Its opening takes you all the way to the end; you notice it the moment you wear it. Its longevity is impressive, lasting days on clothes. I like it very much because I can feel it intensely throughout without it becoming overpowering.
I love the original, but I couldn’t stand this version. They gave me a sample in a shopping centre and it got so close to my nose that it hurt my face and head for an hour. It became too strong; I couldn’t even distinguish any notes; it felt heavy and horrible. Too intense and I don’t think it’s even jokingly suitable for summer or hot places.
As the name suggests, intense… just a few drops and you’ll be scented all day.
I love it! Smells like coconut and vanilla wrapped in amber; I don’t detect the salt at all. The opening is very strong, intense for 30 to 60 minutes and can overwhelm people around you if you’re in a closed space (be careful with spraying). After an hour, it stops being intrusive and I think that’s when I enjoy it most. Lasts about 8 hours on skin but stays on clothes for days.
What happened to this flanker? I absolutely hated it… it smells strange. I’m not sure if it’s the salt and vanilla blend that makes it smell so odd.
I tried it today and I love the Olympea, but this Intense is even better. I absolutely adore it!
I love the original Olympea and this one has also delighted me greatly. It’s almost identical, but seems sweeter. Both last a very long time and are noticeable, which I love because lately my skin neutralises perfumes, so having a favourite that really stands out is the best of the best.
I’m not very familiar with the Olympea line, but today I tried the Intense and it reminds me of Scandal by JPG. They don’t share notes, but in both (at least for the first hour), I perceive a sweet orange that I love.
I had very high expectations because the original Olympea is one of my favourites right now. But this doesn’t quite convince me. I’m not sure if it’s the amber or the salty vanilla that brings back memories of sweets from my childhood, giving it an artificial and cheap touch. It’s very potent and I don’t think it’s for everyone. It has a brutal longevity and a huge trail. I know many are fascinated by it, so I recommend trying it to see if it’s for you.
The official website paints an incredibly sensual olfactory universe: salty vanilla, bergamot with pepper, white amber and grey that caress the skin. It’s carnality at its peak. A dual oriental scent: a floral vibration of bergamot, orange blossom and white pepper, and an addictive power with vanilla, ambergris and vibrant cedar. In the end, it seems to have more notes than Fragrantica lists.
I don’t like it at all. I tried it and even got a bit dizzy. I find it extremely wintery and don’t associate it with young girls. It seems very heavy, with lots of vanilla, dark and sweet. Sometimes I don’t understand people: do they like it for the scent or because it lasts all day? It’s not rich for me, but it has good projection and excellent longevity.
It’s a very intense perfume, suitable only for winter. It’s excellent for longevity and projection, but I couldn’t handle the salt note; it gave me a headache. I don’t recommend buying without testing it on your skin first.
I have mixed feelings. I read so many glowing reviews that I decided to try it. The opening was very invasive, aggressive, strong and ‘mature’ (it reminded me of ladies over 50). It’s probably the salt note. It has tremendous projection and hours of longevity; as it evolves, the aggression disappears and dries down to amber and vanilla, which I love. It’s a creamy, delicious vanilla close to the skin. I prefer the final phase and will wear it occasionally, but I suggest spraying it carefully: it’s extremely potent and the opening notes can be harsh.
Love at first sniff… an incredible aroma if you like vanilla! It’s sweet but not overpowering. I used to wear Olympéa regularly and already liked it, but this surpasses it by far. It’s a wonder and 100% recommended. I’m sticking with this Olympéa option.
I own it and think it’s excellent. It has powerful projection and longevity. It’s not for the timid; both men and women have complimented me wearing it. No surprise, it’s strong and noticeable from a distance. It’s definitely one of my favourites. Very sweet and salty, with a strong amber presence. It’s the flanker I like the most. It reminds me of sea sand; although I see it as an autumn-winter scent, I’ll try it on the beach reading by the sea, as it smells of hot sand. It’s a wonder! Alongside Ultraviolet (already discontinued), they are my favourite Paco Rabanne scents. The price hurts the wallet, but given the performance, it’s worth it.
It is gourmand! Saying it smells like Alien is a lie; Alien is floral and this is a milk caramel. A sweet scent like the chewy bits of dulce de leche, milky, with a tiny touch of salt. It is original and delicious, with good sillage, for people who are confident and have a strong character. Shy girls will find it intrusive, but for them there is the XS of Dama. It lasts well, after an hour and a half it starts to smell faintly of wood, total 3 or 4 hours. It is the only Paco Rabanne with its own personality, nothing like the vulgar XS from the corner. It has class. Sensational for resistant skin. If you are shy or feel like a child, it is not for you.
As I love the original Olympea so much, I wanted to try the Intense. I liked it, but it hasn’t dethroned it. It is super sweet, woody, ambered, dark and heavy. On the opening it smells very of orange blossom, but on the dry-down it is less floral than the original. It’s like a jar of Olympea jam left open and having lost some notes, leaving it saltier and sweeter. It is linear, except for the first half-hour with lots of orange blossom. It has presence, high sillage and lasts 8-9 hours. It is intense, not suitable for diabetics, nocturnal, winter and occasional because it becomes monotonous. I liked it, but the original has more personality. Smell 7/10, Longevity 9/10, Sillage 10/10, Value for money 7/10, Versatility 5/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy it again? Probably not.
