longevity: 10/10

  • Sillage: 9/10

  • Projection: Bold but refined; room-filling in the first few hours

This is a fragrance for those who appreciate depth, drama, and lasting power — perfect for formal evenings, cooler months, or signature scent lovers who want something powerful yet elegant.
