Voce Viva

Used to be my go to fragrance for like 3 years. I was 14, just watched Legally Blonde. Realized that liking pink is not shameful or overly stereotypical and all that teenage nonsense. If the women's suffrage movement were still a thing where I live, you would've surely seen me in the front lines. Saw Gaga on the ad, saw the pink cap and went "Yeah, that's my shit". Looking back at it, it's nowhere near as liberating as it felt when I was 14. The only more playful thing about this is the sharp ginger I get in the beginning. The dry down is nice, but too much girl next door. Like yeah, sure, white flowers and the my-skin-but-better blend. What else have you got in store, madam? Makes sense I liked it at 14 though. Gives you the grown woman feeling without smelling like a stuffy bottle of Chanel No 5.

This is nice, but so unbelievably generic. Like, spectacularly generic. This is what I think of when I think of perfume in the most general sense. Wow.

I got it as a sample, and good thing I didn't blind bought. This smells really pretty, fun, feminine, and wearable in hot weather. But I agree with the majority of the comments saying it's generic. I also find it similar to Paradoxe in the dry down, which is why I don't feel the need to buy the full size. Still a great pick if you want a year-round signature scent.

I bought this on accident a couple years ago - I thought I was getting the Intensa flanker. The powder note was not my taste (I normally like powders!) and in general this scent didn’t stand out to me - “it’s a perfume.” Fast forward a couple years: I’m crazy about this! The notes are well blended and the vanilla is present without taking over. This scent is great. You can wear it day or night and I think it’s appropriate all year. I really really love this on my pillows because it will last until morning. It layers well - giving a nice warm base with bright top notes - and i think is safe for public spaces and gifting

Crisp, sophisticated, vivacious- this is a bold floral that has some projection. I love it on a spring day when it truly shines. I don't notice any of the heavier base notes like vanilla or tonka, they are just there to add some weight. Here, the bright florals come through. I already finished a travel sized spray, so I will be repurchasing soon.

It’s okay. Generic fruity floral gourmand. A little fresh, a little sweet, a little powdery, a little creamy. Inoffensive, nothing outstanding. Great for work, school, airport, gym.

Upon first spray it gives off a fruity, sweet orange scent that I absolutely love!! However the dry-down is too musky & overwhelming for me, smells like a generic mall perfume & may give an ‘old lady’ vibe. Sad because the scent makes me nauseous after a few hours.

A pretty orange blossom. Mass appealing. Reminds me a lot of Prada Paradoxe. Don’t need both imo.

I love this! To be fair, I can see how some may not find it all that exciting, but that doesn’t stop me from greatly enjoying this fragrance. It does remind me a bit of Lady Million which I absolutely love, so it’s a win for me! It’s a bit less soapy though, and more orange blossom. As it dries, it develops into a more sophisticated and warm fragrance. It does have that bright citrus coming through which makes it perfect for spring and summer! I see someone below mentioned they find it similar to Modern Muse Le Rouge. I also adore that fragrance!! So, this is definitely my kind of fragrance! I love this scent profile so I’m absolutely thrilled to have this in my collection!

Starts bright and citrusy, then turns soft and vanillay. Super feminine, clean, and lowkey gets compliments all day

If you combined all of the magazine perfume sample inserts in the early 2000s, and smelled them all at once, this is what you get. Basic DNA -citrus, white floral, vanilla, musk. Fine for the non-adventurous girl just looking for a sweet feminine scent.

boringgg and idk if it's just me but it was a fruity type of sweet for me the whole time

I do not like any of the Valentino scents, but this one has me in a chokehold. It's very beautiful and reminds me of a fresher, lighter Modern Muse Le Rouge from EL which was sadly discontinued. I loved that fragrance, but am happy I found something close to it. The florals are not overwhelming and the citrus gives it such a nice, clean feminine vibe.

Very sweet, too sweet. I do love florals and sweet along with other fragrant families, however, it’s common and nothing different. No hype from me.

