Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition

Decided to get this after smelling this on someone who walked past by me a few years ago. I also had a decant of this before. I suddenly feel the need to get this because of how I realised the mass appeal of a DNA like this. I wanted something that isn't too crazy in terms of being screechy. I have smelled OG Sauvage, but not Tygar. Perhaps only smelling Tygar-like DNA through its dupes. This is bold enough to be Sauvage, and light enough to be Tygar. First 2 hours? Tygar. The rest? Sauvage, but less soliciting. Grapefruit really nice on the first 2 hours. And this fragrance for being released in 2023 is strong as heck. Dries down to woody vetiver that I enjoy. 1 spray filled my room, making me noseblind easily. It can handle heat too, because of its light nature. As I said, bold but light at the same time. People will think this is Sauvage, or Tygar. A good blend I might say. Office worthy, casual worthy because of the grapefruit, and still retains that badboy energy, although a bit toned down. This thing still rocks nowadays, seriously. Especially in Southeast Asia where people use local-made fragrances and not imported goods like Armaf or anything else.

As noted in my CDN Man EDT review, Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition, CDN Man EDT, and CDN Iconic all share a very similar overall DNA — making owning two, let alone all three, feel somewhat redundant. That said, Odyssey Tyrant is arguably the most distinct of the trio. Unlike the other two, it has no mint note; instead it leans fruitier and spicier, with grapefruit leading the opening and pepper adding character in the heart. Performance-wise, it is also the strongest of the three, though not by a dramatic margin. If pressed, Odyssey Tyrant is my personal favourite of the trio — likely because I am drawn to its stronger, longer-lasting fruity character. That said, this type of scent DNA has probably been done to death across many fragrance brands, so it may simply read as safe and uninspired to more seasoned fragrance enthusiasts. Overall, all three are highly wearable and would suit most men well. The main issue is simply that their functional overlap is substantial enough that owning all of them may not feel particularly worthwhile — unless you're a dedicated Armaf collector or running a social media channel on clone fragrances.

Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition Armaf Opened this up and wore it. It opens with a very nice grapefruit and citrus, but the opening is very short lived, at this point it reminds me of Tygar and Bdc Edt. However the grapefruit and cirtus goes off fast and the heart notes starts to dominate quickly, at this point my nose tells me this smells more like a hybrid of Tygar and savage edt, perhaps due to the notes and the ambroxian I'm not quite getting the Vetiver yet but the ambroxian is there, there's woodiness and cedar but seems the lavender, pepper n elemi is rather dominating.. My nose gets Tygar/BDC in the opening and then becomes Sauvage Edt/Dylan blue kinda dna. Still remains much woody cedar ambroxy lavender scent as it goes to drydown. After 4-5hrs it's a skin scent but still with that Sauvage drydown dna. This was never anywhere close to CAHS like some video said. No way it's anywhere similar to CAHS. I do not know why I'm getting something smelling like a Sauvage dna for this since they already have a Similar franker that is a Sauvage alternative apparently

I’m really starting to appreciate the Odyssey line. Not all are hits, but performance is generally excellent—Limoni being the exception. This one easily lasts from morning until evening on skin, and even longer on clothes. The opening is bright and appealing with grapefruit and citrus. The transition, however, introduces pepper and spices that can feel a little sharp on first wear. With a bit of time to mature, the composition settles and becomes much more coherent. It develops into a strong, masculine scent with a smooth woody dry down that feels quite refined. There is a slight synthetic edge in places, though it is not long-lasting or overly distracting. I’m not familiar with Tygar, which this is apparently inspired by, but there is a faint Sauvage-like character in the background. That said, I actually prefer this. For around £30, it performs and smells well above its price point. It draws compliments, but it is best not to overspray—4–6 sprays is sufficient. 8/10

Wearing this a few times I have a few things to say: 1) It is its own thing - you can pick up elements from fragrances like Tygar, Sauvage and maybe others, but it is its own thing... It is a good , versatile blue fragrance 2) This is insanely strong! My bottle has a weak atomizer which works in its favor - I barely do 3 thirds of a spray and I can smell it around me easily the next day even after taking a shower. It is easily one of the strongest fragrances in my collection. If you can't smell it - your nose is dead from how much you sprayed (and I have fragrance of which I do up to 30 sprays, so I am not light hearted in that regard) 3) I tried going with 4-5 full sprays and it smells bad when sprayed too much.. If you do less, it smells like a modern , classy fragrance (just my tip) Hope this helps! Cheers!

