Head Over Heels Revlon for women

I purchased the 100ml 3.4oz bottle from fragrancex because of the great reviews, but I don't like it.


If you want this perfume, I will gladly SWAP. Just message me.

About ten years ago I tried this and it smelled incredibly sweet and nice on me, I finally have it and it does not work for me anymore, SPICY is all I get. Spicy all the way and nothing else. So sad.

I doubt I got a fake or old bottle from Strawberrynet.Scent is just disgusting and cheap.

I love it! Have worn it since the 90's. I am asked on a regular basis what I'm wearing. I have always gotten compliments on this fragrance. There are many fragrances that I cannot wear, because of my body chemistry. Head Over Heels is a great one for me! Although, I have noticed a slight change in the fragrance over the years. It was originally made by Ultima II, but now seems to be a Revlon product. Now when you first spray it on, there is a woody, musky smell, but that disappears in a matter of minutes. It doesn't have the staying power it once use to have either. I suspect more alcohol in the formula. I always layer it with the lotion and it seems to alter the smell somewhat, and I think makes it more pleasing.

Let's be honest. This one's a stinker from the early 80's. It's fun, retro bottle reminds me of the Stray Cat Strut or Sexy and 17 songs made popular in 1983 by American Rockabilly group, The Stray Cats.

IMHO, the spicey floral combination is not blended well, which makes it the fragrance equivalent of a bad perm, an ill-fitting jacket with large shoulderpads, a short, tight mini, red pleather pointy shoes, and bright geometric design shirt with matching earrings, bracelets, and necklace. You might be able to made one or another element work alone, or with something else in the closet, but this assemblage just doesn't go well together.

To me, this one is fun to try when you are 17, but it just doesn't work now. And really tried to like this one for the bottle alone. It wins most original bottle but that is about it.

If anyone has had success laying it with something else for a better effect I would love to read about it. It could possibly work well layered with something else, but I haven't been willing to sully my wrists to try that yet.

fruity

I think this smells a little bit like sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. The bottle is so gorgeous..

After I sprayed this perfume ,my mom said please take it to the bin.

It's strong smell,no tender not warm scent but it's very very hot and spicy like I sprayed a pepper on my skin.

i absolutely love this perfume. it is fruity and spicy all at once, with a bit of floral thrown in. it dries down to a yummy warm spicy scent with the fruits just as undernotes. the plum in this is outstanding tho. in a good way. it is heavenly. i don't want to push out my other top 5, but if there were room it would be on my top shelf. i love it and i love the bottle.

i've just got my perfume. its an old style perfume. in the picture the notes show only fruits but i think it has some spices also. i cant say i like it or dislike..i think im in between..to be honest i had ordered this perfume for the bottle..i cant recommended it..a cheap perfume for a low price..
I think i hate this perfume!! will never use on my clothes or body! just use for sheets or toilet!!!

Shockingly bad. I'm wondering if I got a dud bottle (mind you only bought it for £4 for the bottle anyway), or if this perfume is a joke. Cheapest possible aftershave with overtones of melon. For most cheap perfumes, there's a good reason why they're cheap.

Action, ive noticed this too on many reviews. I have also noticed how different perfumes smell on me at certain times of the month too.

Ladies body chemistry much change considerably day by day due to our hormones. Ive noticed the sweeter perfumes smell rank on me when its that time of month yet the heavier ones begin to smell sweeter than they usually do.

Us women, we are very complex creatures...just like a great perfume, wine or cheese.

Hi Geegee, really funny to see how people smell differently! I get a lot of melon, melon all over the place and a lot of plum as well. I like Head over heels very much, it is strong and has very good sillage!
Good luck!

I too bought this for the totally kitsch bottle, its so tacky & tasteless that its adorable & one to have a great laugh over.

The fragrance however has a lot to be desired, i detect none of they said notes but smell a LOT of honey.

Its strong & sweet & one you really wouldnt wear for anything special, certainly not for a dinner or where close contact is on the cards with other people. I dont think anyone would appreciate sitting next to you whilst eating dinner & choking on your fragrance.

Thankfully the strong sweet smell doesnt last too long & it dries down in to something a little softer & more palatable.

i had this perfume ,cant say that i loved it but i just liked it.nothing special yea bottle was nice but still i wouldnt want to buy it again .

I've bought this on sale because of the pretty bottle. A nice collector's item. As vioversilver said the scent itself is nothing special. A mix of banana, melon and some spices or nuts. Will be good for a teenage girl.

Yep , I got this for the bottle also, it really is a hoot , the perfume itself is nothing special, if it really is the fruity concoction that the above notes list, I don't get them either , maybe some coconut or banana,some kind of spice,or resin would of helped flesh this out...

All said and done, its all about the awesomely unapologetically, kitchy bottle and name , it just does'nt get better than this!

mmmmmm smell like sunflower !

I need a new bottle. I really like Head over Heels. I still wear mine when the mood strikes me.

This was originally a scent by Ultima when Ultima Cosmetics had counters in department stores that is....

I remember that I loved this scent when I was younger.My friend had it & everytime I would go to her house I would douse myself LOL.

Anyway I had almost forgotten what it smelled like when I was in the supermarket & smelled something great.I started sniffing around & realized that it was a women in her 40's shopping next to me with her child.

I kept debating with myself about going over to ask her what it was....when I realized that I already knew.It was head over Heels.I still like it just as much as I use to.

I would also say that it is a Floral Fruity Mix.I do not get the aquatic from it.
