Olympea Blossom Paco Rabanne for women

gorgeous rose scent but i unfortunately have 2 as i got gifted one for Christmas… im willing to sell a brand new 50ml bottle if anyone is interested message me :)

Salty vanilla pear with a gorgeous scent of passning by a garden on a late evening in june, when a Rosa rugosa hedge and some blackcurrant bushes perfume the air. This is a great scent for most seasons and occasions. Lasts really long, and I am surprised to find that at the end of the work day, the remaining scent on the skin is of fresh citrus - is there bergamot hidden in that ”sorbet”? I honestly can’t understand how that citrussy note can remain for ten hours. Anyways, this is a good one. I might love Olympéa Flora a tiny bit more, but either one you can get your hands on: go get it.

I tested this on my skin yesterday at the store and left it on for hours. I didn’t like it buuut It has great sillage and I only applied it twice on one wrist.

Look, it is nice but the patchouli, vanilla and salt ruins it for me plus or the cashmere. The dry down is too creamy but in warm way. It didn’t hit the spot. Wouldn’t buy it.

soo much better than the original olympea, much more floral and rosey but i agree with others it is rather generic.

This is a wonderful fragrance. I almost had forgotten how much I like it. I am wearing it again since summer has started and I fell in love with it again. It is a sweet rose scent but not like Delina or any of its dupes. To me it feels different. It´s classy, safe blind buy, and does not smell sinthetic at all. It is my favourite from the Olympea Family. I have many perfumes, and would put this in a Top 10 for Summer/Spring.

Totally worth the name!!! you smell blossom ...
From the first sniff hits damask rose and a lot of pear... which makes it kind of shampoo smell but not in disturbing way, like some other fragrances.
It's sweet... smells like a spring.
It's not rich or luxuries perfume...but also doesn't smell cheep ingredients, or synthetic.
More day time perfume..
Good fragrance in a group of friends when you wanna chit chat.

Too rosy, smells a bit old fashioned and cheap. Nice in a very small amount and on someone else. A bit disappointed.

The pepper in the opening leaned pencil shavings, but dissipated quickly. It made me think of a much less in your face Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper from KayAli. The dry down settles to a very pretty, smooth and fruity frozen treat.

Syrupy caramel-like florals with a pear slushie sorbet opening. Dry down just modern sweetness. I do agree with Mon Paris's comparison.

On paper it wasnt that heavy in sweetness. On skin though, overloadly sweet.

The opening is very pretty floral with slight creaminess, then it settles to a shampoo-y clean smell with a slight tang. It’s okay, in my opinion it’s boring and nothing special about it.
It’s a safe fragrance that doesn’t cause nausea or headache. Also not long lasting at all

Very nice rosy, spicy and fruity scent. Youthful, easy to wear and lasts long enough for me! Safe blind buy.

I spritzed this and thought 'wait a minute I know this frag': The Body Shop British Rose.
I have the edt and hand cream trust me 😆

I like it but I'll stick with the cheaper dupe I think.

Olympea blossom eau de Parfum florale lists as main ingredients rose, pear and pepper.

As per their description it is a fruity floral(more floral)
Whereas olympea original sits in the middle being a solar sensual and olympea legend is at the other end being a fruity sweet (more sweet ).

Reminds me of Montblanc lady emblem. Very generic and nothing outstanding

I really don't understand all the bad comments for this flanker. I've just bought it for my girlfriend. Trust me: I went to the store and tested about TEN different fragances (including the original olympea), no one was better to my nose than Blossom.... Definitely, "Sexy and delicious" are more than flowers today. This became easily in my top 3 of women fragances ever. Give this gem a chance; ask for masculine opinions before discard it.

I really wanted to like this and actually got two compliments while wearing it yesterday, but for me, it is just too generic and lacks that certain je ne sais quoi. I like the warm, fuzzy, cosiness of it but found myself craving some freshness or interest that would give it some unique character. I actually preferred it after it had settled a little and became more of an interesting skin scent. I wanted to love this and had wanted to try it for a while - I just wasn't expecting it to have Black Opium dupe vibes. If someone bought this for me I'd wear it quite happily, but I wouldn't buy it myself.