I think this is a hybrid of Tygar & Sauvage because it doesn't smell like one or the other directly but you can pick up both scent profiles easily and I get that all throughout, specially the opening and mid. I'm no fragrance expert by any means but the fact that this one smells like a combination of two of my favorites its a winner for me. I've had it for two months now and I can say that the scent profile has gotten better with time, with the opening feeling more balanced. Its not a beast but projection is 1.5 to 2 hrs, sillage is above average and longevity is 6-8 hrs so I won't complain for $22. I give it 8.5/10

Hoy estuve probando varios perfumes entre esos el CN man elixir, el intense(demasiado para mi), el mandarin sky y este Odyssey Tyrant al final me decidí por este, creo que va de la mano en la piel pues aquellos los sentí intensos para mi pero este tiene el toque justo y correcto de tranquilo pero con la esencia citrica marcada que resalta sin ser intensa como el Mandarinsky, proyecta bastante en la piel aunque en la ropa marca aún más y se siente al rededor, te hace sentir bien como relajado sin llamar tanto la atención, bueno la verdad.

I like the woody bitter grapefruit here. My younger brother showed this to me a few weeks ago and I liked it quite a lot despite the similarities with Sauvage, which I already had. Something unrelated to the smell of the fragrance, but I also like the sparkly/pearly look of the green plastic on the bottle, and the shades of green with the gold accents lol This one is a very solid 7/10, but abit redundant if you already have Armaf Ventana.

Good masculine scent, smells clean and lasts for a reasonable time. I rotate my fragrances according to their best season/time of day and the help of AI for randomness, and this is one I always find enjoyable and go for it when it is drawn. This is not the case for every cheap/inspiration/clone/dupe scent I own. So there's that.

You can never go wrong with this one, it's cheap but smells expensive fresh and manly. 4 sprays is enough, in my office I get a lot of compliments with this perfume and surprisingly it last around 6 to 8hrs. And sometimes 12hrs if the climate is cool. Just a piece of advice don't over spray this perfume.

This one reminds me a lot of dark door sports not tyger or turathi blue. Very sharp and bitter/shour citrussy opening with the spice coming from elemi and black pepper. Very linear too. I can see this will be appropriate for summer day time casual outing. Very good projection and sillage as well. 7/10

Just got this and sprayed immediately to check it out and was pleasantly surprised: it has indeed sauvage dna with a fruity sweet twist. It's nothing ground breaking but it is definitely a mass pleasing blind buy safe perfume that works best in hot weather. I give it a 9.5/10.

Bold and sexy. I like how fresh and aromatic it is. This is also close in similarity to Rue Broca Theoreme. The only difference is the citrus in this one doesn't stand out as much. This is a decent day and night wear, preferably for summer. 7.9/10.

I like it. It has a clear, fresh citrus scent. It's easy to use for any occasion, but it's perfect for summer. And I can't think of anything to wear out of the house.

Good scent but needs months, not weeks, months of maceration..... Kind of a bummer, but it so cheap and smells so good.

Natural orange juice with hints of lemon, and a woody dryout, my kind of fragrance!

very plesant and happy scent. great for the summer.

* Great hybrid citrus/fougere fragrance a la Sedley or Tygar * Love child of Armani Acqua di Gio and Dior Sauvage and Rabanne Invictus * Good blend of citrus, floral, spicy, woody and musky aromas * Prominent notes of citruses, lavender, black pepper, vetiver and cedar wood * Great for cooler weather * Great for outdoor activities * Great for all ages * Strong performer * Cool presentation * Strong ambroxan element may turn off some noses * Not unisex * Faces a ton of citrus and fougere competition on the market Armaf's Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition has been described as a clone of Bvlgari Tygar but honestly as with all of the Odyssey line, it's really a remix of popular DNAs that come together as a cohesive whole. As if the fragrances had already been layered for you and put into a single bottle. In the case of Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition, this comes across as a blend between Acqua di Gio and Sauvage with hints of Invictus. This is a good blend of citrus, floral, spicy, woody and musky aromas and has most prominent notes of citruses, lavender, black pepper, vetiver and cedar wood. Do note that there is definitely Ambroxan in the base which may irritate some noses and is an overly familiar scent to most fragrance lovers these days. This is a great scent overall, which will go well in cooler weather and during outdoor activities. It's useable by all ages and performs extremely well. Presentation is the usual cool "thermos" bottle of the Odyssey line. This is not unisex, women may find it too masculine especially once the strong ambroxan and woods take over. There's a ton of citrus and fougere fragrances on the market and even a few original hybrid originals and clones. Still, this is a great get if you're looking for a citrus or fougere to add to your collection. Recommended.

