Spray me, I’m Impulsive....
This is a review on
canned body sprays I have tried and some I still have because I love them. I
was initially going to just review the Impulse ones, but I decided to include
the Wilko’s ones too as a less expensive option, plus I love one of them.
Impulse
Impulse is a perfume deodorant/body
spray brand, which is part of the Unilever brand of products. It was first
launched in 1972 in South Africa, but only launched in the UK in 1981. They
have a wide range of scents compatible for all females of all ages.
I have also tried Very Pink, but I used it up a while ago and didn’t want to re-purchase it just
for this review, but it was a very nice scent, but not one I would re-purchase.
I have also tested a Hint of Musk, when I was younger and I didn’t like it! I have
also got two other one’s to try, which I will do a separate review on and they
are Loving Words and Love Puzzle.
True Love
I first knew of this scent when I
received it in a gift set for Christmas a few years ago and from then on I have
loved it.
The current can design is a light pink
colour with a few small hearts making a big heart.
The scent notes are:-
Freesias, Muguet & Amber Notes
It smells really clean, fresh and girly
and I can really smell the freesia. It also smells quite fruity to me. The
scent lasts quite a while, because it is very strong but not overpowering, but
sadly it does not last all day. It is currently my second favourite Impulse
scent.
I will always re-purchase this one,
until it is discontinued. I have bought it several times and I have three
back-ups at the moment because I buy quite a few when they are on offer.

Goddess
I first found this scent whilst I was
shopping and I just happened to see that Impulse was on offer and I already had
back-ups of True Love, so I decided to try something different, so I chose this
one. I first smelled it when I got home, and I fell in LOVE!
The can design is similar to True Love,
but it is a warm yellow gold colour and the big heart is made up of smaller
hearts and jewels.
The scent notes are:-
Citrus, Jasmine, Gardenia & Pear
It smells really fruity and you get the
hint of the floral notes and I think I can smell the pear. From my experience
Impulse body sprays last the same amount of time, this one is no exception.
This is not as strong as true love, but it is more sophisticated and it is my
favourite Impulse scent ever, so it is just my luck that it has been
discontinued! L
I would love to keep re-purchasing
this, but unfortunately it has been discontinued! If you are lucky enough you
may come across it in discount stores or some supermarkets, but eventually
there will be no more stock left! L

Into Glamour
I first smelled this when I received a
gift set a few years ago. I was initially disappointed because I wanted it to
be a True Love set, but after smelling it I was truly grateful.
The can is all one colour and it is a
very nice royal kind of dark blue. The large heart is made up of small
diamonds. I also think it’s the nicest can Impulse has other than the newer
ones, such as, Very Pink, Love Puzzle and Loving Words.
The scent notes are:-
Citrus, Floral, Woody, Pepper, Amber & White
Honey
It smells quite citrusy and floral and
I think I can smell the amber and white honey. To me it is a kind of night
scent and it’s not sweet and to me it’s quite masculine scent, but it still
smells girly. It’s not a typical Impulse scent! This lasts the same as the
other two and it is my third favourite Impulse scent.
I would re-purchase it if I fancied a
change, but that might not be for a while.

Wilko
Wilko is a name given to own branded
products from the UK superstore Wilkinson’s. Wilkinson’s have a wide range of
home products, and their own body sprays, which are inexpensive, but I actually
quite like them. They are a less expensive alternative to Impulse.
Dreamy
I came across this scent when I was
younger and my Mum would buy a mixture of body sprays and put them in a box and
me and Sister would go and get one out when we needed a new one, so I ended up
choosing this one time and I have liked it ever since.
The can is all one hot pink/fuchsia
colour and it has a funky silver pattern near the end of it.
The scent notes are:-
Orange, Jasmine, Lily, Neroli & Coconut
To me it smells really fresh, feminine
and fruity, but I can also smell some floral hints. It is quite a strong scent
and it lasts quite a while, but again not all day. This is currently my
favourite Wilko body spray.
I will be definitely re-purchasing this
again soon, like I have done for a few years now!
WILKO BODY SPRAY IN DREAMY

Passion
The story of this scent is the same as
above, apart from I am not so keen on it anymore.
The can is a silver colour with pink
circular patterns at end. It also has a light dusty pink lid.
I cannot find the scent notes for this
body spray but Wilko describe it as being delicate, fresh, feminine, fruity,
florally and breezy.
Although I cannot find the scent notes,
I know for definite that it has hints of musk because that’s the more prominent
note, which makes it easily detectable if you know what musk smells like. I can
also smell the slight hints of fruitiness and it also smells clean and fresh
and it does come across as slightly delicate. It lasts about the same amount of
time as Dreamy, but maybe less because it is not as strong scented.
I don’t think I will be re-purchasing
this scent again because I prefer Dreamy, but I still really like this one!

The easiest way to
decide if you want to purchase these body sprays is to go to the shop and smell
them for yourselves because it is all about personal preference!
I hope you didn’t get
too bored reading these reviews, and more will be coming soon!
Thanks J
