I'm afraid this didn't work for me. It had an undercurrent of bug spray smell that stayed during the lifetime of the fragrance. Several reviewers mentioned that the scent didn't last very long and I agree, thankfully, roughly around 4 hours. I would suggest a try before you buy.
Love the scent. Got many compliments. Wish it lasted longer.
I love it!!!
Love this perfume, so does my husband! Will be getting a full sized. Wish it had a longer longevity but not bad at all
I do really like the smell of this but I feel like it doesn't last very long. Seems like I can't even smell it after just putting it on.
This is one of my all-time favorite perfumes! Sweet and a hint of spice!
Smells a bit more mature than I expected, something I could see my mother wearing. It has a nice hint of spice to it, while still remaining elegant.
Love it
Really pretty unique vanilla. Love the salty touch.
Love the smell of this perfume ! Will definitely order again. Very mild, not strong unless you put an over abundance on.
It's ok, but also strange. To me, it smells "green" and kind of earthy. I like it, but not enough to keep wearing it.
Not too overpowering with a floral smell which I like. Very subtle smell that definitely needs reapplied after a couple hour of wearing. But other than that, I really like it!
It smells a bit sweet and musky the scent only lasts a few hours which is unfortunate but I do not hate it
Just not for me
Smelled like an old lady.
Nice smell not overbearing slightly seductive. I do enjoy it it's a good work fragrance if you want to leave an impression.
A lovely fragrance. At first sniff I thought it wasn’t going to become a favorite but it’s growing on me and I like wearing it a lot!
The description sounds like I would love it, but there's one note in there that just ruins it for me, I wish I know what it was. It's not bad, I just won't wear it and I'm doing my first return/exchange on this one. For reference, I love vanilla/fruity/floral/almond scents
Let me start by saying I like a heavy fragrance. This is a heavy fragrance. It's sweet, and I don't usually love sweet, but it's not too sweet. There is a little spice to it as well. I do like it and will wear it. It has lasted pretty well on me as well. It goes on strong and mellows some, but it stayed pretty strong on me for several hours.
I can tell this would be fabulous on someone else. It’s just too in your face musky on me.
Love my new favorite scent sexy sweet seductive can’t find it almost anywhere
This is one of my favorite fragrences EVER. It works with my skin chemistry so well, it's amazing & I bought the lotion to go with it & omg let me tell yall, the lotion is BOMB! So fragrent, made the parfum last longer, project better, brought out the warmness a little more, just perfection! This pulls, salty sweet vanilla, sandlewood, some jasmine, light ginger, & a hint of orange. U also get like a caramel scent...just gorgeous, on me atleast! It last for about 3-6hrs, good for late summer, cool spring days or nights, fall & winter, so its easily wearable, not too offensive. I get so many complaints when wear this! If I layer, I layer with the olympea lotion(which I also layer with other scents b/c its SO GOOD), then layer with Nishane Hundered silent ways, flowerbomb Nectar, paco rabanne lady one million,Guerlain Double Spirituese, Dua-Jasmine affair,instant crush by mancera & the warm fragrences bath & body works offers like fairytale, in the stars(fav to pair), in the night, & snowflakes & cashmere. It pairs well with so many! Worth the buy imho.
Smells like a salty Carmel with a slight floral base, very sexy and perfect date night scent.
Great scent! Good for transitioning from late summer to early fall in my opinion.
Amazing
I love this perfume!! It has the right mixture of vanilla and sandalwood that really works well with my skin!!
This is one of the few perfumes I've tried that made me slightly nauseous. I like ginger, vanilla, and jasmine so I thought I'd like this. Something about the ginger and Jasmine combination didn't agree with me. I couldn't keep it and ended up sending it back.
This can be worn year-round, but it especially shines in summer with it's salty and sweetness. Longevity is great, projection is great, truly an intoxicating scent. One of my husband's favorites as well on me.
Smells great! Really sweet and just a teeny bit of spiciness…probably the ginger in it.
Too strong for me. Not my jam. Husband hated it.
My fave
Smells remarkably close to Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom on the first spray, and then dries down to something less immature. Maybe it's just my skin chemistry or something, but I don't dislike the scent.
