Olive Branch לעומת Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Olive Branch receives lukewarm reception from the community. While it has a pleasant scent and works well as a base layer or fabric spray, the main criticism is that it smells too strongly of the Lush store brand itself, which limits its appeal for regular fragrance wear. The owner rarely uses it despite acknowledging its quality.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
