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!

So this definitely has Olympea DNA to an extent, but Olivia is way more floral and less salty in my opinion. I would have preferred less floral notes and more salt. Having said that it is a beautiful fragrance and v close to Olympea. The dry down becomes less floral thankfully. Ive only just got it so can’t comment on longevity but it smells strong, a few sprays goes a long way! I am going to let it macerate for a few months. Each time I smell it it takes me back to when I first started wearing Olympea back in 2015/2016 and wore it every night out!

The opening of this is strange. It smells very much like sea water. In fact, that’s all i could smell for the first 15 minutes. Then i began to notice the caramelized sugar and light floral. Nothing earth shattering but quite pleasant. Smells’s like salty sun-kissed skin and a day at the beach.

I have this on one arm, Olympea on the other: they’re basically identical after 5-10 mins, but this one is less salty. Overall, I’m totally impressed! Great job, Maison Alhambra! I wish they’d make a version of the flanker, Olympea Legend (with that plummy kick).

I tried it on my skin today, and it does resemble Olympea, but it has this sort of metallic smell (I guess it's the amber gris) and it's not so vanillic. I don't think I'll be purchasing this one.

I couldn't really understand what exactly I got in the opening. Metallic? Ink? Salt? And yes, it was salt and animalic notes. I've only tried Olympea briefly but didn't like it so when I saw that it was compared to that I knew this was a big no for me. No as in I had to scrub it off. It's not a safe blind buy.

بالنسبة لي الرائحة الكيميائية قوية لدرجة انها بالفعل تمنع من استخدامه، او على الاقل تمتنع من استخدامه بشكل متكرر ميسن الحمراء ثاني اسوء براندات التقليد قبل لطافه، بعد تجربه مايقارب ٥٠ عطر تقليد وجدت جودة ميسون الحمراء سيئه اكثر من المرات التي كانت جيدة، نعم عندهم عطور جودتها جيدة لكن السيئة اكثر. فريغرنس ورلد ثاني افضل جودة وافضل جودة فرنش افينيو الرائحة كفكرة ٨/١٠ كتنفيذ ٢/١٠ (رائحة كيميائية قوية) تقييم اجمالي ٠/١٠ لانه غير قابل للاستخدام - - As an idea the perfume is good, but its problem is the chemical smell just like many Maison Alhambra perfumes. And no, it’s not that it needs maceration. The bottle I have was produced in 2022 and I bought it in 2025, so it should have reached its maximum maceration. For me the chemical smell is strong enough that it actually prevents using it, or at least prevents using it frequently. Maison Alhambra is the second worst cloning brand before Lattafa. After trying around 50 clone perfumes, I found Maison Alhambra’s quality bad more times than it was good. Yes, they have some perfumes with good quality but the bad ones are more. Fragrance World is the second best in quality and French Avenue is the best quality. Scent as an idea 8/10 Execution 2/10 (strong chemical smell) Overall rating 0/10 because it is not usable

Unfortunately, even after letting it sit in a dark place for a year, the scent has not evolved or rounded out at all. There is an aggressive, chemical undertone that completely ruins everything. It smells heavily of a harsh insect repellent or a pungent pesticide mixed with a faint hint of something meant to smell good. It leaves a persistent, industrial stench that clings to surfaces and refuses to fade. This isn't just a matter of whether it is a good dupe or not; there is fundamentally something wrong with the formulation of this juice. If you are sensitive to harsh synthetic notes, stay far away from this one. My head hurts 🤮

Even after months of maceration this is still too chemical, harsh, and unusable, so chemical, it cant be safe Downgraded to 0/10

So just got this and my first impression on paper is that it smells like heavy white florals, metal and B.O. I really don't want to test it on my skin. I'm going to give it a few months and come back to it to see if it improves. I haven't smelled Olympia so I can't speak to if it is a good dupe or not. It kind of reminds me of a harsher version of Alien Goddess, I'm surprised there are no comparisons.

It's a version of Olympea that I find to be more wearable. Give it time to settle and then judge. Of course it's something, people commenting on middle Eastern perfumes should already know. I dislike Olympea for being sickly sweet and in a way immature. Not my type of DNA, yet I can appreciate when a perfume is a good one. Olivia is good. And for the price, it's even excellent.

Olivia es horrible simplemente horrible, no es algo agradable que puedas decir que hermosa fragancia pero no es mi tipo, no!! Es horrible horrible, prueba antes de comprar si no quieres tirar tu dinero directamente a la basura