This one is my least favourite Olympea, it doesn't have much of the OG dna, even though salt is still present.
A lot of pink pepper, rose and pear. It smells more on a generic side of things and reminds me of Idole Aura and Givenchy Irresistible, but spicier and more fizzy. Very pink, very spring like. Feminine and likeable. Not something I would buy for myself, but I am happy to have it in my collection, since it was a gift. Nice for spring and summer. I like how fizzy and bright it is.

Bright, cheerful, fruity and delicious. I love the opening of this fragrance - it reminds me of a yummy fizzy drink. It’s sweet but not overtly sweet, and I have to say that I like this a lot more than I expected to. I have never tried other Olympeas; so can’t compare. But to me, this one is a wonderful spring-summer perfume
Performance is good too - lasts a decent time and projects very well.
It reminds me a little of YSL Mon Paris and also of Lancôme Tresor Midnight Rose.

To me this isn't any similar to the original Olympea fragrance. I can't smell the pear note at all, all I get is nauseating damask rose and pink pepper but not in a good blend at all. I was disappointed because I wanted to love this so much since Olympea is one of my favorite perfumes but unfortunately it wasn't the case and I ended up gifting my bottled of this flanker.

Wanted to love this one... turned out to be quite boring and the dry down had something unpleasant

I like it but it's not worth the price it smells kind of generic so it's nice but its not fancy and it doesn't last that long on myself

This smells like rose jam with a cashmere background. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s very feminine and sensual. A good choice for date nights. It’s not overly sweet and it’s quite pleasant. I don’t find it very similar to the original or the other flankers, but it’s ok with me. It’s still a nice fragrance.

classy and feminine , I love the pink pepper note with the rose note. Lovely perfume by Paco Rabanne.
It's a powdery salty rose perfume , definitely similar to Olympia. the only issue I have is the performance.
it doesn't last more than 2 hours o me.... I expected more from a 40 £ perfume.

I tried this perfume with great curiosity and wanted to love it - but unfortunately, it didn't work. For a very long time, I only got pepper, followed by the vanilla scent (kinda salty). I couldn't tell exactly where the blossom was, maybe I would say very little floral-vanilla scent, but it wasn't "blossom". I found this perfume a bit generic.

Am currently wearing a sample of this.
Very generic fruity floral in the opening, which fades quickly to become quite likeable -
You get the pepper and the salt, and they mingle with the sweetness cleverly. On my skin it is predominantly azuki bean paste, which I find surprising.
Now it has been an hour or two since I first put it on, I'm getting quite a bit of the musky soapiness coming in.
I like it so far, would have to wear it a few times more to decide if I want the bottle or not.

I got this for a really cheap price on tiktok shop. It is kind of generic in smell which is good but it's nothing unique it doesn't really smell "designer". It is a feminine scent and it's good for summer. It is sweet but not overly sweet and it lasts for a good amount of time. I would not buy this at the full original price and I probably won't buy again

opening had a lot of projection of the pink pepper. & also rose.

drydown & mid was generic lychee syrupy pear similar to the JPG scandal line.

this wasn't unique or interesting. could be any perfume tbh and not seeing the connection with the line. not sure what this perfume gives you that others do not .

This flanker doesn't have a lot in common with the rest of the Olympéa line. What it shares with the original is a salt note, but as it has much less vanilla and no beachy, solar accords, the overall feel is quite different.
This is a sweet, fruity rose scent that has a blast of unlisted ripe strawberries in the opening. Maybe the sugary pear sorbet and blackcurrant notes make me imagine strawberries, I don't know. After that has vanished, the scent feels quite fresh and even somewhat soapy. The salt and pink pepper feel a bit prickly and dissonant to me, I think they clash with the clean rose. The drydown, when the salt and pepper have calmed down, too, is more enjoyable. A sweet, vanilla-infused rose on a base of creamy-woodsy cashmeran is left the longest.

Olympéa Blossom is nice enough, I wouldn't mind to smell it on someone, but due to the soapy and chaotic mid phase it's nothing I would want to wear myself. The bottle is the best part of this, in my opinion it's the prettiest in the whole collection.
The scent itself just seems to be Paco Rabanne's attempt to take part in the fruity rose trend of the last years. Almost every designer brand has put out a rose flanker, but I think it works better without the saltiness.

