Sweet and florally elegant with great exquisiteness and sumptuous character, unlike the current ones which are so lacking in refinement. A fragrance for all weather and times; as voluptuous as they called it. Very similar to Lancôme’s Tresor. It has a very long-lasting and strong trail, staying on clothes even after washing. Its longevity is bestial yet soft, fluid, and consistent, firm and insistent there. Few achieve such a wonderful harmony with all their components, and this is a clear example. A delight made into pleasure, and pleasure beautifully enclosed in a beautiful, simple bottle with simple lines but a spiral shape, crowned with an emerald green cap. This truly became a work of art.
Comparing Tresor with Volupte, there are clearly similar chords, but they take different directions. Volupte is less dense, fruitier, and more relaxed, without losing the class and refinement of Tresor, but calmer. Melon and watermelon blend into a unique note playing with mimosa and heliotrope. Although it doesn’t appear on the list, I sense a prominent violet note; I’d say Tresor leans more towards rose, while Volupte leans more towards violet. On the fruity side, Tresor is somewhat bitter with concentrated fruit, whereas Oscar de la Renta’s is sweeter and watery. The bottle is a beauty, looking like a jewel with an aesthetic very fitting for those years. Another interesting creation by Sophia that I have in my collection.
Wow, Volupte is impressive; I still haven’t found a perfume where heliotrope is the sensation; I can’t believe how that note shines on my skin. It’s pure glamour and femininity, a floral with light fruity touches, lots of incense, sandalwood, and an amber with the ylang-ylang that gives it sparkles of sweetness. It’s a very dense, opulent, complex floral, truly delicious without comparison. It opens with mimosa that gets eaten up by melon and watermelon; in the mid-notes, heliotrope (the most prominent note), ylang-ylang, white flowers, and a hint of peony dominate; finally, rich sandalwood and amber. There are no subtleties; it’s beautifully overwhelming, with a little going a long way to perfume the space. Volupte, you are charming.
I bought it based on the descriptions, comparisons, and notes, but I can’t smell mimosa or ylang-ylang, only some strange flower I don’t recognise (perhaps heliotrope) and I don’t like it. I had high hopes for it; the bottle is beautiful and has good longevity, but it’s not for me.
Its style is one of presence, elegant cut, and social characteristics; timeless but with a leaning towards winter due to the intensity and density of its notes. It feels right as a formal evening scent for parties and events requiring elegance and making an impression. Something similar happens in the office, with the caveat that during the day it gives the impression of being older and more mature, justifying its use more in special meetings and solemn moments. Being too dense for daily wear, it suits someone not young who wishes to maintain elegance. In a romantic context, it feels like a mature seducer, except at a gala evening event where maturity turns into notoriety. An elegant age range between 35 and 60 years, expanding to those nearing 30 for formal evening use.
It has all the characteristics of a perfume I like: excellent fixative and trail, floral, slightly powdery. So, what happened? We just didn’t have good chemistry, despite the opportunities. I like heliotrope, but the mimosa probably overwhelms it by far, so we never clicked; I never perceived the watermelon. You’re very good, but you’re just not made for me.
An excellent fragrance that identifies a sexy woman. I adore this creation by the designer who knew women best: Oscar de la Renta.
I don’t know; I’m used to strong fragrances with style, but Volupte seems awful, or at least it is on my skin.
VOLUPTÉ by Oscar de la Renta is a timeless classic: delicious, elegant, fun, and fresh. Launched in 1992, during that golden decade of perfumery, it was created by Sophia Grojsman and Nicholas Calderone. It opens with mimosa, melon, mandarin, freesia, osmanthus, watermelon, and cyclamen; its heart features carnation, jasmine, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, narcissus, lotus, and peony; and it dries down to sandalwood, amber, patchouli, incense, neroli, and vanilla. It’s simply wonderful! A bomb of flowers, the epitome of how perfumes were made in the good old days. I find notes very similar to Lancôme’s Tresor (its designer created that masterpiece and several flankers). It’s complex, interesting, with an excellent trail lasting around 12 hours on the skin and days on clothes. I love it for spring and summer evenings, an unforgettable aroma, an absolute jewel.
