What Reddit owners say
3/5 SweetnessSynthetic / harsh“Can you tell me more about Mandarin Sky Vintage? You see, I have the original and I kinda like it but for me it is just way too sweet and for some reason reminds me of when I was a child smelling my mom's lipstick 💄 Literally my first thoughts when I smelled Mandarin Sky were this is really nice but too sweet and synthetic and I wish there was a version of it that was more masculine. So how masculine would you say the Vintage Edition is? I am want to pull the trigger on it but am worried it won't be for me either.”
4/5 ProjectionSweetness“(white, mega, aqua & mandarin sky)”
2/5“I have Mandarin Sky, Mega, Limoni, and now this one have all been hits for me. I did get Homme some time back (the black one) and didn't like it at all, but I think that might be more the scent profile not being my thing.”
4/5“I really like the Odyssey line and have many of them. They all smell good and perform well for me. So far I don't have any I dislike. Just purchased White and it should arrive soon. I have Aqua, Aoud, Ba Ha Ma, Limoni, Mandarin Sky, Mega, Spectra, Tyrant”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“For me, it's Armaf Odyssey Mandarin Sky - super fresh citrus + actually projects. Easy top pick for the 2026 summer. I bought this in the Jan month and am loving it.”

4/5 Summer“Interesting I live in Puerto Rico so it's summer all year I use the original version of the mandarin sky (scandal) as a work colonge using it in the sun for 10 hours and I was still smelling good but that was the original version not mandarin sky so who knows”
4/5 Sweetness“Good stuff. My atlas has been sitting for about a month. It was boom 💥 when I first sprayed it. Put it back in the box and in my closet. Today I sprayed it ..starting to calm down in a way. I layered it with Armaf Mandarin sky...it is actually a pretty nice combo. Kinda turns it into a sweet and dark marine scent. Salty aquatic but sweet and creamy.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“With Mandarin Sky, I didn't notice the orange when I first got it, but after about a month, when I used it again, I smelled the orange note on top.”