I love this page. I want to buy it, but I ran into the fear that people might say it smells like ‘old lady’. Oh dear! It must be frustrating to create a scent and have someone describe it like that. I am interested in salty notes; the Womanity by Mugler made me want to try it. Due to the pandemic, I will have to buy it blind. I am so excited!
It is an exquisite fragrance, but only the name is. I have the classic and the legendary… I insist: only the name. I expected more punch, but it wasn’t like that 😔. In Argentina there is a brand that makes dupes and the ‘Lovely’ has more persistence than this version.
OMG, what a delicious fragrance! That touch of amber is pure luxury and the dry-down is unbeatable. I already own it and want to buy two more bottles 🤩😍. If you love amber, buy it without hesitation. Climate: Winter. Longevity: 4/5. Sillage: excellent, 4/5.
I have been testing it for a month and I love it. It is sweet and intense, but with the salt note very marked. Nevertheless, it feels like a rich ambered vanilla. Very sweet but nothing childish. I recommend testing it first, because the salt note can be too strident. I love it, especially for the cold; it is one of those sweets that wraps you around. Recommended only if you are into sweet and intense perfumes.
Basically, it is an intense red fruit in a creamy atmosphere with salty points associated with a savoury vanilla at the start. Then, in a few minutes, it opens into sweet florals, nectar, and pollen of freesias and jasmines, entering a heart phase of about 30 minutes with peonies and apricots accentuated by mango and frangipani. After two hours, it already evolves into something indulgent but classic and elegant, declining into a mix of red fruits, florals, and light woods sustained by jasmine. It is a complex fragrance, with excellent evolution, nothing linear, personal, different, and intense, more winter-like. I loved it, it is what I was looking for, very long-lasting and present wherever you are.
It is one of my favourites; I have been wearing it for years and never get tired of it. It is exquisite, sweet, vanilla, and ambered with a very special salty touch. It is intense, has presence, and leaves a trail. The longevity is very good on skin and clothes (it has lasted up to six hours on skin and several days on clothes). For me, it is the autumn-winter version of the classic Olympea, although as it is not extremely sweet, it also goes well in spring and summer (on days that are not very hot). As it is intense and has that particular salty aroma, it is not for everyone. I love it and it is a staple. Edit: I don’t know if they reformulated it, but the last one I bought leaves much to be desired in longevity and intensity. It does not have the same strength and lasts at most four hours. A disappointment.
I must say that I love it. It is like feeling a juicy ripe plum dissolving in the mouth, provoking a desire to keep smelling it. It is sweet but not vanilla-heavy, fruity, and very sexy for me. It has been a long time since a perfume made me feel so good. After a few hours, it settles into amber, subtle, creamy, soft, and feminine.
I doubt it has only three notes, but I have loved it. By god, years without remembering that precious Olympea scent that conquers. It starts sweet, almost cloying or nauseating, but then changes to a sweet type of whipped cream or milky, like Boum Candyland, probably due to the tart grape from Intense, with Tonka vanilla sweeter than the classic. Finally, that hyper-sexual trail characteristic: ambergris and salt that recalls the warmth of the beach. I also detect coriander, a bouquet that reminds me of Floral Shock, a sweet apricot, plums, and a powdery touch of chocolate. It is oriental, with sweet woods. I want it in the collection <3.
Finally, I bought it; you won’t believe it, it is my first Olympea in the collection. I bought it at a good price hoping to recover what I missed from the classic before the reformulation. I tried Legend and Intense in-store: Legend was overwhelmed by the sweetness, but Intense remains intense <3.
I reviewed it in July, with winter in Buenos Aires. I used it sparingly because it is very intense. Now, with summer, it evolves quickly: it abandons the beautiful opening for an accentuated intensity of cedar and ambergris, losing warmth and increasing the pepper. Something similar happened with Twilly Poudré; heat does not suit them well. In the cold, they maintain body and evolve slowly. It is a strong resinous extract, floral-free, unisex, and long-lasting. In summer, perhaps a few drops combined with sweet florals like Luna (D&G) for tenderness, or with Revé (Van Cleef) for a touch of peach or pear. It is super concentrated, has a good price, and is often on promotion. Will it be discontinued?
I was disappointed not by the scent, which I definitely love, but by the lack of originality. I bought it blindly because I like the original Olympea, but it smells almost identical. The only difference is the amber, which makes it more suitable for cold weather, whereas the other is fresher. The longevity does not exceed four hours. A lovely aroma, but I don’t think it is necessary to own both flankers.
It is the autumn-winter version of the classic Olympea: darker, more intense, and ambered, though it retains that sweet and salty touch of its older sister. Ideal for cold days and nights; when I wear it, I receive many compliments.
