Olympea

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Paco Rabanne Olympea

Olympea is a salted vanilla floral, and our version keeps that feel: a fresh green opening, a salted vanilla heart, and a warm woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Paco Rabanne created Olympea as a modern goddess scent, pairing a fresh green mandarin and water jasmine with a distinctive salted vanilla for a sweet yet radiant character.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the green mandarin and water jasmine fresh up top, let salted vanilla and ginger flower carry the middle, and finish on a warm ambergris, sandalwood and cashmere wood base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer eau de parfum sold at full designer pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a sweet, radiant, modern floral for day or night, without paying designer prices.

Common Questions

How close is it to Paco Rabanne Olympea?

It stays close to the salted vanilla and green floral character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Paco Rabanne Olympea?

Most of the price of a designer fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Paco Rabanne Olympea?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and works day or night across most seasons.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
