Olivia

I love Olivia, and others like it too as I have received compliments from strangers! Olivia is more animalic than Olympea. It does resemble Olympea, but it is not a perfect clone -- I like Oliva more. I don't own the OG Olympea but I have two flankers, and to me, Olivia is more interesting and complex. The opening is very much a "sun-dried sea water on the skin scent", well balanced with sweetness. It sounds gross, but it has a clean lady parts smell in the most appealing way possible (I think due to the ambergris and white floral combo). The dry down is so interesting -- when it floats up to my nose it smells like sherbert -- sweet with a tang from the mandarin orange! When I sniff closely it is a deep amber. Longevity and sillage are great. On clothes it lasts forever, on skin it is noticeable for 5ish hours. It reaches my nose a good 4 hours after application, and I receive compliments from shop assistants who I am standing at least 1m away from. I am wearing this in very hot and humid weather and it works, but I think it would be best for spring and autumn. Wearing it at the gym is okay, but it's a little too sweet for me to say it's entirely suitable.

A salty jasmine with a hint of ginger, which sounds horrid but works just fine. I can also detect the vanilla but it's not an edible gourmand one, it just balances the florals. It's delicate and feminine, which is usually not my vibe but smells clean and bubbly and I really like it as a bed scent. Longevity is decent and sillage too, but it's not super strong. Maybe it needs maceration? People around me like it a lot as well and I prefer this one over the OG Olympea, tbh. PS: after some months longevity has improved a lot and now it lasts about 5/6 hours.

I just unboxed this one today. Its a little sharp. I love In Flame by La Rive more than Olivia at this time. In Flames is softer and saltier with good longevity. If you love in flames and would like a sharper scent, try this. Dont think of this as a substitute.

Inoffensive perfume with olympea dna. I still needed a soft female perfume for all occasions and this one fits that purpose perfectly. It also gives me a bit of that clean clothes feeling, without the smell of detergent.

If you like or love Olympéa, this is a decent dupe! I do smell something really strong in the opening that is unlike the OG. They share notes, yes, but there is something harsh in the jasmine or ginger notes, I really can’t tell but I do understand the burnt tire/rubber comparisons. I don’t get it for too long and It’s not as terrible as I’ve seen it described but it’s there for a few minutes at least. Luckily, the screechiness wears off soon enough and as it progresses it starts to smell so much more like Olympéa. It’s way stronger and lasts so much longer. I get a lot more ambergris and aquatic tones than the OG. It’s definitely vanillic and salty, a bit woody. EDIT: I’ve had this for a few months now and sprayed it here and there and I’ve noticed the harsh smell in the beginning has really toned down. It smells stronger and projects a lot more than the OG. For the price this is good!
