Fragrance Notes

Top Notes:

• Freesia: Provides a delicate, peppery floral opening with a slightly aldehydic lift.
• Mandarin Orange: Delivers a bright, juicy citrus accord that contributes to the initial effervescence.
• Green Accord: Introduces a crisp, natural verdancy, enhancing the freshness of the top.

Heart Notes:

• Jasmine: A classic floral heart, its indolic facets provide a sensual, creamy depth.
• Salt: This marine note is crucial, introducing a unique, briny sweetness that elevates the composition.
• Vanilla: A gourmand anchor, it offers a smooth, comforting sweetness that bridges the floral heart and woody base.

Base Notes:

• Cashmere Wood: Imparts a soft, musky, and slightly powdery woody character, creating a sensual warmth.
• Ambergris: A complex aroma chemical, it provides a salty, oceanic, and ambery richness that is both diffusive and tenacious.
• Sandalwood: Lends a creamy, smooth, and woody foundation, enhancing the overall richness and depth.

How It Performs

This fragrance oil formulation prioritizes longevity and a refined olfactory journey. The absence of an immediate alcohol spike means the fragrance unfolds gradually on the skin, offering a smoother evaporation curve. This oil-based format is engineered for superior performance.

• Concentration: Our oil is formulated at an Eau de Parfum strength concentration, ensuring significant presence.
• Fixatives: A strategic blend of high-molecular-weight aroma chemicals and natural absolutes are employed as fixatives. These include compounds like Ambroxan, known for its diffusive ambergris-like character, and woody molecules that possess excellent substantivity.
• Longevity: Expect a minimum of 10-12 hours of wear on skin, with potential for 24+ hours on fabric. This is achieved through the inherent stability of the oil base and the carefully selected fixatives.
• Diffusion: The sillage is moderate to heavy, creating an alluring aura without being overpowering, thanks to the balanced diffusion of key aroma chemicals like Iso E Super, which enhances woody notes and provides a cedar-like character.

Best Times to Wear

This fragrance is exceptionally versatile, designed to complement various settings and climates.

• Temperature Range: Ideal for moderate to cool temperatures (10°C to 25°C). It performs excellently in crisper air, allowing its nuances to shine.
• Humidity: Performs reliably in low to moderate humidity. In very high humidity, the heavier base notes may become more pronounced.
• Occasions:
  • Office: Its sophisticated profile makes it suitable for professional environments, especially when applied judiciously.
  • Date Night: The warm, sensual base notes create an inviting and alluring presence for romantic evenings.
  • Winter Outdoor: The rich, woody, and ambery aspects are perfectly suited for cold weather, providing a comforting and enveloping scent.
  • Daytime: Can be worn during the day, particularly in cooler seasons, offering a radiant and engaging aroma.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

This fragrance oil is a precise reconstruction of Olympia Women by Paco Rabanne. The primary difference lies in the delivery medium. Alcohol-based perfumes have a high volatility component from the alcohol, which creates an immediate burst of scent as it evaporates. Our fragrance oil, formulated without alcohol, exhibits a significantly different evaporation curve. It starts subtly and builds as the carrier oil warms on the skin, releasing aroma molecules in a more controlled, linear fashion. This results in a richer, smoother, and ultimately longer-lasting scent experience. The molecular stability of the aroma chemicals used, such as Hedione for its transparency and diffusion, is optimized within the oil base.

What Customers Say

“The longevity is truly impressive. I applied it in the morning and could still smell it faintly the next day.”

“It’s so close to the original, but the oil format feels more skin-friendly and less harsh.”
