Odyssey Spectra

I've got sufficient enough a collection, now, that I could, if I wanted, wear a different fragrance to work, every evening. At one point, I actually was doing that, prided myself that I could flex like that. But, it turned into more of a hassle than it was worth, trying to remember what I wore most recently, and, not be redundant. So, eventually, I settled into selecting a fragrance for the week. This week's big winner was, obviously, Odyssey Spectra Rainbow. I knew that it smelled decently good. I trust my own judgement, at least that much. But, every now & then, it's nice to receive some affirmation from unexpected sources, too. So, I work Security at a condo-building, where a lot of fairly-wealthy, retirement-aged individuals reside. There's one guy, a high-dollar attorney, who took me up & showed me his Tom Ford collection -- huge bottles, some of them discontinued, owns just about every one of them -- who's now beginning to expand into the brand, Initio. I mention him, just to illustrate that, even though, I know that I'm smelling quite well, I'm well aware that these aren't the folks that I'm gonna be impressing with my dupes, quite so much...not when they, more than likely, own the expensive OG, if it's something that they're impressed with. Long story short: last night, one of the most attractive, classy women there had been out, had a couple of beverages, was feeling quite talkative, friendly. During the course of our talking, she just blurted out, "why do you always smell so good?" She's the type of woman that you would most desire to have taken notice of you, for any reason whatsoever, but, that it was partially because of the fragrance I was wearing, and, that fragrance happened to be Odyssey Spectra Rainbow, well,...I'M SHOUTING IT OUT!

* Beautiful fresh/gourmand hybrid fragrance * Close clone of JPG Ultra Male * Actually distinguishes itself from both Ultra Male and 9 PM * Great blend of sweet, spicy, vanilla, amber, fruity, floral, tobacco, powdery and musky aromas. * Prominent notes of apple, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, lavender and fresh patchouli musk * Good performer * Great for gourmand lovers * Great for younger male users * Cool and colorful "thermos" bottle presentation * Not good for older users who dislike sweet fragrances * Not unisex * Ton of similar original and clone competition on the market * Redundant if you already own Ultra Male or 9 PM or Ramz Armaf's Odyssey Spectra is a flanker in their Odyssey line which replicates and plays with popular designer fragrance DNAs. One spray and you'll instantly recognize this is a play on JPG's runaway hit Ultra Male and Afnan's equally successful clone 9 PM and even Lattafa's Ramz Silver, though it does actually do a good job distinguishing itself. This is a great blend of sweet, spicy, vanilla, amber, fruity, floral, tobacco, powdery and musky aromas. You'll find prominent notes of apple, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, lavender and fresh patchouli musk. The final product performs very well and younger male users who are gourmand lovers will love this. Older users who dislike sweet fragrances should avoid. Recommended unless you already own Ultra Male or 9 PM or Ramz Silver, in which case it might feel redundant.

I always macerate my fragrances upon arrival -- give 'em a couple spritzes, then, hopefully, have the will-power to sit it down for a month or so, see what it's like afterward. So, this was my first time wearing Odyssey Spectra out anywhere, since I received it, little over a month ago. Now, mind you, I do trust my nose, as far as it giving me a general idea about the scent I'm wearing, and, after spraying it on, I was relatively certain that I was wearing something quite nice, indeed. Skip ahead...I'm at the store shopping, going up & down the aisles, like one does. I passed this one woman, and, as I was about to turn to the next aisle, she turned around and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, but, I just HAVE TO know what that is you're wearing. It is SO good!" She explained that her son is "into colognes", and, that she just was gonna HAVE TO purchase it for him. So, I'm not one of those people who's going to throw that out there, like, "oh, it's a compliment BEAST", or, any propaganda like that, but, reality is what it is, and, in my estimation, both your nose AND those who come in contact with you will feel as though your effort at presenting yourself in your best light has been pleasantly successful.

This smells beautiful. Words cannot describe how great this smells. It has this sweet vanilla paired up with the warm cinammon and the citrusy bergamot at the start and dries to this beautiful tonka bean and hint of amber and tobacco while the vanilla is still very much prominent. I cant believe Im saying this but it genuinely smells better than the original JPG ultramale. It is long lasting 8hrs+ with strong projection. I feel this can be worn all year round but Im not sure about hot summer days. Definitely a great date scent, I am sure the ladies will dig this. I would rate this a 9.5/10. This is the best perfume in my collection so far.

It's JPG Ultra Male... Without being rude I have no idea what some noses are on here to say this is nothing like Ultra Male. They are almost identical, just like Afnan 9PM, Ramz Silver. I have all four and they all respresent the same scent, sweet bubblegum. Not much else to say, really. This is just another Ultra Male in a different bottle. No reason to own all 4 if you have them. I got this one because I was expecting maybe similar to Ultra Male with a twist because of the Warm Spicy, Cinammon, Vanilla, Lavender leading accords but nope, it's the same
