Our verdict on Olivia: Favourite

This Olympea dupe is a bit of a gamble. Some find it a 'chemical mess' with a harsh opening, others love its salty-floral balance. If you can get past the initial screech, it settles into a beautiful, long-lasting scent that often outshines the original for a fraction of the cost.

Also Works:

While some find it strong, its decent longevity and moderate sillage make it versatile for many settings. It leans more towards casual and date wear due to its sensual, salty vanilla profile, but can be managed for office if applied sparingly. Its 'salty sun-kissed skin' vibe isn't ideal for vigorous sport.

About

Olivia opens with a bright spark of mandarin and ginger, quickly joined by lush jasmine and lily, giving a fresh floral start. The journey then takes a turn to the unusual, with a prominent salty accord mingled with creamy vanilla, evoking sun-warmed skin by the sea. The base is a soft landing of rich ambergris and smooth sandalwood, adding a touch of woody depth and marine sensuality.
