Olympea Legend

Olympea Legend by Paco Rabanne is a rich, gourmand fragrance defined by its intense sweetness and intense sillage, offering a deeply sweet, syrupy plum and apricot core with a pronounced vanilla-tonka base. The salty sea salt note is present in the opening and blends into the amber and tonka foundation, adding a unique, slightly savory contrast to the sugary fruit and vanilla. On many skin types, the sweetness is rich and dense, with some users finding it cloying or overwhelming even with a light spritz. The fragrance is strongest in cooler weather and noted for its long-lasting performance and high projection, making it a bold choice rather than subtle. Its development is highly variable — it can shift from a heady, boozy fruit onset to a softer, warm vanilla-salt drydown over time. While some find it a deeply comforting, seductive, and unmistakable signature scent, others describe it as nauseating, synthetic, or dissimilar to the original Olympea. However, it's widely agreed that it should be tried before purchasing, especially given the strong split in user experience.
