Odin is my favourite perfume house. So introverted fragrances! never steretypical or experimental. The secret to me lyies in the ingredients (along carner Barcelona). They pick ingredients from very special places or species which give personality to the apparent simple pyramid.This is such a heavywight oud coloumn, potent and opulent, nevertheless not cloying or overpowering. To my nose this scent is more about blackcurrant and oud rather than cassis and rose. Opening is a very jammy berry, not sweet almost macerated one, pepper and coriander, slightly oriental but with a lot of carachter. Then after half hour within the previous omnipresent notes the flowers start to bloom! I reach more to sambac than rose, maybe because of the berries it comes more out. Not so much the rose. And eventually remains this incredibly creamy and sweet oud with lily of the valley. So relaxing! Not a perfume for all, it could be a touch too sweet for some people. however as usual with Odin it is straight the middle unisex. I love it! so passionate and dark scent, more to the autumnal and evening. You'll get noticed in the best possible way. Sillage is very good and projection is just perfect. Not too little and not too much. Pity the marketing and production of this is basically non-existing but for the lucky ones who have or sample it it's a treat!

I disagree. This is quite beautiful. A soft oud? Outstanding. Jammy current & rose. Earthy oud & cassis.

This is as far from typical rose-oud combo as it could be. First 2 hours it smell mostly as something that isn't listed in scent pyramid at all... Lilac! big bush of strange lilac with black currant berries, cassis liefs, and occasional jasmine flowers. As perfect for ladies as unacceptable for men. Projection and sillage first 2 hours is heavy, first hour maybe even borderline enormous. At 3rd hour lilac-jasmine disappears completely (along with projection and sillage) and creamy and soft oud arrives with hint of rose mile away. At this stage scent is perfectly unisex... Too bad by 4th hour it is skin scent. For mentioned reasons, it is definitely pass for men, but could be great for ladies.

This feels like the platonic ideal of a niche woody-floral; it's a "signature scent" for someone with presence. It's not a quintessential rose oud, but it's a thoughtful balance of floral, woody, sweet, and powdery notes. There's a bit of animalic, but in the most approachable way possible, adding just a touch of warmth. The cassis adds the slightest note of fruity sweetness. It's not groundbreaking or wildly unique, but I can't imagine anything more welcomingly deep and lovely. Unlike most Odin unisex scents which lean quite masculine, it's truly unisex.

I love this one but can’t describe it. it is evocative of autumn... definitely for her
