Ultra Glam delivers a soft gourmand snapshot that opens with sharp star anise, pink grapefruit, and bergamot. It transitions into a powdery floral heart of heliotrope and jasmine before drying down into a warm, creamy base of praline, vanilla, and benzoin. The texture feels light, sugary, and delicately velvety throughout its wear.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant vanilla and sweet praline accords dominate the skin after thirty minutes, creating a cozy dessert profile. Powdery heliotrope buffers the sweetness with an almond-tinged floral softness, while background notes of benzoin and sandalwood provide a subtle resinous anchor that keeps the gourmand notes smooth rather than sticky.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Oriflame Ultra Glam Review: Playful Sweet Praline Meets Star Anise”
Oriflame Ultra Glam launches from the atomizer with an energetic contrast of bright citrus and dry aromatic spice. Pink grapefruit and bitter bergamot form a brisk outer shell, but the real star of the opening is the pungent star anise. That licorice-tinged bite cuts sharply through the immediate sweetness, giving the initial spray a surprisingly punchy edge that separates it from standard mall gourmands.
Within twenty minutes, that sharp citrus snap quietly recedes into the background. The heart brings out soft white jasmine petals fused with powdery heliotrope, which lends an almond-like floral texture to the transition. As the floral haze settles, the base takes total control. Rich praline and creamy vanilla merge with warm benzoin resin, shifting the fragrance into a cozy, sugary dessert profile that feels soft and comforting.
On skin, the dominant accords shift noticeably from spicy-citrus to powdery-sweet over the first hour of wear. The anise note stays surprisingly crisp on cooler skin, acting as an anchor that prevents the praline from dissolving into plain white sugar. As body heat warms the base, benzoin and sandalwood add a gentle balsamic warmth that wraps the gourmand elements in a velvety, skin-hugging blanket.
Performance is where Ultra Glam shows its catalog Eau de Toilette roots. Longevity sits around three to four hours on bare skin before collapsing into a subtle vanilla ghost. Projection extends to arm's length for thirty minutes before pulling back into an intimate bubble. This muted strength makes it ideal for crisp autumn mornings, office environments, or casual study sessions where heavy projection might irritate others.
This fragrance suits young women and casual collectors who adore sweet, dessert-leaning scent profiles but dislike intrusive sillage. It fills a comfortable niche for anyone who wants the cozy anise and vanilla feel of high-end gourmands without committing to a heavy, room-filling fragrance trail. The profile is playful and approachable, fitting easily into a relaxed daily wardrobe.
Ultra Glam is a charming, budget-friendly gourmand that punches above its weight in scent design while remaining modest in performance. If you love sweet praline paired with a soft licorice twist and can find a bottle at a reasonable price, it is well worth adding to your autumn rotation. Those needing all-day longevity should look elsewhere, but for quiet afternoons, it delivers effortless warmth.
FAQs
What does Oriflame Ultra Glam smell like?+
Ultra Glam opens with sharp star anise and juicy grapefruit before settling into a warm gourmand heart. As the citrus fades, powdery heliotrope and jasmine join a rich base of praline, vanilla, and benzoin. The result smells like a light, sugary anise-dusted confection on chilly autumn days.
How does the opening of Ultra Glam compare to its dry-down?+
The initial spray delivers a crisp, tart punch of bergamot and pink grapefruit coupled with pungent star anise. After thirty minutes, the citrus sharpness disappears completely, yielding to a smooth, powdery dry-down dominated by warm praline, cozy vanilla, and resinous benzoin that lingers near the skin.
How long does Oriflame Ultra Glam last on skin?+
Longevity is modest, averaging three to four hours on normal skin before fading into a subtle vanilla skin scent. Moisturizing beforehand or spraying on clothing extends the wear to around five hours during chilly winter mornings, making it best suited for brief outings or casual daytime wear.
What is the projection and sillage of Ultra Glam?+
Ultra Glam projects moderately within arm's length for the first thirty minutes. After the star anise top note softens, the projection contracts quickly into an intimate bubble. It leaves a delicate trail of powdery praline that colleagues or classmates will only notice when standing very close to you.
What season and weather suit Ultra Glam best?+
Cool autumn afternoons and crisp winter days showcase this fragrance best. Cold air tempers the heavy praline sweetness and accentuates the powdery heliotrope notes. In high summer heat, the sugary vanilla and benzoin base can feel overly dense and cloying, so save it for temperature drops below sixty degrees.
What occasions are best for wearing Ultra Glam?+
Its soft sillage makes Ultra Glam an easy pick for casual daily wear, university lectures, quiet office shifts, or cozy weekend coffee runs. While branded as a party scent, its intimate projection suits casual daytime settings and low-key evening hangouts far better than loud, crowded nightlife venues.
Does Oriflame Ultra Glam lean feminine or masculine?+
Ultra Glam leans distinctly feminine due to its sugary praline core, powdery heliotrope, and sweet vanilla backdrop. However, the bitter star anise opening gives it a subtle aromatic spice contrast that gourmand enthusiasts of any gender who enjoy licorice-accented desserts might appreciate trying.
Who is the ideal target audience for Ultra Glam?+
This Eau de Toilette targets young women and gourmand enthusiasts seeking a budget-friendly, unoffensive sweet scent. It fits collectors who enjoy dark-gourmand profiles like Lolita Lempicka but want a lighter, softer variation with a distinct citrus-anise sparkle for casual daily rotation.
Can you layer Ultra Glam with other perfumes?+
Yes, layering Ultra Glam over a simple woody cedar or sandalwood base oil grounds its sugary praline sweetness and extends longevity by two extra hours. Alternatively, pairing it with a tart citrus body lotion enhances the pink grapefruit top note and creates a brighter daytime profile.
What fragrances smell similar to Oriflame Ultra Glam?+
Ultra Glam shares a similar pink grapefruit and sweet vanilla structure with CK IN2U for Her, though it stays softer and less aromatic. The licorice-like star anise top note also recalls Lolita Lempicka, while the soft powdery dry-down shares comforting gourmand nuances with Hugo Boss Pure Purple.
