Olympea Intense by Paco Rabanne Eau De Parfum for Women 80ml

Product Information

i really wish this one worked for me! salty notes really intrigue me, and olympea is one that kept coming up over and over again when i was hunting down perfumes that utilize a salty smell (my first dive was with womanity, which i love, but this ain't about her), so when i finally tried it, i was met with disappointment : The orange peel added the perfect freshness that is missing in almost all the tropical perfumes, that i find tooooo sweet and nauseating The dry-down unleashes salted vanilla, bringing in a sensual salty yet sweet experience that melts into the velvety aroma of cashmere wood. This isn’t anything like the original olympea (which I adore), this is a very big let down to me. It’s a generic white floral beach scent - which again normally I love those sorta notes but in here it just falls flat!

Paco Rabanne Olympea Intense Eau de Parfum 30ml - Superdrug

It's smooth, creamy and blends really well with my skin chemistry. Its smell is delicious, it is the perfect summer perfume. I am in love with this perfume, it's so addictive. The sillage is really good, and it lasts +12h on my skin I have been wearing the hell out of my little sample recently, and this really is a stunning, warm scent. Opens up with sweet citruses, tropical ylang-ylang and freshly peeled orange slices and has a thread of the original salty Olympea DNA. This becomes very smooth and feminine with the addition of vanilla toasted benzoin, giving it an almost caramel quality. I think this could be worn for any occasion, but my first thought went to a luxurious wedding hosted at a plush beach resort on a paradise island. This really is very classy and just beautiful. So warm and elegant. As others have mentioned, this is quite different from the original Olympea. And I love it! It's one of my favorites from this line, along with the Intense version. This is not salty and doesn't have the intense clean florals of the EDP. It opens quite citrusy-fresh and floral with the jasmine, and gets warmer as time goes on, in the same way as the original- before you realise, you're surrounded by sunny creamy tropical flowers. Now, that being said, I think this would layer beautifully with a coconut body lotion. I'd try to go for a subtle, natural-smelling coconut (and not the super gourmand, desserty type) so it only complements the creamy accord without over-powering the rest of the fragrance.This is definitely an interesting floral- the salty note and ambergris keep things interesting as you're left guessing what the notes may be, but the influence of vanilla in the dry down turns this jasmine floral sweet, almost gourmand, but not quite- that salty note and bit of ginger step in.

Paco Rabanne Olympea Intense Eau De Parfum Intense - The Range

Olympéa Intense Eau de Parfum is a very potent, long-lasting fragrance. Comforting and warming it makes an ideal scent for colder autumn-winter months. The potent blend of spices and fruits create a heavy sillage and 6-8 hours of wear. I don't notice the projection when I wear it but I catch whiffs of beautiful summery smells for about 4/5 hours.This fresh oriental scent comes presented inside the stunning, soft rose gold coloured glass bottle decorated in laurel leave crown and transparent topper. Simple yet glorious, it represents a symbol of victory, mysterious and full of heavenly powers. Created by the perfumer Loc Dong, the 2019 release of Olympéa Legend Eau de Parfum is another incredible fragrance from Paco Rabanne. This sweet oriental scent revolves around the delicious note of plum and salted vanilla.
