Serial Sampler #39

I have another perfume sample to share today. Again, I can’t remember how long I have had this one, but I know I haven’t smelled it before. I always mean’t to test it sooner, but didn’t for reason, so now is the time!
 
It is Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.
 
“The divine perfume with a fresh oriental signature; it’s sparkling green tangerine top notes reveal a unique salty vanilla accord. Then it’s addictive heart of captivating jasmine and ginger Lilly scents unveils a sensual ambergris and cashmere wood base”

Launched: 2015
 
Type: Oriental Floral / Feminine

Notes
Top: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin and Ginger Flower.
Middle: Vanilla and Salt.
Base: Cashmere Wood, Ambergris and Sandalwood.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this fragrance, I assumed it would smell like an ‘old lady’ floral but I was very wrong. It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really smell the Water Jasmine, Ambergris and Sandalwood notes. I really do like this scent and probably would wear it. It reminds me of the Lady Million (my favourite) fragrance, but deeper and more mature smelling. Some hints of it also remind me of the Mugler Alien Man Fusion fragrance. I would say it is more of an evening scent as it is strong in a deep way, but it is not too overpowering. I would also class it as unisex, but maybe bordering more on the masculine side. I do recommend that you give this one this whiff; I wouldn’t recommend blind buying it though as it will surprise you. I probably won’t buy a bottle as I already have two bottles of the Lady Million fragrance and I’m not sure if Olympéa is maybe too on the masculine side for my tastes, even though I do like it. I feel like I would like to smell it on a man more than on myself.
 
You can purchase the Paco Rabanne Olympéa Eau De Parfum in 30ml (£48.00), 50ml (£64.50) and 80ml (£82.50) from PacoRabanne.com.

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...
