Blackcurrant fades into sweetened roses
Olympéa flankers are always good for a surprise. The original doesn't really work for me, but some of the variations are absolutely perfect. I don't see a clear link between them though, some have lots of Olympéa DNA and others could be completely independent standalone scents. Olympéa Flora belongs to the second category. I get none of the salty vanilla or clean white florals of the original at all! If anything, it would be closest to the other pink flanker, Olympéa Blossom, just even further away from the original than that one was. I like Flora better!
It starts out very juicy and honestly mouthwatering. The blackcurrant is so nicely done here! It really feels like the sensation of a berry bursting in your mouth, which is kind of ironic, as blackcurrants are rarely eaten raw. If you likely fruity, sweet scents with a touch of tartness, you will love the opening.
Unfortunately, the scent turns into a rosy fruitchouli quickly. It's not bad at all, but it feels like something I have smelled a thousand times before. I can't name an exact dupe, but there are plenty of those sweet berry-rose-vanilla-patch blends, and Olympéa Flora doesn't really stand out among them. Think about something along the line of the Armani Sì family and you're not too far off. Pink and black are definitely the right colors here.
This is a nice choice for those who like this kind of scent and don't have something similar already, but not a must-have for my collection. I still like to sample it when I see it in stores, the opening is just so refreshing.