It's a good day time basic scent. First spray is just classic floral with quite a lot of pink pepper which I love. The dry down is very powdery and you get more of the salt note as well as the pink pepper still. Overall a nice safe, crowd pleasing kind of fragrance.

Its nice
But nothing unique or outstanding about it
It doesn't have that expensive designer perfume vibe either
Not sure what's happening, but there hasn't been any new outstanding perfumes introduced in the last few years , just all average flankers

Nice floral opening but nothing unique. Generic and similar to Miss Dior fragrances, with an extra hint of pear. Lasts for about a minute (at least on my skin) and then turns into very strong fruity pear scent. Sadly not to my liking, far too fruity for me. The dry down is very pleasant though, mix of vanilla and patchouli notes, sweet but somehow fresh - perfect for summer or warm spring days.
Longevity is only around 3 hours but projection is quite good. I won't be investing into a full size product due to the mid notes. Saying that, if it was gifted to me I would be happy to wear this.

This is a really pretty scent but nothing like the original fragrance, so don’t blind buy it expecting it to be something it’s not! It smells like a better and less headache inducing La Vie Est Belle. I’d also compare it to Angel Nova in that it’s floral and fruity but fresh. Personally I think Angel Nova is a better fragrance though with more longevity though.
The original Olympea and the new solar version are much nicer smelling in my opinion than this. It’s not a bad perfume at all and I do like it but it just doesn’t live up to the original!

I like this alot. I can smell the pear sorbet and black current. Has a tutti fruity cream soda vibe to it. Really beautiful. Longevity is around 4 hours. Projection not too bad

such a pretty smell to be able to use for everyday wear, smells of pink pepper not overwhelmingly, i guess it is a little generic but id totally buy a big bottle of it

This is a very sweet, perfumey and pretty smelling fragrance. It smells mainly of rose, pink pepper and the juicy pear also comes through to give it some freshness.If the colour pink has a scent this is what it would smell like.

Also, this smells nothing like the other Olympea flankers, so if you are looking for something that smells like the Olympea edp, intense or aqua legere then this isn't for you as it takes a completely different direction. It is not a salty vanilla or gourmand like the rest,and I also cannot detect any salt in it.

It is a girly and flirty scent that is very suitable for spring time or during the day. I wouldn't say that it is very unique or groundbreaking as it smells like many other rosey spring perfumes I have smelt before.. but it is overall an enjoyable scent and I keep going back to smell my wrist whenever I have it on.
Bottle 10/10 ( it's sooo pretty I love it)
Scent 8/10
Longevity 10/10 ( This lasts ALL DAY)
Sillage 9/10

The fruity sweetness with that pink pepper in this are too cloying, sharp & headache inducing to me... i wanted it to be more roses but hrmmm im dissappointed... and it reminded me a lot of YSL's Mon Paris

So sweet, very generic, heavy patchouli. Nothing like the original. I definitely do not recommend this.

I will start with this: to me, this perfume has nothing to do with other olympea flankers or the original olympea. nothing at all. I really don't get the salty vanilla we get in all other olympea (even thought its in the base nots, but I think other olympea flankers has it in their heart notsopening as well, or in a stronger way). Maybe a bit salt under the floral notes which is kinda interesting, but really nothing like the other olympea's strong salt.

Second -I really love this perfume, I really don't get all those haters that can't hear about it because they stuck on other olympea. it's just like having another perfume - it's good, but if you're looking for another flanker of olympea with the same DNA, that don't buy this one.

Now for the scent: It's floral and fruity but not in a baby-pink-sweet-good-girl way like many other floral-fruity perfumes (like armani si fiori -WHICH I LOVE BTW), it's more strong, condfident, not shy. it's a fuchsia pink - you enter the room and "HERE I AM WITH MY FLORAL-FRUITY SCENT BITCH-ESSSS" (I hope you get what I mean XD). When you wear it you truly feel like a queen of bitches going on her way to mess the town, like no one can mess with you. but still, a girly-friendly-bitch, not a cold bitch. to me it smells just like the bottle looks.

