About Hey!
Hey! is a bright floral woody oriental eau de parfum for women, inspired by Olympéa by Paco Rabanne. It is the most cheerful fragrance in our range and the one that suits almost everybody.
The opening is crisp and green. Grapefruit gives a tart, sparkling start, cucumber adds a cool watery freshness that is genuinely unusual in a sweet fragrance, and magnolia brings a creamy floral lift. It smells like cold fruit on a hot morning.
The heart is where the personality arrives. Apple keeps the fruit going, tuberose adds a heady creaminess, and white muguet, rose and violet build a soft, powdery bouquet around it. There is a flirtatious quality here, a sweetness that never becomes cloying because the green notes from the opening keep threading through.
The finish is warm and salty-sweet. White amber gives a glowing, slightly powdery vanilla warmth and soft woods hold it against the skin. It is the kind of dry-down that makes people lean in and ask what you are wearing, and it lasts comfortably through a long day into an evening.
Wear it in spring and summer, in daylight or after dark, to work, brunches, dates and weekends away. Three sprays. It is a good first fragrance, a good gift, and a good choice when you want to feel light on your feet without smelling like everyone else.
If you love Olympéa
If you love Olympéa by Paco Rabanne, Hey! shares its DNA in the fresh green opening, the creamy tuberose and floral heart and the salty-sweet vanilla amber base that made the original such an easy fragrance to fall for.
Ours is greener at the start. The cucumber is more noticeable in our opening, which gives a cooler first impression, and our white amber is slightly less salty and a shade more powdery in the finish. The original has a heavier vanilla presence; ours feels lighter on the skin. Longevity is good at around seven hours, with projection that settles after the first two. Hey! is inspired by that fragrance and has a similar character, but it is an original composition rather than a reproduction of it.

When to wear it
Spring and summer are where it belongs, and it moves happily from day into evening. It suits work, brunches, weekends and dates equally, and it is light enough for warm weather without disappearing. Three sprays at the wrists and throat. The 100ml at R200 makes sense for a fragrance this easy to reach for every morning.
Questions people ask
Does Hey! smell like Olympéa?
It shares the same fresh-and-creamy character and the salty vanilla amber finish that people love in Olympéa by Paco Rabanne. Ours is an original composition inspired by that fragrance rather than a reproduction, and it is greener up front.
Is it suitable for summer?
Very much so. The grapefruit and cucumber keep it refreshing in heat, and the amber base stops it from vanishing by lunchtime the way lighter fragrances often do.
Would this work as a gift for a teenager?
It makes a good gift for younger wearers because it is cheerful, easy to like and inexpensive to try. The 30ml at R70 is an ideal introduction.
What does it layer with?
It sits beautifully over a vanilla or coconut body lotion, which deepens the amber base. Avoid strong floral body sprays, which compete with the tuberose.
