Olympea

by Dominique Ropion , Anne Flipo , Loc Dong

Rabanne Olympea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Loc Dong. Olympea opens with Jasmine, Ginger, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Salt and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood, and Ambergris. Rabanne's Olympea carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not a blind buy. Olympea is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a surprisingly strong split in opinions, but still a cult classic for those who adore its salty vanilla aura.

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature for many, Olympea is best suited for social occasions like dates or casual outings where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. It's too bold for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport.

About

Imagine sun-warmed skin after a dip in the sea; Olympea captures that glorious salty sensation at its heart. It opens with a delicate balance of bright mandarin and spicy ginger, softened by lush jasmine. The famed salty vanilla takes centre stage, creamy and addictive, before settling into a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood, cashmere wood, and ambergris. It's a unique take on vanilla, far from traditional gourmand.
