Olympéa: the scent of a goddess of the new millennium
With its scented couples, the Paco Rabanne house plays with fantasies and creates scents with dazzling imagination, with reality intoxicated with myths … The “Olympéa” woman is divinely beautiful, heroically irresistible and of course, snaps her fingers to get whatever she wants …
And “Invictus” created “Olympéa” …
And God created the woman, Paco Rabanne created a myth, or rather a mythical couple. Accustomed to creating perfumes in duo, (“Black XS” for men and women, “One Million” and Lady Million “), Paco Rabanne reiterates the feat and signs again with success, by creating the fragrance of a myth:“ Olympéa ”.
The “Olympéa” woman has nothing to envy to the glorious “Invictus” man, she is sensual and fresh, ultra-feminine and divinely domineering, a modern-day Cleopatra with infallible powers. Of course, the goddess “Olympéa” must be exaggeratedly divine and who better than Alexandre Courtès, unconditional master of the realization of the four previous films Paco Rabanne, has the ultimate power to create for her a universe commensurate with her disproportion.?
On the same soundtrack as her male “Invictus”, “Olympéa” evolves in a brilliant and intoxicating atmosphere of Ancient Greece under the features of the model Luma Gorthe. Of course, “Olympéa” also snaps his fingers to obtain all that his rank admits of privileges, if possible totally “bling-bling”… The humor an d the excessiveness of the house of Paco Rabanne still hit the mark, carried by a young muse and daring, like the fragrance …
“Olympéa”, a talisman of mysterious depths and flowery powers
The universe of “Olympéa” being Ancient Greece, all the details of the perfumed realization will be in perfect connivance with the divine spirit of storytelling. The bottle containing the precious essence of “Olympéa” is designed by Marc-Ange (not Marc-Antoine…) and of course has all the attributes of ancient power: the laurels of course encircle the glass talisman to create the wings. myths of victory. And the fragrance offers a sensual amber and gourmet juice worthy of the gods …
The top notes of “Olympéa” offer a fruity cocktail of blackcurrant bud mixed with tangy and invigorating notes of mandarin and orange. Then the heart opens up to powerful and fresh salty sea notes to marry the delicate and exotic flavor of orange blossom and flowery jasmine powder. The trail offered by “Olympéa” propels a woody and amber composition thanks to notes of cashmeran and vanilla, while leaving behind the divine woman a greedy scent of hazelnut and caramel.
“Olympéa is a divine olfactory adventure, a meeting between the sensuality of a unique salty vanilla accord and the freshness of floral notes. »According to Paco Rabanne. Symbol of absolute feminine fantasy, “Olympéa” wears absolute femininity with grace and distinction …
In 2015, Paco Rabanne unveils “Olympéa”, the goddess of modern times, but also the counterpart of “Invictus” released 2 years earlier. Mythical, almost divine, the “Olympéa” woman does not look like anyone else. Like “Invictus”, “Olympéa” comes from Greek mythology. You should know that Mount Olympus was the largest mountain in Greece. The Gods met there to discuss and meet. The top of Olympus was completely hidden by clouds, but it was mostly invisible to mortals. This is why the Olympéa woman is almost divine who far exceeds the average person …
The trio of perfumers chosen by Paco Rabanne
For to realize the fragrance of modern goddesses, Paco Rabanne called on Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Loc Dong. Anne Flipo is considered a very intuitive, innovative and talented perfumer. She currently works under the IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances) brand. While each of her fragrances is very different, Anne Flipo is at the head of many successes such as “Manifesto” by Yves Saint Laurent, “Sweet” by Lolita Lempicka or “La vie est Belle” by Lancôme. Dominique Ropion is also a perfumer very popular with fashion houses. Concrete and curious, Dominique Ropion took the time to study all the raw materials. He too is part of the IFF house and he is the head of exceptional perfumes such as “Lalique le Parfum” by Lalique, “Live Irresistible” by Givenchy or “La Nuit de L’Homme” by Yves Saint Laurent. Loc Dong is no slouch when it comes to talent. Vietnamese by birth, Loc Dong has managed to create an extraordinary life for himself. He likes to create simple and complete fragrances. We owe Loc Dong some very beautiful creations like “Ck One Shock for Him” by Calvin Klein or “Paris Rebelle Collection” by Yves Saint Laurent.
The duality of salty vanilla and floral notes
The 3 renowned perfumers have imagined a fragrance of duality, “A sensuality marked by an original salty vanilla accord and the freshness of floral notes”. “Olympéa” takes off on green, fresh and tangy tangerine. The heart of “Olympéa” is both floral and aquatic, because it combines ginger flower and hydroponic jasmine. Ginger gives off a scent that is spicy, peppery or even pink. As for hydroponics, it allows you to grow a plant without soil, so they only grow in water. Here, this technique offers a jasmine of lighter tones, more aquatic than usual. The base is both sensual and delicate, woody and creamy, it associates the accord of salted vanilla, patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris.
In order to offer his alter ego to “Invictus”, Paco Rabanne imagined “Olympéa”, the goddess of modern times. Dazzling, and almost mystical, “Olympéa” sports a sensuality apart, produced by a trio of ultra talented perfumers.
