Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Olympéa Intense EDP
This one's a divisive beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of amber-vanilla bomb, packing a serious punch. If you're after potent, salty sweetness with serious longevity, you're in for a treat, but be warned - it's not for the faint of heart or nose.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 348 Rabanne Olympea EDP
348 mirrors Olympea's salty-vanilla, ambergris-cashmere signature, but the effect is flatter and less luminous than Rabanne's shimmering original.
