No Grizzlies
Pear blossom? Uh, I would have guessed pear straight away, and a rather tipsy one at that. With blurred boundaries to an overripe peach; everything gently smoky. Quickly, a white floral note emerges, which may be intentionally a bit unclear or nebulous, in any case, it doesn't come across solely as "orangey" and/or "jasmine-like." Diffuse. Rather feminine.

And by that, I certainly do not mean the kind of lady who stands at the bar, downs a shot, burps heartily, and then goes off to beat up grizzlies. The supposed whisky notes do not "work" for me. Once again - I am not surprised or even disappointed that I perceive little of it; instead, I would have merely said that the fruity stuff seems slightly fermented; see above. Come to think of it, it also bears a certain resemblance to the smell of the remnants of our yellow wild plum after a few days of lying in the sun. Good thing no grizzlies have been spotted in our street so far, who could indulge in such things. The white floral aspect gives the whole thing a creamy touch, which foreshadows the further development.

Gradually, more than an hour has passed, and the old compote should settle down. And - as if it heard me - indeed, throughout the morning, a sweetly heavy, thus largely unstrict jasmine note (similar to that in TDC's "Jasmin de Nuit") gains weight and gradually pushes the fruit to the side. This allows for a seamless argument that leans even more towards the feminine.

Around noon, a bit of a creamy-resinous aspect forms, but initially, it hardly measures up to the jasmine. Only after about five hours, and then into the evening, do I feel I can concede more in that regard. In style (not as a twin!), I now involuntarily think of L'Artisan's Séville à l'Aube, which is a poem of white flowers and hints of amber. Or at least it was - occasionally, there are reports of distorting reformulations at the Siebeneck house. Since I only own older versions, I don't know anything more precise.

Well, since I find the Séville a. F. quite excellent because it suits my wife wonderfully, it is no surprise that I also quite like the second part of Posala. I find the opening, however, less successful.

It should not be overlooked that my wife has unfortunately moved away from the Séville. Therefore, I will not even suggest the Odin to her.

I thank Bartholomeo for the sample.

Early Summer in the Sierra Nevada
I have been meaning to write a comment about this beautiful, rounded fragrance for days now, to fill the gap here. And today I finally succeed!

The name "Posala" comes from the language of the Miwok Indians and means something like "farewell to the spring flowers." A scent for coming of age. Because when the blossoms of spring have faded, the fruits begin to ripen and summer arrives. This fragrance smells rich and rounded, full of natural sweetness and aroma. A juicy peach with characteristically fuzzy skin, fruit trees on the last evening of their full bloom. Astringent floral notes and spicy tobacco give "09 Posala" additional maturity.

Thus, in my imagination, the picture forms of a warm early summer evening in the Sierra Nevada. One sits on the porch - or in front of the tent - breathing in the scent of nature. One or another stuffs a pipe. Lets a drop of whiskey trickle down their dry throat. No one says a word. No one needs a word.

Strong peach note on weaker floral tones and a spicy, more woody than amber base. Quite conventional for Odin standards.

Fruity-floral with fermented peach, strong sweetness. Feels trivial. You can find it in any drugstore in a less overpowering form for much cheaper.

Pear-peach balancing sweet and fresh fruity, with a hint of spicy booze. Lacks its own character, overall much simpler than expected.

Fresh, fruity, floral & without a distinct character. That's how creams & shower gels smell, but from a perfume, especially a good one, I expect more.

Sticky fruit puree with a fuzzy note, the opposite of freshness. No thanks, not for me.

A quirky floral-fruity. Peach with a good splash of liquor, orange blossom, and a solid resin finish. I like it.

Squeaky sweet fruit and whiskey notes on a powdery, vanilla-dominant amber are torture for me, and the lovely white flowers don't help at all.

Fruity-powdery-sweet floral peach scent. Good ingredients are well balanced here. A pleasant all-rounder for women.

Fruity peach with a twist, a bit off-kilter and not at all shy. Hic...another whiskey...hic...delicious!

It's all about the peach here. Ripe, sweet, fruity, juicy.
A few flowers and an animalistic note are also present.
