03 Century

I'm totally with Yourfoxiness on this one. It seriously smells so amazing that it's really hard to pin it down in words. But I will try. I initially approached this line because I was interested in Petrana, but my boyfriend, attracted to what he described as scents clearly aimed at men due to the packaging, started to pick them up and test them too. He sprayed this and I stopped dead. 'Oh my God, which one was that??' It smelled so sweet and woody, with a wonderful resinous depth behind it. He passed me the bottle and I read from a sticker on the bottom the notes and could not understand how this pyramid translated into what I was smelling. 'But it's so sweet!' I kept exclaiming, certain that it was missing something and determined to check Fragrantica after travelling home doused in it and with a paper strip to boot. But here we are and the notes are still the same. I can only conclude that it must be the myrhh giving it that sweetness, as I must qualify, it is definitely a resinous sweetness, in no way sugary, but I took it to be benzoin or maybe even vanilla with woods and resins piled on top. This is astonishingly well blended, you can smell almost all the listed notes in this to one degree or another.The secret star is the mint I think too which is just so perfect and unexpected. Century is deep and mysterious, yet totally wearable and approachable. It's resinous and earthy, sweet and mossy. And what amazes me the most is that I should not like this. Oakmoss is one of my most hated notes, I've never liked myrhh, and chypres are one of my least liked groups. I've long since given up on scents featuring any of these aspects. And then there was Century. And I do love this. Sillage and staying power are totally fantastic too and this is totally unisex IMO. I'm suddenly concerned about the future of oakmoss where I wasn't before! The only problem I will have now is to wrest it away from my boyfriend, who wants it too.

The sharper birch and cypress notes in the opening make this fragrance lean a little to the masculine side of unisex, but that changes by the time the heart notes emerge, where the fragrance softens and sweetens. The patchouli, amber, and myrrh create an intoxicating resinous aura without any sharp edges, while the subtle musk note keeps the fragrance from feeling too sticky or heavy on my skin. Sillage is big in the opening but seems to stay within my personal space on the drydown. Longevity was also good for me. I love woody unisex scents and this one is a real winner for me!

I love those Odin scents and most of them are those special, high end super skin scents. Let me explain: gorgeous, amazing, unique scent that lasts a while but projects almost nothing so very weak sillage this one for instance you need to spray a lot of and it is not going to blast but, you constantly smell this vibrant waft coming to your nose

I was just through thinking how I've enjoyed all the ODIN samples I've tried so far without exception but not one has blown me away yet and I was really hoping Century would be the one to really wow me! I had a sneaking suspicion it wouldn't but that's no attitude to take into a blind fragrance test! Anyway....as I applied Century I was treated to a sweet opening of vanilla, amber and myrrh which set my pulse racing! It's an almost caramelised sweetness but you can tell it has a base firmly rooted in woods...yet it's not very woody in a tradition sense...if that makes sense??? Maybe it's the combination of birch tar, vetiver and patchouli that lend it the quality? I dunno? The mint note is there and comes on after a couple of minutes but it's very soft indeed, no sharp, cold menthol blast more of a hint of creamy peppermint . I found it unpleasant in this middle stage and a bit lacklustre after an opening I perceived as beautiful Century started to turn on me. Now I'm just bored by it, it's still smells good and arguably nicer again as it dries down but strength wise it's very poor I'm lucky to get a couple of hours from it. I will be wearing it again and will update this review if my second wear somehow liberates some magic...but somehow I doubt it. I have to hand it to Century I audibly moaned in a sexual manner when I first smelled it (not many fragrances make that happen!) but it just disappointed thereafter. Like sleeping with a beautiful woman then waking up in the morning and realising she will probably never love you, you have nothing in common, it'll never last! Realising... ultimately you're alone in the world.

first you will feel sweet scent and little smokey the status is creamy and oily after that vetyver combine with previous scent I should say that this fragrance is just sweet other Elements are very poor اولش رایحه وانیل و بوی صمغ مر رو احساس خواهید کرد که بویی شیرین و کمی دودی داره و کمی هم چرب مانند و در نهایت کمی هم خامه ای. همین طورکه ادامه پیدا میکنه شیرین تر هم میشه بعد از مدتی خس خس بهش اضافه میشه که خیلی خیلی ضعیفه و شاید بهتره این عطر رو اینجوری تفسیر کنم که بدردنخورترین عطری هست که تا حالا بو کردم فقط شیرینه در اواخر عمرش بوی سرو و خزه بلوط ، حس میشه و انقدر ضعیفه که باید با دماغ بری تو مچ دستت تا بلکه بوش بیاد پخش رایحش هم خیلی بده جالب تر اینکه قیمتش حدود 500 هزارتومنه
