Oriflame Volare EDP Review: Sweet Rose Leather for Spring
Fabrice Pellegrin’s affordable gourmand-floral for modern women

In this review
Oriflame Volare Eau de Parfum, launched in 2014, is a sweet rose-leather gourmand that aims to capture the spirit of flight and freedom. Created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, this feminine scent combines fruity-floral top notes with a praline-leather base, offering a modern twist on classic rose compositions. Priced affordably between $28 and $44 for a 50ml bottle, Volare targets women seeking a versatile, everyday fragrance with moderate performance.
The name 'Volare' — Italian for 'to fly' — hints at the fragrance's uplifting character. The opening is bright and green, thanks to galbanum and violet leaf, before settling into a creamy, powdery heart of gardenia, peony, and rose petals. The base brings warmth with cedar, leather, and a sweet praline accord, creating a soft, intimate trail that lasts 3 to 5 hours.
While not a powerhouse in longevity or projection, Volare has earned a loyal following for its balanced composition and value. On Parfumo, it holds an overall rating of 6.4 out of 10, with users praising its pleasant, non-offensive scent and affordable price point. This review dives into the notes, performance, and ideal occasions for this under-the-radar Oriflame release.
