Volare Eau de Parfum
Volare Eau de Parfum by Oriflame is a sweet rose-violet floral with green violet leaf, pear and galbanum at the start, then peony, gardenia and rose petals through the heart. Praline, leather and cedar make the finish warmer, powderier and a little darker. It feels romantic and feminine, but not universally easy. The powder and leather can read vintage, so it is.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Volare Eau de Parfum smells like sweet rose and violet wrapped in powder, with green violet leaf and galbanum at the opening and pear adding soft fruitiness. The floral heart is rose-led with peony and gardenia, while praline, leather and cedar give the dry-down a warmer, slightly suede-like vintage finish.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe sweet and rose accords are the most obvious, but the fragrance does not behave like a purely sugary rose. Green violet leaf and galbanum give the opening a leafy bite, while ozonic and aquatic facets keep the florals from feeling too dense. The leather accord can become quite noticeable in the base, adding a powdery, suede-like shadow beneath the rose.

EDITORIAL“Oriflame Volare Eau de Parfum Review”
Volare Eau de Parfum by Oriflame is a romantic rose fragrance with a very clear personality. It opens with green violet leaf, pear and galbanum, so the first impression is not only sweet. There is a leafy, slightly crisp edge around the fruit before the perfume settles into its main floral body.
The heart is where Volare becomes most recognizable. Rose petals lead the profile, softened by peony and gardenia. On people who enjoy it, this comes across as a delicate sweet rose-violet perfume with a nostalgic, feminine mood. It is clean enough to wear casually, but the powdery texture gives it a more dressed-up, old-school polish.
The base is the part that makes Volare more divisive. Praline adds sweetness, but the reviews do not strongly support a deep dessert-like gourmand effect. Leather and cedar are more important than the note list may suggest. Some wearers describe this as soft suede under the flowers, while others get a heavier leather impression that pushes the perfume into vintage vanity-table territory.
That split matters for buyers. If you want a bright, dewy rose with modern shampoo-like freshness, Volare may feel too powdery, too sweet, or too simple. If you like classic feminine florals with violet, rose, a touch of green bitterness and a warm powdery base, it can feel charming and very good value.
Performance is also not completely predictable. The vote pattern points mostly to moderate longevity and moderate sillage, but user comments range from very fast fading on skin to strong persistence on clothing. It is worth testing on both skin and fabric before judging it. A light application is sensible if the leather or powder turns strong on you.
Volare is best seen as a budget-friendly romantic floral with a vintage tilt. It has enough character to stand apart from clean everyday roses, but it is not complex enough for someone seeking a dramatic niche-style floral. The rose-shaped bottle is part of the appeal, and the scent inside matches that image: sweet, feminine, floral, nostalgic and a little darker than expected.
FAQs
What does Oriflame Volare Eau de Parfum smell like?+
It smells mainly like sweet rose and violet with green touches, soft white florals, powder and a noticeable leather nuance in the base. Some wearers find it romantic and delicate, while others find the powdery rose and leather combination quite vintage.
Is Volare Eau de Parfum sweet?+
Yes. Sweetness is one of its strongest traits, helped by pear and praline around the floral notes. It is sweet in a powdery floral way rather than a syrupy gourmand way.
Is Volare Eau de Parfum more floral or leathery?+
The fragrance is built as a floral rose perfume, but the leather note is important in how many wearers perceive it. On some skin it stays soft and floral, while others pick up a stronger leather or suede-like dry-down.
Does Volare Eau de Parfum smell old-fashioned?+
It can. Several review patterns point to a vintage, powdery rose impression. That may appeal if you like classic feminine perfumes, but it may feel dated if you prefer clean modern florals.
How long does Volare Eau de Parfum last?+
Longevity is mixed. The strongest pattern is moderate wear, but reviews range from fading quickly on skin to lasting very well on clothing. Expect better results on fabric than on bare skin.
How strong is the projection?+
Projection is usually moderate, with some intimate wear and some stronger reports. It is not the safest choice if you need predictable power, because performance varies by wearer.
Is Volare Eau de Parfum good for daily wear?+
It can work for daily wear if you like sweet powdery florals and apply lightly. Its romantic rose character suits casual days, school, office settings and simple dressed-up occasions, but the leather-powder tone may not suit every environment.
Which season suits Volare Eau de Parfum best?+
The available seasonal votes lean most toward spring, with some support for winter. Its rose and green facets fit spring, while the praline, powder and leather can feel more comfortable in cooler weather.
Is Volare Eau de Parfum feminine?+
Yes. The fragrance is marketed and strongly perceived as feminine, built around rose petals, gardenia, peony and sweet powdery floral tones.
Is Volare Eau de Parfum a safe blind buy?+
Not for everyone. It is affordable and liked by many rose-floral fans, but the powder, sweetness and leather note are divisive. It is safer to sample if you dislike vintage florals or leathery rose perfumes.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCORESome wearer comments compare Volare Eau de Parfum with Lancôme Trésor because of its sweet, powdery floral direction. The comparison is useful as a broad reference point, not a confirmed one-to-one dupe. Volare is better approached as a simpler, budget-friendly rose-violet floral with a leathered base rather than a replacement for a richer classic.
