Odyssey Mandarin Sky captures the bright, citrusy opening and creamy floral heart of Scandal quite well, with the mandarin and tuberose pairing being nearly identical. However, the base is noticeably less complex and warmer, lacking the original's sophisticated vanilla-sandalwood balance, making it feel slightly more linear and less refined after a few hours.
The clone has slightly shorter longevity and projects less sillage than the original. The base notes lack depth and subtlety, with a more straightforward musk and sandalwood profile compared to Scandal's nuanced ambroxan-vanilla blend.
What people who wear Armaf Odyssey Mandarin Sky report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Oh boy this one is really really nice. It has that designer fragrance feel to it. A very smooth fragrance which is an impressive 1:1 dupe of JPG's scandal edt. If you like scandal edt then this is a super easy blind buy for you.If I talk about the performance, well its not phenomenal cause it doesn't perform until and unless you are in an air conditioned environment. I think it would perform better in winters rather than in summers. If you're not wearing it outdoors then rest assured this will give you good 8-10hrs with good sillage and projection.A solid 10/10 !!!”
“Very fair price, lasts decently well. If you can look past the bottle design, it's an easy dumb reach for summer, an inoffensive work fragrance. Opens with heavy Mandarin and orange lasting about half an hour and then dries down to a lightly floral, musky, sweet wood which, albeit a little ordinary has gotten me a lot of compliments.”
“Straight out of the box, Will give it time.Opening smells like straight oranges, especially on shirts. However, I do like how this smells on skin.Completely unexpected dry down, if you sprayed this on your skin, then 10 minutes later you spray it again, you’d think that they are completely different fragrances.The dry down is similar to Scandal but the citruses are way cleaner on Scandal.”