Lovely Scent!… floral and vanilla at the end wish it lasted longer.
Beautiful fragrance. Very powdery. I feel this would be cloying in the summer, but beautiful in the cooler months.
Very powdery. Would not have chosen if I knew this. It's not terrible but not my favorite.
I don't know what it is about this scent but I really enjoy it. I normally do not care for florals but this one is sexy.
Was not my cup of tea at all!!!!!!!
Has a nice scent.
Just an okay scent for me, don’t love it, but also don’t hate it.
Powerful, Bold and Demanding!
I hate this it smell really bad to me.
My favorite scent so far. Gives me beach vibes. Normally, I steer clear of florals but this one works for me. It’s sexy and unique but not so much you can’t wear it during the daytime or at work. I wanted to purchase the full bottle and use my points, but it’s sold out on this site. I may try ordering it through a different fragrance site.
Love the salty sweetness of this fragrance! I feel sexy but also so innocent when I wear it. One of my favorites and a must have!
Smells delicious. Lovely gourmand
LOVE IT! It almost smells unisex/masculine at first, but it smells so sexy and amazing. The scent is not overpowering, but definitely noticeable. My husband and friends have all complimented this one.
OMG! Smells so good. Plenty of compliments. You can smell it on your collar until you wash the shirt.
I didn't like this at first spray on my skin, the salt was too strong, but the next day I sprayed in on my clothes and it was different. I get less salt and more caramel and vanilla on clothes, compared to on my skin. I think this will be an on clothes perfume for me. I am keeping this one, its not mind-blowing amazing,..maybe because of the floral aspect, but it is worth keeping and wearing.
Very very strong. Gave me a headache honestly. Definitely is not for me.
Was hoping to experience the salty vanilla notes that I had read about, but on me this was overwhelmingly white floral that never dried down to a gourmand. If your skin chemistry tends to amplify white florals like jasmine or tuberose, it may be one to skip.
Great sent! Light and nice
I love this scent! I have been looking for it for some time now.
If I had to have one fragrance for the rest of my life it would be this! A year round sweet sexy fruity and rich fragrance. I love it!
Amazing!!! Cant get enough of it. Bought the bottle??
Love this scent!!
I think my nose is weird...I got a very strong floral smell from this. I gravitate more towards musky/ woody or sweeter fragrances. The dry down does become sweeter but I can still smell the jasmine very strongly! Was hoping for that salty vanilla that people rave about. I’m going to keep it and layer it with other things to see if I can find a place for it tho :)
Almost sickly sweet as it dries down, but if you like smelling like the candy aisle, this will be perfect for you
I really like this. With my body chemistry it smells like vanilla and melons.
It's ok. Smells like an older woman fragrance
Just ok
Love this scent! I traveled with it and did not regret choosing this one out my whole collection. It's warm and perfect for colder weather. I will probably wear it on summer nights as well. Lasts long on my skin and clothes.
The smell is different to anything I have in my collection. I truly love the salt note in this perfume. It gives it such an amazing smell. The dry down is so beautiful as well. I'll be purchasing a full size of this perfume.
It opens with bright floral jasmine. After it mellows I get the vanilla and salt notes and caramel accord. These are the notes according to Fragrantica which I think are accurate: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin, and Ginger flower; middle notes are Vanilla and Salt; base notes are Cashmere Wood, Ambergris, and Sandalwood. I am a vanilla fan and enjoy Black Opium, but this is a more toned down vanilla without the strong coffee note. I actually think I prefer this and it's more versatile, appropriate for day and night. Very feminine and understated sexy.
A sunny floral with a hint of edible juiciness that really reminds me of YSL Libre actually. If you like one, then you will like the other! I can see why it’s so popular.
I was really hoping to like this fragrance, but I'm not sure. It comes off as a strong alcohol smell at first spray. Longevity is moderate and
I absolutely love this fragrance. It's mildly sweet and lightly aquatic. It lasts longer than many more expensive fragrances, so it's a great value, as well. This one is a mood lifter for me. Suitable for almost anyone.
