One that seduces ...
Odin is a very young perfume brand: the oldest composition dates back to 2009, the newest to 2014.
The fragrances come from NY and are created by various well-known perfumers such as: Kevin Verspoor, Pierre Constantin Gueros, Jean-Claude Delville, Philippe Romano, Jean-Claude Deville, Delphine Jelk, and Corinne Cachen.

These fragrance creations are presented as unisex, and I also read about the brand on a German perfume site that the naming is heavily inspired by Greece and its culture and history.
That confuses me a bit ... ;-) After all, Odin is the chief god in Norse mythology of the Eddic poetry. There he acts as the father of the gods, god of war and death, as a god of poetry and runes, of magic and ecstasy with distinctly demonic-shamanistic traits, and in my opinion has not much to do with Greek gods .....

Be that as it may! :-) I don’t like the name anyway and find it quite pretentious!

But it’s all about the content, and that is truly remarkable, remarkably good!

No 6 by Odin - Anamu (again a name that, in my opinion, suggests something misleading, namely a tropical atoll in the southeast of the Tuamotu archipelago, which belongs to French Polynesia.)

Here, aromas of blood orange, jasmine, magnolia, amber, galbanum, mastic resin, amberwood, moss, musk, and cedar leaf unite into a unique composition.

The scent comes warm and harmonious, green galbanum combines with mastic, the woody rusticity of cedar leaves and the interesting complexity of Arabian jasmine blend together. I don’t sense magnolia, but rather the blood orange that winds around amberwood, moss, and musk, developing softly and always remaining very understated in the foreground.

The scent is in no way sweet; I perceive it as autumn and winter-heavy (although it can also be worn very well in spring and summer, as for example Fahrenheit by Dior) and clearly masculine; on a man’s skin, it appears elegant, captivating, and irresistible.
In a word, absolutely seductive! :-)

I see and hear here that it is rated lower due to its proud price of €130 to €140, which I find unfair; firstly, the ingredients vary in cost, the real ones often cost a fortune (when clearly synthetic ones are used, the scent is significantly cheaper). There are Mercedes and there are, for example, Skoda (which I drove very happily for 13 years), but clearly, these are two different classes, and so it is with perfumes.

Interesting and Quite Different
Since I received the sample of "06 Amanu" from Angua and was initially a bit hesitant because of the jasmine and magnolia, I then pondered: Should I write a comment or not? I perceive something different than they do.
I first tested "Amanu" without looking it up here, without calling up the scent.
And after calling it up, I was astonished.
Well, then I read other comments first - dummdidumm - should I, how does that look?
Then I went to Wiki and searched for the term: "Amanu" is a Polynesian atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Aha!
However, how often do others perceive scents differently than I do, and it doesn't bother me at all. The reverse is just as true.
First of all: "Amanu" is a beautiful and interesting scent for me!
It starts citrusy fresh with the lovely soft, slightly nutty mastic note, and the bark of the pistachio tree adds the balm. I also smell a light lemon balm note. The entire scent is bright green, resinous-citrusy-balsamic for me.
A spring and summer fragrance, a scent for sunshine, palm trees, beach. Or at least to dream of it. There are also subtly, only hinted, light floral notes, very lovely.
I do not perceive any jasmine with its intrusiveness at all. How pleasant. Magnolias as a scent have also disappointed me before, but here I do not smell them. Unless there is a variety that smells like beautiful bright green aromatic leaves.
Because the mention of "cedar leaves" is rather amusing. Cedars are coniferous trees. Of course, one can also refer to the needles of coniferous trees as "leaves." But then they would still have to smell like coniferous trees. I do not perceive that resinous scent either. Only that of the mastic.
And I believe I perceive galbanum with its slight rubbery sharpness.
The longevity is mediocre, the sillage is close to the body.
As I perceive "06 Amanu," it is a unisex scent.

Morning dew on a flower meadow. The tickle of grass under my bare feet. Green-floral freshness and a delicious lemon dessert.

Galbanum with an aquatic touch, thick blood orange. Less zesty than expected, more of an amber-old school spicy blend.

Niche goes mainstream. This is such an uncomplicated, nice, rounded, soft, and everyday scent that it almost seems boring.

The wallflower that no one sees until someone picks it and holds a treasure in their hands. Green, fresh, spicy, clear, bright & pure. 100%

A beautifully harmonious green freshness without sweetness
Like many of Odin's, it has no major evolution, but offers smooth understatement.

A citrus-fresh scent with a distinct mastic note and a cedarwood base. A fine business fragrance for warm days, also for women.

Like UNTITLED, it's subtle with a rather woody-warm base. Soft, delicate, elegant.

Exciting & herb-fresh, love it. But am I the only one who smells fresh paprika here? Can someone tell me which note I'm confusing it with?

A very nice fresh-green, unsweet hint of airy citrus with a subtle melancholy, light and easy to wear.

Green-fresh-spicy all-rounder, alternative to Lentisque/Phaedon or Untitled L'Eau/MMM .. H/S only in the middle field .. subtle and unisex. Good!
