Which Should You Buy?
A luscious, sophisticated twist on the La Vie est Belle DNA - an indulgently fruity elixir with creamy gourmand depth and a plush rose heart. Perfect for those who crave a sweet signature with a grown up edge.
Volare is a divisive rose fragrance, with many getting a dated, synthetic quality while others enjoy its sweet, powdery character. It's often compared to Lancome Tresor, offering a more delicate take, but be warned: some claim it needs to "macerate" to truly shine.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rich fruity sweetness and deep gourmand undertones make this a strong fit for fall and winter, but uplifting raspberry and bergamot allow it to shine in spring's transitional weather. It may feel a bit dense for the hottest summer days.
Occasions
Its bold, sweet and sensual profile is perfect for romantic dates and evenings out. While vibrant and inviting for casual wear, it may be overpowering for the office or sporty scenarios.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally soft floral-sweet profile make it suitable for casual wear or a more intimate date. While some perceive a vintage elegance, its controversial performance and scent profile keeps it from being a universal formal or office choice.
