Olene (for women)

Jasmine, jasmine, and more jasmine. If you love jasmine, I'm sure you'll love this perfume...but as for me...it's not something I can wear.

After reading veruska's review I feel I must step into the arena delicately, lest I be mistaken for someone who secretly likes the odor of wet socks and stinky cheese. Well, ok, maybe the stinky cheese I like.

Once again, I'm amazed at how different our perceptions of the same molecules can be.

For me, 'Olene' is one bad mama jama of a jasmine. Indolic, yes, I can't deny that. So bracing at first that it nearly sucks the air from my lungs and clears my sinuses. You've got to try it to understand what I mean!
She's a diva, this jasmine, herbaceous, almost mentholated, and rocksteady to the core. And she never sleeps. Wisteria makes a play, but ultimately fails to compete.
Don't wear this to the office or to a baby shower. Do wear it to corporate takeovers, orgies, and whilst skiing.

A good floral for men too.

Unfortunately Olene is an extremely indolic white floral, such an extreme that i find it totally unwearable.The scent is very minimal and is mostly jasmine and narcissus, a floral garden with ink, smels of wet socks and some expensive cheesy smell! Yiak!
