Voce Viva Intensa

Orange BLOSSOM & BOURBON Vanilla. Opens with a clean citrus burst of multi-faceted bergamot, that deepens into an orange-blossom & jasmine sambac heart that's powdery, super-sweet & creamy, all resting on a bourbon vanilla base with oakmoss touches. Overall, this reads as a fluffy sweet orange blossom scent, with a super-sweet drydown. Well above average performance. Fans of super-sweet scents will not be disappointed. Contrast to Voce Viva Valentino: I'm comparing samples of these 2 side by side and these are different, but there are similarities and they have the same DNA. VVI has a slightly fruitier opening, and goes sweeter in the drydown similar to scents like I Want Choo Jimmy Choo, while VV (OG) has a prominent tonka in the base leaning to scents like Good Girl Carolina Herrera. Both have excellent performance. Contrast to Prada Paradoxe Prada: These are different, but the openings are similar. PP leans more clean and isn't as sweet as VVI and has a forward forward neroli. Both have excellent performance. Contrast to Libre Yves Saint Laurent: These are different, but the openings are similar, although Libre is more lemon-citrus and has a forward lavender note, and the drydowns are different, with VVI drying down a lot sweeter. Both have excellent performance. Contrast to Love by Kilian by Kilian: These are different, but there are some similarities both being orange-blossom forward scent. LbK has a more marshmallow-y vibe and an airy, light presentation, while VVI has powerhouse performance. Contrast to I Want Choo Jimmy Choo: These are different, but this is the most similar scent to VVI that I've smelt. The openings are a little different, with IWC being more fruity-creamy, and VVI being more powdery, clean & fruity, but the super-sweet drydowns are very similar. Both have excellent performance. Overall: Well above average performance and a beautiful, crowd-pleasing scent profile. This is the perfect scent to wear to smell like a sweet treat. For what it is, it's a love for me. Enjoy!

i really liked the og. this came out shortly after i got that one, and i always wanted to smell it but never got a chance. went to sephora today because i'm really in the mood for a nice vanilla scent i can cuddle with. sprayed this and vanilla sky by skylar and this smelled sweeter to me. i was in shock and took it home. on my skin unfortunately i get very little of that sweetness, it's a mossy floral which i do not enjoy. on clothes tho it's beautiful. lightly sweet from the vanilla and fresh. definitely will still be getting vanilla sky in the future but i'm also glad to have this in my collection. this is a very easy grab, and will also be perfect for date night. i understand why people want more complex perfumes, but the more basic ones deserve just as much love to. at least they do for me!

This is a delicious fragrance that melts down from its initial citrus burst into a warm, sweet jasmine-vanilla. Super pleasant to the nose and clearly very well-made. Not as mature or rich as YSL's Libre - a slightly lighter, more powdery, bouncier vanilla. Think if Libre was pink. If they were sisters I'd peg VVI as the younger by up to five years. In accordance with other reviews here, I have to admit it is a little same-y. I feel like I could go to the beauty department and smell 20 other fairly similar concoctions at varying price points. That doesn't take away from VVI's quality or attractiveness, but if your aim is to smell unique and leave a memorable olfactory mark on your surroundings, then you're not going to reach for this.

this is such a beautiful perfume! very feminine and sweet without being cloying, it has a syrupy quality to it. a big compliment getter from women and men as well! it reminds me of "god is a woman" by ariana grande because of the bergamot and jasmine. it's a little generic in it's sweetness but that doesn't make it less enjoyable/beautiful. definitely one of my favourite summer fragrances! edit: i felt it was worth it to leave the original review here, but my feelings on this perfume have changed a bit. this is definitely a bit too sweet for me, opening as a literal mouth-watering caramel scent. it's really interesting to see how my opinion changes on perfumes as i experiment with more!

Got the purse spray of this today. I like it! It’s nice and pleasant. However, I definitely prefer the original Voce viva over this... that one had a little more “something” to it. This is, again, nice... but nothing really all that special. A more powdery, less citrus-y version of the original. Edit: nevermind, it hit the dry down and I am in LOVE. So the originals opening is better, but this fragrance is so much sweeter, deeper, and richer. I love it. Maybe FBW?? I don’t know, we’ll see how fast I go through this purse spray. Edit 2: It’s on sale at Sephora for Black Friday so I caved and bought a full bottle. I’m so happy! Definitely worth it especially at the price it is right now.
