Olympéa Blossom: The new floral Eau de Parfum by Paco Rabanne It was in 1965 that Paco Rabanne decided to venture into the world of haute couture, after training as an architect. Endowed with a highly visionary spirit, he did not hesitate to repurpose surprising materials to craft unexpected garments.
Black XS was a kind of rebellious, rock ’n’ roll diva. Lady Million, also nicknamed the “Golden Girl,” took us into a luxurious world and seemed able to obtain anything with a mere snap of the fingers. Olympéa, for its part, is a mythological goddess descended straight from Olympus. Since 2015, she has flooded the world with her femininity and her benevolence. Olympéa is intended for a strong and ambitious woman, whom nothing seems able to hold back. Once again, Olympéa takes us on one of its olfactory adventures. In 2021, Paco Rabanne gives birth to Olympéa Blossom. So, what about this new recipe? A breakdown of this infinitely floral and contrasted composition.
Olympéa Blossom, a highly energizing play of light and shadow
Olympéa Blossom is a fragrance aimed at women overflowing with energy, ready to take on any challenge that awaits them in daily life. And what better than a fragrance to become intoxicated with fresh energy each day? It is precisely as a jolt to everyday life that Olympéa Blossom was conceived. This is felt right from its top notes. Paco Rabanne relies here on an absolutely captivating play of light and shadow. On one side, blackcurrant sorbet unfurls a fruity freshness, like a shiver running across the skin. On the other, black pepper appears more electrifying and spicy. Warm as can be, it burns the body and instantly stirs desire. To this is also added one of the stars of feminine perfumery: rose. A flower among flowers, it immediately heightens the romanticism and poetry of this fragrance.
Pear as the central element of Olympéa Blossom
To continue in a fruity note, deliciously tangy and lightly sweet, Paco Rabanne set its sights on pear. This fruit occupies a central place in this fragrance. Here, the pear proves juicy and generous, while being very refreshing. One might almost believe it to be a delicious sorbet. Olympéa Blossom is a goddess craving lightness. This divinity offers us a refreshing stroll through her divine garden. She then wears, as her only garment, a sumptuous gown of airy petals.
The more sensual sillage of Olympéa Blossom by Paco Rabanne
Let us note finally that Olympéa Blossom becomes warmer at its base. Its base notes are more enveloping. These clearly lean into sensuality. A suave vanilla has been incorporated into its recipe. Salty, it immediately makes the mouth water, while wrapping itself in a creamy cashmere wood. Similar to a caress, Olympéa Blossom nevertheless never lacks character. It gains in persistence upon contact with patchouli. Dark and woody, this lends structure to the whole, while accompanying it with a final musky sillage. Instantly, Olympéa Blossom reinforces its animalic and untamed side, while leaving a long-lasting fragrance on the body.
