   |  There's plenty of body to Volupte, it's sweet, rich and floral with incredible lasting power. Everything sits on a base of ambergris, though I'm certainly not fan it's accompanied by plenty of patchouli, so one gets the character of the amber but not the oftentimes nausating fecal note.Volupte is indeed very nice and it carries a certain amount of feminine elegance and maturity. 27 October 2009 |
  | Voluptuousness indeed. Again, I'm not usually a heliotrope fan, but it works here -- it's blended in so artfully that it gives a powdery softness to this floral extravagance without doing it what it often does and stealing center stage. Amazingly good buy, this one. 10 January 2008 |
  | Have been wearing this since it first came out, and it is now readily available in discount venues. Rose and violet are the two major notes on me, with hints of lily of the valley. Starts off quite strong but settles down quickly. A staple of my wardrobe when I want a floral blend. 17 November 2007 |
 |  My feeling about Volupté is, I'm not compelled to wear it, but if I could be hugged by a nurturing woman who was wearing this, it would smell like I was being welcomed to heaven. This floriental must bear resemblance to fragrances I associate with loving women from my childhood in the 1960s. Notes: top notes combine fresh fruit and florals like mimosa, freesia and tagette. Jasmine, heliotrope and carnation blend with a base of amber, sandalwood, incense and patchouli. Classy but approachable. I'm one of those strange souls who isn't a fan of oriental frags so I can quite give this an up thumb. 27 July 2007 |
 | This seventy-plus lady just snagged an EDT of this powerhouse for minimum clams and is again happily reveling in its - voluptuousness. A refined voluptuousness. On my bod and to my nose it is like other DLR's in that it is seamless and sort of "settled" like it knows itself. A mixed bouquet of summer flowers in the late evening air. 28 June 2007 |
  | Some weeks ago I smelled this on an very elegant old lady (maybe she had 70 years) and it smelled wonderfull. Flowery-powdery, full and rich, but not overpowering. I couldn't identify any single ingredient exactly, because ist was blended so harmoniously. (I think, there can be rose, civet, orris and tagete in it.) Maybe takemyhusbandplz and marritza had bad bottles or it didn't fit their chemistry. But it isn't stinky at all. It's an opulent, sophisticated perfume, better for the evening then for the office - and not only for 70 year old women. 03 February 2007 |
