Penhaligon's The Uncompromising Sohan

He is ambitious, intelligent, and clever. Sohan has worked diligently and with talent to establish an influential position on the international stage. His British friends find such things quite tedious, but he understood early on that trade brings prosperity, and after all, everyone has their price, right?

A visionary (and honestly, quite wealthy by now), Sohan was, as they say, in the right place at the right time. He has built his considerable fortune through the trade of extremely rare and expensive gemstones and silk. His business relationships are now all on a friendly level, and Lord George and Lady Blanche are always very pleased to host such a cultured guest. As a good guest, Sohan never arrives empty-handed. After careful consideration, he has brought a very special investment this time: his sister Yasmine.

Of course, one assumes that this perfume is particularly exotic. Surprises always work well when they involve something unknown. And this fragrance has a very special rose note. It is a rather unknown, rare rose that can be found in Alexandria, the Egyptian trading port. This rose is different. It is masculine, has oversized thorns, and radiates a calming power. It knows no shyness (pink pepper) and has a cheerful opening (vetiver). Sandalwood gives it tenderness, and saffron reminds us that love can be hot. And like every oud, this fragrance has something animalistic, profound, and strong.
