A fresh, citrus-aromatic EDP with bergamot, sage and cedar. Widely sold as an affordable take on YSL Y.
Inspired by YSL Y Eau de Parfum
Armaf Odyssey Mega Eau de Parfum is a eau de parfum from Armaf built around orange, bergamot, lemon up top, moving into a pineapple, juniper heart and settling on a musk, tonka base. It's widely marketed by retailers as an affordable take on YSL Y Eau de Parfum, based on its fresh citrus-aromatic-woody structure.
What does Odyssey Mega smell like?
Odyssey Mega opens fresh and zesty, with orange, bergamot and lemon brightened by ginger and a cool flick of mint. The heart shifts into a more herbal, aromatic direction with juniper, sage and geranium alongside pineapple, keeping the freshness going without turning purely citrus. The base settles into a clean, modern woody-musk finish of tonka, cedar, vetiver and musk, which is why several reviewers and retailers pitch this limited edition release as an affordable take on a well-known fresh masculine.
- Top notes: orange, bergamot, lemon, ginger, mint
- Heart notes: pineapple, juniper, sage, geranium
- Base notes: musk, tonka, cedar, vetiver
