Not all woods are the same
With Tanoke 07 by Odin it's one of those things. Lately I had acquired everything I wanted to acquire, I only had one fragrance left to sell and on the one hand I was happy with the status quo of my collection, on the other hand the restless and searching soul of a perfume came to the surface and demanded new material. So I ordered somewhere between 40-50 samples of which some nice fragrances were actually only a few hits. Two of them were eliminated because Habit Rouge is no longer produced as EdC and I own the EdP, Arborist was too close to other fragrances and too realist. The third remained, who was considered the most promising of the triumvirate in my eyes.
A brief outline of the name begins: "Tanoke is inspired by a tree formation that extends along the Pacific coast of Northern California in the middle of a sequoia forest So the direction of the fragrance is clear and promising.
I had prepared the text up to here in anticipation of testing this fragrance more thoroughly after the first very famous test. I had even already selected a source of supply. But it turned out differently. Tanoke is objectively a fine fragrance but with time a note shone which subjectively was not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, I'd like to introduce this fragrance to you, because for all friends of woods in the bottle, this one is worth a try.
The fragrance starts immediately woody, the sequoia is advancing. It starts off fantastically, I thought to myself. Then pepper is added for the peppery note and the bitter orange refreshes the fragrance. But this is done in moderation because the ginger dulls it a bit. It is very aromatic and therefore the ginger drives the fragrance here. At some point here I noticed that the ginger spoils the scent a bit. Pure resinous scents, pure ethereal coniferous forests, I appreciate that. In combination with the ginger, even that becomes too aromatic for me.
Sure, even the guaiac wood plays a part in this. It is balsamic-sweet by nature and that is something I personally don't like either, if this note is too noticeable. For me, even the incense, which is quite present, doesn't tear out anything. It tries to weave a smoky, resinous coat around the fragrance, but it may not succeed. The guaiac tree, called the tree of life, constantly penetrates it. Those who like it are surely right here, especially as one has to classify the "sweetness": it is more so that the resin or oil that creates the forest spiritually, does not produce ethereal and cool vapours but according to the habitat of the tree we rather follow the warming sun through the treetops its daily course and let our thoughts run free and completely enraptured. Here in Northern California, the forests smell different: warmer, warmer, more cordial and so it is only fair that this is manifested olfactorically in the sweet note.
Now Tanoke 07 accompanies us for quite a while and even though I'm out here myself, I have to acknowledge that Odin has configured this movement very finely. Objectively everything harmonizes, objectively it's a fragrance to dream about. If you have your eye on warm forest scents, this is the right place.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't know whether Tanoke 07 would have been a candidate for purchase without these facets that strengthen me. Without them, it might just be one of many forest scents and I already have a few of them.
I thank Serafina for making this spiritual journey to California possible for me!
