Odyssey Cologne – A Feminine Perfume For Women
Odyssey is a feminine perfume for women that features tropical flowers and hints of magnolia. Its 1.7-ounce bottle makes it easy to carry and use.
This cologne from Avon is perfect for any occasion, be it work or a party! Its lily of the valley (muguet) and tuberose top notes are mixed with ylang-ylang and oak moss.
Fresh Florals
The fresh floral notes in Odyssey Cologne are a breath of fresh air. It’s a blend of cool tropical flowers such as muguet, ylang-ylang and oak moss.
The lily of the valley is also in the mix with its bright floral notes and delicately waxy persona. The scent is rounded out with the classic scents of sandalwood and vetiver.
Avon’s relaunched Classics Collection version of the Odyssey Cologne combines the fresh lily of the valley note with magnolia, tuberose and ylang-ylang to create an unforgettable aroma that is as romantic as it is sophisticated. The cologne comes in a 1.7 fl oz spray bottle for a regular price of $18.
It is a little hard to say that the Odyssey Cologne is better than its competitors but I think it might have something to do with the fragrance’s ability to conjure up a certain scene and feeling in the mind of the wearer. It is one of the most unique scents on the market.
Woody Notes
The woody notes in Odyssey Cologne surround and envelope the wearer, making it feel like a deep and reassuring breeze. These notes also blend beautifully with the florals and fruity notes to create an enchanting elixir for your senses.
In a nutshell, the woody notes in Odyssey Cologne are warm and cozy with a tinge of soothing animalic musk. They are a great way to introduce the fresh florals and fruity notes in the fragrance without overwhelming them.
Several perfumers have created fragrances with this olfactory family, such as Guerlain’s Samsara which uses an overdose of sandalwood (up to 20%), with a few molecules of vetiver and a touch of jasmine.
Quentin Bisch also created Purpose, a scent that has an expansive, chic but raw interpretation of a frankincense tree alone in the desert, its branches reaching upwards to the sky. It opens with a bracing dynamism brought across with bergamot, pink pepper and pimento berry, then sand vetiver, exquisite sandalwood, ancient papyrus collide, infused with Mystikal Molecule (Burning Incense), saffron-laden suede and woody akigalawood.
Fruity Notes
The fruity notes in Odyssey Cologne are quite sophisticated. They come from a blend of watermelon and lily of the valley combined with a soft caress of musk.
It’s a fragrance that makes me think of mossy forest flowers in a rainstorm heating in the sunshine as it warms the raindrops and dries them off. It’s a meditative scent that I find soothing and comforting.
Its name, ‘Odyssey’, reminds me of the ancient Greek story about an island full of wonder and beauty. It’s a calming scent that helps me forget my stress and worries. The best part about it is that it’s not overpowering. It’s also a perfume that will last for a long time. It’s a great choice for any women looking to create a new scent for themselves or as a gift.
Musk Notes
Musk is a very popular scent in the perfume world. It can be found in sweet or woodsy fragrances and is known for its distinctive, sensual odor.
“Musk is one of those fragrance notes that smells different on everyone,” says Carina Chaz, founder of Dedcool. She explains that traditional musk was secreted by deer.
This animal odor was originally used in perfumes, but it’s largely replaced with synthetic versions these days. The odor is also unique to each person, and it can be very sexy and provocative.
Avon’s Odyssey Cologne, launched in 1982, features fresh floral notes like watermelon and lily of the valley, with a soft caress of musk. It’s a pretty, feminine scent that’s easy to wear.
