Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Velvet

Divisive and not what you'd expect from the name. This one leans more floral than gourmand, with some finding it surprisingly mature, whilst others praise its versatility and crowd-pleasing potential.

Our Verdict - Odyssey Marshmallow

If you're after a budget-friendly YBM dupe with a strong floral twist, this is it. Brace yourself for a powerful, sweet, and intensely fruity opening that some find a bit much. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of marshmallow, definitely not for the faint of heart.

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate sweetness and floral lean make it suitable for office and formal wear, as noted by reviewers. While versatile, it lacks the freshness for active sport and the intensity for a show-stopping date night.

Odyssey Marshmallow

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - winter and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

This intensely sweet and strong gourmand makes it unsuitable for professional settings, as it can be overwhelming for others. It suits casual outings or dates where its playful and powerful projection can shine without being intrusive.
