    This is the oud that rose lovers didn't see coming. Most masculine orientals bury their florals under wood and resin, Barrel doesn't. The rose isn't garnish. It's structural.Barrel
    Sohan's opening is prettier than you expect, but the drydown makes its intentions clear. If you want something that whispers, look elsewhere. This one knows its value and waits for you to catch up.The Uncompromising Sohan
