Villa Lympia

Villa Lympia by Oriza L. Legrand is a highly divisive yet quietly evocative marine floral with a strong summery character. It opens with a sharp, airy sea spray and damp sand, leading into a powdery, mimosa-driven heart that some perceive as sweetly plasticky or sunscreen-like—particularly on skin. The scent is light and airy, reminiscent of freshly laid sun-dried linen, salty sea air, and a hint of aromatic herbal warmth from immortelle. Many describe the experience as atmospheric: standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with waves crashing below and warm sun on the skin. While some find the evolution minimal, others detect shifts from sea foam to warm mimosa and salt-crusted linen, especially in warmer conditions. The performance is moderate to strong for a luminous, delicate fragrance—lasting several hours, especially on skin during summer. The scent is best suited for daytime use, particularly in coastal or beach settings, and lacks depth or complexity for cold weather or formal occasions.
