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.
Olympéa is the name of the latest divine creation by Paco Rabanne. Created in 2015, this fragrance plunges into a very particular world: that of Greek mythology. It delivers the portrait of a modern-day goddess, leaving in her wake a bewitching sillage, at once floral, suave, refreshing and salty. Olympéa thus resonates as a small olfactory revolution. Entirely timeless, it invites the discovery of the natural charm of a beauty queen. Crafted with grace and intelligence, Olympéa does not go unnoticed and makes hearts swoon. Its power of seduction is absolute, so much so that it seems to have no trouble turning the head of one of the most coveted men in the world: Invictus, its masculine counterpart. Note also that the whole is presented in a genuine showcase of prestige. Let's decode together the different elements of its bottle.
Olympéa, a bottle straight out of Greek mythology
Before becoming a couturier and fashion designer, Paco Rabanne trained as an architect. This is felt in many of his creations. Highly daring, he has since his beginnings displayed a radical and sensual fashion, far from norms and trends. Paco Rabanne does not hesitate to use unexpected and futuristic materials to design his clothes. It is precisely this originality that resurfaces in this bottle as well. Each of his bottles plunges into a world of its own. Here, with Olympéa by Paco Rabanne, it is the world of Greek mythology. In a highly architectural spirit, Olympéa rests within a perfect circle. This modern amphora does not have a convoluted shape but remains perfectly geometric. The whole rests on a triangular base, while being topped with a cap shaped like a half-moon. Similar to a fan, it is drawn instead from the Art Deco style.
An omnipresent pink for an absolute symbol of femininity
To perfect this visual, Paco Rabanne relied primarily on a peach-pink hue. This is evocative of bare skin and femininity in general. This very poetic and romantic tint appears not only at the level of the fragrance itself, reflected in the completely transparent glass walls, but also on its cap. Indeed, it features a rose-gold spray nozzle, whose collar is likewise enhanced with this refined material. Note also that it is in this same hue that the name of this essence is inscribed, on the front of the bottle, with restraint.
The laurels of Paco Rabanne, as attributes of victory
Finally, to embody the power of femininity and victory, Paco Rabanne decorated the sides of its bottle with two laurel branches. Victorious attributes since the era of ancient Greece, the laurels here form tar-colored shapes in copper-toned metal. Likewise, when this bottle is placed upright, the laurels recall the wings of the Greek statue of Nike, goddess of victory in Greek mythology… A whole symbol! Undeniably, with Paco Rabanne, nothing is left to chance!
