Our take

Soho opens with a bright, almost tart burst of sweet orange and petitgrain, the cassis adding a jammy edge that feels like a freshly cracked bottle of fancy soda. That citrusy fizz quickly softens into a powdery floral heart, where orange blossom and jasmine get dusted with orris root, turning the composition from juicy to genteel. The drydown settles into a walk through a damp city park after a spring shower, moss and cedar underfoot with a whisper of vetiver anchoring the amber-sweetened base.

The overall character is a floral cravat on a linen shirt, a sophisticated but not stuffy blend that leans synthetic in the best way, like a well-mixed cocktail rather than a garden. It feels mainstream in its accessibility but niche in its refusal to shout, which explains the middling sillage and longevity. You get about four hours before it becomes a skin scent, and the projection never bulldozes a room. This suits the person who wants a polite but memorable signature, something for a daytime brunch or a first date where you don't want to overwhelm. Skip it if you crave beast mode projection or a dark, brooding leather. It’s a portrait of a city block that smells like money and fresh flowers, but it forgets to pack a punch for the evening commute.
