Olfactive Studio 2016 EDP
Close Up
Olfactive Studio Close Up is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Annick Menardo. Close Up opens with Spicy Notes, Coffee, and Cherry, settles into a heart of White Tobacco, Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Olfactive Studio's Close Up carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This one's a proper challenge. You'll either love its unique, complex cherry and tobacco heart or recoil from its animalic, off-kilter opening. Definitely not for a blind buy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its intensity and the often-mentioned animalic opening make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines on dates and in formal settings, especially in cooler weather, where its unique depth can be appreciated.
