Rabimmel, Rabammel - Rabanne!

I am quite freshly addicted to perfume and so it is obvious that I first have to sniff my way through the mainstream sea of fragrance bit by bit in order to gradually build up a modest wealth of experience that lets me understand the fragrance comments at Parfumo and allows me to contribute my small share to the discourse within the scope of my limited possibilities The first Paco Rabanne in my nose was Lady Million, who didn't make it from paper to my skin. Too dressed up, "sequin minis at the club." Olympea read quite interesting concerning the scent pyramid and my olfactory booty scheme. Sprayed on the paper, inhaled and found quite nice. My spontaneous comment: "At least it won't hurt anyone." The woman in turquoise had to grin a little. Three weeks later, on my way home after work, I stopped at our cow-village drugstore with a centaur and had an acute need for rewards. The gentleman in white, who unlocked the perfume counter for me, seemed a bit insecure at first, but immediately went to work and patiently sprayed one fragrance after the other on the card. After I must have looked very frightened to disgusted after testing Angel, he reached under the counter and held a small tin of coffee beans under my nose. Chapeau! It wanted to convince me so quite no smell and so I landed again with Mr. Rabanne Greek echoes. In the face of Angel, the scent experience could only be better. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Olympea Intense. This is a little different from Olmpea, isn't it? It's for the tester and the nose. Hiya. This friendly arbitrariness, which had kept me at Olympea from further occupation with this fragrance, was completely alien to Olymppea Intense. The fragrance is voluminous, harmonious, sweet and very warm and soft. I clearly smell the white pepper in the top note, which gives Olympea Intense a certain angular spiciness. Then comes the salty element of vanilla, which blends with the other components to form a wonderfully mild salty caramel candy, making the fragrance for me a dream gourmand par excellence. Intense yet delicate. Sweet, but by no means sticky. I perceive the flowery notes less strongly (to hardly). Ambergris and sandalwood are finely tuned and ensure a harmonious finish, which will continue to be worn by this heavenly delicious caramel candy. It is of course not an oller Werthers, but a hand-rolled sweet from a small Breton sweet manufacturer.
The Sillage is already not from bad parents, so restraint is in demand with the dosage. My shelf life is about six hours.
And so it happened that Paco and I made our peace after all

A Frenchwoman on a summer holiday

My first comment here, I'm excited! I have an unusual story in common with Olympéa Intense:
At the beginning of 2019, in cold January, I really wanted to treat myself to an all-rounder fragrance that would accompany me all year round. I had requirements: It should fit to various occasions and temperatures. It must have a good shelf life. It must not contain any disturbing note. And above all: Despite its all-rounder status, it must be a bit "different" and have a certain something.
So I stood at the shelf in the orange M, tested my way through, but nothing convinced me "at first sight", and I actually wanted to go.
Suddenly she walked past me. My jaw just fell to the floor. Wow... I've never seen a more elegant young woman! Black Beret cap, underneath a blond mane. Red lipstick. Grey-blue eyes, grey-blue trench coat. Black bootees. With her French-influenced style and her presence, she embodied something that I also wanted a piece of! I was so fascinated. Where did she come from, where is she going? It was one of those moments in life that you will always remember.
She went straight to the Paco Rabannes, unerringly attacked the Olympéa Intense and fogged herself in. A gentle cloud of bitter freshness, fruitiness and sweetness reached me. Mmmh...! I want to, I want to! After she left, I immediately grabbed the round bottle. The fragrance was still hanging in the air: it was vanilla, definitely, but a fresh brew vanilla. Orange fruitiness. Something harsh, maybe wood? I didn't know. I didn't know. I only knew "at first glance" that I had found my all-rounder with that certain something. I couldn't thank the elegant lady from Paris enough for her performance in spirit. I really wore the scent every day and got compliments.
Meanwhile I think that Olympéa Intense (low dose!) is more effective in summer, and especially on vacation. He has something refreshingly maritime about the salt. The sweetness of vanilla and orange blossom gets something tropical at warm temperatures. I always imagine a romantic evening stroll on the beach in addition to the scent. But I met him in the cold "Paris"... :)

Not so bad, though.

