Paco Rabanne
Olympéa
Olympéa: the fragrance of a goddess of the new millennium. After a man half-god, half-youth, Invictus, a woman equal to his divine powers had to be created; this would be Olympéa, the sublimated woman who was thus born within the house of Paco Rabanne in 2015.

Where to buy
Strong in its perfumed couples, the house of Paco Rabanne plays with fantasies and creates fragrances of dazzling imagination, steeped in myth… The Olympéa woman is divinely beautiful, heroically irresistible and, of course, snaps her fingers to get everything she wants...
And Invictus created Olympéa...
And God created woman, Paco Rabanne created a myth, or rather a mythical couple. Accustomed to creating fragrances in pairs (Black XS for men and women, One Million and Lady Million), Paco Rabanne repeats the feat and once again signs success by creating the fragrance of a myth: Olympéa.
The Olympéa woman has nothing to envy in the so glorious Invictus man; she is sensual and fresh, ultra-feminine and divinely dominant, a Cleopatra of modern times with infallible powers. Of course, the goddess Olympéa must be exaggeratedly divine, and who better than Alexandre Courtès, unconditional master of the direction of the four previous Paco Rabanne films, has the ultimate power to create a world worthy of her extravagance?
To the same soundtrack as its male counterpart Invictus, Olympéa unfolds in a brilliant and intoxicating atmosphere of Ancient Greece, embodied by model Luma Grothe. Of course, Olympéa also snaps her fingers to obtain all the privileges her rank allows, if possible entirely bling-bling… The humor and extravagance of the house of Paco Rabanne once again hits the mark, carried by a young and daring ambassador, in the image of the fragrance...
Olympéa, a talisman of mysterious depths and floral powers
Since Olympéa's world is Ancient Greece, every detail of its perfumed creation is in perfect harmony with the divine spirit of the storytelling. The bottle holding the precious essence of Olympéa is designed by Marc-Ange (not Marc-Antoine…) and of course bears all the attributes of ancient power: laurel leaves encircle the glass talisman to form the mythical wings of victory. And the fragrance offers a sensual, amber and gourmand juice worthy of the gods...
The top notes of Olympéa offer a fruity cocktail of blackcurrant bud mixed with tangy, tonic notes of mandarin and orange. Then the heart opens onto powerful, fresh salty marine notes that blend with the delicate, exotic flavor of orange blossom and the floral powder of jasmine. The sillage offered by Olympéa propels a woody and amber composition thanks to notes of cashmeran and vanilla, while leaving behind the divine woman a gourmand scent of hazelnut and caramel.
Olympéa is a divine olfactory adventure, an encounter between the sensuality of a unique salty vanilla accord and the freshness of floral notes, according to Paco Rabanne. A symbol of absolute feminine fantasy, Olympéa carries absolute femininity with grace and distinction...

The advertising
After the success of Invictus, released in 2013, Paco Rabanne presents Olympéa, the Greek goddess, both glamorous and modern. Indeed regarded as the goddess of modern times, Olympéa aims to be as feminine as it is sensual. Olympéa is an oriental amber floral fragrance. It gives off fruity notes such as blackcurrant bud combined with floral notes such as jasmine and orange blossom. The whole is enhanced by salty vanilla and cashmeran. In a clip straight out of the heavens, the goddess Olympéa appears more sensual than ever.
Olympéa, an architectural advertising clip worthy of antiquity
From the very first image of the advertising clip, the setting is established: white marble columns perched atop a steep mountain shrouded in clouds, mortals invited to discover Mount Olympus, a giant Kouros god, and of course the goddess Olympéa arriving on her modern winged horse… Coming straight from the privileged mountains of the gods, the goddess Olympéa gives way to divine beauty. The music for the clip is by Kanye West and the song is titled Power. It fits the Olympéa clip perfectly. After Invictus, Paco Rabanne happily returns to the footsteps of ancient Greece with Olympéa. Luma Grothe was chosen by the Paco Rabanne brand to represent its goddess. In this clip, she reunites with the seductive Nick Youngquest, the sporting hero of Invictus. The clip is the work of director Alexandre Courtès, who signs here his fourth collaboration with the brand.
Luma Grothe in the ad for the modern-day Cleopatra: Olympéa
Luma Grothe was born in Brazil, is 22 years old and has a most sensual charm. Luma Grothe displays a singular, almost supernatural beauty. She was discovered during a beauty contest in her hometown, a small town in southern Brazil. She moved to London, then walked the runway for Burberry, before landing one contract after another. Since 2015, Luma Grothe has also been the face of the L'Oréal group. Fresh and vivacious, Luma Grothe charms with her natural beauty, which likely stems from her mixed heritage, German, Japanese, Brazilian and African all at once. In Alexandre Courtès's clip, Luma Grothe arrives on Mount Olympus in a modern-day chariot, half-Cadillac, half-pegasus, and elevates the world of the gods, as well as that of the living. Regarding his goddess, Alexandre Courtès states that Luma's eyes are filled with seduction and mischief, conveying a great deal of emotion. It is that gaze that carries us away, like the frozen gods of this imaginary Olympus, in the wake of her seduction.
After Invictus, Paco Rabanne returns to the ancient world with Olympéa. Just as seductive as her male counterpart, the modern Cleopatra is portrayed by Luma Grothe. Natural and sensual, Luma Grothe is highly sought after for her distinctive beauty. Here, she rules the world and reunites with the very famous Invictus.