I’ve worn Volupte for years; it was one of those perfumes you simply couldn’t stop using. It’s similar to Tresor but lighter. In the 90s it was all the rage, and for those of us who remember it, it still is. The trail and longevity are enormous, with a truly lovely scent.
Volupté is a fragrance that, when smelled, takes you back to the good times of perfumes, very much unlike today. It is a curious green floral according to its profile, but I note juicy fruits in the purest Sophia Grojsman style from beginning to end. Another perfume added to the great necklace of precious stones of this great perfumer. As they say, younger sister of Tresor for me, without exceptions. But Tresor perhaps has more emphasis on peach and rose, while Volupté is sweetened with melon and mimosa, never taking on acidic juices that would have made me run away in terror. Its fruity tone of the 90s is constant and elegant, overlapping with the caress of hyper-feminine flowers. How to achieve that blessed grace, that ingenuity, and constant virginal sensuality in a current perfume with so many components that fit so well…? I keep thinking that Grojsman is a true witch; I know no perfume of hers that disappoints me. Volupté is so happy and carefree, made for cheerful people like a floral and fruity market in spring in a beautiful European city. I love it. Knowing that I have Tresor, its sister with the same mother and heart, I would never rule out owning it. It is impossible to deny myself buying a 90s perfume with that enthusiasm and happiness, with that sensuality of pure romance of a spring or summer afternoon. It has a very economical price for what it offers. Its sillage and longevity have surely decreased, as with most from this era; one must apply generously, and if not wearing very light clothing (with care), it activates quite a bit, at least that is how it works best for me. I also do not recommend blind buying; if you like Tresor, you will surely like Volupté, but if not, better to try it first. It is a perfume that is no longer produced as it is today and could result in a bit of a shock to some noses, as it is not a compromise and has fruit and flowers in abundance, but if you like it, you have a jewel. I hope it stays with us for many years, although finding it in physical perfumeries is almost impossible, and that already saddens me.
In the perfumery universe, there are proposals that do not deserve the recognition they have. I think it is a pity that this creation has also been forgotten because it is a complex and different perfume that does not follow the current trend. Volupté is a beautiful floral-oriental-green with a woody touch. It makes you feel sensations such as lust, wealth, licentiousness, sensuality, eroticism, pleasure, and inner satisfaction if you surrender to its magic. Perhaps you will feel something like this one day. It possesses confidence and sensuality to exude elegance and eroticism; in a bottle, it is an exuberant sensory experience to dream about. You do not need a Chanel dress; nor is it so classic. In jeans and t-shirts, it is a perfect complement to draw attention, and it does so well: it is very present but never intrusive. It is a harmonious composition that increases in warmth and intensity over time after a fresh and intense opening. A note of peach (or perhaps melon, as I get that impression), a field of flowers mixed with hot vanilla and an amber aura is what envelops me with a pleasant aura. It does not matter your age; do not be afraid to try it on your skin, even if you are a child of the 90s; you might miss out on something that has always been waiting for you. You will have an addictive and unique scent for a fraction of the price of today’s niche and designer perfumes.
I bought it for its reviews and notes, and because, like Giorgio Beverly Hills, they are CULT classics and absolute BEASTS of perfumes 💖. I will use it REDUCED, just like Giorgio and my LUSH Body Sprays (2 to a maximum of 5 sprays upon leaving the shower with a wet or damp body, and immediately moisturising or oiling with a neutral scent). They remain divine because they reduce and you do not faint, nor do you make others faint 😂. A exquisite floral, and its only drawback is that I detect a watermelon note 😣; I expected more melon. But it is MARVELOUS 💖.
I admit it is a fragrance with a strong personality, not one of my favourites due to its pool note, which I dislike in any perfume. It has good longevity and sillage. It is a very good perfume for the modest price at which it sells. It has an air of elegance that, although I do not love the perfume, I must admit. It is one of the fragancies most worn by my mother. My respects to my compatriot Oscar de la Renta.
