I've been wearing this off and on in the warm seasons for years. The fact that every spring I keep coming back to it says something. This is probably one of the best spring early summer florals ever created. It certainly is the wisteria perfume that I have come across. Though very few perfume has wisteria in it. It's typically drowned out, or takes such a stand backstage other notes make it unnoticed. Wisteria hits front and center and hangs around for the duration. It gives the honeysuckle a run for the money. This is truly an ethereal floral, that is the sweetest wet green fresh spring flowers. This perfume is so very pretty. That's the most common compliment I get wearing this.

I buy a full bottle every year and use it once a week or so, especially as a method of self-care to smooth over difficult mornings. Sure, the first spray is moderately intense, but that doesn’t last long. On me, this lasts about 3-4 hours, w/projection a bit more than a skin scent & vaguely detectable on my pillow the next morning. I’ve collected the best jasmine & tuberose white florals but prefer this to versions like Aqua Universalis Forte et al. because it seems more youthful and cheery, far less ‘old lady’.

Years ago, 1990 to be exact, the store manager of the Ralph Lauren store in NY used to wear this perfume. He must have marinated his clothes in it because it arrived before he did and stayed in the room hours after he left. I cannot smell it without an association with that man. It quite femme, really aggressive in that late 1980s Giorgio era. Think of all those notes marching together in one bottle: wisteria, jasmine, narcissus, honeysuckle. It is too much and has a suffocatingly flowery militancy that is unrelenting.

Wisteria, in the spring... by the magnitude. Cascading their inflated violet coloured flowers trundled down in in masses as high as the eye can see and as far. Ass it creates a tunnel of flowers, vines, leaves, and a scent that is so ethereal and heavenly. But as you walk on the soft grass underneath the trundles of wisteria, you'll see, honeysuckle and narcissus and you will smell it too. That is the experience of Olene. Every time I inhale this lovely elixir of springtime flowers. Right back to my childhood, under the Wisteria trees. One must be a true floral love to appreciate this one. It does come on strong st first. It hangs around for a while. Just like I want it to This is my kind of perfume

I was looking something that smelled like Jasmin 17. This one was ok, but not quite what I was looking for.

I love florals and a few other Diptyque perfumes have wowed me, but this smells terrible on me. I usually love all the notes individually. It made me feel mildly sick to my stomach. I smelled like an old lady. I washed it off.

This is a very pretty floral... but that's it: there are no top notes and no base notes, it's just white and yellow flowers. I don't personally get a tea note, but I do get a sense that all parts of the flowers, including stems and leaves, have been used, as there is some hint of greenness. It's not overly sweet or indolic, which is what makes it so unique, but beware, it is a heady little thing, especially right after spraying...

I love, love, love this scent. I am amazed by the hypnotic reality of the white flowers.It is a true rendition of wisteria,jasmine,narcissus and honeysuckle. There is a greenness to Olene, no sweet cloying notes that often appear in white floral scents. I have used a whole bottle already. Simply gorgeous!

It smells like jasmine green tea on me. My mother (little over 50 y.o.) find it very womanly. My hippy-friend consider it very oriental (that also back us to Japanese tea theme :). Anyway, it is pure and morning scent. Sometimes i wear it just for myself as good start of the day.

This one balance out beautifully, will consider buying a full size bottle. The jasmine is so not overpowering.

This is the most beautiful floral. It smells like real spring flowers. I only tried a sample and my husband and kids loved it. I can't wait for the full size to be available so I can buy a full bottle. I've been searching for a floral scent that captures the lovely aromas of Spring. This is it!

When I used this perfume to work once, an iranian woman turned after meeting me in the stairs, claiming that she could smell orange flowers, like she had smelled back home. Are there even orange blossom fragrance in Olene? Anyway, this is a beuatiful, summery scent. I also use it sometimes in wintertimes to remind me of summer. Sumptous! Long lasting power too

This is supposed to smell like Wisteria, but I found that it smelled medicinal (a bit like mouthwash). Also, it doesn't last - after an hour, I couldn't smell a thing. It's certainly not my favourite Diptyque scent.
