   |  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 |
   | This scent was worn by the eccentric, androgynous and manipulative manager of the Polo Ralph Lauren store in NYC 15 years ago. Wherever he went, this red haired fop carried this smell all over the store. To smell it was to smell power, but power exercised to intimidate and belittle. I agree that this smell is equally as feminine as masculine, but it is also obnoxiously assertive and stays in a room hours after the wearer has left it. 20 March 2007 |

| Very synthetic in my opinion. And, unattractive as well. It continued to worsen with the drydown. Such a shame. 22 January 2007 |
 | Olene's description on their website: Wisteria and narcissus. The water evokes a deep and mysterious twilight of white, slender and starry flowers. The description was lovely, but I should of known that this white floral wouldn't go with my chemistry. This one turns into pure MOTH BALLS on my skin and it lasts forever which isnt a very good thing 23 November 2005 |

| Olene is powdery white flower petals, soapy, fresh and subtle yet long lasting. It smells like the soapiness of Annick Goutal's Eau du Sud blended with the white flowers of Jessica McClintock (both of which should only we worn by women). The dominant notes in Olene are foremost white flowers with undertones of lemon and wood. Olene is not one bit masculine, and any man who wears this has some MAJOR gender issues. 06 March 2004 |
