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. Rabanne's Olympéa Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-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.

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.
