Olympéa Flora

Had to get this. Tried the tester the other day, opening is really reminiscent of YSL Babydoll which I used to wear when I was like 17 and loved, later on the fruitiness paired with the patchouli also reminded me of Montale Oudmazing, couldn’t get the creamy, salty, fruity scent out of my mind so picked it up 15% off today in Boots. Not a huge fan of the original; Legend, Intense & Blossom have been surprise loves for me, this takes the elements I love from blossom and amps them up - the blackcurrant, pink pepper, creamy sorbet, vanilla and salt really shine for me. Like blossom, I feel this may need some time to develop before you can appreciate the fullness of the fragrance, and will need overspraying, projection is low-moderate and the one tester spritz on my forearm lasted around 6-7 hours and I smelt wafts of it for about 5hrs. Prep your skin well! I am so looking forward to wearing this beauty on holiday and warm summer nights. Glad I got this instead of another bottle of blossom as I find this sweeter, creamier, and the almost peachy sorbet opening is so nostalgic. Would not pay full price, just like with any other designer fragrance now and for the foreseeable future, wait for a discount. Edit: I don’t get Delina or Nova from this, there is no sharpness to my nose and Flora is less rose centric than those two. They all have a slight ‘sweaty’ - musk and salt vibe but I wouldn’t say they are similar scents as I don’t love Delina, and detest Nova, but could drench myself in this. It’s definitely giving Babydoll 😍 Have been wearing this for a few days now - longevity is great, can still smell it on me the next day upon waking after applying the morning before - definitely an intense version, think the projection will be much better in warmer weather

This fragrance is the one that got me into fragrance for the first time about 6 months ago so it definitely has a special place in my heart. It was the only perfume I owned until quite recently so it was my signature scent for quite a while. I honestly don’t know why this one doesn’t get any hype because I think it is lovely. If this scent was a colour (and I’m not just saying this bc of the bottle) it would definitely be a hot pink or maybe a coral colour. It definitely has warm weather vibes for me which is good bc where I live there is pretty much only warm weather, but I don’t think it would be offputting to wear in cold weather at all. It’s fruity and refreshing on first spray, then it starts to become sort of like a Turkish delight as the rose comes out, and then after a while the vanilla makes an appearance and it becomes more sweet than refreshing. I’ve sadly gone a tiny bit nose blind to this one from wearing it so much so I’m trying to detox so I can hopefully enjoy it again. Lasting power is moderate on skin but very long on clothes, and it projects well without being overpowering. And of course the bottle is absolutely gorgeous! As a side note if you don’t like original Olympea- neither do I and I think this is not similar at all despite being a flanker.

it’s a sweet fruity floral. to me, it smells like a mix of burberry her and lancôme idole (which is incredible to me bc they’re both my faves) i think it’s the rose note that is played so similarly to idole and the sweetness resembles burberry her’s. i wouldn’t call this a gourmand but something about it feels like it. it’s a stunning perfume. it can be too sweet for some but I think the sweetness is incredible and works wonderful here. i had to spray quite a bit tho. idk if it was just this one time bc i checked it out while having another perfume on already. it stays EXTREMELY WELL. especially on clothes but also on the skin. it’s been a few days and I can still smell it! overall quite good! it’s quite pricey though so i’m waiting with this one!

Listen, I absolutely love this perfume. The entering notes are stunning, sweet, fruity, it's so intoxicating you want to keep sniffing it like crazy. But that's it, doesn't offer much more than that bomb of heaven... In the next two hours you will not smell it :( and for the price, the perfume decays relatively quick (after just six months mine started smelling oddly) and it starts smelling like ruined cheap perfume... I would not recommend getting it, maybe if you collect the olympea perfumes.

tried on a spritz while shopping because i was looking at it for my mum because i assume we'd have similar skin chemistry its very nice - to me it smells like burberry her edp but more mature? it makes me smell like im employed my mum does like it and i convinced her to try it on - depending on how it goes by the end of the day i might get it for her for christmas

Good and fun perfume. Fruity and youthful. The only Olympea perfume I've considered owning, even though I found the Blossom flanker to be nice. But its definately not worth the retail price, got my eyes on a second hand bottle. Would be wonderful for summer! : )

As soon as I sprayed the sample I got Marc Jacobs Lola and Lola Velvet which were favourites of mine - a darker, sweet floral with a woody drydown. A grown-up fruity to add to the Olympea pantheon - this one is more Hera than Aphrodite.

