Odyssey Mandarin Sky Elixir

The first spray is bright and slightly sour, mandarin and orange sharpened by lavender, cardamom and black pepper. As the mandarin fades, caramel and tonka bean turn the heart rich and sweet, with incense and patchouli adding a darker, more intriguing note. The base settles on vanilla and vetiver, smooth and warm.

A deeper take on a bright idea, it suits men who want a scent with presence. Rated at six to ten hours, with strong sillage, it is at its best in autumn and winter. Wear it for evenings out, dinners and cold-weather occasions where a warm, sweet trail fits the mood.
