Freya is a distinctive, cool-toned fragrance with a strong woody core enhanced by fresh citrus, marine, and green notes, creating a crisp, almost Nordic atmosphere. It features a subtle floral presence—lily of the valley, rose, and wildflowers—balanced by warm, earthy base notes of sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli, giving it a refined, grounded character. The scent evokes independence, clarity, and strength, described by users as cold rather than icy, unique, and reminiscent of mountain air, forest trails, and ancient mythology. It's warmly appreciated for its sillage, longevity, and sophistication despite its fleeting availability. The perfume is widely considered a standout in Oriflame's lineup—recognized as one of the best and most memorable in their catalog—due to its originality, quality, and emotional resonance. Fans describe it as profoundly personal, nostalgic, and empowering, especially for strong, self-assured women. Despite being discontinued, it remains highly sought after, with users expressing hope for a revival or seeking substitutes with similar qualities. Though not universally loved due to its cool, unfussy profile, those who connect with it find it deeply satisfying—neither overly sweet nor floral, but invigorating, memorable, and unapologetic in its presence. It suits daytime wear, especially in spring and autumn, aligns with a strong, independent personality, and remains one of the most praised perfumes in the brand's history.
