7.7

LaVolta · 2013

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

LaVolta African Flowers is a floral, fruity women's fragrance led by ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine and orange blossom, sweetened by peach and vanilla. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer has its share. Leisure, business and evening wear get nearly equal votes. Half of the voters read it as feminine. The top has ylang-ylang and citrus fruits. In the heart, rose, peach, orange blossom and jasmine form a full floral bouquet. Vanilla and patchouli in the base sweeten it into a creamy, powdery, lightly oriental warmth. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille has a close profile.

African Romance

6.6

LaVolta · 2014

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

LaVolta African Romance is a powdery, creamy women's fragrance that sets a bright citrus opening against a floral and sweet body. It opens with lemon and bergamot, a sharp and sunny citrus note. In the heart, ylang-ylang and rose bring a soft floral character, and the scent turns noticeably sweeter and more powdery. The base of sandalwood and vanilla builds a creamy, warm footing. Spicy and oriental accents stay in the background, while a faintly synthetic sheen runs through the whole composition. Betty Barclay Chic and Jean-Louis Scherrer Nuits Indiennes share a close profile.
