Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes Olympic Amber is a Parfum launched in 2011, created by Ellen Covey. Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes's Olympic Amber carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Olympic Amber is a deeply divisive take on the classic amber, swerving into medicinal, smoky, and churchy territory. You'll either love its raw, resinous intensity or find it utterly unwearable. This ain't your grandma's cozy amber.

Scent Profile

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 long-lasting, moderate sillage and potent resinous, smoky profile make it a bit much for the office. However, its complex warmth and alluring depth are perfect for dates, cooler evening casual wear, and formal events where you want to make a statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This amber is a beast from the off, kicking in with a potent, almost medicinal resin blast that quickly evolves into a complex, smoky, woody core. Think church incense, dark woods, and the deep, slightly sweet warmth of labdanum and benzoin. It dries down to a rich, earthy patchouli and a gentle vanilla, maintaining its robust character throughout. It's less about sweet comfort and more about raw, ancient resins.