I remember smelling this in stores or something with a similar name and liking it so I tried it here, it’s very strong at first spray and just has a very perfumey smell like the smell you get overwhelmed with when you walk into the perfume section. It’s kinda sweet but also kinda gives me a headache. I’m not gonna finish the bottle, and I’ll probably give it to my little sister to try.
This smell when you spray it comes off as sweet. But on me it just smelled like nothing I can put into words. It's just not for me.
I was a little worried about smelling salty but I think the salt just balances out the sweetness because it doesn't really smell salty to me. It's a nice gourmand fragrance I liked enough to order a full bottle of but I did need to touch it up so didn't last all day on me...still worth having though.
The bottle came opened for some reason I tried the perfume since I got it all over my hands but I really liked the smell. I am not a vanilla lover but enjoy the scent. I am glad I gave it a try.
I realllly wanted to love this scent, but it did not love me. I love the salty vanilla but it made me physically sick starting with a headache then nausea. My body just didn't do well with this one.
I had heard such great things about this one but for some reason it wasn't for me. I'm not sure what note in there didn't work with my skin or my nose, but unfortunately it wasn't a success.
ive been dying to try this fragrance because I had heard so many great things but I had never smelt it. I loved it, very sweet and oriental but warm
I can’t quite put my finger on what I didn’t like about it... but it wasn’t suited for me.
The smell wS warm and inviting. I was pleasantly surprised. Had lots of compliments
Not very exciting or different. Lots of vanilla but lacking that twist I was hoping for with the salt. Kinda boring and forgettable.
A clean floral vanilla. One spray goes a long way. I was hoping it would a warmer fragrance. Its ok, not my favorite.
Lovely salty-sweet vanilla fragrance.
I LOVE THIS PERFUME! I will be buying a large bottle when this sample is gone.
There’s something about this fragrance that I really wanted to like. Maybe it’s because of all the rave reviews it gets online. Unfortunately I do not like it at all, I think that the salty note is heavy and unpleasant. I tried wearing it to bed and I had to get up and scrub it off. It truly did nothing for me.
I like this perfume. I’m searching for a signature smell. It’s a pleasant smell but it’s not the it factor I’m looking for however it’s powerful with one spray.
It has a clean aqua jasmine smell, not my favorite. Way too floral for my liking. I am 40. Gave it to my 21 year daughter. She wasn't too impressed either, but she will use it up, at least. First time trying Paco Rabanne. Not too impressed. It doesn't last more than 3 hours
This is a very fresh and long lasting perfume. One of my favorites. Id say its juicy and refreshing. I wear it at work and every now and again when the scent hits me I feel uplifted. It lasts me about 9 or 10 hours.
At first it smelt a little mawmawish and spicy but once it sits on you for a couple of minutes it smells amazing.
This is such a lovely fruity smooth scent. I absolutely love this scent. It's like a mild little fruit cocktail. The sillage is moderate. It's definitely a sweet gourmand as well. I would definitely like to buy a regular size bottle.
Lovely fragrance for every day. It has light silage and does not offend others.
strong at first, but settles down.
Not unique but very nice
This is good. It’s not unique. It’s just a simple, sweet fragrance consisting of a salty-sweet vanilla.
Nice fragrance, lasts a bit longer than others. Don't be put off by its initial strength as it becomes more subtle in a short period of time. Enjoyed this one.
This is a beautiful fragrance. All year round appropriate and it is lovely. I did want something that would be a bit more unique and the staying power is only ok not great. I'm stil going to purchase a full size because this is the perfect fragrance for when you're not sure which one to pick. A definite crown pleaser.
It’s a beautiful fragrance. I expected it to be a little different but the overall impression is good. I enjoy wearing it.
Olympea reminds me of a softer, more feminine version of Thierry Mugler Womanity. Something about the way the musk comes through reminds me of the salty caviar aspect of Womanity. I like Womanity but I find it incredibly hard to wear. Olympea strikes the balance of being different but more “appealing to the masses.” If that makes sense. I generally do not like musk so I’m surprised I like this. The vanilla is definitely present but not In your typical vanilla style. Overall I really like it.
Love the smell, however it is faint and doesn’t last. It’s not like Million for women.
