  A work of art that has it all: trail, longevity, and elegance.

  It reminds me very much of Enigma Parfum Cologne in its dry down. Coca-Cola with an overdose of sweetness. A castle-like perfume.

  Great perfume… A balanced animalic perfume (I like those perfumes); the oud at its maximum power is elegant, I feel the rose lightly (and how good that is, as I don’t like it at all), and a balanced vetiver, a fresh forest grass… Yes, it is an olfactory experience… It is predominantly oud and balanced animalic, suitable for formal events and winter.

  Brutal perfume. Oud at full volume, elegant, mixed with an animal note that I absolutely love. The rose is subtle, which is a plus as I’m not a fan of strong florals. The vetiver smells like fresh forest grass. It’s a complete olfactory experience. The oud and that balanced animal touch dominate. Ideal for formal events and winter.

  A luxurious oriental composition. The oud is perfectly dosed, marking class and experience. However, the dry-down didn’t sit well with me; when it settles on the skin, it smells like urine with woods, a disagreeable scent. But bear in mind, it’s only the end. The rest is a super long-lasting jewel.

  Exquisite oriental composition, a perfectly balanced oud that denotes class, authority, and experience. The final phase of the fragrance did not please me, but the entire life of the fragrance is a gem; only the last hours, where it clings to the skin, gave me a slightly unpleasant smell, like urine with woods, but beware, it is only the end; the whole fragrance is a super long-lasting gem.

  In 2018, I was backpacking in Rome, entering niche perfumeries with not a penny in my wallet. I walked into one near Plaza España. The boy attending asked if I was looking for something. I said I was just having a look. He probably saw my backpack and knew I wasn’t there to buy fragrances, but he still asked about my favourite perfumes. At that moment, I told him I liked Tom Ford’s Oud Wood. He began to tell me that at some point in history, men’s perfumes sought to smell ‘strong and animalic’ and not ‘clean, like lavender’. And at that moment, he brought out Sohan to tell me that this perfume was inspired by that idea. At that time, my reference was Oud Wood, so obviously Sohan seemed like a wild ride to me. The oud-rose combo, but with saffron and pink pepper, builds a spiced perfume, not as powdery as Oud Ispahan, a bit more challenging. Moreover, it must contain some cumin, because there is a point where it smells of sweat. At that moment, I thought ‘this is a monster’. I thanked him for his attention, but told him I wasn’t prepared to buy the fragrance. The boy kindly gave me a decant, which I kept for years, until I could finally buy a bottle. Today it is my quintessential elegant perfume. P.S. Watch out for white clothes, as the juice is concentrated and stains everything.

  Call me crazy, but the moment I smell it, I realise it follows the same line as Oud Touch by Frank Olivier… I am stunned… I cannot find any wild point about it. It leans towards those fruity-ouds, almost powdery or effervescent…

  It smells literally like an old casino. It is quite strong, woody, and the labdanum with vetiver is very pronounced; I would not recommend it if you are under thirty-five.

  What a pity they discontinued this little gem. Fortunately, I managed to buy the last available bottle at the perfumerie. An aroma following the rose-oud archetype; if you know Oud Palao, Blessing Silence by The House of Oud, Jupiter by Electimuss, and others, it follows the same path, but with a difference, thanks to a touch of cumin (an undeclared note) or a note of sweat, which gives it a more animalic and sexualised touch. A blend of saffron, labdanum, and Laotian oud, which, without a doubt, is what most disturbed and exhilarated me in my entire perfume collection with the rose-oud combo. Wow! Oh my gosh!!! It lasts approximately fifteen minutes before settling into a more familiar archetype, letting the rose, pepper, and sandalwood emerge, becoming slightly creamier and sweeter, yet without losing that wonderful oud note that gives it a mysterious and dry character. A mature, elegant, mysterious perfume that you can wear when you feel the need to dress up and make yourself feel it. It is unisex, for people over thirty, very versatile, except in extreme heat. With correct longevity and projection, without being overwhelming, you can perceive it for 10 hours applying five sprays. In summary, it is my gem of the rose-oud combo. Scent: 10/10 Trail: 8/10 Projection: 8/10 Longevity: 9/10

  Sohan is neither a compliant oud nor a decorative rose. This is dark spice, fleshy rose, and burning amber, crafted with firm elegance and no concessions. The opening is intense and spicy, with a warm, fairly peppery character that marks from the very first second. As it dries, a deep, mature, softly powdery rose emerges—perhaps romantic, leaning more towards a resinous veil than a fresh petal. This rose blends with a dark, dry, well-worked oud, free from exaggerated animalic notes or medicinal harshness. The heart becomes increasingly ambered and enveloping, with an almost incense-like, warm, and luxurious sensation, while the base maintains a solid, persistent, and refined presence. There is no easy sweetness or attempt to please everyone: Sohan is serious, intense, and impeccably dressed. It is an opulent yet contained perfume, ideal for those who enjoy deep oriental fragrances with weight, presence, and a clear masculine identity without excess… but let me warn you, this is the only Panthalogon’s in the collection that is by no means subtle. It is not for casual use or hot climates; it demands night, a coat, and attitude. One of the most solid and elegant proposals within the Portraits collection when seeking dark, refined vibes of spice, rose, and oud.

  Sohan is not a compliant oud nor a decorative rose. It is dark spice, fleshy rose, and burning amber, with a firm elegance. The opening is intense, warm, and spicy, impacting from the very first second. As it dries, the rose becomes deep and mature, almost resinous, fusing with a dry, well-worked oud without any harshness. The heart is ambered, incensed, and luxurious, while the base is solid and persistent. There is no easy sweetness: Sohan is serious, intense, and impeccably dressed. It is opulent yet restrained, ideal for those seeking deep oriental fragrances with weight and masculine presence. It is the only one in the Portraits collection that isn’t subtle. Not for casual use or heat; it demands night, a coat, and attitude. One of the most solid and elegant proposals.
