Olyssia, from Sylvaine Delacourte was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. The notes are Bitter Orange, Cardamom, Jasmine, Mandarin Orange, Musk, Orange Blossom, Petitgrain, Sandalwood, Vetiver.
Personally, my least favourite of the collection but only a taste thing really, although I did describe it as 'Orange shake n vac' in my instagram review. This subsides and it becomes quite a pedestrian, femme floral, but soapy clean jasmine approximation. Much nicer when dried all the way down because the creaminess of the orange blossom, effectively the 'base' of this perfume comes out to play and is actually very pleasant indeed. Not my bag though, the bit I liked is masked in stuff I found very passe.
This opens poorly for me, either showing how carefully crafted Orange flavour ‘shake n vac’ is or how this isn’t? I can’t decide? Clear orange note opens a clean musks & sharply soapy sort of floral scent, drying down to something which emerges as a nice Jasmine approximation. It’s a more ‘designer’ feminine affair you’ve smelled a million times, at least to my sensibilities...Does get much nicer after a couple of hours when it’s a soft Jasmine and you can actually smell the creamy Orange blossom, very pleasant indeed but can’t forgive masking that with an altogether cheaper vibe, still Not my bag.
