Paco Rabanne Olympea

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, a saline mineral edge, like skin after swimming.

It opens on water jasmine, green mandarin and ginger flower, moves through vanilla and salt, and settles on cashmere wood, ambergris and sandalwood.

• green mandarin: mandarin picked unripe: sharper, greener, less sweet
• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
