Franck Olivier Franck Olivier for women

Like LEZ 7, I was very disappointed when I got a bottle of this as a blind buy. The reviews made it sound so nice but to me it was so potent and overwhelming! It was heavy, sickly sweet (not in a fruity way but just in a weird spicy'ish sugary way), overpowering, almost impossible to wash off and it made me feel slightly nauseous! It reminded me of perfumes I would smell older women wearing years ago, although I hate to say that it's a perfume that's perhaps better suited for mature ladies! Personally, I think it's a perfume that's not recommendable for anybody of any age who has any taste!!

So, I knew immediately it wasn't right for me!! Even the bottle was a letdown. In the picture it looks so nice but in reality it doesn't look as graceful and elegant and mine was a weird almost ivory color instead of white (maybe I got an old bottle!). Also, I don't think it smells at all similar to S T Dupont Blanc, which is a perfume I've had. S T Dupont Blanc, to my nose, is entirely different (clearer, fresher, lighter and more floral) and a million times better than this perfume!

Was very disappointed with this perfume.I dont get that its floral fruity at all.To me it smells like something my nan would wear.

What is it about you, Mr Franck Olivier, that I am tempted to include your name into my top fav designers????
I have so far tried 5 fragrances from Franck Olivier collection and they all appeal to me like no other!

Franck Olivier signature I have fallen in love after first spray. It feels so good - floral-creamy-fruity-semi sweet. I can't put it in words any better than this.
The most prominent notes are peach, plum, grapefruit, heliotrope and a stray rose petal and a pinch of vanilla...
Silage and lasting power killer.
The price is a joke - it is as if Franck was paying us to get these bottles off his shelves!

When I opened the box - a huge smile appeared on my face - the box inside had lovely summer orange-green colours and the bottle was wrapped in purple, crispy gift paper. The bottle resembles ivory texture and colour. The atomizer is golden colour - not some tacky plastic - this is Franck's attitude to his customers - he pampers and nurture them using little charming details from the very moment they unwrap the box!


I am getting myself 2-3 more bottles before they are gone.
This fragrance will be my secret.
I am often asked what I am wearing, even by people who stand behind me in a queue @ the local supermarket but I have never had any intention of revealing who is behind this wonderful gem!!!

I give it 10 out of 10.
I also rate L'Eau De Franck and Blue by Franck just as high!!!!

Oh, and not only my thumbs but also my toes are up for Mr Olivier, since not only does he sign his fragrances, he also creates them himself!!!!

Mr Olivier - I officially adore you.
Keep doing the great job you do!!!

Icekat, à million thanks to you for your wonderful gift as well! You are a WONDERFUL person ! I hope you stay with us here forever! Love!

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

FRANCK OLIVIER is a rich, classy and complex bouquet of fruits and flowers. The composition is intense, well-balanced and beautiful. The bountiful fruits are sweet and voluptuous in the opening followed by the rich, colorful and strong bouquet of flowers. When I was a teenager I was into drawing fairies representing each season. If this scent can take shape and form, it would look like my imaginative gorgeous summer fairy with roses and jasmine blossoms in her auburn red hair, dressed in vibrant summer colors of green, red and orange, and holding an intricately weaved basket of ripe fruits and berries of the summer.

The first whiff of this fragrance brings gentle grapefruit scent. The blackcurrant and plum appear next with strong and sweet aroma. This fruity-berry mix is quite intense but very delicious at the same time. The floral bouquet in the heart notes is just beautiful. As other reviewers mentioned, it is very well balanced. The individual notes are not designed to stand out but to create one uniform rich and opulent bouquet. The honey like sweetness comes from heliotrope I believe and it is quite nice in this bouquet. The dry down is majestic and beautiful sandalwood, ylang-ylang and musk and perhaps just a hint of vanilla. This is the first fragrance where sandalwood really shines on my skin. I love how it is combined with vanilla and musk.

I would like to say BIG THANK YOU to my dear friend Action for sending me this perfume as a gift. I love it and definitely recommend it if you are into strong sweet fruity floral scents like me. The sillage and longevity are awesome too.

This is one of my favourite fragrances. This is so unique, completely different than today's parfums. But it is still beautiful and modern. It could be created nowedays and it just would be original.
The smell is more fruity and honey-like than floral for me. It is delicious, creamy sweet, sophisticated and very uplifting scent in the most extraordinary, classy bottle that I've ever seen.
First, I smell delicious velvety fruits (peach, plum and black currant). Then, the notes of sweet honey - perhaps it's heliotrope?- and ylang-ylang are added to the fruits. Finally, a beautiful vanilla embraces the other notes.
It smells heavenly and very expensive on me and on my Grandmother who loves it too. And as Malegria said the staying power is everlasting.
In my coutry it is very difficult to find then it's an added bonus that not many people wear Franck Olivier.

for me this is almost identical to Dupont's Blanc. Very fresh, flowery and dewy, perfect for casual wear.
I like it, but since I already have Blanc, I'm not considering buying this one..
The bottle, however, is soooooo lovely :)

This one is for fruity juice scents fans. 2 sprays are enough, else it will be overwhelming. Not bad but not mine.

i like this perfume , nice smell,and elegant

this is one of my favourite perfumes ever!!!It is just so perfect,it is so feminine,!!All the fruits and flowers make an extremely ,mild,elegant sweet,nice and well blended aroma ...It is really nostalgic.Lasting power is excellent.it is much more better than many other more expensive perfumes made by very famous perfum houses out there

A truly nostalgic fragrance. I don`t know when it was made, but some of my friends wore it in early nineties - lovely, lovely scent,more flowery then fruity.One of a kind! The staying power I remember as being everlasting.Very feminine, yet bold; very noticeable without being loud.A true treasure for the price, too.
A must-have! everyone will be asking what are you wearing...
