About this deal

Now for the scent: It's floral and fruity but not in a baby-pink-sweet-good-girl way like many other floral-fruity perfumes (like armani si fiori -WHICH I LOVE BTW), it's more strong, condfident, not shy. The perfume opens with beautifully peppery fresh roses and effervescent blackcurrant sorbet, leading to a heart of spicy notes and the full-bodied scent of frozen pear. The salt and pink pepper feel a bit prickly and dissonant to me, I think they clash with the clean rose. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. The opening is very strong and sweet and reminds me very much of Live Irresistible, which I own and enjoy.

Chic Bottle Design: The Olympea Blossom bottle features a round shape with free-flowing embellishments and metallic detailing, representing the allure of a blossoming garden. I really like it, but it has nothing to do with the original or intense version of the fragrance which i already have and like a lot. You’ll see even bigger discounts on brand new products throughout our clearance section, which have a few cosmetic imperfections, but only to their packaging.Alcohol Denat, Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Linalool, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Citronellol, Hexy Cinnamal, Geraniol, CI 14700 (Red 4), CI 17200 (Red 33), CI 19140 (Yellow 5). The rose and pear is dominant in the opening but the warm vanilla, salt and tropical flowers carries throughout the dry down. Almost every designer brand has put out a rose flanker, but I think it works better without the saltiness. Whereas olympea original sits in the middle being a solar sensual and olympea legend is at the other end being a fruity sweet (more sweet ). At first spray it was a lot of pepper and pear and not much else, but I really like it now that its dried down.

I can't smell the pear note at all, all I get is nauseating damask rose and pink pepper but not in a good blend at all. How to Use: Spray the fragrance on pulse points, such as the wrists and neck, from a distance of 5–7 inches. So I had a sample and quite liked it, got a bottle, and for some reason, upon wearing it, it is flat, it just isnt that good. 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). I really would like to know the appeal of it versus blackberry, which I can tolerate much more (no cat pee undertone).The dry down is very pleasant though, mix of vanilla and patchouli notes, sweet but somehow fresh - perfect for summer or warm spring days. It is kind of generic in smell which is good but it's nothing unique it doesn't really smell "designer".
