Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Odyssey Mega lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Magnetic Blend 7.

Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Magnetic Blend 7's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $32 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Magnetic Blend 7.