Compliments: First time I wore it (I was actually out of the store after buying this with this scent on me and sprayed a bit more) I got to meet my friends and got tones of compliments on my smell (from guys and girls, EVERYONE SMELLED THIS and a guy that doesn't usually give compliments asked me "YOU SMELL GOOD, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING??").

Sillage and Longevity: At first in the opening it can be very strong for people who have strong sense of smell. The sillage is very good at the first two hours, thought the longevity is pretty ok, i wish it was better. after few hours the sillage is not as strong as the beginning, it kinda becomes a skin scent, and its kinda why i dont wear it anymore (but you know sillage and longevity kinda changes from a person to another so just try it on your skin and see for yourself).

Where do you wear it for: Surprisingly, this perfume is very versatile, even in the opening, it's very pretty and girly so even when you go to work with it its not too much. I won't go out with it for a date night because there are much sexier perfumes out there, but guys do like this so it can work pretty good if you don't like too sexy kind of perfumes.
You can wear it through the day, at the evening with friends, any season (it's very fruity-floral so its good for springsummer, but also its strong so you can also wear it on winter and fall and it will fit well).

As a Gift: If you're looking for a gift for a teenage girl this one is PERFECT!!! it will look amazing in her room, its girly, it's young but will still get her the "mature" feeling, it has good quality and the sillage is enough, it's pretty and smell good, but it doesn't sceam sexy, it just smells good and Im sure most of teenage girls will love this. Also for older woman who has "firey"funnybold personality its fits so good, its not too girly and too young, it has some kind of sophisticated personality in it.

I just backspaced what I started to type because I suddenly got all these delicious notes I didn’t notice at first. Sort of a syrupy pear and cherry blossom type of smell which is really nice. At first spray it was a lot of pepper and pear and not much else, but I really like it now that its dried down. This could be a new favorite.

At first when you spray it you deffenitly get the rose and the pepper… and the pear. The oppening reminds me of lancome miracle ans burberry her blossom maybe a little bit of flora by gucci to. But the dry down is 99% like lancome la vie est belle! Love iiit! 😍👌🏼

Not bad, but I've smelled this before many times.
Reminds me of a few fragrances. Nina Ricci Rose extase and Robert Piguet Calypso.
I think it's the Rose in combination with the Cashmere.

Left a review on this a few months ago, thought I would give it another try today as the weather has cooled a bit…I like it even less that before, the smell of overripe pear that I detected previously seems to have intensified and to my sense of smell it is sweet, cloying and not pleasant at all

Too fruity and sweet for me. Got a free sample and if anyone from UK wants to try send me a message.

The pink pepper is overpowering, I nearly sneezed. I don't mind when it's a subtle note, like in Versace Noir, but this fragrance didn't smell sweet on me. Perhaps my skin doesn't like it. Always test it on your skin, instead of doing a blind buy. It's a hard pass for me.

First impressions: I got a carded sample of this. When I sprayed it on paper I really didn't like it, it smelt very sickly sweet. I grudgingly got it out to try tonight thinking if I don't like it I can just wash it off. Well it is a very different ballgame on skin. The opening is very strong and sweet and reminds me very much of Live Irresistible, which I own and enjoy. Very quickly this freshens into a lovely salty fruity rosy floral. I've only had this on about 20 minutes but so far I'm really enjoying this.
What a lovely surprise!
Edit: Very pretty fragrance. Average longevity and pretty close sillage. Had it on about four hours today and is mostly a skin scent now with occasional puffs of deliciousness when I move. I like it a lot.

This is sweet, salty, fruity, warm and tropical floral. I cannot fathom how these notes work together. I find it synthetic but oddly appealing. I want to dislike it but I can't. I'm testing it on a sunny winter day and it's humming along perfectly. It's hugging me with just enough silage to feel moments away from a vacation somewhere. I disliked the original, and all the salty trends that came out around the same time. The salt in this is dialled way down to just noticeable. It's not listed but I could swear there is a jasmine or tiare in here. The rose and pear is dominant in the opening but the warm vanilla, salt and tropical flowers carries throughout the dry down. There is a syrupy sweetness too but everything is balanced and smooth. I found it unique and certainly unlike anything in my collection. I may have found my Olympea.

