Odyssey Homme White Edition

* Great sweet and fresh modern style of fragrance * Rabanne Invictus and Armani's Acqua di Gio and Stronger With You had a threesome and gave birth to this * Good blend of sweet, citrus, fresh, floral, aquatic, spicy, ambery, powdery and woody aromas * Prominent notes of citrus, lavender, amberwood, cinnamon and pepper * Stands out on its own despite replicating multiple fragrance DNAs * Versatile all season use * Great for younger users * Social occasions standout * Good performance * Cool thermos bottle presentation * Not good for older users * Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances * Not unisex * A little redundant if you have either Invictus or Stronger With You Armaf's Odyssey Homme White Edition is a pretty good sweet and fresh fragrance that combines three popular fragrance DNAs that are instantly recognizable. It has a strong citrus opening that immediately brings up Acqua di Gio, then moves into an aquatic leaning fresh and sweet mid that reminds of Invictus, and then the spices come out in the drydown and reminds of Stronger With You. This is a good blend of sweet, citrus, fresh, floral, aquatic, spicy, ambery, powdery and woody aromas. Standout notes are citrus, lavender, amberwood, cinnamon and pepper spice. This is very much a modern fragrance, which is great or not so great depending on the audience. It's great for younger users and stands out on its own despite replicating many fragrance DNAs, essentially already doing the layering for you. Older users may not appreciate the sweetness. This definitely leans masculine and is not unisex. Performance is very good and it's a standout for social occasions. It can used in all seasons. Love the cool little thermos bottle presentation. Highly recommended, but it may be redundant if you already have Invictus, Stronger With You or reasonable clones thereof.

Highly underrated one and very cheap - price range being around 20 euro It doesn't have high sillage but for this price you are basically paying for more of an intimate smell. Best that I can describe this fragrance (even told my girlfriend so and she agreed with me too) - ''Guy/daddy in his 30's/40's that is dating someone that is 23-25'' - the fragrance is designed in a way that it's not really too manly/grandpa smell but at the same time it isn't JPG Elixir type of youth fragrance where someone wears to school. It's somewhere in the middle ,hence the older guy trying to impress the younger gf. It is an odd type of way to explain the fragrance but it has that ''sexy dna'' to it that you would understand instantly once you spray this on yourself and it will all make sense after,because you won't be wearing this to impress the lady that is 30-40 or older since it's not really as mature but not really a kid fragrance either. I seen others mention that it has similar smell to Stronger with you line but from my opinion it has absolutely no correlation whatsoever. It smells like none of them from the line even. Longevity 3-4 hours at best Sillage 4-5+ Smell 9,2+ Personal rating - 8,5

Indeed there is reminiscence to both Stronger with You and Versace Eros. It carries over powderiness from the original Odyssey, so it is a long stretch to Tom Ford Noir Extreme. I'd never think to myself that I'd find a connecting link between these seemingly so different smells, but this does it. It is good, "inyourfaceness" and projection are a bit weaker than I'd like, again due to that powdery violet note. I cannot detect any Invictus DNA either. Oh wait... Invictus is there! So, to sum up: Odyssey + Stronger with You + Eros + Noir Extreme + a drop of Invictus + a lot of powder = this. One thing I dislike is the performance - it is not a skin scent, but I am getting used to monster performers and projecters lately. Sadly this is not one of them. I will test this in heat to see if it becomes cloying like Stronger with You intensely does. If it doesn't, this will be a perfect summer alternative. People mentioned SWY Freeze, I have not tried that one sadly. Also one of the only two Armaf fragrances with the pencil shaving note afaik (the other one is the og edition of this) Paid $15 for mine.

Armaf Odyssey Homme White Edition is one of those fragrances I keep reaching for without even thinking. It is not a fragrance I wear because I want to analyze every note; I wear it because it simply works. The scent is fresh, creamy, slightly sweet and aromatic, with that clean masculine character that feels polished but still very easy-going. To me, it smells like a fresh shower before going out, but with a smoother, sweeter and more expensive-smelling finish. It has that “well dressed without trying too hard” vibe. This is exactly the type of fragrance you grab when you do not know what to wear, but you still want to smell really good. The price is excellent, and the performance is honestly very good. It lasts well on my skin, projects nicely and it is noticeable enough to get compliments without becoming annoying. I have received compliments with this one several times, which says a lot. For me, this is easily one of the safest blind buys there is.

For me, Odyssey Homme White is warmth in a bottle. It’s smooth, creamy, and very approachable. It doesn't scream at you like some other sweet fragrances tend to do. It’s almost like a perfect combination of fresh citrusy notes with some violet, but even in the opening, you can already smell that warm amber base. I love wearing this in the evening because it smells so cosy. It almost leans towards a gourmand scent, but it stays subtle. Definitely one of my favorite Odyssey fragrances so far. The longevity is solid. For the first hour it projects well, and after that, it becomes more intimate. I can still smell it on my skin all day. Great pick if you want something sweet but classy!