A fine creation by Sophie Grojsman, an expert at harmonising characterful florals with a romantic yet impetuous edge. A fruity mimosa stands out, reminiscent of melon. A relative wore this in the 90s and it suited her perfectly, matching her character: romantic but strong and cheerful. It was very exclusive in my city and never became mass-market, which was ideal. I suppose it has been reformulated today, but it remains essential for women with a sensitive personality as a daytime scent for study or work. It stands out among current musky trends or overly sweet scents boosted by ethyl maltol. A unique, well-crafted floral. How wonderfully Grojsman worked with floral aromas!
I can only start by saying this is atomic. For an EDT, it has such radioactive longevity that many EDPs would envy it. In my case, it’s a positive, but if it’s your first time, don’t spray it directly on your skin: you’re signing a contract that will last far longer than you’d like if you don’t like it. Volupté is potent in its fruity and floral aspects. Mimosa and melon are the dominant notes, alongside the purple flowers that add the powdery touch. To me, like Jerry Drake, it sometimes smells more like peach than melon. On my skin, it is dense, sweet, persistent, and has a marked vintage character—a complex floral bouquet that leaves no one indifferent. It feels winter-appropriate due to its infinite power, and I wouldn’t wear it in enclosed spaces unless I knew how to dose it (admitting I’m not good at that). It has notable sillage and lasts over 12 hours on skin and days on clothes. My mother used Lancôme’s Tresor during my childhood, so it undoubtedly brings back memories. Scent 7/10 Longevity 10/10 Sillage 10/10 Value for money 9.5/10 Versatility 6/10 Packaging 6/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.
I love it; it’s my signature scent ever since I first smelled it. I even dared to swap my beloved Yes I Am for this. It is so elegant and unlike anything else, perhaps reminiscent of Tresor but stronger. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is buying it blind; I, at least, purchased a decant first.
I made the mistake of buying it blind, smitten with vintage scents like Amarige and Poême, but this fragrance is distinct. I struggle to describe it, yet it features a very sweet scent (perhaps melon with dry vanilla, nothing gourmand like today’s offerings) and that herbal green tone simply didn’t work for me. It’s not a scent I’d want to keep close for long. It wasn’t overly sillage-heavy either. This is just a first impression; I’ll use it to see how it develops and wait for a colder day as some suggest. As a friend here says: test before you buy.
This fragrance is from my era but never caught my attention. I imagined a brash, eccentric, and super-long-lasting scent, like those from the nineties… but I bought it blind because of its many notes. I liked it, but it didn’t fascinate me. The mimosa feels overwhelmingly sweet all the time, and the fruity, powdery aspects linger. It’s a complex aroma, not for everyone, and certainly not for buying blind because you risk disliking it and finding it unbearable. When I wear it, I apply only two sprays because I feel it might become overpowering for me and for those nearby.
I tried it today and loved it; it is a blend of four of my favourite vintage perfumes: Amarige by Givenchy, Trésor by Lancôme, Violettes d’Avril by Yardley, and my beloved Narcisse by Cléo, which is now discontinued. The bottle is pretty, with an emerald green cap that gives it an elegant touch, but one must be careful as it does not fit well on the bottle, perhaps because it is small, and the perfume can fall out. I also did not like that the name Volupté by Óscar de la Renta is not written on it. The price is excellent, and the longevity and trail are very good. I am pleasantly surprised by Óscar de la Renta’s fragrances; they are very economical and of excellent quality.
