Interview with a perfume critic: Evaluation and reviews of popular fragrances.
Perfume critic: a rare profession. It is a person who has dedicated their life to studying fragrance...
Young, ambitious, and uncompromising — this is how one can describe the perfume brand Olakala, born in Germany in 2025. From its very first days, the brand established itself as a bold player on the niche scene, aiming to create unisex fragrances of the highest quality. Olakala does not follow trends — it sets them, offering a fresh perspective on modern perfumery.
The brand's philosophy is built on the principle of "fewer rules, more emotions." All compositions are released exclusively in eau de parfum concentration to allow each note to unfold fully and provide the wearer with a luxurious trail. The founders of Olakala bet on the purity of ingredient quality and unexpected accords that are memorable from the first breath.
Despite its recent debut, the brand already has a circle of devoted fans. Special attention is drawn to Olakala – Citron Bleu — a bright, sparkling citrus cocktail with hints of blue lavender and cool mint. This fragrance is a breath of freshness for those seeking an energetic yet refined unisex.
A real sensation turned out to be Olakala – Oudysseus — a bold reinterpretation of classic oud. In it, the traditional woody profile intertwines with smoky accents and sweet balsam, creating an almost mythical sound. An ideal choice for evening outings and connoisseurs of deep, multi-layered compositions.
The collaboration with the perfume laboratory Parfums d'Elmar brought the brand another hit — Olakala – Mango Wooud x Parfums d’Elmar. This fragrance is a real fireworks of sensations: juicy mango meets velvety oud and spicy spices, giving birth to a tropical but not cloying story. Exoticism here coexists with a noble woody base, making the composition versatile for any season.
Fans of gourmand surprises should pay attention to Olakala – Neighbour's Cherries. The cherry mood here is presented unconventionally: instead of the usual sweetness — the tartness of liqueur, almond bitterness, and barely noticeable leather. This is not just "cherry," but a whole provocative story that unfolds on the skin over several hours.
It is important to note that Olakala does not yet divide its line into collections — each release is perceived as an independent artistic statement. This approach allows perfumers working with the brand to not limit their imagination and create truly unique olfactory portraits. Although the names of the creators are kept secret, the quality of execution speaks to the highest level of mastery.
In addition to bright compositions, the brand pays great attention to bottle design — minimalist geometric shapes, matte glass, and metallic accents emphasize the modern character of the brand. Each Olakala bottle is an art object that you want to look at and hold in your hands.
Olakala is a brand for those who are not afraid to try something new, who value individuality and quality. Take the first step towards getting to know this young German house — and perhaps one of its fragrances will become your new olfactory talisman. And we will certainly continue to follow new releases and share the most interesting ones with you.
