What do reviewers say about The Uncompromising Sohan and Oud Ispahan?
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
Oud Ispahan is not for the faint of heart. The labdanum opening hits hard and the oud-rose drydown lingers for hours. If you want something subtle, look elsewhere.Oud Ispahan
