Green Olive Accord (fruit & leaves)

The green olive note here is impressively true to life, stalk and all, not the briny jar smell I was bracing for. I dabbed a little on my wrist and kept catching the leafy bitterness hours later. Genuinely one of the more unusual things in my collection.

I've been hunting for a realistic green olive note for ages, and this one actually nails both the fruit and the leaves instead of smelling like a candle. On my skin the leafy part stays crisp for a couple hours before the softer olive comes through.

I bought this hoping for that briny, slightly bitter olive scent and it really does open with the fruit and the leaves both coming through. It fades faster than I'd like on my skin, maybe three hours, so I just reapply. Still the most realistic olive note I've tried.
