Volta, So Sorry This Sultry Fragrance Didn't Work for You

Volta humorously told us the dangers of trying a fragrance on yourself and assuming that it smells great--avoid, avoid. A fragrance is greatly affected by the natural smell of your own skin, your mood, stress level, body chemisty, diet, age, and any medications you may be taking. That's why I always ask several men what they think of a scent before purchasing; I am often surprised at their diffe...read morerence of opinion, but I trust it as opposed to mine in good part. This is totally sensual on me, as it is on Sprout (verified by my husband and some good male friends and relatives). It has notes of freesia, green absinthe, peach, rose, iris, sandalwood, cashmeran, musk, amber and vanilla. I'm glad I didn't have to find out if it worked for me the hard way.

So Disappointing!!!

Burberry fragrances are a hit or miss with me. When this fragrance came out, I fell in love with it and I always found myself spraying strips of paper and taking those with me to keep smelling. It's a light fruity-floral with base notes of vanilla. It [normally] smells delicious. I work with fragrances and have to wear a uniform, so I would always spray myself with this over my clothes. The time c...read moreame when I finally bought a bottle of this (the biggest one, lol). I do love the bottle; it's beautiful. Then came the biggest disappointment of them all--actually spraying it on my skin. YES, I did spray a little on my wrists to smell it on me, and it smelled fine. However, I sprayed it on the rest of my body and something awful happened. It took a few days for me to figure it out (because we are so used to our scent and out of tune with how we might really smell to others), but I realized that this actually made me smell HORRIBLE. It smelled like body odor on me, like I hadn't showered in a couple of days. Too my horror of realizing this, I just had to return it. It's such a shame that my love affair with this fragrance turned into a nightmare. I'm the kind of person where almost all fragrances wear well, or wear okay. But I have NEVER had a fragrance smell this bad on my skin. I wish I could have just kept it for the bottle alone, but I didn't want to waste my money on a scent that I can create myself after a day at the gym (body odor).

I love...and Guys Seems to Respond

I've always said that there are some perfumes that will smell delicious to a girl and she will get a lot compliments about...from girls. And then there are perfumes that you like, but don't let...but that get every guy to ask you what you are wearing. This is a guy attracter...hands down. I smelled this scent in magazines for a few months and kept ripping out the samples and smelling to make sure ...read morethat I really liked it. After four trips to sephora to try it on...I decided that I kept going back so I might as well buy it. It's a fresh scent, but there's something deeply sexy about it...is it a musk? I'm not sure but this is definitely a unique scent. It's also very light...so anyone near you smells wafts of it...but never gets hit with it. Since I bought this scent, I have to say it's gotten quite a bit of attention. I say try it on a few times before making the purchase.
