The stench of sweaty soaked hair after a pub visit

There was a time, it has been a long time ago, I was not averse to drinking through nights in narrow, noisy clubs or even large discotheques (What have I found great about it????? :D) At that time, I would estimate that meanwhile 15 years have passed, was still smoked in these establishments. If you came home in the middle of the night or early in the morning, your hair and clothes stank of a mixture of sweat, alcohol and above all old cold cigarette smoke.

I'm sorry somehow and when I read the other comments, I doubt myself and especially my sense of smell, but Olympea smells exactly like the one I just described.
If I notice this smell of old cigarette smoke with a salty, alcoholic note on a woman, I wonder every time whether she has been through the night or is simply wearing Olympea (and I smell the smell almost every day on different women).

I have never smoked before in my life and find the smell extremely repulsive, accordingly the enthusiasm of the many Olympea lovers for this fragrance somehow does not open me up. Of course, fragrances are ultimately a matter of taste and are perceived and interpreted differently by everyone, but I find it quite unusual that opinions can diverge so widely.

Mountaineering Olympus

I don't know exactly when it was when I first heard about Olympéa. But I know when I first used that scent. That was 2016 and for a long time I was again on holiday in the Alps. What one hated so much as a child, one wanted to do as an adult woman for "relaxation". So what do you do in the mountains? You go hiking. Especially at this time I had a kind of need for self-discovery and wanted to climb a 3000.

For the first time in years I really felt 9 hours of rest. Shielded from mobile phone reception, people and many impressions I went up this mountain, over several vegetation zones. Started at 32 °C in a valley overgrown with deciduous trees over dark conifers and green meadows, it then went over tender grasses and sometime only boulders further and further up. I drank from an ice-cold meltwater stream and enjoyed the cold draught on the sweaty and meanwhile slightly burnt skin. At the end of the ascent I stood in a short skirt and sun hat in deep snow and looked down on my daily work.
My invisible companion was Olympéa. This scent and all the impressions of nature around me formed a symbiosis that gave me the feeling that I was climbing Mount Olympus. It was terribly exhausting, but after the ascent I had the feeling to be finally grounded.

And I still feel that way today. When I order Olympéa. Then I stand again on my personal place on the Olymp and feel fullest satisfaction.

It's not a scent I want to use every day. Not because it's too intense. No. But I always want to remind him of it with this experience.
It is also not a fragrance that particularly knocks me down or would have been my first choice. But in connection with this memory he has become unique for me.

Salty yet very good

I was looking for a new summer scent and wasn't really sure what kind of scent it should be because I want something that doesn't smell too sweet but also not too fresh or soapy. I looked a little bit around but a lot of fragrances not exactly what I was looking for or what I wanted.

Then a saleswoman asked me what I was looking for, and I didn't know myself exactly what kind of scent it should be or better said what I wanted. So I told her it should be a fragrance that was not necessarily too fresh but a bit fruity but very pleasant. She went to the perfume dispenser of Paco Rabanne and picked up Olympia from the shelf and sprayed it lightly on the test strip for me and handed it over to me. On the test strip, I didn't really like him because he was too harsh... She sprayed it to me then on the wrist from there it was much better.

It smelled very special because I did not deal so firmly with fresh smells, have or better said know it was different for me. At the very beginning I smelled the green tangerine which I liked very much:) Unfortunately this note vanished as fast as I noticed it but it became very interesting. I only know sweet vanilla notes but salty vanilla notes were very new to me. One smelled very, very clearly the salty vanilla note out it was very present, slightly tart. But in a good way;). The ginger note could also be clearly seen, but it didn't smell so strong that it was present. It was there but not as present as the Salty Vanilla Note. I like this fragrance very much because it simply has something special it is not a fragrance that you think is very stubborn it was, just perfect for everyday life. I found devinitiv and gefahlen I do this smell very much for the warm summer days;). I couldn't smell Jasmin but this perfume does me very good anyway. I bought the 80ml bottle because there was 50% on this bottle because it only cost 60Fr. Find this is still possible because you get a lot of it after all, you only need 2 splashes and you can see it almost the whole day.

The ultimate confidence booster

I stood frustrated in the dressing room of the fashion store after all the pieces I had taken to try on didn't fit. Well, then get back into my own clothes... But what was that? When I pulled my shirt over my head, all of a sudden this wonderful smell rose into my nose. It spread a warm feeling in my chest. I breathed in through my nose again. The feeling of happiness rose up to my toes and fingertips. How incredible! All my frustration and the feeling of discomfort after the failed fitting of the badly fitting parts was blown away. Breathe in the scent through my nose once more - my head was clear, it tickles and I suddenly felt liberated. What was this wonderful happiness maker on me? Oh yes - I had just been to the perfumery and tested this perfume, whose bottle I found so noble. Only directly in the perfumery I always can't smell anything, because the massive overload of fragrances in the room numbs my nose. But when it had recovered well enough, and I was standing in the changing room, I took this fabulous scent on me and my clothes. At first the top note wrapped me up protectively, yes, it gently caressed my cheek. The heart note with the salted vanilla then gave me the ultimate self-confidence kick - here I come and you can't stop me! The base note with cashmere wood my companion, who does not leave my side.
An incredible perfume

Goddess in Crete

The bottle is super nice to look at. I like the rose gold really well. Very modern too.

To the fragrance: can only join the community. One smells the salty out in any case. The vanilla also. For me, salty vanilla is decorated with a few flowers.
When I put this scent on, I feel like a Greek goddess just coming forward from the sea. Kissed by the sun, hair coated with the sea salt.

This fragrance is a must-have for summer for me. Forget LightBlue or anything else, get this scent for the hot days. Do you nothing wrong.

The durability and sillage are very good.