I'd describe this scent as a very sweet, vaguely sexual pastry. It's a very feminine scent but not a mature or a daring one, definitely a go-to pick for women that were slightly overindulged as kids, and very overprotected

This does not smell like paradoxe to me. The first five minutes of wear isn’t bad but becomes increasingly powdery & turns into a musky artificial mess on my skin. Very similar to how Le Labo’s Another 13 turned sour on my skin. I had to scrub off immediately. If that dna works for you, this one might also agree with your chemistry. Thus continues my love hate relationship with Valentino

I have picked this fragrance up and sniffed it so many times when walking past it, yet never purchased. Well, it was 50% off and I finally bought a bottle! Looking at the notes, I definitely get the citrus in the opening, as well as a slight bit of ginger. It is fresh, floral and sweet; the gardenia really stands out to me. I also get some sort of honeysuckle or lilac, like a sweet and powdery floral. The vanilla in the dry down is so dreamy! I am really liking this perfume, can't wait to wear it in the spring time.

at one point i was working on planes and maybe due to the high altitudes my nose might've changed/ gotten desensitised to detecting subtleties because i remember this smelling very delicate and pretty at the time. i went through 3 bottles. however, after leaving that demonic job, i smelled this for the first time in a while the other day and it smelled wayyyy too sweet and citrussy. kind of annoyingly upbeat lol. i suppose now i just prefer creamier fragrances and so while this has it's place in my collection (maybe for a picnic on a summer's day), it's not really a staple i'd wear on the regular great projection though and others seem to love it as it got complimented a lot

I remember loving both of Lady Gaga's perfumes so I was excited to try this. Unfortunately it was a disappointment: it smells way too sweet and lacks any originality. Is it bad? No, it's not. It's pleasant, initially a bit strong but after a while sits closely to the skin and turns into a quite nice orange/musk/vanilla base. But especially if advertised with Lady Gaga, I expected a bit more depth and originality. Like naomism below said, smells like everything in the mall around 2007...

I initially blind bought this because I loved the scent of Valentino's foundation and wanted the perfume to match.. Revisiting my bottle, it goes on almost spicy? The ginger really comes through, along with the florals and musk.. Its strange because I remember the citrus, vanilla, and tonka combination being lovely before! All my bottles get minimal indirect sunlight, so I'm not sure what happened over time >< Its unfortunately become a pass ;;

Smells like everything in the mall circa 2007 and I love that about it.

I layer this one with a palo santo oil and it’s sooooo pretty together. spicy and citrusy and lasts a long time. this is a go to combo atm for me

Inoffensive, white floral which smells classy. Perfect for the office, just nothing special

Sweet, fresh floral. The fruity note dissipates quickly. Almost has a fluffy/marshmallow note to me from the sweetness even though marshmallow isn’t listed. It wears nicely on my skin though - about 6 hours with just lotion underneath. Projection lasted about half of that within arms length. I don’t think it’s overly unique really, but I picked this up in a travel spray for less than $4 at Ulta so for that price I can’t complain at all! lol.

Nah, it was a disappointment for me. The opening felt overly synthetic and lacked depth. It fades quickly, leaving almost no lasting impression. For the price point, I expected something far more unique and memorable. Never getting this again!!

Generic and sickly sweet

A versatile perfume that can be worn day or night all year around. It smells fresh, clean, with a touch of warmth in the dry down. With Voce Viva you smell feminine and rich ! Longevity is about 5-6 hours and it gives me a very good projection for as long as it last when I wear it. I must admit that I have smelled the intense version and I prefer the intense over this one.

At first spray you get the alcohol hit. But it dissipates to a fresh citrus with floral notes. On dry down the floral notes hang around for a good while and it leaves a very powdery scent . It's not a unique fragrance, very similar to lots of other designer scents. Most reminiscent of Jimmy Choo- I want Choo (in my opinion). I won't repurchased purely for lack of individuality

Opening is very fresh & zesty. Nice, clean white florals emerge. There’s a subtle sweetness from the beginning. It’s a very mass appealing scent. Great for any occasion, including work. In relation to Paradoxe, Voce Viva is more airy & the citrus is not as strong. Paradoxe is more fruity & more powerful overall. VV is a fresh & clean floral that dries down to a more earthy vanilla. It’s a nice safe perfume that is not heavy. If you enjoy this, I think you may also enjoy Versace Eros EDP. Eros is another sweet citrus white floral but with more of a woody base. Similar to VV, but turned up a couple notches.

Citrus and vanilla, like lemon merengue pie or orange dreamsicle. Delicious and reminds me of summer. There’s an amber note that’s bitingly strong at the start but calms quickly.