This is a nice salty vanilla. More gourmand than Vanilla Vibes imo but I would put them in the same category. Doesn't project or last very long but a great summer scent.
Love this perfume, my new favorite scent. I will be purchasing a bigger bottle!
It's an aquatic fresh vanilla scent. Very elegant and refined. Perfect for casual and evening affair. I enjoyed wearing it in the summer.
Gorgeous! A must have in your perfume collection.
Got this fragrance for my wife and she loves it. It doesn't project much but that's not a problem.
I like it. Subtly gourmand, kind of caramelly or vanilla smelling. Understated sexy, not too in-your-face, could still be a day scent. The salty note makes it interesting, freshens it up a bit.
I'm 29, I feel this scent is for more mature ladies. But it smells amazing a bit too sweet for my liking. It smells like powdery vanilla. The undertones smell really nice. I love it. Definitely an evening wear. Not a workout or sporty scent lol that's very misleading. Im only deducting 1 star because the scent chart is misleading lol and it was too sweet but something i can get used to :)
I found this fragrance to be generic. It struck my nose as overly sweet, too strong, and artificial.
Doesn't last very long - after a few hours I can only smell it if I place my skin close to my nose. It should be noted that I'm from Florida with constant heat and humidity. With that being said, it's a very clean scent that is mild enough for the work office. I like to use it half way through the day at work for a quick refresher - makes me have that "just out of the shower" feel. Personally, I like the way it reacts with my skin chemistry and becomes a bit more fruity/flowery with time.
I absolutely LOVE this! I just received this in my monthly subscription and can’t stop smelling myself, lol. A few of my favorite influencers on YouTube love this, so I had to try it. I will definitely be buying a full bottle in the near future and it will be one of my signature scents. A very sweet, pretty, feminine scent.
Scent is intoxicating.
I love it but wish it lasted a little longer.. Lasted about 3 hrs on me
I love the smell of this when I spray it in the air or on paper. However, with my skin chemistry it just does not work. The jasmine not was so strong that it made me nauseous.
This fragrance is a beautiful Vanilla that is salty and comforting all at the same time. The dry down is beautiful and a bit more floral in nature. I could smell the fragrance on my clothes the next day which is fantastic.
Omg it’s amazing. It’s sweet and smells romantic!
Much fruitier than I had expected, it almost reminds me of candy. Which I associate with "yummy gummy bear" I wore as a pre-teen. I probably won't finish this bottle.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this perfume!! It’s always must in my perfume collection!! I swear everytime I wear it somebody is giving me compliment it never fails!! I love it!! Ladies I promise you will not be disappointed!!! ???
I just turned 30. Personally, I think this scent is more for teenage young women. It did not have a distinct smell in my opinion. It smelled more like walking into the fragrance section at Lord and Taylor’s with a splash of sweet. I’m pretty knowledgeable about my scents and I personally would not recommend this to a more mature women. I would definitely buy this for my nieces in their late teens or very early twenties, as an everyday scent. Not for me
This is a beautiful scent
My favorite perfume the reason I signed up for scentbox a very sexy fragrance light and long lasting definitely my signature scent
I personally love this fragrance. I bought it in Ross before and I missed the scent so I had to snatch it up on here??
I decided to try this due to the great reviews and description. The sweetness was overwhelming, that and the oriental notes overpowered the fresh, aquatic smell I was hoping for. I cannot wear this at all, even though it has some notes I usually enjoy.
Smells fresh and sexy
This fragrance is everything!!!!
Love it
Amazingly womanly
From the description and the ratings, I thought I would like this. However, on me at least, overlying the sweetness, it had a very sharp and unpleasant scent, not sure how to describe it. Since so many reviewers love it, maybe it reacted badly with my body's chemistry, although this has never before been and issue for me.
I love it!!
I love this scent, one of my go to's when I know I going to have a long overworked day, scent last very long and I get many compliments when I wear it
The transitional layers of this lovely perfume are amazing! It started with very high floral notes and about an hour later the trees and woody qualities kicked in. Four hours later I get a softer, more complex and even fragrance that lasts. And the best part... the next morning with a good stretch, the aroma is still there, soft but present. Lovely...