I love this fragrance. It has a peppery/ rosey opening, then dries down to a fruity tropical and floral scent.
This really reminds me of the old school Jlo Live with a more sophisticated twist. That being said I do wish it lasted longer on the skin as it only last a few hours on me. For that reason I would say it is slightly overpriced.

Loads of fleshy yet juicy pear; some almost powdery lipsticky quality from rose, pepper and black currant sorbet mix; pinch of salt on top of it. And all that sits on flat, somewhat sweet cashmeran base. It is not awful, but not good either.
Not much of the original DNA (and that is fine, because Olympea flankers all are just too similar), and nothing that really stands apart - naturally, as the OG is surprisingly good with that unexpected saltiness and rather masterful blend.

Really love the opening, especially the pink pepper which is very peppery and combines beautifully with the rose but this quickly disappears and what is left is the smell of overripe pear which has been left for too long in the fruit bowl. Once that dies down you are left with the same generic over sweet, boring pink fragrance which have became so tediously abundant in the perfume industry in the last five or six years. Come on guys give us something new!!

Too ordinary and mainstream. Cloying. Smells cheap somehow. But I love the bottle. I expected much more from the juice in such an amazing bottle

One word - headache.

I smelled it at the store around valentine's day. My signature scent is Olympea original, so I was of course interested on this one.

And I didn't like it at all, for me personally it was too floral 🌺 and I don't like floral scents, so obviously my review is negative.

I tried it on my wrist, neck and hair. And I immediately regret it, especially since I was on my way to see a friend and I didn't like the way I smelled 😂 lasting power was also eternal haha!

I don't think it's bad, a lot of people seem to like it. But it was just way too floral for me 🌺🌸🌹
For me it smells like the original Olympêa with bunch of flowers. So the name suits very well!

A soft, shampooey artificial rose which triggers a childhood memory of filling an album with Scratch-and-Sniff stickers- an image of Strawberry Shortcake manifests itself for some reason. I expected a generic flanker, not a trip down memory lane. I'm not complaining, (although I would be if I was actually looking for a floral twist on Olympéa's salty vanilla.)

First of all, the bottle is simply gorgeous! I can't remember another one, that was this stunning from the last few years.

Second no, it's not like the original.

But yes, there are elements shared with the original.

It says sorbet on the notes that might get some people thinking Escada or other summer fragrances, but actually, when the scent settles, it's quite fresh, even maritime with a distinct salt note in common with the original.

There is a certain sweetness, but I would not say that this is a particularly sweet scent, more of a refreshing scent, meant for warm summer days with a slight sweetness to it.

I do not get any dreaded cat pee from the cassis, but then again I'm a cassis lover, so on my skin, cassis behaves.

There is patchouli, but nothing overwhelming.

In my opinion, this continues the salty seaborn theme of the original, but is a warm weather scent (not sure if it's hot weather scent, but then again hot weather is so rare where live, I mostly get to experience it only when travelling...)

And s for the vanilla, there is some, but nothing like in the original.

Test before trying, with an open mind.

So I had a sample and quite liked it, got a bottle, and for some reason, upon wearing it, it is flat, it just isnt that good..it doesnt have that attractive vanilla vibe the original has, it is floral, a warm floral, but just not very distinctive after all..in retrospect I should have bought the original,it is so pretty...maybe Blossom will do better in colder weather..the notes seem to drown each other out..in the end, not quite what I expected

Very, very generic. Smells just like any other pink perfume. Shampooish. I would use it as an everyday scent - only if it was gifted to me. Doesn't last or project. Doesn't resemble the original, at all.
Would be a nice and safe blind buy for a teenager.

out of all the olympeas this one is quite generic, with a standard fruity/floral mix. having said that it does last a long time, not one i can see myself reaching for a lot though.

On me it is like a baby of the original Olympea and burberry blush....they share the blackberry and the rose...blossom stays longer on me..generic!

I adore Olympea all year around and Olympea Intense for winter. Olympea Legend is bomb for summer and hopefully this will be perfect for spring.
Description of notes is nice, I love every single one of them.
I will be sad though if I don´t get salty vanilla in drydown.

