Product Review: Impulse Rock & Love Amber & Orange Blossom

impulse rock love amber orange blossom

Name: Rock & Love Amber & Orange Blossom
Brand: Impulse
Size: 75ml
Price: £1.99

From Superdrug’s website:
Rock & Love is an oriental scent featuring a mix of fresh and fruity fragrance notes, including amber and orange blossom, which combine to produce a bright, sparkling scent, perfect for an on-the-go fragrance boost. The perfect pairing for any rock inspired look, Rock & Love is an effortlessly cool yet chic scent, designed to be the ideal handbag essential to take you from day to night.

What I liked:
– bright ad sparkling scent
– lasts long
– smells more grown-up than most body spray scents out there

What I didn’t like:
– if you don’t like fruity and oriental scents, this is not for you

Impulse body sprays used to be a fave staple in my bag, all those years ago in high school. They weren’t that expensive, came in cute, girly tubes, and always made me smell great.

I can’t remember when I started cheating on them. Over the years, I just found myself straying more and more. We are spoiled for choices these days, and it is so hard to be faithful to just one brand, especially when something new and exciting catches your eye.

But last year, Impulse has reformulated its body sprays, improving both the packaging and the scents. They now come in eye-catching, colourful tubes that are bound to capture your attention, even among the hundreds of options that line the drugstore aisles.

The scents have been ungraded too. They new were ones formulated by Ann Gottlieb, the nose behind some of the most popular fragrances from Dior, Calvin Klein, and Oscar De La Renta. They now also contain real perfume oils, which allow them to hang onto the skin for longer. I spray Rock & Love Amber & Orange Blossom in the morning and, despite walking all day, I still smell fresh and lovely in the evening.

The real perfume oils also makes the fragrances smell more sophisticated and real, as opposed to cheap and synthetic. And the notes go so well together. Amber & Orange Blossom are two favourites of mine and together, they are delightful.

This scent is sparkling and fresh, fruity but with a sexy twist. It’s too grown up for teens, but not too old-fashioned for young women who are looking for something more elegant than your regular and boring body spray fragrance.

But I wouldn’t call it Rock. It’s not edgy, gritty, or leathery. It’s bright, slightly sweet, and very feminine (but without being girly). But I think it’d still be a great scent for a rock chic girl. It complements the dark, hard look by adding a soft, gentler vibe. If that’s your thing, give it a sniff. You may fall in love with it too.

Available at: Superdrug

Summary
Impulse Rock & Love Amber & Orange Blossom is a bright and sparkling, feminine and sexy, fruity and oriental scent that lasts all day.

Rating: 4/5

If only it didn’t have amber in it. Then maybe I’d like it.

But weird that nothing “rocks” about it. I’ll never understand how beauty companies name their products.

Trisha, I’ll never understand that either. So many have nothing to do with the products they are attached to. *shaks head*

The scent sounds very appealing to me. I think we used to have Impulse products here but I haven’t noticed them or seen any ads for the brand in years. I’ll check the drugstore.

Allison, they seemed to have disappeared lately, haven’t they? In Italy they have been relegated to small corner of the drugstore, but here in the UK they still seem to do quite well. This is one is lovely and so different from most body spray scents.
