Troubleshooting

Scent doesn't seem to last long

Ensure you are applying to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears). Moisturizing your skin before application can also help the scent adhere better. Consider applying a bit to your hair or clothes (with caution, testing first).

The fragrance smells different on my skin than expected

Skin chemistry can affect how a fragrance develops. Hormones, diet, and natural skin oils can all play a role. Try applying to different areas or on clothing to see if the scent profile changes.

The scent feels too strong or overwhelming

Start with fewer sprays (e.g., one or two) and apply further away from your nose (e.g., behind knees or on clothes). The 'perfect to wear in the evening' nature suggests it's designed to be noticeable.

Experiencing skin irritation after applying

Discontinue use immediately. You might have sensitive skin or an allergy to an ingredient. Perform a patch test on a small, hidden area of skin first. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Using and maintaining your Paco Rabanne Olympea Eau De Parfum is straightforward, ensuring its quality and longevity.

Application:

  1. Prepare Skin: For best results, apply fragrance to clean, moisturized skin. This helps the scent adhere better and last longer.
  2. Spritz, Don't Rub: Hold the bottle a few inches away from your skin and spritz onto desired pulse points. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application, as this can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
  3. Layering (Optional): While Olympea is a complete fragrance on its own, it can be complemented by unscented body lotions or those from the Olympea range for enhanced scent longevity.

Compatibility:

This Eau De Parfum is generally compatible with all skin types. However, if you have very sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small, discreet area before full application.

Care and Storage:

To preserve the integrity of your fragrance, proper storage is crucial:

  • Keep in a Cool, Dark Place: Store your Olympea bottle away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. A drawer or cupboard is ideal.
  • Keep Bottle Sealed: Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent evaporation and oxidation, which can alter the scent's quality over time.
  • Avoid Shaking: Unnecessary shaking of the bottle can introduce air, potentially degrading the fragrance.
