I'm not into close lying skin scents, unless I'm going to bed. I want to be surrounded in a cloud. (That's obviously a personal preference, and I do wonder how often people are left choking in my wake?) Well, we are in a pandemic, and I never leave the house! Lose yourself in the rich, sensual aroma of Paco Rabanne Olympea Blossom Eau de Parfum, a floral-fruity perfume for women that’s both bold yet fresh, sweet yet sensual.

This perfume originally reminded me of something I've smelled a long time ago... If La Nuit Tresor Folie and JLO's LA Glow had a love child, this would be it. Perfume is a very subjective thing. So before buying a full bottle of it, try a sample or decant first I got this on a whim, not that I needed another bottle to top up the other couple of hundreds waiting to be worn. But an addict is always an addict, and something in this bottle screamed “take me home “. Such a shame, because the notes are intriguing. I've never seen a salty perfume that wasn't supposed to evoke the beach.You can wear it through the day, at the evening with friends, any season (it's very fruity-floral so its good for springsummer, but also its strong so you can also wear it on winter and fall and it will fit well).

If you loved the original Olympea then you’re sure to love this; it’s just as feminine and alluring. It definitely has a fresher, sweeter take (thanks to the addition of frozen fruit sorbet and delicate rose petals) while the musky-vanilla trail echoes the creaminess of its predecessor.Omg! This is so delicious. It’s such a unique gourmand. Nothing like I’ve smelt before. A very warm and inviting sexy perfume. Here at Escentual, we believe perfume has no gender! Typically, fruits and floral notes are seen as more feminine scents, but if they are the fragrance families you’re obsessed with, then you’ll love this.