Why transform something very outstanding and "different" into something very generic and mainstream 🤔🤔 it smells like so many other perfumes in the market, fruity fizzy and floral! After olympéa edp and olympéa intense all the flankers were big mistakes 👎

This isn’t like Idole and not a typical fruity floral, not in the least bit,,,it is true this doesn’t have the DNA of the original, but in its category, it is interesting, it isn’t harsh , it is rather smooth and creamy, like it smells super pretty , and it is all I ask from a perfume..the drydown is lovely and lingers beautifully on the skin..

Opening is Idole by Lancome, then it morphs into “your typical fruity-floral”, and the whole mixture is finished by sweet base somewhat similar to Si Fiori, alas sharper- with prominent blackcurrant note that just doesn’t want to fade. Unfortunately, above mentioned cacophony of notes resulted in a harsh and boring perfume trapped in a nice bottle. It could have been completely separate creation from Paco R., as it doesn’t carry any DNA of original Olympea.

Why, why, why with the blackcurrant? *headdesk* Every female marketed fragrance released lately seems to have that hideous (to me) note in it! What is with that note that perfumers gravitate to it? I really would like to know the appeal of it versus blackberry, which I can tolerate much more (no cat pee undertone).

Xhules, if you're in the USA it looks like you can order it online at Harrods. Shipping is pretty expensive though.

It's a nice, lighter interpretation of the original. Fruitier, more floral and tad bit airy.

I received a sample of this the other day, this is not like the original at all. This is more flowery and powdery, without the salt (to my nose)
It is a pretty perfume, but projection is poor, I sprayed it on and an hour or so later, it was gone, even my husband couldn't smell it. Sits close to the skin.
Bottle is beautiful though.

I got a sample and this is very different from the original..like I do not detect the salty vanilla, Blossom is floral, more a warm floral with some tartness, then it gets powdery, it smells pretty, feminine, I must say I love the drydown..now it is compared to Armani Si edp, I dont really think they are similar, although they have a distant ressemblance, must be the blackcurrant...the olympea is lighter....I like it enough to buy a bottle when it comes out, it is nicely done..now dont expect it have the DNA of the original, but in truth I really like this pretty perfume!

I’m super excited to try this out! Can you guys help me figure out where to purchase from the United States? Thnx

Just received a sample and i’m pleasantly surprised! It smells really good, i don’t like the original olympea because the salt note develops weirdly on my skin, but in this flanker you can’t smell the salt. It reminds me of lancôme idôle, beautiful fruity floral and fresh scent, perfect for spring and summer

I received this today and am so excited to try it.

First words that spring to mind are ‘fizzy rose’. It’s very bright and excitable. I personally get mostly a dusky rose, a little pear and black currant and the pepper ‘fizzes’ it up!
I do feel it doesn’t develop much after the middle notes-I don’t get any vanilla or salt. For me, it just remains at the heart notes.

I don’t get any resemblance to the original, I have to say, but this is a very cute, bubbly little scent which will be delightful for Spring/Summer. The scent and juice match perfectly and the packaging is just stunning.

Just tested it once, but to me, it's a sweeter more interesting Elie Saab Royal, still fresh and citrussy, just a bit rosy, with the same patchouli note. I really like it, but it has nothing to do with the original or intense version of the fragrance which i already have and like a lot. I don't get the salt note in this, and would love to wear it this spring.

Finally!
I dont like olympea that much, and i keep trying its flankers and nothing... (ok...acqua was better)
But this one... the most pleasant perfume surprise recently. I dont pick up the original DNA. Actually it smells a bit like armani Si but much more dry and woody with patchouli and (minth?)

Even though this has some shared notes with the original, it really is a different perfume.

For me, that peppercorn is pretty prominent and comes on strong in the opening.Once that settles a bit, that juicy fruity sorbet comes out, but it's still peppered so don't expect an Escada type sorbet. As it continues to dry down, that patchouli kicks in a bit and it starts to give it a slight Armani Si vibe, but only slightly. The drydown is where this shines for me, that salted caramel comes through, still with a bit of spiciness and a veil of slight woods. Overall the effect is airy and slightly musky. I don't get strong rose in this at all.

I'm still trying to figure this one out though.
