Odyssey Candee

Arwo’s review below mine absolutely nails it. I sprayed this on in a store and drove home sniffing it, trying to make up my mind about it and whether or not I liked it enough to buy it. ‘It smells more like some nostalgic experience or memory’ was my one overriding thought. Maybe it helps that I’m of a similar vintage myself but I totally get what Arwo is saying. I don’t know if I’d buy it to wear it out but there is something amazing about this fragrance and there’s something comforting about it too. I’m very much still trying to get my head around it. It's unusual - maybe it also could use a bit more time to resolve itself - and I don't think it deserves the hate it garners. Update: Thank you to (review above this one) VintageUglyTattooMommy. I just went into the same store to test this one again yesterday and the weird notes have continued to smooth out to the extent that it's now far better and a beautiful strawberry. Yeah, that odd nostalgia slant remains but this is good and I may have to get it. IF I do then the cheapest bottle I can find, like Fragnet, as I've sworn off Arabics (I've got a box of 8 Arabic fragrances that are complete duds, non-performers after sitting for many months) . Update: I just had to go buy it and now have it at my side, sniffing it every now and again. It performs well right from the start (batch: 465602 12/2024). Very weird but gorgeous and addicting.

It was love at first spray. It's a feminine scent leaning slightly unisex, and it's really special. It's much more versatile than Burberry Her Elixir, and I absolutely love it. This perfume strikes a great balance between floral and sweet notes. I fell in love with it because of the floral notes that dominate, especially the geranium combined with the strawberry. It's delicious, and I love that it's not cloying at all. It has a subtle musk and caramel touch that I adore. The caramel note reminds me a lot of Odyssey Mandarin Sky (a men's fragrance), and I think it's exquisite. The dry-down smells even better, and it lasts forever on my skin while projecting incredibly well. A colleague told me he could smell my fragrance every time I walked into the sales room and that it smelled really good, which surprised me. It's a scent you can wear all year round, although I'd probably skip it on very hot days.

SHe has become hands down one of my fav scents. I use her a lot for layering or for a bedtime scent. The creaminess blends so nicely with the sweetness, but not overpowering. Cpuld be a I nisex but def leans fem. Some people have mentioned a plasticy note, and it does have something to it, but i enjoy it. Im honestly baffled why people give her hate, shes just lovely.

birthday gift from ana’s mom!!! wasn’t super sure at first because it has that initial alcohol smell, but after a bit it turns into a mature sweet scent that i love and really needed!! the best part is the way it dries down to a musky and tasteful fruit smell, so good. bottle is so cute!!! yumm

I first got my hands on this scent during Beautyworld 2024, and seriously I felt that I was smelling bubblegum and candy floss. It was not really a sweet rush, but more like the sweetness creeps in slowly. For someone who is a die-hard sweet tooth, I simply couldn't resist from purchasing it.

Def not a creamy sweet sugary candee, to my nose it picks up a little woody candied powder, a little mature leaning. Its really lovely! Good for those who dont want the overly sweet cloying fragrances. This is pretty linear, good staying power on clothes but only 2-3hrs on my skin.

It smells so good. I want to bury my face in it. Great balance, I wear it around the house just to experience it. Reminds me of snowcones or icees, bubble gum and cotton candy. There is a very synthetic sweet note that gives me goosebumbs like I’m about to get a huge sugar rush.

Okay when I first smelt this one it reminded me of an initio scent and I couldn’t figure out which one then it finally came to me Psychedelic Love but, with fruity notes and patchouli it’s really good it’s an unique scent

I bought this one thinking it was going to be another juvenile smell, but I’m glad to say I was wrong. It is a fresh sweet smell. It dries down a little musky, but the strawberries makes it nicely.

Gentle mind .. sweet but well rounded ... best thing its not harsh... and the packaging is part of my pink collectables :)

I like this very much especially when it dry down

Smells like car air freshener, in a good way:)

I need to defend this fragrance 😅😂😭 Odyssey Candee isn’t just a fragrance, it’s a full sensory time capsule. On first spritz, it doesn’t evoke typical perfume descriptors like citrus or vanilla as much as it conjures spaces and memories: dimly lit department stores of the ’80s and ’90s, long before the internet became ubiquitous. Places where carpets, not tiles, lined the floors... where the scent of newness, of fresh toys in crisp packaging, newly printed clothing tags, and plastic-wrapped wonders hung in the air like an invisible marquee. For many today, that smell is unfamiliar. Younger generations simply haven’t walked through those aisles. But for someone who has, Candee delivers that exact olfactory imprint. It’s not sugary per se, but it has a synthetic brightness that mimics plastic and fresh materials. There’s a warmth to it, but not the cozy warmth of spice or amber, it’s the warmth of fragrance meeting climate-controlled air, of fluorescent lights flickering overhead, and of possibility before digital saturation reshaped our sensory landscape. In a way, Odyssey Candee feels strangely cyberpunk, not the grimy dystopia of rain soaked alleys or neon drenched darkness. Instead, it’s the pre-internet optimism of a future we imagined through glossy catalogs and crisp store aisles: clean, new, electric, and shimmering with promise. It’s synthetic without feeling artificial, as if the molecules themselves are part memory, part steel, and part pure anticipation. This is not a perfume you wear because everyone else does. You wear it because it reminds you of a world that once felt like the future, a future that was bright, buzzing, and full of new things waiting to be discovered..... But somehow, that future is still yet to be waited for...

from New sample set. Iris? Mr Sketch? Urinal Cake? I like it? More powder, very Iris. Most of the early edges settle quickly. After the Homme White Edition yesterday (a blonde Virginia tobacco for at least a few hours) and Limoni (iicr 20mins-ish of a really great citrus over a light musk) and Femme White Edition (Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine and some other white florals) I'm starting to think of this sample set as a bit of a surprise/random mixer/layering/soliflore thing. Despite seeming a bit linear on their own and occasionally with misleading names/notes (looking at you Candee...) I can see myself having some fun with these.

Slightly off CdG Odeur 53 skincream x (some hypothetical Melanie Martinez burnt plastic doll thing) If there is candy here it's a very neon cyberpunk street "candee" I still don't expect it when I spray it, but my nose keeps going in (at least through the opening while I'm still confused. 20minutes in there are some parallels to the patchouli in Angel or A*Men that start to shed some light on what they might have been trying to do. Edit: Just saw my other recent review; maybe I can detect something Iris-y? This one seems to have settled quite a lot since arrival.

Interesting and unusual scent. Not necessarily giving me Burberry Her vibes though it is somewhat similar. Definitely very heavy on patchouli and strawberry but, just like in most middle eastern fragrances, I also sense some leather. A bit plastic-ish and synthetic leather yet keeping the girliness. Plus the bottle design is super cool, and satisfied with the lasting power. Definitely worth the price.

This is a really nice musky sweet fall scent. I was expecting it to be super sweet like Lattafa Candy or Brittany Spears Candied Fantasy but it's more musky than sweet. The initial spray is fruity, the dry down is amber, musk, and patchouli. Probably not for everyone, but if you're looking for an inexpensive sweet scent with no vanilla, give it a try.

i will nt be surprised if there is a few more candy products out in the market,... i like this one better than Yara Candy because it settled down well on my skin fingers crossed for longevity.. & I hope it stays in summer... too

Burberry her, stronger and modded with better and quality ingredients, the irony of a dupe brand doing the formulation better than the original, what a joke.

Huele muy rico a muñeca como menú o con fresitas es potente a algunas personas les puede parecer artificial pero a mi me encantó tiene excelente calidad
