One shopper wrote: "Smells so nice and it [really] does smell like Olympea and [it's] worth the money I will be buying more thank you."

Another added: "Fantastic, smells just like the real thing, very happy."

A third said: "Perfect dupe for one of my fave scents. I use it for everything! Myself, my clothes, my bedding even! The fragrance lasts & lingers but [is] light & fresh!"

Another shopper added: "Smells like [Olympea] at a fraction of the cost! Definitely recommend."

One buyer said: "Instead of forking out loads of money for Olympea, try this instead! It smells exactly the same and although the smell doesn't last as long as the real thing, it's still a good price considering!"