I'll try to keep it brief regarding this fragrance. I started collecting perfumes over the past 5 years, typically focusing on Arabian fragrances. I was thrilled when I saw it being compared to Turathi Blue and Dior Sauvage; based on the reviews, both longevity and sillage seemed promising. First impressions: it doesn't have much to do with the Turathi/Tygar line. It has a sharp, citrusy opening, and the geranium hits your nose right from the start. After that, a slight orange undertone appears and stays throughout, though it reminds me more of a fizzy orange soda. There is a woody character in the background the whole time, and what's truly surprising is that I get a tiny hint of oud that lingers for a long time—maybe it's just one of the woody notes, but it's definitely not a refined one. Overall, it feels a bit synthetic, but not in an unpleasant way; you can just tell they didn't set the bar very high regarding the quality of the ingredients. For comparison, Turathi Blue plays in a completely different dimension and class. Obviously, it's a bit higher in price, but Turathi is well worth that few dollars difference. You can't complain about the longevity; it easily delivers 5-7 hours on the skin. However, the sillage is low—it can be projected well within arm's reach during the first 2-2.5 hours, but this is definitely not a "room filler" fragrance. After that, it remains a skin scent until it completely fades away. My Verdict: Scent Profile: 7/10 Sillage: 6.5/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Overall, considering its price category, it's not a bad buy at all, but for a few dollars more, there are better options out there; despite this, it's a very wearable, cheap summer fragrance, and it won't break the bank if you don't end up liking it because the price is so good.

I won't waste space by telling folks what cologne or cologne combo this fragrance smells like. I'll tell you about my experience with this. I sprayed this on before heading out to a technical related lecture. The kind of lecture that I would look out of place in. Yes, I'm a geek like the rest of the guys in there, but it doesn't show on the outside. The first spray was a blast of freshness for me. Synthetic, of course, but what would you expect at this price point? The blast muted down to something more manageable and pleasant. It was a nice spring day with a little wind. I stopped at the gas station for a drink and had someone a car over ask what was I wearing. This showed a bit of wind assisted project. Sillage was top notch as evidenced by the moderator of the lecture coming in, stopping, and standing next to me only to say "so you're who we smelled." Tn this lecture, a few guys brought bored but supportive girlfriends with them who picked up a scent. Finally, at the end, I was approached and asked "for a friend" what I was wearing. Longevity-I hit this about 4:00 pm. It stayed strong through 9:00 pm, and I still have a whiff of it now. Projection-8 of 10 as it was smelled a car over Sillage- 7 of 10 people in the intake area knew that someone was wearing something good.

Armaf Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition is definitely a safe blind buy if you enjoy fresh, spicy and modern masculine fragrances. It opens very bright and energetic, with grapefruit and citrus notes, then moves into pepper, while the base adds that recognizable masculine feeling with ambroxan. Still, no single note feels too dominant. It is more like a clean, fresh-spicy bouquet, almost like a sharp citrus breeze mixed with freshly cracked pepper and smooth woods. When I first wore it, it was extremely strong in the opening. Someone even asked, “What smells so good here?” But sadly, that is where the story starts to slow down. The scent comes in, does its job, gets attention and then leaves too quickly. Longevity is not really its strongest point, approx. 3-4 hours.. On the positive side, it can easily go from day to night, which makes it very versatile. Overall, a very likeable and easy fragrance, just not as long-lasting as I hoped.

Overall, a good hybrid between Tygar and Sauvage...making it a bit more unique. At first spray, this is a hot mess. Citrus notes trying to push through a synthetic chemical blast. Give a little bit before you pick up on the sweetness of Sauvage openings. Once it dries down, it plays around with you...sometimes you’ll catch shades of Tygar while other times you’ll pick up Sauvage. Ultimately, I think the wearer will pick up more what they personally want it to smell like. Easily year round. For me, it’s more weekends and nights. Don’t think I would wear this in business setting. Value is fantastic, as are most Armaf’s. If you like the genre of Tygar and Sauvage...I would say this should intrigue you. If you don’t try to fit this in a box, and just aim to enjoy it, you be happy about your purchase.

