A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Aphrodite scores 4.7 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Olympéa.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Olympéa's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $70 per 100ml it costs 26% less than Olympéa — the 9th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.

Value2.9
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Paco Rabanne Olympéa is water jasmine and green mandarin at first, salted vanilla and ginger flower at its heart and sandalwood, ambergris and cashmere wood at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • water jasmine
  • green mandarin

Heart

  • salted vanilla
  • ginger flower

Base

  • sandalwood
  • ambergris
  • cashmere wood
Salty vanilla and jasmine over ambergris, addictive and distinctly moreish.
