Head Over Heels

I just ordered this today. I bought this back in 1995 from the Belk counter when it was still sold under Ultima II. At the time I didn’t know it was under Revlon. I also had a very good big eyeshadow palette from them, it was gorgeous. I loved this perfume at the time. When allergies got the best of me I stopped wearing perfume, only body sprays. So I decluttered my perfume collection. I swear I kept this bc of the bottle, but I yet to find it. We had a fire in ‘99, but I still had after that. We have had 3 transition periods since all that. I still hope I find my vintage bottle. I don’t expect much bc research says this is different. I really loved the og, fresh, fruity, floral...still lean toward the fruity florals. I will edit when this gets here to see if it is the same as the og or if I find my old bottle😊 She’s here and here are her notes, which is exactly what I am smelling. Original (1994) Top Notes: Melon, plum, peach Heart Notes: Rose, jasmine, geranium Base Notes: Cedarwood, moss It is bright, fresh, fruity, floral, & a lil woody. Oh so vintage, just like me🤟🏼 And this bottle, JPG ripped em off!! I will wear this every now & again, but sparingly bc it can get cloying to me. Still a beautiful scent!

I love it! Have worn it since the 90's. I am asked on a regular basis what I'm wearing. I have always gotten compliments on this fragrance. There are many fragrances that I cannot wear, because of my body chemistry. Head Over Heels is a great one for me! Although, I have noticed a slight change in the fragrance over the years. It was originally made by Ultima II, but now seems to be a Revlon product. Now when you first spray it on, there is a woody, musky smell, but that disappears in a matter of minutes. It doesn't have the staying power it once use to have either. I suspect more alcohol in the formula. I always layer it with the lotion and it seems to alter the smell somewhat, and I think makes it more pleasing.

The bottle is soo beautiful and unique. The scent is soo sexy and I really like it, people use to turn their heads when I walk beside them and some people use to ask me what I am wearing and they tell me that the scent is delicious and unique ;) Today I tested on my skin "Sunflowers- Elizabeth Arden" and I got surprised it smelled just like "Head Over Heels", amazing I couldn ́t believe it !!! Trust me if you want to know how "Head Over Heels" scent is just test "Sunflowers" from Elizabeth Arden ;)

Hi Geegee, really funny to see how people smell differently! I get a lot of melon, melon all over the place and a lot of plum as well. I like Head over heels very much, it is strong and has very good sillage! Good luck! Action

Well I remembered this when I was young but never had it. I found it for 5 euros and I decided to buy it. I didn't remember how it was smelling. Even after reading the reviews, I thought that it is ok if it smells similar to Sunflowers. Luckily it smells awful lot like Sunflowers. The begining is kind of more synthetic and cheap but after an hour it is difficult to tell the differences. I love Sunflowers so it is only natural to like this one. I don't like it as much as Sunflowers though. Be careful, one spray is enough. It has big sillage and longevity so you don't want other people or you to suffocate (and it is difficult to take it out even after scrubing it). It is so interesting that back in the days even these mass market perfumes had great sillage and now even if you pay a mini salary for a perfume it might dissapear after a while. In any case, I liked the perfume so I didn't regret it and I am happy that I liked the content. I will leave it for spring though since it is ultra floral. I am also happy that since I haven't brought Sunflowers with me (I have left it in my other country), I can use this instead. I am even thinking of buying the Limited Edition Blue version of this bottle.

I've bought this on sale because of the pretty bottle. A nice collector's item. As vioversilver said the scent itself is nothing special. A mix of banana, melon and some spices or nuts. Will be good for a teenage girl.

Peach, melon and plum are NOT the notes on my skin or to my nose. This went on a crisp, light floral that smelled like Lily of the Valley with oakmoss and some musk.

i had this perfume ,cant say that i loved it but i just liked it.nothing special yea bottle was nice but still i wouldnt want to buy it again .

Update:This has really grown on me for hot days and smells remarkably like Thierry Mugler Eau de Star. The latter has more refined aquatic notes but they are very similar. I bought this because of the sexy bottle. I can't resist packaging that shows high heels, garters, legs, busts, etc. This was inexpensive when I bought it about 20 years ago so I wasn't super disappointed that it wasn't a fabulous scent. There's nothing really wrong with it, it's OK for Summer grocery shopping and I even wore this hiking once but I wouldn't say it's spectacular. It sure looks great with my other bottles though! I have to wonder how it's legal for Jean-Paul Gaultier to blatantly rip off this bottle design.