This was a blind buy after reading a lot of reviews and searching for different takes on this EDP and honestly it is absolutely delicious, the top notes are a very nice citrus that, unfortunately, don't last very long, the dry-down was a bit weird for me, the woody accords slightly overpowered the pepper and lavender but as it settled, it made up a really incredible fragrance harmony for me, the wood and lavender notes leveled themselves and gave off a nice aromatic experience that I liked a lot. I've seen a lot of people compare this to sauvage and tygar but I haven't had the chance to take a whiff of those so im speaking here of tyrant and only tyrant with no comparisons beforehand, I really enjoyed this fragrance and i'm certain that i'll be coming back to it very frequently.

Que bueno que no está tan hypeado por que es un excelente perfume bueno bueno proyección, duración excelentes +7, no hubiese dudado en comprar el de 200ml de haberlo, por q es bastante agradable une 2 aromas conocidos y la verdad es q en lo personal no lo igualó a turhati aunq son semejantes en su salida pero si tiene ese toque de ventana y iconic cdn excelente relación calidad precio y buen fabricante de cumplidos no faltarán. Necesito el de 200mL.

Armaf Odyssey Tyrant has been an outstanding addition to my collection. The fresh citrus opening is bright and invigorating, and as it dries down, it becomes a smooth, modern blend of aromatic and woody notes that smells incredibly refined. I love how versatile it is—it works just as well for everyday wear as it does for a night out. The performance is excellent, and every time I wear it, I'm reminded of what an incredible value this fragrance is.

Dior Sauvage + fresh squeezed orange juice. Period. Nuff said. This stuff is SUPER strong. While downsizing my collection last night, this ended up on the chopping block. I sprayed it ONE time on the inside of my elbow and kept getting whiffs over 12 hours later. It grows on me every time I sample it, and once again, it's safe and is still in my collection. Super good scent, even if it's not my every day jam.

Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition Armaf is an interesting fragrance. It opens up as a fresh citrus with a slightly boozy feel. Although there are no whiskey or booze notes listed I get a distinct margarita vibe from this one. I’ve just received it so haven’t tried it in a real world setting but so far so good. Will update this review after I’ve worn it a few times.

Nothing overly synthetic about this. It’s Dior Sauvage EDT with Tygar. If you like both of these scents you will most likely enjoy this. I will say that the grapefruit here is not as prominent, more of a generic citrus. Very masculine, which I enjoy. Not bad at all.

for every day, college, work... quite a solid perfume. a combination of citrus, spices and wood, reminds me of an aftershave. it leaves that impression of being fresh after bathing and shaving. longevity 6+ hours with solid projection

I like it, fresh scent with what smells like caramel crunch behind it. Dries down less sweet. Sadly it just doesn't last very long. Would certainly consider it again if it did.

Today I decided to wear it for the second time, it smells great, very citrusy, fresh and sweet. I can still smell it on my skin after 8 hours.

I was expecting more tygar than sauvage but I was wrong. The opening you smell that citrus but within minutes youre like okay, sauvage. This is basically Armaf’s tygar sauvage version of armaf’s hunter intense (Invictus + sauvage) where sauvage overpowered Invictus and Invictus just gave it that difference in the background. Same here. Tygar is in the background. You can tell people you decided to make your own mix by mixing tygar and sauvage in an empty cologne sprayer and they’ll believe it. I may add turathy blue and mix it just to get more citrus overall. I don’t hate it. Just don’t love it.

Smells wayyy too fresh spicy for me. However I’ve found it’s a great scent to layer with other things. If you happen to not love this scent I would recommend, mixing it with other scents.

VERY similar to Armaf Magnificent Bleu, but, doesn’t last as long. Still a solid buy for the price. But, if you can find Magnificent Bleu, go for that one.

To me this smells like a cheap shampoo. It doesn’t smell like tygar! It’s more of a cheap shower gel smell. I use it for my car lol

Another suavage but with a heavier take on the aromatic/ green side. Better than the og. Mid sillage and longitivity.

Smells like 2 day open bottle of Sprite...not good not horiblle

worst bottle design ever created

Armaf Tyrant opens with grapefruit and citrus, but those notes are never really strong or dominant from the start. Instead, they’re immediately blended into a heavier floral base of lavender and geranium, which quickly defines the overall character of the fragrance. The pepper note is not like pink pepper or the pepper I'm used to it's like smelling a pepper shaker. Not really what I want to smell like. Performance is solid though—it lasts about 6 hours. I will use this at work. Maybe after sitting for a while the citrus will come out more. Overall, it’s an “okay” fragrance: wearable and long-lasting, but not quite the crisp citrus experience I was expecting. I have worn this three times now and It's being downgraded to a disklike. Also, the performance isn't as good as I initially thought. More like 4 hours.

