Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Olympea

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Paco Rabanne's Olympea (2015) - the Loc Dong, Beatrice Piquet and Dominique Ropion salt-vanilla-ambergris composition that became Rabanne's modern goddess-feminine signature, here translated into a green mandarin opening over salt-vanilla heart and ambergris-cashmere close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening feminine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Olympea

Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not a blind buy. Olympea is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a surprisingly strong split in opinions, but still a cult classic for those who adore its salty vanilla aura.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Formal

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature for many, Olympea is best suited for social occasions like dates or casual outings where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. It's too bold for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport.
