I have a weakness for a good fragrance, and for some reason, my fragrance choices always err on the expensive side like the newest addition to my fragrance collection: Odin New York 09 Posala. Released over two years ago, I must admit, the niche fragrance line was not on my radar. Thankfully, my husband and I both share the same affinity for luxury fragrances, and he also has my scent preference down pact. He made an excellent choice in picking up for me Odin New York 09 Posala.
Posala, which means “Farewell to spring flowers” in Native American describes this fragrance perfectly. Although I began wearing the Odin New York 09 Posala at the start of winter, I can see smell how it makes for the perfect transitional scent from late spring into fall. Posala has top notes of pear blossom and peach, that transform into a warmer, spicier and much deeper scent mid-wear thanks to the bourbon and tobacco notes. Posala then settles at a soft, yet slightly sweet amber. For some reason, mixed with my chemistry I do not get any of the floral components of Posala, which doesn’t bother me.
Odin New York 09 Posala, I’m happy to report is long wearing. I get over 12 hours of wear after spraying it on in the morning. By the time my husband picks me up from the rail, which is close to 7 p.m., my husband can still smell Posala. The sillage (pronounced seeyaz) is good; you cannot smell me from one mile away, but, get a hint of subtle sexiness as I pass. Perfumes, I believe should modestly announce your presence, and not scream it. Thankfully, Posala does the former.
Odin New York 09 Posala, like most Odin fragrances, is a unisex scent, and I can definitely see it being worn by a man, especially due to the tobacco and bourbon vanilla notes. I also believe Posala is the perfect, sophisticated fragrance for a woman in her late 20’s and early 30’s that are into sexy, warm scents for the colder months
Odin New York 09 Posala ($165/ 100ml) is available exclusively at Barney’s New York.

Sounds very nice!
My recent post My December ipsy bag!
It is, Destany.
I wouldn't be bothered by florals not shining through either. This sounds like a very interesting Winter bouquet!
My recent post YSL Blush Volupte Heart of Light in Favorite #5
I'm more of a spice girl so not having the florals come through wasn't a deal breaker. Who knows, it could have just been the way the perfume reacted to my body chemistry.
I buy my Musc Ravageur at Barney's too so I know I must have sampled some of the scents in this line. I go for the dark fragrances myself, and this sounds gorgeous.

Musc Ravageur is one of my faves from Frederic Malle. My husband wears it, and I sometimes steal a spray or two. I also love their L'Eau d'Hiver. What are some of your other favorite scents?
I want to smell this right now!

I really like the fuss-free packaging. I'm more of a spice person as well; most florals are a bit much for me.

Isn't it though! The bottle and the box are good money.
Who doesn't love a good scent? Digging the sleek packaging and how the scent is actually long lasting.
I love the packaging. The fact that it lasts long makes the price worth it.
Ugh! I hate the fact that I'm allergic to perfume because I'm sure I would love this scent. I'm so tired of smelling like Dove unscented soap! lol

Oh man! That sucks. IDK what I'd do if I was allergic to perfume. Is it all or is it just synthetic fragrances?

Thank you. Yeah the packaging is amazing. Too bad I don't have room on my vanity tray for the box.