Paco Rabanne always makes very present and very sweet fragrances for the young girls.
These are the kind of girls who always walk through town in front of me or stand in front of me at the checkout. So I'm very Angel, Lady Million, XS damaged & decided for me that I can't do anything with these sugar sweet showers.
Nevertheless, I don't want to close myself off to these brands and their sugar waters through the journey of the perfume cosmos and buy one or the other, as well as this one

Deliberately used

It takes some skill to use the fragrance correctly in the right situations.
The fragrance is a force and the vanilla is extremely concise. The orange and cedar wood complement each other perfectly in the background. Strangely enough, the fragrance ALSO reminds me of warm evenings on the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps just an illusion, as it is definitely not a refreshing Acqua fragrance. Maybe the salt...?!

I don't recommend anyone to use the fragrance in everyday life (then rather the normal Olympea and also only slightly dosed). The fragrance is a going out scent, the woman wants to attract attention, has self-confidence and makes a statement. You should stand behind the fragrance and not be ashamed that really everyone around you, especially in closed rooms, is looking at you. Otherwise the fragrance is not for you.
If you can sell the fragrance well, you can climb Mount Olympus...

8.5 points because the scent is not always fragrant. Sometimes it can be annoying, especially if you have to smell it too often. Not uncommon with such scents. The shelf life is enormous. Applied in the morning it still smells after showering in the evening.

Sooo beautiful sensual but also warm:)

I love the original Olympea and can't imagine summer without it:) It's simple, on my skin a great fresh exotic vanilla fragrance. Yes I know for many people Olympea is more of a fragrance, but for me in the warmer season it is an everyday fragrance;) Many people complain that the Olympea fragrances are too sweet but I think they go into the fresh but also slightly floral... Sweet to me is scandal of JG but not Olympea! Since I am very enthusiastic about this fragrance, I really wanted to test the other newer versions of Olympea:) Admitted to me the others have not soooo, very liked except Olympèa Intese:))) But also, I liked the bottle extremely well!:) I can almost say that I like the Intese version a little bit more than the original:D I think I should finally start with the fragrance description;)

Soooo the scent:
Already when spraying on, I could smell this beautiful salty vanilla note on my skin.:)))) The salty vanilla note I could smell with me because whole fragrance course what I personally liked very much!*-* Many also say that this salty vanilla note reminds of salty caramel... I'm honest I don't know what salty caramel smells like now because I only know heavier and sweeter caramels...:D Can someone tell me if I'm the only one who smells vanilla rather than caramel? I also have to get something off my chest, the vanilla note in Olympèa fragrances doesn't smell like ordinary vanilla! Many know rather heavy and sweet vanilla... but with the Olympea fragrances I find the vanilla note very, very special! Since the vanilla note is more fresh than sweet. ( I also smell that on my skin) At the original smell, I smell quite clearly also in the smell process, also there again fresh and pleasant fruit notes:) And the intense one is more difficult, but only lightly. Now not necessarily into the sweet but much more flowery but also slightly into the warm woody:) I smell Amber here very, clearly out what I simply only find beautiful!:) It's not an extremely sweet or heavy amber...Much more a very warm also slightly powdery amber*-*
The woody notes give the fragrance a course, a slightly powdery but also a light spicy note:)))) I have hardly smelled so far!:) I can smell flowery notes from time to time discreetly, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of flowery notes they are... I can't smell any fruity notes now! But the more so the Amber Note! It's the most present, but also the most intense to smell out! Who loves Amber fragrances or better said loves Amber in fragrances will certainly have a little joy with this one;)

So I guess you can't go wrong with this scent! Especially if you're a big fan of the original Olympea you'll have just as much fun with this one:) H+S is fine! Unfortunately I don't smell on my skin after 5.hours any more... But on the clothes this, fragrance has kept with me all day well:) I will not buy yet because I still have the original and want to finish first;) I think you can, because wear it all year round because it's neither too sweet nor too fresh:) What do you think of the Olympea fragrances?;)
