âi remember this being the first designer perfume i owned, so i bought a bottle of this recently to revisit. such a salty summery scent and layers beautifully with other similar fragrances. canât wait to start wearing it again for the nostalgia :) i donât think the longevity and projection is as impressive as other reviews have said but still definitely worth having in your collection!â
âI have a sample from this one. It's sweet but not overly sweet. I don't get the beach smell that most people talk about. For me it's more for the autumn and winter season.Edit: I decided to buy the perfume and I was very pleased with its performance. It's a warm fragrance that might evoke creams or lotions that could indeed remind of summer, however, for me, it's more appropriate to use in the autumn/winter season.â
âSmells like 15$. Got gifted a dupe and that smells better than the original. Went to a physical location to test and it's mediocre, first 5 minutes fresh, sharp and sweet blast and then linear powdery vanilla. Bruh.â

Olivia lacks the pronounced salty-ambergris signature that defines Olympea's unique character, resulting in a cleaner but less distinctive fragrance. The clone also tends to have slightly shorter longevity and reduced projection compared to the original's impressive performance.

The clone's projection and longevity are noticeably shorter than the designer version, lasting around 4-5 hours versus 6-8 hours on Olympea. The floral heart is less dimensional in Ophylia, reading more generic rather than the distinctive water jasmine-ginger interplay of the original.

The clone substitutes ambergris with ambroxan and replaces the distinctive salt note with conventional musks, making it less refined and more linear. Longevity and projection are also typically shorter on the clone compared to Olympea's impressive 6-8 hour wear.

The clone's longevity is typically 2-3 hours shorter than Olympea, and the salty, ozonic quality of the original is somewhat muted in favor of a creamier vanilla-sandalwood base.
