Bypass the fragrances bottles you see stacked high at department stores like Macy’s or chains like Sephora. This January, resolve to smell better than the neighborhood mall-rats. Trust us, you won’t find your signature fragrance decanting between bottles of Curve or Ck1. Instead, look for scents that are above the ordinary.
For instance, check out the new Odin fragrances, Odin EDT (short for eau de toilette), which are now available at all Odin New York locations including Pas de Deux in the East Village. According to the Odin website, the three unisex EDT’s “represent the family of” several tried-and-true scents including the Oriental (01 Nomad), Citrus (02 Owari), and Chypre (03 Century). You’ll find the full descriptions below the fold. And if the bottles smell as good as these descriptions read, you will not go wrong if you pick up his and his bottles for a scented stocking stuffer surprise. $110 each | Odin NY
ODIN EDT*
01 NOMAD
Under the spice trade routes comes an exotic wealth of rare scents. Nomad attracts rich notes of juniper berries and cedar leaves from the high regions of the Himalayan Mountains with mysterious Palmarosa and spicy black pepper. Lingering in the air is the warmth of tonka beans blended with the sultry seduction of sandalwoods from the West Indian shores.
50ml / 1.7 Fl. Oz.
Price:$110.00
02 OWARI
From the far ends of the earth comes a fragrance transparent in nature. Owari opens up with rare mandarins from the Japanese province of Owari and freshly crushed grapefruit leaves. The heart consists of the intensely vibrant Cubeb pepper and Tonkin musk from the Chinese mountains.
50ml / 1.7 Fl. Oz.
Price:$110.00
03 CENTURY
Inspired by ancient Cypress comes a modern interpretation of the chypre family. Complex in structure but simple in character. Century captivates the senses with silver birch, Cypress and forest mint. Liquid myrrh combines with vetiver, patchouli and moss. Leaving a warm mysterious alchemy of black musk and true amber.
50ml / 1.7 Fl. Oz.
Price:$110.00
*Eau de toilettes are popular because they offer a light scent that won’t linger as long as a Perfume which can include up to 40% perfume extract concentrates.

There really are some great fragrances out there that aren’t in department stores.
Three favorite sites:
Hove (in New Orleans) http://www.hoveparfumeur.com/

I went to smell them because of friend of mine was wearing one and I really liked it. They are understated but have enough character and are pretty sophisticated. 3 is my favorite.
