Olive

Olive by KKW Fragrance is a clean, airy, and unisex fragrance with a subtle earthy sweetness that lingers in the background. It opens with bright aldehydes and bergamot, giving a crisp, slightly synthetic freshness that some find underwhelming or fleeting. The heart features dewy rose water, jasmine, and freesia, which unfold into a distinctly woody, amber-laden base grounded in patchouli and vetiver. While the sillage and longevity are moderate to weak, the scent is praised for its soft, balanced profile that feels authentic despite the low price. It tends to take on a light, cozy warmth reminiscent of aged paper or a quiet country cabin, with some consumers detecting similarities to E&J Nirvana Bourbon, French toast, or vintage Irish Spring in its fresh, pleasant simplicity. The scent is versatile—ideal for casual wear, layering with oils, or as an introductory woody scent for those new to fougères or incense accords—though it lacks the depth or complexity of higher-end niche perfumes.
