Review of Oud Ispahan Eau de Parfum by RINA

The fragrance opens with a dark, deep accord of rose, patchouli, labdanum, and oud. It's a truly modern oriental scent. The slightly animalic notes of labdanum and oud are distinctive, with hints of leather and tobacco. The gorgeous rose, combined with the dark, deep, and cool impression of oud and labdanum, creates a deep and rich unisex fragrance perfect for autumn and winter. It exudes a captivating and sensual atmosphere. The animalic elements are quite strong, and when applied to the skin, it creates an even more sensual impression. Described as a fragrance that captures the overwhelming sense of exhilaration felt the moment one opens the doors of an Eastern palace, it's a distinctly oriental type. The scent that washes over you the moment you open the doors… It's both vibrant and gorgeous, with a slightly cool air and an overwhelming sense of opulent elegance. The animalic quality of this oud is不思議 (mysterious/remarkable), yet it can also convey elegance, sensuality, and a slightly cool impression. The multifaceted charm it brings out from a single ingredient is reflected in its title. The nobility of rose elegantly tames the wildness of the oud, which is the charm of this perfume. Its tension-filled beauty elevates it beyond a simple oriental note. And, as expected from Dior, it adds a magnificent harmony and elegance. The dark, sensual, and captivating impression exudes a mature charm that only adults can possess, adding depth and richness.