Volupte is pure elegance. I’ve become obsessed with vintage scents, so after reading countless reviews, I decided to buy it blind without fear: if I didn’t like it, I’d gift it away. What a surprise! Upon spraying, it smells like my beloved Amarige by Givenchy, just softer; I’m sure they share notes in the heart and base. I’d describe it as Tresor and Amarige combined, perhaps a touch powdery like Prada’s Candy, but no: it’s simply that blend, softened. With time, it becomes even softer. At first glance, that’s exactly what you perceive. For me, yellow floral perfumes usually carry a nearly imperceptible fruity note and feel powdery; this one isn’t gourmand or conventional. I see myself in it on an autumn/winter afternoon wearing my best 1940s coat, my 32-year-old stilettos, and red lips. It passes the test; I wore it on the last rainy, chilly July evening when my boyfriend embraced me and said how delicious you smell. That’s enough. If no one else likes it, it doesn’t matter! It commands attention. I can’t see myself wearing it in hot summers, but it’s a fantastic fragrance alongside my Amarige and J’s Fancy; it will be one of my favourites.
Volupté is a perfume that in my first experience seemed scandalous: sweet and strong. As it dries down, less striking notes emerge and become more spiced until it feels very elegant. I am not sure if I like it or not, only until it reveals all its potential over time. Its longevity is good, reaching up to 8 hours, and the trail is noticeable when close. My husband liked it! It is a perfume that cannot be bought blindly.
This is a fantastic perfume! The melon notes and yellow flowers are an olfactory delicacy. I remember back in 1992 my mother used it and I always followed the trail, so elegant, imposing, and of a surprising soft sweetness. Be careful not to be confused because it is potent in trail and longevity. Today, at 42 years old, I acquired it and became just as enamoured as when I was 12, only now I enjoy it on my skin. It is certainly striking, but mature and elegant. I agree with previous opinions: it is not for blind buying.
I have just received this perfume gem. It was a blind buy and I could not be happier. It is a floral-herbal aroma with sweet and powdery notes, highlighting the mimosa above all. But it is not a sugary-candy sweet like current fragrances; it is a beautiful sweetness that does not cloy. A complex scent that evolves significantly as hours pass. Very good trail and longevity, with an exceptional quality/price ratio. If you see it at a good price, do not hesitate; you will not regret it. I believe it is ideal for spring or autumn and can be worn both day and night. As I said: a fantastic perfume.
A very 90s perfume, in the vein of Gres Cabotine (those sweet fragrances smelling of fruit nectar) and the yellowest I have tried. The main notes are mimosa and melon, accompanied by the powdery touch of heliotrope and the creaminess of ylang and osmanthus. All of this reminds me of the taste of white peaches, despite not carrying that note. On my skin, it is not sexy or elegant as some reviews claim, but rather tender, like little girls playing in a meadow putting flowers in their hair. It has good projection without being atomic and lasts at least 5 hours. It is very feminine, soft, and sweet. Suitable for use in spring or summer during the day. It is not my usual type, but I found it to be another very interesting and complex creation by Sofia Grossman that was lost because it was a child of its time. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 8/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 6/10
Volupté EAU de toilette by Óscar de la Renta is a floral and slightly fruity, sweet fragrance that does not cloy with green nuances. It has a moderate trail and lasts 3 to 6 hours, ideal for people aged 25 and above. Perfect for formal occasions or events, and versatile for all seasons.
A beautiful scent I have known since its launch, lasting at least 8 hours on my skin as an EDT. I always keep one saved because it is a gem.
This perfume fell into my hands on Valentine’s Day and I fell in love with it. I received it when the mimosas were in full bloom; since childhood, I have always loved that flower, so delicate and ephemeral. Volupté is that yellow flower that brightens the soul, and although its name suggests otherwise, its aroma does not rush past. It is a floral, sweet, and tropical scent, musky and creamy, featuring white and yellow flowers and juicy fruits. It is elegant and voluptuous, as its name implies, yet restrained, not overwhelming despite being dense. It smells of woman, very feminine; a blend of everything a woman applies: lotions, hand cream, makeup, lipstick, and talcum cosmetics. It smells clean yet also has a slight dirty, carnal touch, like sweat, making it immensely sensual and attractive.
Beautiful, intense, and elegant all at once. I bought it because my olfactory memory holds a cherished recollection of my grandmother wearing it… over time, those florals soften on the skin and accompany you for hours thanks to its excellent longevity.
