OLO Fragrance Review | An Ode to Wyeth (Rave!)

OLO Fragrance is Heather Sielaft's Portland-based independent perfumery. According to OLO's website, their perfumes are at least 85% completely natural, and synthetics are sparingly used. OLO also refrains from using animal testing, alcohol, and aldehydes in their products. All their perfumes include fractionated coconut oil, essential oils, key accords and absolutes.

As my first purchase, I went with a 9ML bottle of Wyeth ($45 USD). Heather also kindly included a Palo Santo sample in my order, but I'm saving that sample for a different review.

I gifted myself Wyeth as a post-finals celebration gift. Sometimes, a girl's gotta treat herself! I don't usually blind buy perfumes, but Wyeth's name and description were too good to be true. Although Heather didn't name Wyeth after the Wyeth generation--it's no secret that the Wyeths are my favorite artists of all time. It also helps that I'm obsessed with landscape-inspired perfumes. Basically, Wyeth and I were meant for marriage.

On to the rave and review!




This review is going to be a little...different. Because Wyeth leans more towards the artsier, abstract side of perfumes--I figured it requires an equally abstract start-off. 

If I had to describe Wyeth in a song, it would be "Young as the Morning, Old as the Sea" by Passenger. This perfume truly allows me "To be free as the birds that fly past me / Light as the fish in the sea / To be wise as the mountains / And tall as the trees." Wyeth cloaks its wearer in the quieter side of freedom and adventure.
