glittering gold smoke

smoke, golden spicy light smoke, like when sun filters through fog
a smoke without sacred sounds: rather fresh, cool , woody
dry wood, dark cool evening wind.
moss seems to smell in the background.
it stays light, transparent and modern.

like a young, freshly showered woman hastily slipping over her coat, in which fine clouds of smoke still hang from the evening before, as they sat singing by the campfire...and step out into the clear cold summer morning...

Platonic Woods

This is perhaps the easiest to enjoy from the first five Omer creations in his Pekji brand. The author is very clear to his intentions with odoon: a Platonic representation of a woody aroma, that is, the soul of a wood. Thus, its smell is unadorned, basic, simple yet complex at the same time. What in general serves as support structure, both in nature and in perfumery, here is the main star of the composition.

Odoon develops just as Cuir6, in a kind of notes gradient scale that would be considered the base notes in a creation. Omer made it to be a wood scent where everyy one has a different experience about its smell. Mine is related to some key woody aromas that unfold in two phases for me.

In the first phase, I mainly detect the smell of sandalwood and cypress. The cypress for me has something woody and green, a medium moist aroma, as if the tree was still drying after the rain. Soon after it appears a first sandalwood aroma step, which seems an Australian variety, having a dry aura and which resembles cedar.

Once you pass this phase, which here acts as an entrance, i start to observe an interesting transition chord. It brings me the smell of wood chips, as if they were being cut in a sawmill and theirs powder smell permeated the air. Once this impression passes, I get the mineral part and abstract Cedar impression of iso and super, which forms a pleasant and well recognizable aura. Mixed with it i smell a second scent of sandalwood, with a creamy and salty nuance that what brings me to the mind a peanuts aroma (which can be found in another context in Bois Farine of L'Artisan).

Although Odoon is not one of my favorites, is certainly a fine perfume in its complex simplicity. Its theme is more related to the male audience than female, but I think the dominance of iso and super base can make it work for both. It Achieves what it sets out to do with a calibrated tune and components that seem to have quality.

Balanced woody/peppery/resinous/spicy/sweet blend, a winter gem

Sampling Pekji Odoon, a dry but semi-sweet woody and resinous blend consisting of pepper, a strong mix of woods (ash, cedar, guaiac, pine, sandalwood), vanilla, and notable resinous presence, not specified much beyond that, but perhaps a mix of benzoin and labdanum—a little sweet, and little smoky with the vanilla. It does not feel overloaded in any one aspect—woody, spicy, resinous, or sweet—but rather, a quite effective balance of all of these elements. It feels well-rounded and complete, well-thought-out to the point that I think lots of people could enjoy this, particularly in the winter, and it does not smell too much like any other fragrance, at least that comes to mind now, in that it’s less resinous or vanilla-laden than numerous other options, and the particular blend of woods plays really nice with the pepper to have a sort of genuine outdoor feel that’s nonetheless brought indoors a bit by the vanilla.

This is certainly my favorite of the line so far (I still need to try two others in the discovery set of 5 that I bought from Luckyscent, however), a cool weather gem that performs well, also. Like the rest of the line, Odoon is priced at $165 for 50ml, in extrait concentration, and is sold in the US at Luckyscent and a few other boutiques like ZGO. I think the value is very good here, as Odoon could be worn frequently or occasionally and has that quality of being a potentially everyday scent that also smells special, something I feel that stems from Creed Spice and Wood, perhaps a lighter, less complex comp, even, while we’re on the subject.

Very heavy on the oak

To me, this is an oak fragrance, with hints of other woods and resins. My skin pushes the oak note, so that may be why. I get heavy oak with ash and smoke, then nuances of pine and resins. It's not nearly as smokey as Bois d'Ascese by Naomi Goodsir, it's a different kind of smoke. Not a bad scent, but not a full bottle one for me due to the oak.

Woodiest Wood

As the name suggests meaning “wood” in turkish , this is really the epitome of wood in liquid form. But we’re not talking woody in the sense of the usual description you can find in the departament store fragrances, this is more like freshly cut wood,left a couple of days outside and then came to take a smell outside your cozy cabin. In the drydown you”ll get a little bit of sweetness ,but never cloyingly or edible. Best in autumn , winter and those spring rainy days.
