THE HOUSE
HERITAGE
OLYMRA was born from a deep reverence for the untamed beauty of the Greek landscape and its rare, ancient botanicals. Inspired by the grandeur of ancient Greece, OLYMRA embodies the allure of the past, reimagined for the present through the art of scent. Saffron, one of the world's most precious ingredients, has been revered for centuries, from the palaces of Minoan Crete to the rituals of ancient Greece, symbolising opulence, healing, and the divine.
EMBLEM
The OLYMRA emblem is a modern homage to our rich heritage, inspired by the saffron motif found on the Linear B tablets of the ancient Knossos Palace (located in Crete, Greece). What was once seven simple strokes representing the crocus flower’s delicate stigmas has been reimagined into fluid, elongated curves, evoking elegance, movement, and balance. Just as OLYMRA bridges the past and present through scent, our emblem reflects the harmony between ancient artistry and modern refinement.
