What does Olyssia smell like?

Neroli, cardamom and bitter orange open bright and citrusy, with the cardamom adding a light spice. In the heart, jasmine and orange blossom bring the floral side forward, while vetiver and sandalwood settle the scent onto a quiet woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and office are the occasions named most often. It leans feminine, though some voters read it as masculine. Paolo Gigli Excentrique pour Femme and Ferrari Bright Neroli have a close profile.
