Paco Rabanne Olympea Solar

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on orange blossom, orange peel and mandarin orange, moves through solar notes, tiare flower and white flowers, and settles on ylang-ylang and benzoin.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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