08 Seylon, from Odin was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is Philippe Romano. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Yuzu, middle notes of Elemi, Nutmeg, and Wormwood, and base notes of Benzoin, Oakmoss, and Vetiver.
Seylon from ODIN opens with citrus and a bitter orange which remains throughout. The vetiver comes on after the settling few seconds and it's a slightly smoky earthy texture with a definite hint of nutmeg. When everything settles finally the vetiver becomes very clean and woody with oakmoss and the warmth of benzoin too but with an almost powdery feel. It's a very good interpretation of vetiver nothing jarring or cloying, no intrusive top notes and the drydown only improves the overall smell. ODIN continue to impress me with their repertoire of fragrances, their signature seems to be warmth and balance. I'd wear ODIN 08 Seylon but I'm not crazy about it, if you like scents like Tom Fords Grey vetiver you will like this one.
