Launched in 2017 and crafted by Marie Salamagne, The Uncompromising Sohan by Penhaligon's is a bold Oriental Spicy fragrance for men. This composition opens with the spicy warmth of pink pepper and saffron, leading into a heart of rose and labdanum that adds depth and richness. At its core, Laotian oud and vetiver create an earthy, smoky foundation, while sandalwood and amber lend a warm, powdery finish. The metallic and animalic notes add an unexpected edge to the traditional woody base, making it stand out as a truly uncompromising blend.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to ensure that the complex layers unfold properly. The spicy top notes are fleeting but crucial for setting the stage; let them settle before moving on with your day. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than diffused in a large space.
