L'Olivier

Panier des Sens · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Panier des Sens L'Olivier is a fresh, aquatic men's fragrance with a green, woody character, easy to wear on spring and summer days, whether at leisure or at work. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither dominates nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, while few choose winter. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions it gets the most votes for, and most voters read it as masculine. It opens with marine notes, then olive leaf brings a green, lightly floral touch at the heart. Cedarwood settles it onto a woody base. Sweet, spicy and creamy touches soften the edges, and a resinous trace lingers behind.

Eau de Parfum

Panier des Sens Lavande Relaxante / Relaxing Lavender Eau de Parfum is a fresh, green lavender scent with a fougère build, made for both men and women.

The base of tonka bean, cedarwood and white musk sweetens it slightly and gives it a woody footing. Fresh, floral and green tones carry a spicy touch.
