The Scoop
Odyssey Mega captures the fresh, aromatic spice profile of Y with its prominent cardamom and ginger notes, though it presents a slightly softer interpretation of the original's crisp mineral backbone. The fragrance successfully mirrors the clean, slightly woody undertone of Y but lacks the precise citrus clarity and mineral intensity that define the original's sophisticated character.
Key Differences
Odyssey Mega is noticeably sweeter and warmer than Y, with a more prominent spice accord that softens the mineral sharpness of the original. The longevity and projection are also somewhat reduced compared to Y's powerful performance.

What wearers say
“Good dupe of Y, the opening is a bit harsh and its not exactly like Y, like 85% accuracy I'd say, and also the projection and longevity aren't anything special but aren't bad either, pretty typical for a cheap fresh citrusy summer fragrance. But yeah I do like the smell profile, again the opening is a bit harsh but I think it'll get better as it macerates. Good fragrance and definitely worth the price point.”
“Straight off dupe of Tom Tailor Cool Mind. 1:1 with a better performance than the original.I really like this dna in cool weather 15-22 °C. It is a little bit too loud in summer and a bit too sour in the winter.My overall score for this one is 7.5, but given the price (15€ at present) it is a real bargain.”
“I don't understand those who think this perfume is not a good clone. I also have YSL Y EDP, so I can safely say that this is 90% similar, and after leting it sit for a month, its longevity is much better than the original's. Projection is also great, you don't need more than 3-4 sprays. A great everyday scent that gets compliments. At around $20 it's almost a steal.”
