Rabanne Olympéa Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Olympéa Intense opens with Grapefruit Blossom, Orange Blossom, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Salt, Amber, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Ambergris. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Rabanne's Olympéa Intense carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of amber-vanilla bomb, packing a serious punch. If you're after potent, salty sweetness with serious longevity, you're in for a treat, but be warned - it's not for the faint of heart or nose.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Imagine indulging in a rich, buttery caramel drizzled with sea salt, then imagine it's been left out in the sun, slowly deepening and warming. Olympéa Intense weaves together a syrupy vanilla and rich amber, given a surprising kick by a prominent salty accord. Hints of orange blossom and pepper peek through, adding a touch of floral spice to this sweet, almost gourmand, concoction. It dries down to a warm, woody whisper, clinging to the skin for hours.
