Franck Olivier

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) FRANCK OLIVIER is a rich, classy and complex bouquet of fruits and flowers. The composition is intense, well-balanced and beautiful. The bountiful fruits are sweet and voluptuous in the opening followed by the rich, colorful and strong bouquet of flowers. When I was a teenager I was into drawing fairies representing each season. If this scent can take shape and form, it would look like my imaginative gorgeous summer fairy with roses and jasmine blossoms in her auburn red hair, dressed in vibrant summer colors of green, red and orange, and holding an intricately weaved basket of ripe fruits and berries of the summer. The first whiff of this fragrance brings gentle grapefruit scent. The blackcurrant and plum appear next with strong and sweet aroma. This fruity-berry mix is quite intense but very delicious at the same time. The floral bouquet in the heart notes is just beautiful. As other reviewers mentioned, it is very well balanced. The individual notes are not designed to stand out but to create one uniform rich and opulent bouquet. The honey like sweetness comes from heliotrope I believe and it is quite nice in this bouquet. The dry down is majestic and beautiful sandalwood, ylang-ylang and musk and perhaps just a hint of vanilla. This is the first fragrance where sandalwood really shines on my skin. I love how it is combined with vanilla and musk. I would like to say BIG THANK YOU to my dear friend Action for sending me this perfume as a gift. I love it and definitely recommend it if you are into strong sweet fruity floral scents like me. The sillage and longevity are awesome too.

What is it about you, Mr Franck Olivier, that I am tempted to include your name into my top fav designers???? I have so far tried 5 fragrances from Franck Olivier collection and they all appeal to me like no other! Franck Olivier signature I have fallen in love after first spray. It feels so good - floral-creamy-fruity-semi sweet. I can't put it in words any better than this. The most prominent notes are peach, plum, grapefruit, heliotrope and a stray rose petal and a pinch of vanilla... Silage and lasting power killer. The price is a joke - it is as if Franck was paying us to get these bottles off his shelves! When I opened the box - a huge smile appeared on my face - the box inside had lovely summer orange-green colours and the bottle was wrapped in purple, crispy gift paper. The bottle resembles ivory texture and colour. The atomizer is golden colour - not some tacky plastic - this is Franck's attitude to his customers - he pampers and nurture them using little charming details from the very moment they unwrap the box! I am getting myself 2-3 more bottles before they are gone. This fragrance will be my secret. I am often asked what I am wearing, even by people who stand behind me in a queue @ the local supermarket but I have never had any intention of revealing who is behind this wonderful gem!!! I give it 10 out of 10. I also rate L'Eau De Franck and Blue by Franck just as high!!!! Oh, and not only my thumbs but also my toes are up for Mr Olivier, since not only does he sign his fragrances, he also creates them himself!!!! Mr Olivier - I officially adore you. Keep doing the great job you do!!!

This is one of my favourite fragrances. This is so unique, completely different than today's parfums. But it is still beautiful and modern. It could be created nowedays and it just would be original. The smell is more fruity and honey-like than floral for me. It is delicious, creamy sweet, sophisticated and very uplifting scent in the most extraordinary, classy bottle that I've ever seen. First, I smell delicious velvety fruits (peach, plum and black currant). Then, the notes of sweet honey - perhaps it's heliotrope?- and ylang-ylang are added to the fruits. Finally, a beautiful vanilla embraces the other notes. It smells heavenly and very expensive on me and on my Grandmother who loves it too. And as Malegria said the staying power is everlasting. In my coutry it is very difficult to find then it's an added bonus that not many people wear Franck Olivier.

This is LOVE at first smell , it was given to me by a very dear friend as a gift for my engagment , and it's one of the most beautiful gifts I 've ever had , My fiance liked it very much & asked me not to wear it when he is away or when I am around other men ;) .Nevertheless , he allowed me any other perfume ..This perfume is femininety in a bottle .It is for a FEMALE not a girl nor a woman, just like that very balanced mix of fruits & florals , it will draw love & desire and sweet memories to a woman in a unique romantic way .It's for a mature female who likes beauty & isn't afraid of drawing attention but in the right way .

This is such an unexpected discovery! I'm totally loving it and I'm impressed with the staying power. It's fruity and romantic but not in a girly way. I find it really feminine and comforting and I love the way it develops on my skin throughout the day. It smells delicious and rich. The peach and plum are very distinctive. If you like old school frags such as Casmir, Roma and Venezia, you should definitely give this a go. The price is a total joke given the quality of the juice inside this cute ivory bottle.

Peach plum powder all the way I love it from the top to base , if you love the original tresor you’re most likely will gonna love this one and don’t get me wrong there’s no similarity between the two in any way , and I imagine if Aphrodite/Venus wore a perfume when she came out from sea will be this one .

Lovely soft fruity-powdery fragrance, which brings a sense of silent happiness and comfort. The formula remained untouched through all these years. Thank you, Franck Olivier, for keeping this beautiful fragrance as it was from the beginning, it is so rare nowadays! :)

Icekat, à million thanks to you for your wonderful gift as well! You are a WONDERFUL person ! I hope you stay with us here forever! Love!

