The review
Oud Ispahan scores 7.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Oud Ispahan.
Pearl Fragrance sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Ispahan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $38 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Oud Ispahan — the 5th cheapest of 9 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Pearl Fragrance publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Dior Oud Ispahan is rose at first, agarwood, sandalwood and labdanum at its heart and patchouli, sandalwood and leather at the end. Pearl Fragrance set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- rose
Heart
- agarwood
- sandalwood
- labdanum
Base
- patchouli
- sandalwood
- leather
Dense agarwood and Damascan rose with a leathery growl, opulent and serious.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