The best combination of rose, pepper & woods, and salted vanilla in the base and not in your face. In my opinion, the best formula and the most office appropriate of the range.

Why no one talks about how beautiful this perfume ??? The blackcurrant isn’t overwhelming, it performs like edp not edp intense , very feminine scent I really like it ❤️🔥

I like it a lot it was the signature perfume of my ex fiancée so I still have a big plastic decant of it she gave me so yeah for the memories I like it 👍

It's like Victor Rolf's Flower Bomb. Sweet but complicated. Interesting. Hard to tell a single fruit or flower apart.

very sweet and musky its beautiful yayy 😍

Just received my official little 0.3ml sample from Paco Rabanne. So far I’d have to say it is my FAVOURITE of the Olympéa line so far 😍👏🏻 It reminds me of the whole Delina Exclusif/Very Good Girl DNA. Almost a touch of Angel Nova in there too.. but with the saltiness of the original Olympéa. It’s very pleasing on the nose.. and for a Designer scent it ticks the boxes for me 😁👍🏻 Gave a nice sillage on the opening but not too impressed with the longevity after a couple of hours.. maybe it’s one you have to spray on a bit heavier. I’m getting a faint soft vanilla-y dry down now but I want more of the opening! So not overly blown away with the performance, but I find myself wanting another sample of it.. So even if it isn’t the best performing, it certainly has an addictive quality that has captivated me 😍. One to watch 😍👍🏻❤️

With over 300 purchases in the last 5 months. This is still the one that has gotten me the most compliments which is very surprising. First I have to say this is not a favourite at all nor is it in my top 20. But it sure is mass appealing coz the compliments chase me when I wear this. And I do not say that lightly. (I posted a clip from a live stream when someone came up to me and said I smelled expensive) to me it’s not “expensive” smelling at all, but it is wuite unique and projection is crazy! It does lean very floral to my nose and I do not suggest blind buying this as some friends who loved it on me hated it on themselves. Longevity is strong on me.

It's a beautiful, delicate rose scent with vanilla, slightly sweet sorbet and delicate black currant. The rose here is mature covered in dew, but delicate and light. A light, barely perceptible sweetness is felt from the beginning to the end. I think it's similar to "red shoe" of Good Girl, but Flora is softer. A beautiful, delicate and feminine scent. The longevity and sillage is quite good, enough for a day. It has some similarities with Olympea Blossom. I like the black flowers on the bottle , good idea and unusual! I like both the sent and the bottle!

I love blackcurrant and vanilla scents and this one doesn’t disappoint! I’d say I’m somewhere in between ‘like’ and ‘love:’ it was the fragrance I decided to try on my skin after spraying a bunch on test strips, and while I enjoy it, I’m not tripping over myself to buy a full bottle of it. Good for day or night and wearable year-round, although I do think it’s better suited for spring/fall than the cold of winter. I’m not a huge fan of the Olympea line but this one is pretty different from the rest imo

Now this... this is such a lovely fragrance. It’s sweet, floral, playful—maybe even with a splash of sexy. Olympea Flora opens with juicy berries and soft petals, and it settles into something warm, smooth, and totally addictive. My boyfriend always compliments my perfumes, but this one? He always notices. It’s flirty, feminine, and just the right mix of bold and pretty. If you love sweet florals with a confident, seductive twist, Olympea Flora is a must-try <3

Dare I say, this flanker is more interesting than the OG Olympéa, it is almost a reinterpretation of the perfume rather than a new take. This fragrance is blackcurrant and rose leaning to my nose. The vanilla-salt quality that endeared me to Olympéa is more of a background DNA rather than a marching band. A very interesting fruity floral is the main meat of the opening while a vanilla-pink floral is the dessert of the drydown. This is not a linear fragrance.

got the little sample recently and it smells lovely, very sweet and feminine. something i would get when it gets warmer. it almost smells like a cough sweet to me at the beginning. this is the first olympea perfume I've smelt so i dont know how it fairs to other perfumes in the line I'm definitely interested in trying the rest as well.

I like this but prefer the Olympea Blossom flanker from this line as it’s softer than this one and that’s more my style. But if you like sweet fruity florals there’s a good chance you’d enjoy this. It almost has a dessert wine vibe to me with the ripe sweetness of the fruits.
