SOTD: Odyssey Homme Black by Amraf 04/03/2026
Without a doubt this gotta be the best bang for your buck winter fragrance in the Amraf line up. It's certainly the only Odyssey flanker that Took my fancy, & I've had my nose on most of them. Hate to throw it into the clone pile but imagine this? Tom Ford's Noir Extreme went on a night out & did some horizontal DNA swapping with that good looking bottle of La Nuit de L'Homme. This would be the result of that thrist. The scent profile is a journey from a dense, sweet opening to a creamy, woody dry-down. With top notes of Ambergris & Vanilla, you get a rich, warm, slightly salty sweetness. It hits the nose with a thick airiness rather than a sharp citrus burst. At its core Iris, Oriental Notes & Spices This is the soul of the fragrance. The iris adds a powdery, lipstick like elegance, similar to Dior Homme. Whilst the spices mimic a warm chai latte. As it settles into the drydown with more Vanilla, Leather & Jasmine. The leather adds a masculine edge to the base, while the vanilla rounds everything out into a smooth & creamy finish. This performers reasonably well, with 6hrs on my skin, I'm not complaining.On clothes, the vanilla and amber base notes can linger for days. It projects well for the first 1.5 to 2 hours. It creates a noticeable scent bubble without being too cloy or overbearing, making it ideal for date nights or formal evening events. Strictly for Autumn or Winter use. If you love the warm, spicy, and powdery DNA of high end designer scents but don't want to drop ā¬ā¬ā¬ Odyssey Black is a top-tier alternative. It smells more expensive than it is.
