This one just feels like a more refined version of Mandarin sky, much less screechy and sharp, much smoother and rounded with the sweetness being more similar to what you'd find in the jpg elixir dna which makes sense as the original Mandarin is a clone of Jpg Scandal.

Odyssey Mandarin Sky-JPG Scandal clone (It opens like a freshie, with a sweet, aquatic, citrusy, juicy, mandarin/orange blast but at the same time leans into a sweet carmel, woody dry-down while still maintaining that citrusy blast.

It's really similar if not 1:1 to JPG Scandal.

In someway, it reminds me (just a little bit) to JPG Scandal (or its clones like Mandarin Sky) because the main notes (put it simple) are orange/citrus and caramel (citrus prominent at the start; caramel staying in the drydown).

The Mandarin Sky is more like a caramel pronuncing fragrance that smells really really close to JPG Scandal EDP, good for late fall to early spring.
