The Uncompromising Sohan

The Uncompromising Sohan from the British house Penhaligon's, released in 2017, is a dark, spicy woody oud. Wood leads, with spice strongly present and floral and resinous touches.

Its notes are listed as one blend. Pink pepper and saffron give a warm, leathery, slightly sparkling spice at the start. Rose adds a rich, velvety floral note, a classic partner for oud. Laotian oud brings a deep, resinous, smoky woodiness, sandalwood a creamy smoothness, vetiver an earthy dryness and labdanum a balsamic, ambery warmth that rounds out the darker notes.

Its rich oud, rose and spice suit cold weather and evening wear. It is a natural choice for formal dinners and special occasions, applied with a light hand, and it will appeal to someone who enjoys a confident, traditional rose-and-oud composition with a dry, woody finish.
