04 Petrana Odin New York 2010

A perfume brand with the name of a Nordic god from the Edda saga. I was very curious about how the scents are.

My first test candidate: Petrana.

The opening of Petrana is quite fruity with a subtle spicy sharpness. The blackcurrant note is intensified by this.

In the transition to the heart note, one can perceive the heliotrope for a few minutes before the iris spreads out. This iris is clear and rather austere in scent. The violet supports this clear impression and then gradually takes over the scent leadership.

This violet note remains with me until the end of the fragrance. Musk and vetiver give the scent a certain cleanliness but take a backseat to the violet. The result is a noble laundry scent, which is excellent as an office fragrance.

I'm not quite sure about the naming of this fragrance. The only useful thing I could find was a weather forecast for a region in Greece or a small town in Italy. I can't really draw a parallel to the scent.

Those who like iris and violet might find their olfactory salvation here.
