Odyssey Candee
If you want a fragrance that smells like a fairground rather than a boardroom, Armaf Odyssey Candee Eau de Parfum 100ml is built for exactly that, and it is unapologetic about it. Strawberry and raspberry open it, jammy and tart in turn, with peach adding a soft fuzzy sweetness and bergamot providing the only real sharpness in the first few minutes. Geranium is the clever inclusion up there, green and a little metallic, because without it this opening would collapse into syrup immediately. Caramel is the centre of the fragrance. It smells buttery and slightly burnt at the edge, like toffee taken off the heat a moment late, and passion fruit sits beside it with a sour tropical bite that stops the sweetness closing over your head. Jasmine is the third material in the heart and it works almost as a texture, lending a creamy richness rather than a recognisable flower.
Then it ends abruptly and sensibly. Patchouli brings earth and a trace of bitterness, amber spreads a warm sticky sweetness, and between them they put a floor under all that fruit. Only two materials in the base, which is why the fragrance stays sweet to the end rather than drying out the way heavier compositions do. It carries strongly for the first hour and lasts five or six, and a light hand is genuinely necessary with something this sweet. Autumn and winter suit it best, because heat exaggerates sweetness. It is made for women, and more specifically for younger wearers and for anyone who enjoys dessert style fragrance without wanting to spend much on it.
Armaf has been turning out French styled scent from Dubai since 2010, and the Odyssey range is one of its largest.
