|  Olene is a white-hot white floral that sears itself into your brain like a lightning bolt. Jasmine and muguet, but lacking the smooth, pleasing roundness of the real flowers, being both a simpler and more stripped down accord as well as being ten times louder than nature's version. This is a sharp fragrance, but surprisingly not heavy given the volume of the sillage. It lasts a long time, too, developing a slight mushroomy quality far into the base I've yet to identify. Bold and shocking but not particularly unique or interesting, this is a floral with amphetamine psychosis. 04 August 2009 |

|  a big bouquet of white flowers, jasmine, narcissus, just pureness with last powdery musk ?? and taking uncommom vine/rattan as the heart top as warm green breeze, feminine with plain sweetness i have to admit i love it 16 April 2009 |

|  Quite nice but quite similar to Do Son. I have both samples with me and neither I nor my wife can tell the difference. Could they have placed the same fragrance in two sample vials by mistake? 28 February 2009 |

|  I found it was too fresh and too watered down for my taste, I prefer sweet fragrances to have a lot of depth and this one does not. I think you can and I have found many easily available perfumes that evoke pretty much the same effect for less than a third of the price. 11 November 2008 |

|  Olene is a big, heady, indolic jasmine, and whether or not it contains the night-scented species, it creates a profoundly nocturnal ambience. It’s a touch clearer, cooler, and drier that Serge Lutens’s A la Nuit, but it is a similarly weighty fragrance. As it ages on the skin Olene's indoles grow even more potent and prominent, without the honey and spice that season the jasmine in A la Nuit’s floral oriental context. In this regard Olene comes close to being a true soliflore, one of relatively few in modern perfumery. As so many other Diptyque compositions, Olene is a relatively linear scent, sustaining its bold jasmine accord for hours before drying down to a musky, woody base. Olene is a potent fragrance: it projects well and leaves an ample cloud of sillage behind it. If you’re looking for a straightforward jasmine scent, I recommend you give Olene a try. 15 October 2008 |

|  Olène is a pretty white floral scent but it’s too feminine for me too pull off, especially during the drydown. 27 September 2008 |
