A long shot

The review
A long shot. That is where Mountainous lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Olympéa.
Perfume Parlour 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
It is $83 per 100ml.
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 Perfume Parlour 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
