Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS (2018)

This updated Black XS is a polarising beast. Some rave about its playful sweetness and mass-appealing charm, while others lament its weakened performance and what they see as a diluted version of the original. Expect compliments, but don't expect it to last.

Statement

Our Verdict - Odyssey Mandarin Sky Body Mist

If your dream is to smell like a caramel orange explosion, Armaf's Odyssey Mandarin Sky is your ticket. It's a sweet, bold, and utterly unapologetic statement, perfect for making an entrance whether people love it or not.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black XS (2018)

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its sweet, playful nature and limited longevity make it less suitable for formal or office settings. It excels in casual and date scenarios where its charming, approachable scent can be appreciated up close, especially for younger wearers.

Seasons

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

The strong, sweet, and aromatic profile is robust enough for casual and date settings, ensuring you'll be noticed. It's too dominating for a professional office environment, and its playful sweetness wouldn't traditionally suit formal affairs or sports.
