The Five Fragrances of 2011 You Should Remember

Here we are, waiting for 2011 to end and anticipating all that 2012 will bring. As I reflect on what has occurred, I’m reminded of how blessed I am. Another year of good health and family is enough but 2011 also gave me a chance to spread my fragrant wings and for that, I’m grateful. Thank you Complex, Men’s Health and Antenna magazines for allowing me to share my views with your readers. (The Winter issue of Antenna recently came out and will be posted in the coming days.)

Odin Launches Candle Collection

Odin Candle Collection

The Odin crew of Paul Birardi, Eddy Chai, Larry Paul or Kelly Kovack has made the jump into home fragrances. This inaugural collection of scented candles matches their unisex fragrances of 01 Sunda, 02 Owari, 03 Century, and 04 Petrana. Continue reading

04 Petrana by Odin

Paul Birardi and Eddy Chai, co-owners of Odin New York, and Larry Paul and Kelly Kovack of Purpose Built have once again partnered for the release of 04 Petrana. It continues the unisex theme of the three fragrances previously launched as well as identical packaging, kudos to them for that. I love when packaging begs to be displayed.

While the first three fragrances in Odin’s collection, 01 Nomad, 02 Owari and 03 Century were inspired by the mountains of the Himalayas, 04 Petrana takes its cue from the desert of Jordan. And like the vast swings in temperature in the desert, 04 Petrana runs from a cool, sweet and spicy opening to a warm and earthy dry down that pleasantly reveals a bit of leather. My initial reactions had me asking myself is it to sweet and feminine but I was also drawn to the contrast of the peppery notes. The two playing together, sometimes fighting each other makes it irresistible.

04 Petrana’s top notes include purple cassis, pink pepper, and herbaceous coriander. Its middle notes comprise black iris, violet leaf absolute and garden heliotrope. The base notes include wild orris, earthy vetiver and white musk.

Retail price $110 for 3/4 fl oz.
