Questions and Answers

Q: How does Avon Odyssey smell?

A: Avon Odyssey is a sultry fragrance. It has a warmth from the earthy base notes, but the main accord of floral sweetness comes on strong. With a bouquet of flowers in the top and middle notes, there is no denying this is a flirty and feminine fragrance. It is sweet and clean in its presentation. The classic nature is undeniable as in the 1980s floral scents were incredibly popular, especially among older women. Despite floral often being overwhelming, Avon did an amazing job keeping this light and wearable.

Q: Where do you apply Avon Odyssey?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: Avon Odyssey is a body spray or cologne spray, which means Avon never intended it to be too strong. It is something you splash on after bathing to complete the fresh and clean feeling. It is a great choice to wear every day since it isn't too strong.

Q: Is Avon Odyssey for him or her?

A: This perfume presents very feminine due to the overwhelming floral notes. However, men who like flowers may also find it pleasing. It is more about preference than gender.

Q: Does Avon Odyssey last long?
