Olandria Carthen: A Certified Perfume Enthusiast
A Scented Collaboration
Olandria Carthen’s passion for fragrance is as unmistakable as her on-screen charisma. The Love Island USA runner-up has recently embarked on a new chapter, partnering with iconic British fragrance house Jo Malone to introduce its latest olfactory creation: “Yuzu Zest.” Inspired by the effervescent energy of its namesake citrus, this sparkling new scent is a luminous and refreshing addition to Jo Malone’s celebrated portfolio.
An Instinctive Partnership
For Carthen, the collaboration was nothing short of serendipitous. “I’ve been obsessed with their fragrances for years—I was already saying yes before I even heard the rest of it,” she revealed in conversation with Hypebae. Her enthusiasm only intensified after experiencing “Yuzu Zest” herself. “Everyone knows I’m a little fragrance obsessed,” she admits. “‘Yuzu Zest’ has me especially enchanted—it’s bright, fizzy, and incredibly fresh. It’s the scent of spring giving way to summer.”
The Art of Balance
While many fruity scents can veer into cloying territory, “Yuzu Zest” stands apart for its sophisticated harmony. Carthen is particularly drawn to its clarity and balance. The vibrant citrus is tempered by earthy cedarwood, lending an elegant depth that grounds the fragrance. The result is a scent that feels both exuberant and refined—a distinctive signature in the Jo Malone collection that speaks to both vivacity and sophistication.
