Odin New York
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pink pepper crackles across your skin with an almost peppery bite, immediately joined by blackcurrant's tart darkness and coriander's slightly lemony warmth. The effect is refreshingly discordant, nothing soft or immediately welcoming—instead you're hit with an aromatic snap that makes you sit up and pay attention.
The floral heart emerges gradually, violet leaf absolute providing a green, slightly mineral coolness whilst heliotrope adds creamy sweetness without drowning everything in almond powder. Black iris deepens the composition, contributing earthy, slightly animalic shadows that prevent the florals from drifting toward prettiness or feminine convention.
Vetiver and orris root take centre stage, creating a woody-earthy foundation with subtle white musk providing a skin-like softness rather than obvious projection. The fragrance becomes intimate and linear here, the peppery brightness faded almost entirely, leaving you with a green-tinged, slightly dusty dryness that lingers quietly on the skin.
Petrana arrives as a peculiar collision between a spice merchant's stall and a violet-strewn garden, refusing to settle into conventional florality. The blackcurrant and pink pepper duo creates an immediate tartness—almost savoury in its sharpness—that destabilises any expectation of a gentle floral. This isn't a fragrance that genuflects to prettiness; instead, it asserts itself through a slightly austere temperament, as though channelling the mineral coolness of iris and violet leaf absolute through a filter of coriander's lemony spice.
What makes Petrana genuinely compelling is how it sidesteps the saccharine trap of heliotrope. Rather than amplifying its powdery almond sweetness, the fragrance treats it as a binding agent, using it to gently bridge the peppery top notes into the earthy vetiver and orris root base. The violet leaf absolute contributes a green, slightly metallic edge that prevents any cloying accumulation. Black iris enters like a whispered counterpoint—darker, more resinous than typical iris interpretations.
