Olympias

First thing I have to say is that I love the Cult of Dionysus inspiration 🍷 🕊️ 🏆 This is an intoxicating, red wine forward scent, with the heady scent of labdanum, spiced fruit and resinous sandalwood. Makes me think of rich fruits in a metal bowl on an opulent castle banquet table, a low-lit wine cellar where secret dealings are done. There’s a battle raging outside but the nobility continues their wine-soaked revelry, dancing feverishly, indulging their hedonism. Feels like deep blood red and gold. Probably what the wine Odyssey offered the cyclops smelled like. There is a truly narcotic quality. A beautiful red wine, almost metallic, ambery resins, a bit of smokiness wafting from behind a curtain. Pear and something resembling pomegranate or black currant? Very timeless and seductive, Fantôme has yet to let me down ❤️ The quality, blending, complexity, inspiration and artistry behind their fragrances is amazing.
