Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is my favorite flanker of the Olympea line. It is more lightweight and fresher than the Original, which makes it perfect for summer.
- ✅ Salty, Aquatic Jasmine, Orange-Blossom & Vanilla... This 2016 Floral Aquatic scent is a nice update to the genre, and a fresher aquatic take on the original Olympéa.
- ✅ Gorgeous, long lasting and suitable to be worn day or night.
- ✅ Salty, Aquatic Jasmine, Orange-Blossom & Vanilla... This 2016 Floral Aquatic scent is a nice update to the genre, and a fresher aquatic take on the original Olympéa. It's a love for me. 10/10 for a marine-floral scent.
- ✅ I absolutely adored this and got it on sale. I actually wanted the original Olympéa, but couldn't pass the great sale. Now I can't even remember what the original Olympéa smells like. This version, however, is lovely!
- ✅ Salty, Aquatic Jasmine, Orange-Blossom & Vanilla... It's a love for me. 10/10 for a marine-floral scent.
- ✅ I love this. Currently, it's my signature scent.
- ✅ Fresh, yet gentle, salty aquatic beginning.
- ❌ This literally turned my stomach. The only note I can detect is the aquatic note and it is like water+mold+chlorine.
- ❌ Rather disappointing - this isn't an aquatic take on the original Olympea... it's a powdery, white floral adaptation.
- ❌ I sprayed it on a tissue paper and smelled divine... all I could smell on me was an overwhelming, bubble gum, round sweetness.
- ❌ Rather disappointing - this isn't an aquatic take on the original Olympea... it's a powdery, white floral adaptation. Also, the longevity is completely disappointing.
- ❌ I blind bought this fragrance... the more I wore it, however, the more cloying it became. I can smell the vanilla a little bit, but it's not obviously sweet- it's just very sour, from the citrus notes, and sharp from the salt. It gives me a headache.
- ❌ The more I wore it, however, the more cloying it became.
- ❌ I don't like the poor longevity on me, barely half an hour.
