Armaf Odyssey Homme is the perfect choice for men who adore woody scents. A blend of sumptuous vanilla and oriental notes is as intriguing as the original amphora-shaped bottle it is housed in. Sensual and refined, it is for a man who is strong-willed, resolute and brave to embark on a thrilling adventure like the hero of the Greek Odyssey. The fragrance definitely deserves a spot on any vanity for both the packaging and the scent inside.
The olfactory pyramid of Armaf Odyssey Homme:
Top notes open with sweet vanilla and warm amber, setting the stage for a delightful experience ahead.
Heart notes combine sophisticated oriental accords and spices with the powdery iris.
Base notes are composed of captivating jasmine, spicy leather and opulent vanilla.
Absolutely did not live up to expectations. I don't know why perfume bloggers talk about it as an "iris" fragrance at all. There is no trace of iris notes at all. It is a very sweet and incomprehensible "something". Not vanilla, not amber, just some very sweet synthetic scent. Even in this price category, there are much more interesting options for autumn/winter.
What initially caught my attention was the design. Since there were no reviews here, I searched on the internet. I bought it. And I didn't regret it! I can't describe the scent (by notes). In two words - fresh and long-lasting. Pleasant men's fragrance. Not heavy. I bought it as a gift for a young guy. It was a perfect fit.
P.S. The lid (top with handle) can be removed - underneath is a standard sprayer. The bottle is solid and heavy. The cologne is great as a gift.
