New to my fragrance collection is Olympéa Solar by Paco Rabanne, the newest fragrance from the brand and it is just stunning.
Described as being a a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women, if you like the Olympéa range, then you need to add this one to your collection.
The immediate feeling of being transported to a sunshine haven on a radiant day.
Olympéa Solar was launched this year and it has some incredible notes that run throughout. Opening with the Top notes of Mandarin Orange, Orange Peel and Orange Blossom; you immediate get a hit of sharp citrus notes which are as zesty as they are warm. Then with the heart notes, referred to as being Solar notes which is a relatively new term when it comes to fragrances and they they refer to perfumes that possess a sunny disposition, a relatively new phrase that I only came across recently. In the case of Olympéa Solar, those notes are Tiare Flower, White Flowers and Oakmoss which brings about freshness and settles the top notes before the base notes of Ylang-Ylang and Benzoin come through to give that sweet smooth almost caramel likeness, the Ylang-Ylang holding everything together to create a beautiful scent.
I absolutely adore the original Olympéa and having tried both Legend and Aqua, I only have Blossom left to try from the series and if Solar is anything to go by, I need to try it sooner rather than later.
Olympéa Solar is packaged in a beautiful glass bottle whose description states that it is a circle of triumphant laurels surrounds the fragrance new bottle and its radiant intensity comes from a golden foliage pattern directly molded on the glass. This design has been inspired by paco rabanne fashion house and is notably similar to the rest of the brands bottles in this series.
Priced between £56 and £95 depending on the size of the bottle you choose, which incidentally is either 30ml, 50ml or 90ml.