#476 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is pretty much Odyssey Wild One Gold minus the nasty balsam. So it's an improvement. But still not a clone of Sauvage, and it's sure as hell not Bvlgari Tygar. Similar to Turathi Blue, but so inferior in projection and longevity. More similar to Rue Broca Theoreme, but again, barely lasts an hour. And there's a weird scent of rubber like a pencil eraser to this one. I'd skip it. If clone you must, Armaf Ventana at least hangs on for a few hours.

This DNA is a mash up of Tygar/Turathi Blue and Sauvage EDT. Nothing groundbreaking but still somewhat unique. So far have not come across a hybrid scent like this from opening to dry down. Projection and longevity is horrid. Doesn’t perform like a tyrant, weak juice. Another thing, this smells NOTHING like Chanel Allure Homme Sport which some reviews mentioned dry down is like CAHS but I get 0% of that DNA.

I think I might have a bad bottle. Very heavy lotion like scent that does not change much. I am new to the fragrance world, so it may just be me, but I can't stand to wear this. Not a clean scent at all to me. I do love the dozen or so other clone fragrances I have, but I do not own a similar fragrance to compare it to yet.

It's some sort of a grapefruit Sauvage shower gel kind of fragrance. During the summer I pulled around 10hrs, but I wore it again yesterday and it didn't made it past the 6 hour mark. And it seems like the smell changed too after it oxidised for some months, not so sure I like it anymore.

the scent is fresh at first, but the wood notes completely overpower it after about 1 hour. it happens especially fast on skin. it's the first time i've experienced such a disgustingly strong wood scent. my mistake was only trying it on paper

This is just synthetic trash mess. Smell is terrible.

I’m a woman who got the Armaf Odyssey sampler that has been an absolute JOY to explore. Little 10ml bottles of 12 of the best from this line. I don’t think you need anymore than that if you’re a collector. This, surprised me. I’m not into hypermasc scents, and this might qualify but it has something that clearly resonates with my chemistry I was not expecting. There is a cozy feeling to this from the musks that compliments like a skinscent. I’m not typically big on femme citrus scents, but this combo of citrus, lavender, musk and pepper seems to harmonize on my skin in the best way. Like a luxury unisex body wash from Molton Brown, I feel fresh and cozy at the same time. Perfect for a cold rainy morning. It feels like going on a hike through a cloudy gray meadow and hoping we won’t get caught in the rain. But if we do, we snuggle up under a tree sitting on a tarp waiting for the worst of it to pass. (That’s the kind of “unisex” vibes this gives off) The man I would buy this for is gentle, rugged, outdoorsy, but certainly no tyrant. Lavender is too calming so the name is all wrong. 😆 He’s not a tyrant, he’s your partner. Calm, smooth, energetic, and definitely a morning person. Wear this for a brunch date and you’ll get the right kind of attention.

I was at the metro station a few minutes ago when I perceived a very strong, bold, fresh and spicy smell, I looked around trying to spot the person wearing it and went to ask a guy who was like 2 meters away if he was the one with that smell, he smiled and show me his bottle of Odyssey Tyrant Special Edition, 30 minutes after, as I’m writing this review, I can still feel the smell and the guy is 3 meters away from me!! I bet everybody can smell the same thing right now, crazy projection on this liquid!!!!

I love how many phases this Tyrant goes through on my skin. It does settle into a Luna Rossa Carbon mixed with Tygar after about an hour. People keep saying Sauvage but I don't agree one bit. It is much cleaner, less funky than Sauvage just like LR Carbon is. And the grapefruit opening slaps you in the face and then runs away before you can hit it back. I love this frag and there's nothing else like it in my collection and I do have all the "smells like" ones, but this is its own thing. 9/10

This is one powerful Tyrant. This one is easy to overspray. A citrus bomb at the beginning, drying down to woodniess. I for sure know when I am doing laundry if any of those clothes had Tyrant on them.

This doesn't smell like a close dupe of anything, indeed, it doesn't smell like much of anything, period. This is just a vague and undistinguished freshie. Notable only for being exceptionally weak.
