Olivier Ondé Eau de Parfum

Olivier Ondé Eau de Parfum opens with a crisp, green burst of eucalyptus, lime, and star anise, layered over a faintly medicinal yet well-integrated olive tree note. The heart features aromatic cypress and geranium, creating a soft, leafy texture, while the base settles into a refined, earthy blend of cedar, vetiver, and patchouli, enhanced subtly by violet and elemi resin. The overall impression is of a naturalistic, modern woody fragrance—evoking walking through a Mediterranean forest after rain, with a quiet, confident masculinity. It presents itself as both fresh and grounded, leaning toward the aromatic and green with a subtly powdery dry down. Longevity is moderate, with sillage on the moderate side, leaving a close but discernible trail. The fragrance is widely appreciated for its natural feel, balance, and restrained elegance, often drawing comparisons to Terre d'Hermes and Vert d'Ensemble, but with greater refinement and less sweetness.