A strange and interesting one. Bought it almost two years ago out of curiousity and because of the great reviews here. I have never smelled anything like it before. It is definitely a fruity smell, and I would even say that it smells of very sweet fruit jam. Even though cherry isn't listed, I would say that there must be a hint of cherry jam in here. But maybe it's just the plum. A very ripe one that is. I wouldn't call it a classy perfume, but rather cheeky and teasy. Suits me well after a work out, and for informal and happy occasions. For me it is a keeper, just because it is so different from everything else I wear, and because no one else has it. I could in fact imagine that if I smelt it on someone else, I would be very curious about what it was, and maybe even ask her about it. It makes definitely an impact and has a clear personality.

I had this shell-shaped fragrance some years ago, and I have only good memories associated with it. I decided to buy it once again while it's available in stores. Yes, here it is, this delicate scent of delicious fruits. This fragrance dates back to the time when people were able to create beautiful compositions from a variety of notes, not contradicting to each other, but, on the contrary, wonderfully complementing each other. It's a delicate peach, plum and blackcurrant at the background. Also I can smell a salt here. But not the same as in Olympia, because salt in Olympia is cloying for me, and here it is perfect. Though salt is not listed here, but notes play just like that. I think that such a fragrance cannot and should not be old-fashioned. This is a very modern and sophisticated "classical" scent for all times!

Nostalgia in a bottle... it used to be mom's signature perfume back in the 90's and early 00's. Now it's back with me, on my perfume shelf this time. It smells like mid-fall to me. Rich, melancholic, sweet. The sun is still warm, but days are getting shorter, the leaves are all golden and everyone anticipates the cold days ahead. But not now yet. We still have time to enjoy the sunshine and the warmth of October. I can't think of any notes to describe this fragrance, just emotions, pictures,colors, places... This is how my childhood smelled like, late 90s, early 2000s, my first elementary school crush, my grandmother's house, my Britney Spears and Shakira posters, my carefree days of happiness in its purest form. And smoky plum jam. Franck OlivieR, thank you for the memories.

Just bought a 75ml bottle, was trying to get hold of this perfume I believe it had been discontinued and was so excited to finally find it online, I had it around 15 years ago and I loved it so much, and I had this impression that I am still in love with it but once I opened and sprayed it I was like hhmmmmm my taste have changed dramatically haha, unfortunately, I am not impressed anymore.. It lasts ages.. kind of fruity/flowery scent, it is sweet but not sweet enough for me.. if anyone fancy a swap for something else DM me, I am based in London.

Well, this one was a very, very nice surprise. Note to self, slow down on blind buys, will you? Retro perfumes are so underrated. Olivier surely nailed it with this one, it's high on plum and peach, dense and fleshy, if you dislike any of them, stay away. It also has a creamy undertone (heliotrope+vanilla+sandalwood) which compliments the two fruit stars. Oh yes, and ylang-ylang is a a nice touch to the mixture, no doubt. Great technical performances and price. Totally a winner.

this is one of my favourite perfumes ever!!!It is just so perfect,it is so feminine,!!All the fruits and flowers make an extremely ,mild,elegant sweet,nice and well blended aroma ...It is really nostalgic.Lasting power is excellent.it is much more better than many other more expensive perfumes made by very famous perfum houses out there

Was super curious about the retro comments and blind bought this, thanks to the catchy price ^^ I definitely get the powdery 90s feel. It’s such a gentle, sensible scent with a nice longevity and layering potential. I wish the peach note lasted longer, but overall it’s a great option for a casual, floral and fruity vanilla

I like to call this one “sangria”. It’s a tart red wine + fruity bits that aren’t super fresh + orange juice + brandy with a couple ice cubes in a squeaky clean glass highball glass. I’m obsessed. I love this fragrance most when it has had a chance to settle into the skin — about 20-30 mins in. Very, very 90s.

I finally came around to this. It's essentially a musky scent with fruity notes, a bit soapy, a bit powdery, a bit retro, but quite lovely. A good scent for doctor's office waiting rooms, or bedtime. The bottle is fabulous. Right now it's a strong like, but I could see it growing into a love.

Mmm...loving the plum and peach notes. This was a blind buy for me based on the reviews I've read. This is much better and very different than what I expected. Definitely feels 90's but not in a dated way. Its quite soft and feminine. Will be wearing this often.

Starts a bit too sour (grapefruit) and indolic (jasmine), but settles into the yummiest fruity vanilla. It does smell dated, so I think you have to be into retro and vintage fragrances to enjoy this one — specifically 80s floral bombs and 90s fruity florals.

I have "Pearls" by Franck Olivier brought from eastern europe. It is supposed to have the same notes as the original frank olivier. This is a cute girly smell (sweet-fruity and floral) to my nose, but i have not tested the original one...
