Are you tired of sweet, floral, and powdery scents? Yearning for something daring, strange, almost s...
In 2011, Phaedon introduced Oliban — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east and wood families. Pierre Guillaume — the creative mind behind this fragrance. The fragrance belongs to the Eaux de Toilette collection. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
Behind this fragrance stands France and its rich perfumery heritage. Oliban Phaedon — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Oliban is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Phaedon is clear in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the right density and pace of development.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a architectural woody mood: Frankincense, Sandalwood and Woody Accord. In this format 3 notes work as one integrated frame, creating lasting warm resonance that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The middle and base stages are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Balsamic, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the composition sits in East and Wood.
Overall Oliban sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
