What does Olympēa Solar smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a sequence. The white flowers pick up a fruity brightness from bitter orange, mandarin orange zest and pot marigold, while benzoin adds a gourmand sweetness and a soft, creamy feel. Oakmoss and fir balsam stay in the background as dry touches that keep the sweetness in check.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure and daily wear leading, though evening and night out also get votes. It reads clearly feminine.