This is a little too strong when you have just sprayed it, but it's great after it dries. Other people can smell you, but it doesn't make you sick. It's not good for a hot day. But, I think this will do well in colder weather. When I wore it to the movies (which are freezing inside), it smelled very nice. I like the salt and vanilla mixing with the teensy bit of floral and that the woods feel like trees near the ocean. This would be too much for me at the gym. But, nice if going for a walk.
It's okay. Not really my favorite. Smells a little too mature for me.
Long lasting.
Smells mature but youthful at the same time. I really love it, and it's perfect when I want something a little more romantic to wear.
Love it
I love this scent. Kind of masculine, but I like it. Has a mature, sweet and seductive quality
This is a very sweet, warm fragrance, I absolutely love it!
Smells so pretty. Like this one. Starts out strong then softens to a lovely floral.
I love it!
A previous reviewer hit the nail on the head saying it was a salty vanilla with a sandalwood base. It definitely leans toward the oriental flavor of life like the descriptive pictures show. I'm usually a sweet, fruity, citrus scent lover so when I first put this on I hated it. I continued to wear it on days I was working from home, and I grew to really enjoy it. It lasts all day, and evokes a sensuality of a woman who knows what she wants.
I know I have been warned here about the aquatic notes, but that blast of saltiness smells surprisingly unpleasant against the vanillary sweet modern woods base. Once it wears off the dry-down smells pretty good, but I am not willing to put up with an aggressive synthetic saltiness to get there. I know more natural quality marine notes can be achieved, but this is mass market rather than niche. The saltiness in Mugler's Womanity is off-putting too but it is harmonious with the fig, so that actually smells good.
I’m in love with this perfume
I really liked this one. This was the one for me this month. ??
This is a nice fragrance that lasts, and I had someone tell me I literally smelled good enough to eat. It just has a slight harshness to my nose for a while, then mellows out. Not a deal breaker.
very nice,sexy.night time.
Nice, but not for me
This scent is amazing. Totally love it and will be buying the full size soon.
It smells soooooo good
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I really reallllly like this scent a lot!
Love this scent. Ifs very feminine without being overpowering.
Love it!
Made me gag, I gave it to my daughter on the condition that she never wear it around me.
In love with this scent!
Love it. Unsure at first because it was different than any other I have tried, but is now one of my favorite scents
A very womanly scent. Subtly sensual. I like.
This is a very pleasant scent. It lasts all day, so you don't have to reapply. Really love this one.
I love this scent so much! It may be my new favorite. It's a salty vanilla, with slight aquatic undertones, and a sandalwood base. It's light, warm and comforting. An everyday scent.
I love this one and get so many " oh man what are you wearing that smells great" remarks
Very light but everyone compliments me on it
I really like this scent, it’s not too heavy on the vanilla.
I was pleasantly surprised with it , at first I wasn't sure if I loved it but it grew on me and now I can see myself wearing this fragrance for a long time.
Smells amazing
Amazing scent. Feminine, elegant but not mature. Lasts all day on me and i always get compliments on it.
I wasn't a fan of the top notes at first, but they are growing on me. I'm absolutely in love with the middle and bottom notes. This perfume smells amazing. It's not overpowering, but it still last a long time. It's a perfect Fall scent. 9/10 would recommend.
Love it
Love this scent. A little strong at first, but eases up throughout the day.
Really nice scent but starts off very strong. I wasn’t sure I would like it since it seemed very overpowering and a little harsh at first but once it developed a little, it is grew on me. It has unusual notes that make it stand out from many of the mass market brands. Definitely a keeper!
This scent has a wonderful vanilla base slightly salty and caramel. Very complex to describe however being that it's that complex it's very light it lasts a lot longer on a cool day. If it's above 90degrees it dissipates quite quickly. I've had more compliments on this in cooler weather than I did warm/hot. If you love vanilla and something a little bit different this is great sent for you!
I'm absolutely in love with this perfume, delicate and the scent stayed for the whole entire day, got lots of compliments while wearing it.
Love love love this perfume. It's floral just a bit, with some vanilla. It lasts all day and buying a big bottle.
