I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Impulse body sprays. They're just great for a quick freshen up or times when you don't want to be using expensive perfume, or indeed can't afford to splash out on the expensive stuff. I currently have 5 different Impulse scents on the go and Romantic Spark is the one I'm using most often. Impulse sprays retail at around £1.99 but can often be found on offer for £1 so I tend to stock up on them then.

It comes in a small 75ml aerosol can which is a great size for carrying around with you, easily fitting into a handbag. The design is very pretty as you can see from the above photo, with a lovely floral heart design in lovely shades of purple. The top of the can is lockable by simply twisting the top to stop it from spraying in your bag.

The scent is described as a blend of wild violet notes and white wood notes. It's the violet notes that really stand out in this scent and it's absolutely beautiful. I love the smell of violets anyway, but this blend is fresh, subtle and feminine without being too girly. The white wood scents being to come through after a few minutes and just serve to add a bit of depth to the scent, rather than overpowering the violet.

It's a light scent and because it's also very fresh you can get away with spraying a lot of it without it being too strong or giving people a headache. The first time I used this spray I got into a friend's car and she immediately commented that I smelled lovely and was shocked when I said it was just an Impulse body spray. I seem to get compliments on this nearly every time I use it.

Just like most body sprays the scent doesn't last that long so I do need to keep reapplying it throughout the day to keep that lovely freshness, but with something so cheap it really doesn't matter. Although not a particularly strong scent and generally suited more to daytime wear, I find this one can actually hold it's own on a night out too.
