Odette

Tarty angel. Bitter as she is sweet. Dominant note for me is ruby grapefruit and runner-up is baby powder. Odette’s grapefruit is stellar – so juicy and bitter. There’s an effervescent bubbles-on-ice quality to the citrus, but it's far more Italian soda than seltzer. She’s everything I wanted from DS&D’s Grapefruit Generation, which feels like the La Croix version of Odette. The baby powder must be the rose-orris amalgam. While the clean baby accord scared me off of L’Eau D’Hiver, here the clinical musk plays splendidly with the grapefruit. Unfortunately, Odette has La Croix-level longevity on skin. Liked it on first spritz. Loved it when I reapplied several hours later on fabric. Feral when I got the electrum between Odette on one sleeve and Odile on the opposite wrist, both whispering for me to drop hundreds of dollars on wearable flavoured water. I can be your angle....or yuor devil. Mental Snapshot: Early bird. Virgo stellium. So thorough in her self-care she’s a wellness CEO. Barre, Gua Shua, NYT crossword, all before a breakfast nibble of rosewater Turkish Delight. Sixteen-step skincare routine, rewatching Sofia Copolla’s Marie Antoinette. You can bet she has a planner. At least three, monogramed in swooping scarlet calligraphy. Every evening is booked for “treating oneself.” tl;dr: Mademoiselle Pamplemousse 🩰 🦢 EDIT: revisiting because I can't stop dreaming of her. To the reviewer that said there's fresh cannabis in the opening – omg yes. I definitely see it. This is 100% a grapefruit edible.

This opens with what I find to be the most realistic smelling rose note paired with a strong grapefruit scent. Its very sweet but, in my opinion, it doesn't seem like an artificial sweet scent. It somehow smells very natural. I don't think its a perfume that fits me personally but, I still love it a lot. It's so very pretty and perfect for the springtime. Odette, is such a beautiful experience, and if you can get your hands on a sample of this gorgeous perfume then I'd highly recommend. Even if you wouldn't buy it for yourself or you don't think it'll fit you, its still just an amazing scent to get to experience.

very beautiful but very weak.. i only get the sparkling water towards the end, though its immediately present and photorealistic on paper(tbh smells a bit like pamplemousse la croix on paper!). on my skin, it reminds me a lot of a luxurious rose bubble bath. like everyone else said, its veryyy overpriced. i would recommend buying only after you sample + wear and only if you really like the bottle (it is cute!)

Bought this on a whim after smelling it in Ministry of Scent in San Francisco. I love it, completely unlike any other scent I own, which are mostly Rose based. The grapefruit sparkles but the rose and slightly powdery feel settle longer. I can’t stop putting my nose to my wrist. It’s a scent I wear for me, not for anyone else. Uplifting, fresh, delicious.

The opening is bright, effervescent, intoxicating grapefruit champagne. Lace and tulle gowns, floating down a set of stairs in a sunlit, chandelier filled ballroom set for brunch. Bouquets tied with ribbons. Pastilles and petit fours. A smirk and a wink and a naughty giggle. Lingers sweet and honeyed just for you.

Smells of sparkling grapefruit seltzers, pixie dust, and the color light pink. Odette is a soft, precious scent. It embodies the delicate silhouettes that ballerinas operate in, their movements so fluid and fragile. Perfect for girls who wear dainty jewelry and collect mini porcelain trinkets.

of course its beautiful, but the price and longevity are inexcusable. yes its magical and feminine and youthful and pretty and sparkling and reminds you of all the best times of being a little girl. and the bottle is a work of art. but the price is shocking... and for 30ml...?

an effervescent and tangy grapefruit with a very watery rose. a romantic scent with a slightly lascivious edge. virtuous while having malice lurking not far behind. refreshing, bright, sparkling, pair it with pink blush and a mean spirited giggle.

this is a pitch-perfect rosehip milk tea. i feel transported back to my teenagehood, getting boba after school...

Oddly enough, like another reviewer, this does smell like milk tea to me. But a richly brewed tea.

Stunningly beautiful. A citrus that’s actually sophisticated and complex.

My little sister is taking her first ballet classes this year and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect perfume to celebrate her new passion. Odette and Odile were obvious excellent starting points and I was very excited to get my hands on some samples. Odile is a perky sparking grapefruit soda. She’s sweet and sour like a summer cocktail. My initial guess was a lychee note which I’m surprised to not see listed here. I definitely get candied rose. It lasts longer than I expected for a grapefruit frag and ended with some lovely musk. Also the bottle is stunning. I’m sure when I send her a sample she’ll fall in love with the white swan.

This is unlike any perfume that I’ve ever smelled. To me, it doesn’t come across as girly or dainty, and it doesn’t evoke images of ballet, swans, or any of the things it’s being associated with . Instead it smells like harvesting cannabis lol (especially in the opening), but with a powdery feminine twist. This is not something I could wear every day, so I don’t see myself paying $300 for it. Any woman who has this as her signature scent is probably incredibly badass and cool. The fragrance definitely has a unisex feel, but it leans sweeter on the dry down. I like it!

i wore my sample of this to the ballet last night – swan lake, to see odette who it was inspired by. it was lovely ode to her, for three hours and then i couldn’t smell it at all. unfortunately i agree with other comments that this is way overpriced for something that’ll vanish that quickly, not only that but the bottle is 50ml. ( $300 value btw ) $300 for a pretty bottle and a story is not worth it in my opinion especially since the scent vanishes quickly. if i get this again, it’ll only ever be as 2ml sample size like my previous.

I don't just like this because I can never buy it ($300... seriously?). It's a beautiful, feminine fragrance. I can identify the rose (most realistic fresh rose scent), grapefruit (tart and bright), and rhubarb notes independently, but they play so well together in this. The dry down loses some of that sparkling brightness, but that's when you get to enjoy the orris and musk. The commenter below said it's like Rose Jam from Lush and I 100% agree. Odette is the fresher, brighter, more sophisticated Rose Jam.

Okay, I was not ready for this. I thought the white swan would be airy and delicate, but instead I got smacked with a stunning dose of rhubarb, Italian grapefruit soda, and creamy orris It’s jammy and tart. Every single note hits. It’s kind of giving a lighter, more citrusy version of Rose Jam by Lush. 👀

this is a very beautiful, complex rose fragrance! in some ways, it reminds me of vaara from penhaligon's. the grapefruit acts very similarly to the quince and both are grounded by musk and tonka. i already own vaara so i likely won't get this, but i did like it!

This is a bright and bubbly grapefruit soda kind of smell, light and static notes come off really beautifully <3 I don't think it's worth the cost, given how long it actually lasts, but the bottle is beautiful and the scent itself is playful and sweet!

Look how pink, so preeeettyyy! Candied effervescence for at least 8 hours on my skin. Warm and cheeky and sparkling. Mazzy Star coded. Odile speaks more to my character but Odette is for the soft, sweet, and charming.

This is pretty pleasant :) no complaints, I just don’t think I’d spend that much money for a full size. It’s a nice perfume I just feel like if I did buy it it would be for the BEAUTIFUL bottle
