Oud Ispahan

Oud Ispahan (2012) is François Demac's unisex Oriental Floral built on a stark base of agarwood (oud), sandalwood, and cedar. The listed pyramid omits top and heart notes, but the accord data reveals a composition dominated by oud (100%), woody (97%), and rose (96%), with warm spicy (67%), amber (65%), and patchouli (54%) in support. In practice, the opening is a dense, resinous oud laced with a dark, velvety rose; the sandalwood and cedar add a dry, creamy woodiness that keeps the blend from turning syrupy. The patchouli lends an earthy, slightly camphoraceous edge, while amber and spice round out the base with warmth.

This is a collector's oud: bold, long-lasting, and unapologetically Middle Eastern in character. It suits wearers who appreciate rose-oud pairings and are comfortable with a fragrance that projects. Ideal for evening wear, cool weather, and formal occasions. Those who prefer light, fresh, or minimalist scents may find it overwhelming. For enthusiasts of the genre, it remains a reference point from Dior's niche-oriented line.

Oud Ispahan（2012）由 François Demac 調製，屬中性東方花香調。官方未列出前調與中調，但根據香調數據，沉香（烏木）佔 100%、木質 97%、玫瑰 96%，並有暖辛香 67%、琥珀 65%、廣藿香 54% 襯托。實際聞起來，開端是濃郁樹脂感的沉香，交織深沉天鵝絨般的玫瑰；檀香與雪松帶來乾爽乳脂木質，避免過甜。廣藿香添上泥土與微樟腦氣息，琥珀與辛香則令基調更溫暖。

此香氣場強大、持久，是中東風格沉香愛好者的收藏之選。適合喜歡玫瑰與沉香組合、不介意擴散度高的用家。推薦晚間、秋冬及正式場合使用；偏好清新或極簡香氣者或會覺得厚重。對這類香調的藏家而言，它是 Dior 沙龍線中極具參考價值的作品。
