Olim

Olim by Maison Trudon is a refined, unisex oriental fougère with a warm, spicy backbone and a delicate balsamic sweetness. It opens with bright bergamot, cool lavender, and a mineral-kissed anise that feels both crisp and slightly briny, creating a surprisingly fresh and airy entry. The mid-phase brings a soft layer of clove and pink pepper that adds just enough herbal warmth without turning spicy or overwhelming. Over time, the fragrance deepens with a resinous myrrh and buttery benzoin that give it a velvety, softly sweet dry-down, while patchouli and musk keep the base earthy and grounded. Unlike heavier orientals, Olim doesn’t project heavily—sillage is moderate and intimate—and its longevity is consistent, often lasting 8 to 10 hours with a subtle, lingering presence. The composition is intricately balanced, allowing the notes to flow seamlessly, evoking a sense of quiet elegance and timeless refinement, reminiscent of classic barbershop scents but elevated with a more mysterious, regal aura. It feels like wearing a polished piece of history, ideal for cooler weather or when one wants a perfume with sophistication and quiet depth.
