Launched in 2016, Olympea Aqua by Rabanne is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus and aquatic notes with the warmth of vanilla and amber. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, Fanny Bal, and Loc Dong, this scent opens with a burst of Calabrian bergamot and orange, followed by ginger flower and jasmine, before settling into a base of vanilla and cashmere wood. The interplay between the crisp top notes and the rich base creates an inviting yet modern aroma that feels both fresh and comforting.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a balanced effect. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it to develop over an hour before reapplying if needed. It pairs well with a light jacket or cardigan that allows the scent to bloom gradually throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.
The brisk clarity of a morning walk by the sea, where the air is filled with salty freshness and the subtle warmth of sunlight on skin.