A truly bold fragrance, classy yet reserved for special occasions rather than daily wear. At 40, I save it for making a dramatic entrance. It lasts over 11 hours, sometimes seeming to fade only to reappear magically. Warning: it is very potent and can cause headaches for sensitive noses; use it in open spaces as the trail is enormous. While the scent doesn’t fully convince me due to its intensity, it is well-made.
Volupté is a vintage gem, a fruity sweet yellow floral, ultra-feminine and elegant. It is opulent and demands a certain dress code. The melon note does not predominate, what luck! It is mimosa, ylang-ylang and neroli with a sweet amber base. The mandarin is the perceptible fruity note. I love the sophistication; it is an eau de toilette with bestial performance, projecting to a metre and lasting eight hours. I paid $28 for 100 ml and I am fascinated. It is coherent with 90s perfumery, like Givenchy’s Amarige, Lancôme’s Poème, or Rodeo Drive 273. Who will like it: lovers of classic yellow florals.
I confess: I have a weakness for well-made yellow florals. With Volupté, it is hard for me to be objective. I like it too much. It smells like Amarige with hints of Johnson’s baby shampoo, like a yellow Tressor. The notes seem like friends at a reunion of former schoolmates, boasting and chatting loudly. It is a good party. The name is not apt, but the design and cap have character. It is versatile, draws attention without being out of place, although it may seem retro. Watch your dosage; the eau de toilette name is misleading, but I like the price. I hope it is reformulated; I would be disappointed if they lowered it. I advise trying it first. It is not for everyone, but I love it.
I waited a long time to get it, and when I smelled it, it was exactly as I imagined, even more so. Beautiful, impactful, potent, with a notable trail and disruptive; it works for any occasion. It has a vintage vibe but is usable today, for spring or an evening in the city. It leaves no one indifferent and is enjoyable alone or in a crowd. It is not for noses seeking soft perfumes, but if you like to be the olfactory centre, you will love it. The price… impossible to find a better quality-to-price ratio!
I had seen reviews but could not explain what I felt when smelling it. I spent a month wearing nothing but this; I never got tired… Oh, what a perfume spectacle.
Oh, I did not understand why I had not described my feelings with this beautiful aroma before! It comes out of my wardrobe on rainy autumn days; I feel wrapped, covered by a bouquet of flowers. I cannot tell which floral stands out, but it recalls Trésor by its creator, Sophia Grojsman. They are family: classic liquids with great trail and longevity. Volupté fits its name: it is voluptuous. It is addictive; I smell it on my hand and it lingers for over ten hours. It is a striking classic, long-lasting, beautiful, and at an excellent price.
I bought it in Argentina at TODOS LOS PERFUMES; probably they sold me a counterfeit given the reviews. It resembles Lancôme’s Tressor, but it only lasts an hour.
I detect the coquettish Persian violet from the start, mixed with mimosa and mandarin. The ylang-ylang is very sweet, and the rest of the notes are perfect to make this fragrance a delight. It is not graceless like perfumes of today; it does honour to its name. It is voluptuous, a soft floral, slightly talcum-powdered and citrusy, with the DNA of Oscar de la Renta clearly present. I have liked it since I was fifteen, so I would wear it from when I was a young girl right up to my grandmother. Beautiful, a bargain gem, it lasts until I bathe.
I used it in the 90s and loved it for its intensity. I bought it again and it is still delicious. It is not modern, but it is intense and fresh, so I finished the bottle without a single complaint. Perfect.
A gem! I have betrayed it before, but I am returning to it. Undoubtedly, I will continue to use it. It is intoxicating: strong yet delicate at the same time. I adore violets, and its price is unbeatable. A gift from life from these perfumers.
Manzanilla and honey, rich and warm, perfect for autumn and winter. It is identical to the now discontinued Poeme by Lancôme, and I am delighted to have found it. It lasts six hours on the skin without reapplication, with a moderate trail that is noticeable but not intrusive.
