The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Olympéa Absolu by Rabanne, crafted by perfumers Caroline Dumur and Paul Guerlain, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that launched in 2025. This scent opens with the warm, fruity aroma of apricot and cinnamon, leading into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom. The base notes of vanilla, amber, and benzoin create a rich and enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and luxurious. It is a composition that balances sweetness and complexity without overpowering the senses.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace that lasts throughout the day. The sweet top notes fade quickly, but the base notes linger, making it ideal for evening wear or cooler weather.
