Volare Forever

I bought this one following a successful blind buy of Oriflame Pretty Swan. I'm now 2 out 3 successful on Oriflame blind buys - Volare Forever is wonderful. I almost can't describe what it is about it that works so well... Sat in a patisserie on the Riviera, a bouquet of white roses on the table, you order a jug of cold grapefruit juice, and the waiter brings a plate of crispy macaron. Yeah... it's like a box of macaron. Sweet fruits and rose over an almond base. It's sweet to the same extent a lot of celebrity frags are, but it's not saccharine, and it's too balanced to be syrupy and gross like them. If you want something sweetly feminine but polite enough to be worn in an office, for the small cost this one is so worth your money.

Appropriate for all year round; enough warm for winter and autumn, but will bloom in spring and summer in my opinion. Suitable for all ages, pairs with everything. Longevity is up to 5 hours and as for sillage it stays close to the skin. No projection. Has no similarities with the original Volare, this is a different perfume. A lot rosy and fruity. Notes seem to dance on the skin; other times I get sweet, others rose, and then i smell the woods. It is fruity but balanced, actually pleasant. Not overpowering. I would have wished for a more potent base, maybe more woods, but i will layer it. Between sour and sweet. Not gourmand. A lovely proportionate blend that makes me willing to wear fruity notes, despite my dislike towards them most of the time in fragrances. Citrus and almond are tamed and the sweet + fruity side seems moderate, not food-like. Notes add on the skin with the following order. No note vanishes in my opinion, i detect them all: grapefruit, raspberry, rose, cashmere, almond, then flowers with Jasmin and white musk. All blended gracefully. The perfume, as many from oriflame, does lack a "punch". Either spray a lot, or layer with patchouli, or sandalwood, or any other flower you like.

Tested it with 1mil sample vial in oriflame's sample bag and ordered it at once.I'm going to write a better review when I received my own bottle Volare forever is a beautiful rosey perfume.enough sweet but not too much.enough fruity but not too much and enough woody but not too much.it's well balanced,easy to wear whole year round and easy to like I also have volare gold and I can see their sweet fruity rose similar gene but they belong to different genres.volare forever isn't as sweet or as gourmand as her golden sister.rose and raspberry are the most prominent notes on my skin and I can't detect much of almond,grapefruit or musk.it's not invasive but is not too light or faint either.I wish I like it as I do now when full wearing

An elegant, pleasant, inofensiv smell. Powdery musky white flowers with a hint of bitterness and almonds. Makes me think of a simple silk wedding dress. Can be worn daily anywhere. It doesn't really stand out with anything in particular and it's mostly a skin scent for me.

I have recently bought this perfume. A rub on the catalog was enough to persuade me, not to mention the beautiful bottle. The smell is fantastic. Sweet, elegant, and calming fragrance. Love!
