O-LIVE: THE SPIRIT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN IN A NEW FRAGRANCE
AVAILABLE ONLY @ OLIVELLALINE.com

From ancient symbol to modern fragrance, the olive tree now offers another facet of Mediterranean lifestyle

Its gnarled trunk and branches are intimately related with all Mediterranean landscapes, either as a few trees giving one family the olives they need for the year’s supply of oil or the endless groves of Andalusia. Capable of living for centuries on poor arid earth, the olive tree is truly a miracle of nature: its silverish grey leaves offer welcome shade in the torrid summers of the south, its wood can be lovingly turned into utensils and ornaments by craftsmen with the knowledge and skill inherited from the generations that have gone before them and their fruit produces a liquid gold which has now conquered the whole world and is discussed, selected and appreciated in the same way as fine vintage wines.
According the Greek mythology, it was the goddess Athena who is believed to have created the first tree which she gave the to the city of Attica, becoming its patron for having given it the finest gift. The people of Attica were so grateful for her bountiful tree, which gave food, oil and wood that they renamed the city in her honour: Athens. Leaving legend apart, it is however certain that the olive tree is indigenous to the eastern Mediterranean area, where some of the most ancient and refined civilizations developed. Some olive trees are known to live for thousands of years. The Greek philosopher Plato founded his academy in an olive grove and legend has it that an original tree from the grove was still alive, although no longer producing olives, until the 1980s, making it more than 2,300 years old!
The tree and its leaves have always had a strong symbolic value of serenity, fertility and peace. Olive branches used to be made into wreaths to crown the winners at the original Olympic Games and today are found on the emblem of the United Nations, which shows a map of the world encircled by a wreath of crossed olive branches. The US Great Seal also pictures an eagle carrying an olive branch. The thirteen leaves in its right talon represent peace between the original thirteen colonies of the nation.
After its cosmetics based on olive oil, the Italian company of Olivella has written a new chapter in the history of the olive tree.
With O-Live, the legendary tree now moves from myth to innovation in a fragrance with highly original notes inspired by the essence of the tree in full Mediterranean tradition. The soul of the Latin countries where the olive tree grows is translated into accords reminiscent of the Mediterranean soul, with the masculine version encapsulating passion and the feminine version sensuality, deriving from the bark of this legendary tree, a gift from nature and the gods.
The name of the fragrance also evokes a mood and Mediterranean originality. The initial, O, is a symbol of geometrical perfection and stylized with the olive-leaf, indicating immediately the origin of the fragrance tree. The hyphen symbolizes the intimate bond with the next part of the name – live – which shows all the vivacity of the Mediterranean lifestyle and its universality. Together, the two parts form O-live, the perfect representation of Mediterranean originality the world over.
