Oriflame Volare is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Volare opens with Violet Leaf, Galbanum, and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Praline. Oriflame's Volare carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Volare opens with a green, slightly tart burst from violet leaf and galbanum, brightened by a hint of pear. The heart swells with a romantic, powdery blend of rose, peony, and gardenia, evoking a classic floral bouquet. As it dries, a soft leather accord emerges, grounded by warm cedar and a touch of sweet praline, creating a sophisticated and somewhat vintage finish.
