The Uncompromising Sohan

Floral · Sweet · Spicy
Penhaligon's The Uncompromising Sohan is a masculine oriental that joins a floral, spicy opening to a smoky, resinous oud base; it has been discontinued.
It opens with rosebud, saffron and pink pepper, where the floral side is sharpened by spice. Vetiver and labdanum absolute form the heart, and Laotian oud with sandalwood leaves a woody, animalic, sweet warmth underneath.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer a distant last, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most see it as masculine and classic. Comme des Garçons Floriental and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
