A modern journey to the land of Chypre
History
Evocative of Ancient Chypre (Cyprus, in French), Century is a scent that was dreamt up by the NY-based concept store Odin. In Nordic mythology, Odin is the god of victory and knowledge. Century is a modern reinterpretation of the chypre accord. This woody-chypre fragrance takes you on a voyage deep into the past. The fragrance is like a ‘cape scented with modernism and mystery’.
Range
Eau de Toilette 3.4 oz.
Bottle
The square, smoky-glass Century bottle reveals an amber-hued juice and is topped with a round black cap. Set in a stunning package, the bottle nestles like a jewel in black foam rubber. The name of the fragrance is engraved in a darker shade of black in the bottom-right corner of the bottle.

I can appreciate a modern chypre scent. Birch makes me curious. It is appropriate for NY.

Un parfum incroyable, très "boisé sec", qui ne laisse pas indifférent... Rare, donc précieux.
