The dry-down. Goddess follows the same architecture at 22–30% oil concentration vs 15-20% (EDP).
More oil, more scent. Longer wear, stronger projection. Goddess sits at the upper end of EDP-grade, overlapping with Extrait.
Read full breakdown
Designer Eau de Toilette typically contains 5–12% fragrance oil. Designer Eau de Parfum contains 15–20%. Extrait sits at 20–30%. Goddess is formulated at 22 to 30 percent oil concentration, the upper end of the EDP range, overlapping with Extrait. Higher oil concentration means longer wear, stronger projection, and a fuller scent profile. Paco Rabanne Olympea at 15-20% (EDP) is more dilute than Goddess.

65% less. Pay for the juice.Not the campaign.
You are paying for the bottle.
Designer brands charge £300 or more for a 100ml bottle. The perfume itself costs three to five pounds to make. The rest is theatre: a campaign, a celebrity, a licensing fee, a retail margin, a bottle heavy enough to feel expensive in the hand.
It is simply how the industry has worked for forty years. What has changed is the assumption that you, the buyer, don’t know.
We started The Fragrance World in the UK to make one without the designer tax. One bottle. Thirty pounds. No apology, no compromise.

Why pay more for designer fragrances
The perfumes smell like the real designer ones. Don’t last as long but well worth paying a fraction of the price so you can spray 2-3 times a day if needed.

Lush!
I recently ordered some new fragrances because of the fantastic deal and I wasn't disappointed. The goddess is an amazing scent and is definitely up there with my favourites.
Try our Paco Rabanne Olympea dupe for £4.95.
A 5ml atomiser. Enough for a full week of wear so you can decide on skin, not from a description. Worst case: out £4.95 and a week.

Made in the UK. Vegan and cruelty-free. Not affiliated with Paco Rabanne; referenced here under honest comparative advertising, protected by the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 s.11(2)(b).
No. Goddess is an independently formulated fragrance inspired by Paco Rabanne Olympea. Our perfumers study the original scent profile and formulate at 22-30% oil concentration (EDP grade) to achieve a comparable experience. It is not affiliated with Paco Rabanne.
Formulated at 22-30% oil concentration, expect 6-10 hours from a single application. That matches or exceeds the longevity of most designer EDPs at 15-20% concentration.
Yes. Every fragrance we make is vegan and cruelty-free. No exceptions.
Yes. The 5ml discovery spray is £4.95. That is roughly two weeks of daily wear from a single 5ml.
Same quality ingredients, same oil concentration range. The price difference comes from cutting celebrity endorsements, department store commissions, and brand licensing. We manufacture in the UK and sell direct. The formulation standard is the same.
We name Paco Rabanne Olympea on this page on purpose.
Goddess is not Paco Rabanne Olympea. Paco Rabanne Olympea is a registered trademark of Paco Rabanne; we are not affiliated. We reference it because it is honestly the fragrance our buyers came from. Most of them did not go back.
