Olympea Legend by Rabanne

It’s a super potent fragrance with excellent longevity. On my skin, the salt and vanilla notes are very prominent, creating a distinctive scent I’d never tried before. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, it’s one of the richest scents I’ve experienced. Men have complimented it greatly; it seems to have a noticeable effect on them. You must moderate the sprays; I overdid it and I think it unsettled some people. The scent became stronger over time, presumably due to maceration, so it can be overwhelming, very sweet and powerful. DO NOT BUY BLINDLY. What a pity it’s discontinued, but I managed to get two bottles after it was removed from my country. I would buy it again; I want to have it with me for several years.

I love it. The first time I rejected it because it overwhelmed me, but the second time I liked it, and it’s one of my favourites. The combination of salt and vanilla is unlike anything else.

A real bombshell; I was gifted it and fell for it instantly; it lasts a long time on the skin, at least two days, leaving a scent of peach and honey. For me, it’s one of the favourites.

I bought it blind and didn’t like it at all. I thought it would be gourmand or sweet, but no! First, it smelled of old things, and then that salty or sandy note ruined it for me. It also smells of alcohol, although I’ve had it for four months. The positive is that many people have complimented it and it lasts days (approx 2 or 3), with a powerful trail; with two sprays, you’re well enough scented. I wear it only because others like it, but I don’t much. Since it doesn’t convince me, I try to mix it with sweet creams or perfumes I do like. Does anyone suggest a body splash or perfume to combine with it?

This perfume was spectacular, simply perfect. It hurts that it’s discontinued; it would be ideal to have one always. Very sweet at the start, super fruity, pure plum. Then comes that delicious vanilla that lingers on the skin until you shower. Very potent; two sprays are enough. Its aroma seemed very original to me. It’s a love-hate perfume. I’d say it’s the one that has complimented me the most; it was very noticeable. I miss it so much!

When I first bought it, I wasn’t a fan; the scent sounded strange to me. I left it untouched for months, and when I returned to it, it was the most flattering fragrance I’ve ever had. I’m running out of the bottle and I’m heartbroken. To me, it smells like a heavy vanilla dessert with salty chocolate and caramel, but it has something repellent, as if the plum is very ripe, almost going bad. The longevity and sillage are bombastic, even on linen fabric.

On my skin, the plum and vanilla dominate, and I sense an undeclared chocolate. The salty touch is very strong. It’s rich; I bought it blind, risking it because I don’t think everyone will like it. I’m not sure if it’s my imagination, but I applied it a week ago after showering and I still feel a breeze. The longevity is out of this world; it’s delicious and ideal for cold climates. With four sprays, I have it for the whole day… be careful with the amount, it lasts a long time. If you don’t like sweets, this could be cloying.

WHAT A PERFUME!!! It’s discontinued; I don’t understand why. I was lucky to buy the last one the perfumerie had. The projection is brutal; I sprayed it on my arm to test it and it literally overpowered my perfume and the ones I had tried. It’s everything I like in a fragrance. A unique and indescribable sweetness, just right… nothing missing or excessive. What luck I have!!!

Among my favourites, it smells deliciously of plum and peach, my absolute favourite notes. Almost any perfume with them I like, but this goes further: it has lots of tonka bean, lactonic notes, and is extremely sweet. The ginger and salt come in to moderate it and give it body. It’s exquisite for my nose, but not for everyone. The salt gives it a different aroma that I love, but many people dislike it. If you like plum, peach, or tonka bean, buy it blind. If you prefer fresh or oriental scents, don’t even get close.

This perfume has the Olympea DNA; I feel that salt I hate so much. It’s fruity, salty, solar, and sweet, strange… it’s a plum tart with salt. That salt is unbearable to me; I hate the note, and no matter how little I feel it, I feel it three times stronger. It’s a good perfume, intense, but it’s not for me.

I bought it blindly ages ago and thought it smelled horrible, like sour or rotten milk, agreeing with others. I tried to like it but it was impossible; I’ve already sold it. It’s not for blind buys, nor if you aren’t a gourmand fan; the notes of plum, apricot, and salt create a very strange scent. I like Olympea, but this one doesn’t work for me at all.

I tried the classic Olympea and although it’s lovely, it didn’t win me over, so I gifted it away. I was hesitant about the flankers, but I wanted to try this one for its fruity-floral mix. For me, the plum and blackcurrant with the florals are fleeting. What I notice most is vanilla, tonka bean, and a salty touch. It’s very long-lasting; I only wear it in winter. I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly because that blend of vanilla, sand, and salt is very peculiar.

It has presence, projection, and that gourmand touch that has everything, except that they’ve discontinued it. They say it was due to some issue with the composition; I don’t know if that’s true… When this runs out, I’ll have to find another fragrance that captivates me as much, what a pity. I felt like a dessert with legs, haha. I have a refill of this majestic fragrance that did great chemistry with my skin; what a delicious blackcurrant gourmand, I smell all the notes and this dessert accompanies me all day. The salt note is lower than in the Intense, but it still lingers. Of all the flankers, I’m sticking with Legend alone. I chose this perfume without knowing its scent, just based on YouTube comments, and I fell in love.

My favourite perfume in the world; I’m almost out and desperate to find a dupe; I don’t understand why they discontinued it. The first thing I smell is vanilla, and although it’s not listed, I get a strong scent of coconut, but a lovely coconut, not synthetic. It’s earned me thousands of compliments and lasts about 5-6 hours on me. I wear it in winter or summer because I’m not very sensitive to scents and this aroma fascinates me. I hope I can find a similar scent one day.

It’s my favourite of the Olympea line; what a pity they’ve discontinued it… A super gourmand scent with impeccable longevity; on my skin, it lasts until the next day. It reminds me of an exquisite honey and plum tart. I love it!
