Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Olympéa Aqua EDT
Olympéa takes a swim: rainwater and citrus up top, peach and orange blossom in the middle, salty vanilla and ambergris at the bottom. Cool, with a gourmand twist. Made for hot days and the beach.
Statement
Our Verdict - Elis Water For Women EDP
Petitgrain and bergamot with a sea-salt aquatic feel, drying to vanilla, cashmere wood and ambergris. Inspired by Paco Rabanne Olympea Aqua, it is a fresh, salty-sweet scent for warm days.
