What wearers say
“Fresh and sweet that's balanced with pink pepper. It's not spicy but fresh. The plum touch is excellent, but I wish they made the plum a bit stronger. This one's a really good summer fragrance.Longevity is decent. If you consider longevity as in like dipping your nose on your skin, then yea. This can last up to 6-8 hours. You can smell very small whiffs after more than 8 hours.Sillage or projection is extremely poor though. This one becomes a skin scent rapidly. Disappointing.”
“Fresh, fruity and very likeable; mass appealing and definitely a compliment getter .If you’re looking for a dupe/clone of this fragrance, try Armaf’s Odyssey Aqua. It’s a stronger version of this, and when I say stronger, I mean on steroids. Projects and lasts forever. I prefer the original because is softer and better blended.”
“Opening is really nice but the dry down is terrible, it turns into a completely different scent on the dry down. It starts off really nice, fresh, uplifting and a little sweet with a hint of a woodsy note but the dry down is just straight up terrible wood and musky. The dry down reminds me of a really bad pine/Christmas tree candle from Walmart.”
