The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Rabanne and crafted by perfumer Loc Dong, Olympea Intense is a complex Oriental fragrance that blends the warmth of amber and vanilla with unexpected salty and marine notes. The contrast between its sweet and powdery heart and its animalic base creates an intriguing tension, making it feel both comforting and provocative. This composition is not just a scent; it's an invitation to explore layers of depth and complexity.
Apply Olympea Intense in light layers — it blooms slowly and maintains its warmth throughout the day. The marine notes fade quickly, but the base notes provide a lasting presence that evolves over time.
