    Bought blind and it won me over. This brand never disappoints; it matches up to the most expensive perfumes. I was thinking of the original Olympea, but I tried this dupe and it’s absolutely divine. It has luxury-level sillage, longevity, and projection. Exquisite for summer; it features coconut, vanilla, and a hint of bronzer, but that salty note balances it out, making it elegant, like a natural sea breeze. I recommend it if you like tropical scents but more natural ones at a ridiculous price. Total gem.

  2. A feminine fragrance inspired by Olympea with a bold identity. Its salty accord blended with jasmine and citrus makes it stand out. It has intensity and projection that make it memorable. I recommend it, though I suggest testing it first because, while I love it, it may not suit everyone.

  3. I liked it a lot. I don’t know the original, but it smells good without me knowing what it’s imitating. Longevity is around four hours and it’s not aggressive.

  4. There is something about this perfume that keeps me hooked, I think it is the sea salt note. I tried Olympea and found it weak, lacking personality, so I went in with zero expectations when trying Olivia, but surprise! I loved it and find it very versatile. I sense it with a moderate trail, staying close to the skin and more intimate for about 6 hours. For the price, I highly recommend it; now I will try to test Olivia Blossom.

  5. There’s something addictive about this, I think it’s the salty note. I tried the original Olympea and it was weak, lacking personality. Upon trying Olivia with zero expectations, I loved it! It’s very versatile. On my skin, it sits close to the skin, intimate, for about six hours. Given the price, it’s a strong recommendation. I’ll now try Olivia Blossom.

    Intense and I didn’t like it. There’s a note, I think ginger, that is sharp and repels me. It’s not a bad perfume nor is it the original, but it’s not my type. I don’t feel the mandarin that I adore; there’s something strong that drowns out the rest, must be the ginger. I can’t wear it.

    I went to try it without much enthusiasm, but it caught me by surprise. It is VERY similar to Olympea; for me, it is hard to notice the differences. The longevity is excellent, easily 8 hours or more. I love that salty caramel note and on my skin it smells luxurious.

    I like this fragrance, it has good projection and is an excellent dupe of Paco Rabanne’s Olympea. The price is unbeatable and highly recommended if you enjoy this perfume.

    I like it, good sillage and an excellent dupe of Paco Rabanne’s Olympea. The price is unbeatable. Highly recommended if you enjoy that perfume.

    I went in with zero expectations and was surprised. It’s very similar to Olympea, hard to notice the difference. Longevity is excellent, over eight hours. That salty caramel note is my favourite and on my skin it smells wonderful.

    If you like perfumes with salt, vanilla, and ginger, this is for you. Perfectly balanced. If you like the original Olympea, you’ll like this; it’s 90-95% similar. It’s very good and worth it for the price. I don’t recommend buying it blind because that salty note isn’t for everyone.

    You must try it if you love notes of sea salt, vanilla and ginger; they are perfectly balanced. If you like the original Olympea by Paco Rabanne, this will fit you like a glove. It is 90-95% identical to the original. It is very good and worth a try at this price, though I would not recommend buying it blindly as that salty note is not for everyone.
