Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Olivia lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Olympéa.
Maison Alhambra 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 $20 it costs 79% less than Olympéa.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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
What it is chasing: water jasmine and green mandarin up top, salted vanilla and ginger flower in the middle, sandalwood, ambergris and cashmere wood underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Olympéa.
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.
