A hallucination of Lincoln Square
First there's a punch of rubber, with fumes of blood orange coming off the skin like car exhaust on the highway. Grimy. Then Odile dries down to an acerbic leather with hints of cocoa. You can really wear this one, but you have to give it some time. The longer, the more delicious. I put my wrist up to my mom's nose and she recoiled. "It's not for me," she said, politely. But Odile is so, so pretty and special. I was halfway out of my sample in an hour. The little decants you get have a mixing issue: the top notes (rubber and orange) seem to rise to the top and stick around longer than the heart of the fragrance, a real vintage leather. The full-size is perfectly blended. I haven't yet had the time to see how the full-size ages but I'm looking forward to it. Lovely bottle and a masterful creation. Totally worth it if you can get past the price.
