Olivier Durbano Turquoise is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Turquoise opens with Pine, Pink Pepper, Coriander, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Lily, Lotus, Seaweed, and Reed, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Amber, Honey, and Myrrh. Olivier Durbano's Turquoise carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Olivier Durbano's Turquoise is a divisive aquatic-incense hybrid. Some find it a remarkable, complex scent that captures the essence of a windswept, rocky seashore; others are put off by what they perceive as generic marine notes or synthetic undertones.

Composition

Timeline

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.

Its moderate sillage and fresh, yet complex, profile make it suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer weather during the day. While it has some unique elements, the aquatic notes can lean too informal for some office or formal settings.

About

Turquoise opens with a brisk, invigorating blend of pine and juniper, brightened by a hint of pink pepper and the resinous lift of frankincense. As it evolves, the fragrance dives into an unusual aquatic heart, where cool lotus and delicate lily intertwine with the peculiar, slightly briny scent of seaweed and green reeds. The drydown reveals a warm, honeyed amber base, deepened by the subtly sweet, hay-like nuances of immortelle and the mystical warmth of myrrh, creating a compelling contrast.
