Olympéa Aqua Eau de Parfum Légère
by Paco Rabanne
Olympéa Aqua Eau de Parfum Légère is a light, summery fragrance with a soft citrus-floral opening featuring clementine and lemon blossom, leading into a warm, slightly salty vanilla base enriched with amber and delicate floral notes. The scent captures a sun-drenched, oceanic breeze with a brief yet refreshing citrus burst and an immersive, airy floral heart. It transitions into a tender, skin-like vanilla-salt drydown that feels balanced, warm, and intimate without being cloying. Though the sillage is moderate and longevity moderate to long, some find the projection faint, and the fragrance may fade more noticeably on certain skin types. It is ideal for daytime wear in spring and summer, proportionally appealing but occasionally less prominent than worn expectations. The composition leans slightly sweet with saffron and salt, creating a sensuous, gourmand-friendly aquatic experience that many describe as a refined, wearable summer standout.
