Eden Perfumes No.491 Olympea is an Eau de Parfum. No.491 Olympea opens with Mandarin, Jasmine, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Salt and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, and Ambergris. Eden Perfumes's No.491 Olympea carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Inspired by Rabanne Olympea, No.491 recreates the salty-vanilla signature that made the original a modern classic - fresh water jasmine and green mandarin over a creamy salted vanilla heart - though it settles into a softer, less powerful cashmere-wood base than the designer version's assertive drydown.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.491 goes after one of the most recognisable modern releases in women's perfumery - Rabanne Olympea's salted-vanilla signature. It opens crisp and green, with water jasmine, green mandarin and ginger flower giving a fresh, slightly sharp lift that mirrors the original's luminous entrance. The heart is where the resemblance is unmistakable: vanilla and salt combine into that distinctive sweet-savoury contrast Olympea made famous, creamy but never cloying, with a faintly mineral edge that keeps it interesting. The base brings cashmere wood, ambergris and sandalwood for a soft, powdery-woody finish that supports the vanilla rather than overpowering it. Where this dupe pulls back from the original is intensity - Olympea has real heft and lasts most of a day on skin, while No.491 is softer and closer-wearing, fading to a gentle warmth within a few hours. That makes it a good fit for daytime wear or anyone who finds the original a touch strong, rather than a direct match for evening-level projection. Fresh, luminous and effortlessly modern, this suits confident, feminine daytime dressing - the office, errands, casual dates - where the original's powerhouse presence would be overkill.
