Incredibly refreshing cheapie!
Wow, for $30 this is such a great summer freshie!
I just had this arrive May 2nd so it has obviously not macerated to its full potential but already straight out of the box it is wonderful, exactly my style. I'm a huge citrus freshie fan and this is right up my alley.
It opens with a MASSIVE blast of candied citruses. A medley of chopped oranges, lemons, mandarins, tangelos, and the like. A true hesperidic's dream. I could smell this opening all day and never get tired of it.
It stays fairly linear throughout the mid about 2 hours in, drying into a creamier popsicle style of citrus which is also pretty appealing. I have caught whiffs of my own sillage working at my computer or moving my arms around (where I sprayed) and sticks to my skin super well.
As of the first day owning it, I don't get many notes of tea (Ala Imagination vibes) but I will update this review 4-6 weeks in.
The dry down on day 1 (4 hours in) smells fairly weak yet clean in a 'lotion on fresh skin' kinda way, mixed with the Kitchen Lemon scent from Bath & BodyWorks (not that it smells cheap or like soap/lotion/sunscreen).
I am not worried about performance because I'm confident it will grow into such a summer banger, despite most citrus frags being weak performers. I can already see myself knocking out 50% of this bottle during this Summer 2025 because it is SO enjoyable.
Bang for buck, it is a summer stunner especially if you also love citrus! I might layer it with Light Blue Eau Intense for a bitter then sweet combo.
Huge similarities with Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton in the beginning (yes I've owned decants of that one so I can comment on how close they are). They do differ after 20-30 minutes as Odyssey isn't solely focused on citruses as Afternoon Swim and the former lasts longer anyway. Odyssey is still pretty linear but evolves much more than Afternoon Swim ever will. I don't exactly get Imagination similarities but maybe it will grow into that after maceration.