For me, it’s a disaster. Although it promises jasmine, vanilla, and sea salt, on my skin the jasmine is so heavy and invasive that it gives me nausea. Only the salty vanilla lingers in the background, but the jasmine dominates everything. My husband said it smells like an older woman in church, and at 20, that is not a good review. A resounding no for me.
I tried it and fell in love at first sight. I felt some dark fruits, I don’t know if plums or red fruits, with amber, salt and vanilla. It is stronger than Olympea and I like it. Likewise, I feel it can get tiring.
This is a perfume you must definitely test before buying. In my case it is unbearable; every time I tried to use it it gave me a headache, and that even though strong and invasive fragrances are my favourites. I don’t know what this has, but I cannot wear it.
It is the middle ground between Olympea and Olympea Legend. Olympea Intense reaches that ambered quality, super vanilla-heavy and almost honeyed sweet of Olympea Legend, but adding the floral points that Olympea Traditional offers us. If Olympea is white and Olympea Legend is black, Olympea Intense would be a slightly darker grey, as it is sweet like the solo but without being as cloying as Legend. Describing it a bit more: it is super ambered, vanilla-heavy, you can feel that little saltiness, which together with that neroli potentiates that sweetness and creaminess. The pepper adds a tiny fresh touch but it is very subtle. In the end you can feel a bit of the wood it declares, but in this perfume amber and vanilla definitely predominate.
Amber vanilla with a dark touch and a very light floral base, the pepper gives it a subtle spicy kick. It is addictive, my girlfriend just bought it and I loved it.
I love Paco Rabanne perfumes, I have had the luck to find this discontinued gem. It has the DNA of its brother Olympea Classic, but here it comes with more intensity, more creaminess, more power and even more personality. It has a wonderful duration and an impactful projection, it is undoubtedly a very sensual, addictive, nocturnal and noticeable perfume. You need a lot of personality to wear it, perfumon! Elegant too, all those notes have created a perfume that defines my personality, different and striking. Very intense, unisex to my olfactory point. 10, 10 and 10.
This perfume surprised me. One day my cables were tangled so I jumped into the adventure and bought it blind, the extreme sport of many perfume lovers. To my pleasant surprise, I liked Olympea Intense a lot. It is proudly gourmand and boasts of it, but that touch of salt gives it a perfect balance, so that at least for me it doesn’t overwhelm me; on the contrary, I want more and more, the gluttony takes over my being, hey, make me yours Olympea Intense. It is sweet, comforting, warm, embracing. On the first spray you smell sweet, salty, and caramelised vanilla; when the sweetness calms down a bit, you enjoy the neroli which blends very well with the rest and in the end you are invaded by some nice woods and marine and talc tones. Although it may seem madness, it is a blessed madness where every mistake harmonises very well, its chords accompany each other and give a splendid result. Duration over 10 hours on skin, high to moderate trail.
I usually delete my reviews when I put too much heart into them; I try to be objective as they are expensive products. But oh, there are few perfumes that give me a heady, almost drug-like effect; I feel them in my head and make me happy without even thinking about the scent, is there some secret chemistry? Olympea Intense did the same to me, even with its Chinese replica. I searched and managed to find this discontinued 2016 version; with fear I sprayed it and although the scent was different from what I remembered (I knew it as a clone), the moment it settled and projected, I knew I had hit the mark. Without a doubt, the Olympea line must be known; Intense is the gourmand flanker alongside Legend, sadly discontinued. It is sweet, an Olympea with its mineral purity obscured, mixing with a liquid amber caramel and very vanilla-heavy. On skin it is a raw sweetness, intense vanilla 🤷🏻♀️; I understand some may find it unisex, ‘muscular’ and talc-heavy, but it adheres well to the pH and on the trail it smells more sophisticated and noble. On its sweetest side it is almost a Pure XS, but without the popcorn note. Very winterly, not as fresh as the traditional, it can be cloying if you don’t adore it, I don’t recommend it on the neck, this flanker does project. It is like the brother of Legend in intensity. I recommend testing before as it is a perfumon, a bomb, ‘a beast’. It doesn’t leave you indifferent, I don’t know if to use it daily like the traditional one 😅, I love it but wow! Even in its intensity I feel a subtle fruity base note, like the plum of Legend but not alcoholic and very hidden, it reminds me of the fruit in Belle, that fruit becomes soapy, passing from a powerful sweet to something very sexy in my opinion.
Here we have a full-on amber floral aroma. The stars are the neroli and bergamot, which I can smell throughout almost the entire evolution, accompanied by tiare. There are also spices, woods, and lots of vanilla with the salty touch of the classic Olympea. Is it something new? No, it has much of the classic, only here it delivers on its promise: it is more intense. I liked it, but not enough to buy the bottle.
I only know this through Bagues clones and I adore it. It is incredibly sweet, ambered, and addictive. I understand it’s not for everyone and can be cloying, but if you like sweet, powerful scents with a trail, this is for you. I see it as a special occasion, evening fragrance. What a pity they’ve discontinued it 💔
The scent is lovely but it overwhelms me. When they say ‘intense’, they literally mean intense. I sprayed it on my clothes and it lasted for weeks, quite literally.