See another review below for the full list of notes because the ones listed here are only the top notes. This is a very sweet floral fragrance however it does have that vintage smell underneath. It is still likeable perfume. But I will not be reaching for this very much. It makes me a little bit nauseous I can taste it in the back of my throat. I like to spray so that I can smell it. No one has complained that I am i loud. I actually have to get up close to somebody like a hug for them to smell it. I recommend if you like vintage sweet floral that is not offensive.

While this is not an active dislike for me, it's also hard to say I like it because I almost never want to wear it. I also laugh because my husband once complimented me on it. It seems like a very simple fruity floral, which becomes almost metallic smelling on my skin after it dries down. It seems like they were going for a bit of an aquatic feel here, but it fell short. Not as much unpleasant as weird. I bought it for the silly bottle anyway, and in the process got a compliment.

There's a Helen of Troy perfume housed in the same bottle with a similar box (umbrellas instead of shoes.) I wonder if it's the same one? There's also Helen of Troy II with a yellow skirt. I'm so intrigued!!

First I thought of L'eau D'Issey, then I thought of Sunflowers. Similar to both and not as nice as either of them. Great bottle, though.

Let's be honest. This one's a stinker from the early 80's. It's fun, retro bottle reminds me of the Stray Cat Strut or Sexy and 17 songs made popular in 1983 by American Rockabilly group, The Stray Cats. IMHO, the spicey floral combination is not blended well, which makes it the fragrance equivalent of a bad perm, an ill-fitting jacket with large shoulderpads, a short, tight mini, red pleather pointy shoes, and bright geometric design shirt with matching earrings, bracelets, and necklace. You might be able to made one or another element work alone, or with something else in the closet, but this assemblage just doesn't go well together. To me, this one is fun to try when you are 17, but it just doesn't work now. And really tried to like this one for the bottle alone. It wins most original bottle but that is about it. If anyone has had success laying it with something else for a better effect I would love to read about it. It could possibly work well layered with something else, but I haven't been willing to sully my wrists to try that yet.

I admit I bought this head over hills forthe bottle,lol&being curious,big mistake,I have a 3.2oz bottle,edt version,SWAMP?=(um I do not like this scent,to me it smells very not me,not good,my opinion,it smells like perfumes my mom owned when I was young,like just gross,granted she had better ones,but cute bottle,so win&loose.Lasts 1&half hours 2 max,barely there at 3hours very close to skin,no fruit I smell only green something.

I bought this perfume online a few days ago. I just tried it out and I can honestly this is the worst perfume I've ever had. It's smells exactly like our toilet spray and the worst part is that about a minute after I sprayed it on my wrist, I have the most horrible headache I've had in a long time and I am someone who hardly has headaches... I can not stand this smell for another second so I'm going to scrub it off right now!

Very strong melon and plum with a bit of soft peach....and perhaps musk? I don't find it overly sweet, but it is long lasting. Unfortunately, this doesn't smell good on me, probably due to the heavy melon. Head Over Heels has a very synthetic chemical smell that doesn't change with the drydown. I don't plan to wear this fragrance, but the bottle is a cute, unique additon to my vanity table.

This is certainly a fruity scent. There's something jolly and lighthearted about it. There is a kind of plastic smell in the mix after it's been on my skin for a couple of hours which I am not enjoying. I am a fan of oriental florals and foral woody musks, so I'm going to experiment with layering this perfume with others from my collection to make it work for me.

Luckily, I just bought this at a bargain on ebay for the cute bottle because it really smells awful on me. I agree with some reviewers who say it smells like EA sunflowers which I also dislike. It just doesn't work on me but, the bottle is really cute and looks great on my fragrance display.

Bought it for the very cute bottle. At first I cannot stand it. After a while it smells ok, fruity. But it all smells very synthetic and chemically. I think I smell melon. :) Would be good for a young girl, but I really don't think I will ever like this one besides for the cute bottle!
