The review
Olympéa scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Olympéa.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 76% less than Olympéa.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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. Palermo Perfumes 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
