Olm – Extrait de Parfum

Zoologist's Olm leads deep into a limestone cave, where rainwater has hollowed out porous rock over millions of years. There lives the olm – a salamander that lost its colour and eyesight in complete darkness. This Extrait de Parfum translates that subterranean world into a cool, mineral fragrance.

Olm smells earthy, aquatic, and green: a water cave accord, iodine, and limestone open cool and mineral like damp stone, before algae, soft amber, and sandalwood intertwine at the heart into a soft, green core, while the base of oily musk notes, cashmeran, and Iso E Super provides a velvety, earthy-musky finish.

Olm works best all year round, best in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone who loves cool, mineral compositions.

What makes this fragrance special to us: how Spyros Drosopoulos translates a cave into perfume – you can practically smell the damp limestone, long before the warmth of the musk settles over it.
