Oud Highness Privezarah

Conclusion

Privezarah is for the individual who wants to project quiet confidence. Someone who appreciates a touch of opulence without screaming for attention. This is for the bookstore owner who sips scotch, or the architect sketching designs late into the night. It's not *exactly* Oud Ispahan, but it captures the same mood, the same feeling. Worth the purchase? Absolutely.

Notes & Nuances

Oud Highness Privezarah opens with a resinous, slightly medicinal jolt of labdanum. It's a commanding entrance. Then, the rose unfurls, deep and velvety, but with a slightly sharper, almost synthetic edge compared to Dior's Oud Ispahan. The patchouli adds earthiness, while saffron weaves in a subtle spicy warmth. The drydown is where this clone shines, the agarwood accord taking center stage alongside creamy sandalwood and dry cedar. It gets you 90% of the way to Oud Ispahan's luxurious profile. The opening's harshness is the primary divergence.

Projection Power

Projection is moderate for the first two hours, creating a personal but noticeable aura. Longevity is impressive. It lasts a solid 7-8 hours on my skin, settling into a softer, woody-rose whisper. A great performer .
