Our series of holiday gift posts continues today with some gift ideas for the men, although bear in mind that all of the holiday gift posts have at least one or two masculine and/or unisex items, and for that matter, there are plenty of items below that women might want.
If you missed them, here are links to part 1 (scented body products), part 2 (travel sizes & coffrets), part 3 (more travel sizes & coffrets) and part 4 (home fragrance). Coming up next: solid perfumes.
From Odin, candles in their four unisex fragrances (Sunda, Owari, Century or Petrana). $65 each at Barneys…
In the world of weirdly timed fragrance launches (rich, heavy scents coming out in summer, bright citrus perfumes being released mid-winter), Odin New York 06 Amanu arrives at the perfect time for its hot-weather “character” (light and refreshing). As for 06 Amanu’s name and inspiration…I’m puzzled. Odin New York references the “southern Mediterranean” and “Anatolian soils” in its PR for 06 Amanu, but after searching for connections between “Amanu” and Europe/Turkey (and realizing life is too short for such ‘research’) I could only find the name “Amanu” in a South Pacific context — it’s an atoll in French Polynesia. (I know; who cares? But Amanu, to my nose, does smell more ‘South Seas’ than Turkish.)
06 Amanu includes notes of blood orange, green galbanum, lentisque (mastic), cedar leaf, jasmine sambac, magnolia, amberwood, musk and “live” moss. 06 Amanu starts off with biting citrus and sheer galbanum; the opening is lively and short lived…
Odin New York has launched 06 Amanu, their latest fragrance (they are skipping 05; the last was 04 Petrana)…
