Volare Eau de Parfum
by Oriflame
Volare Eau de Parfum presents a soft, powdery rose with a subtle green and leathery undercurrent, evoking a vintage femininity reminiscent of Lancome Tresor. Its sweetness is moderate and lightly gourmand, with notes of praline and pear contributing to a delicate, slightly synthetic bouquet that some find chemical or cloying. The scent is most consistent in its initial impression—sweet, floral, and fairly simple—without significant development over time. It wears well in spring and early autumn, with a moderate sillage that is intimate until quite close, and it lasts noticeably on clothing even after the strength on the skin fades. The bottle is widely praised as elegant, golden, and ornamental, making it a standout choice for those drawn to decorative elegance. However, the scent can feel underwhelming or out of balance for those seeking depth or a more natural floral profile.
