Olivier Ondé Eau de Parfum

I blind bought based on the note pyramid alone. It smells almost exactly like I imagined it would. Although ‘olive tree’ is an imagined accord, it evokes that image convincingly. Green, peppery woodiness greets you immediately. The eucalyptus works very well in this composition and it is not medicinal or astringent. There is some slight powdery effect from the violet, and if patchouli is used at all it is blended very well as it never bullies its way to the fore as it often does. From top notes to drydown, everything smells extremely natural and never overbearing. This is about as far away as you can get from a bleu shower gel scent. Masculine, comforting, modern, and original. Olivier Onde is an excellent addition to the L’Occitan lineup for men. Another great offering from a quality house. Recommend.

Great new creation by L'Occitane. Being a big fan of woody fragrances myself, i must say i was very positively surprised when i first tried it out. I was in a mall and went on a store and sprayed it, then went for a walk to let it dry down, and it was lovely all the way from top notes, to middle notes and base notes. Even tho i am a big fan of Creed house, i must admit this is better than the Viking line they offer, which is similar but too sweet for me. The wood smell on this one is more realistic and objective, and gives me a warm feel when i wear it.

I absolutely love this one, it is very much about oliver tree scent, elemi and vetiver, with its fresh opening. This blend of vetiver with sweat resin (elemi) just repeats the same direction of Fat Electritian Semi-modern Vetiver (ELDO). However they focus on different components: this one on oliver tree of the wild green feeling whilst Fat Electritian on Sweatness and vetiver. Love this love both of them.

To me a very peppery fragrance... lingers close to the skin long after several hand washes and even a shower. Reminiscent of Terre d'Hermes and Montale Greyland, straight from the bat. A big like from (not that big of a fan of strong pepper-scents anymore)

This immediately reminded me of Terre d'Hermes. I smell very strong vetiver and cedar, cypress notes. These earthy tones are balanced out nicely by hints of lime and eucalyptus. This smells like a more modern and fresher version of Terre d'Hermes.
