Femina

my friend got a 0.25 oz of this for me for christmas. when I first opened it it had a very jarring sterile alcoholic smell and slight flower scent. on the dry down, it smells more powdery and a sort of musky aspect replaced the alcohol smell. absolutely perfect intimate perfume to wear when u want to hug someone special and have them never want to leave the crook of your neck.

I bought it when it was launched, and still love it. Floral and aquatic, it reminds me of simple days, full of youth and sun. Also, the scent recall the fresh smell of spring nature after rain. Definitely a spring- summer fragrance, it persist on the skin and it has a good silage. On the side, the packaging is so nice and fairy tale like.

marigold, musk and gardenia are the strongest notes then watermelon, mimosa, violet leaf then some sandalwood and jasmine; love this one, gets 3-6 hours and radiates arm's length

Omg! This is so so nice- so very unique! The melon together with the floral notes is working magic! Love love love!

A lovely scent to wear in hot humid weather with a hint of powder just don't over spray. I purchased a mini w/o a sprayer. It settles nicely, it's difficult to find a feminine powdery scent which isn't suffocating in Fl heat. I love how linear this scent is. When one wears this out in public, it's not as well known or talked about so you'll stay unique. I comprehend this is vintage, I don't believe it requires any layering. In the heat, I feel as if one needs max 3 sprays, clavicle, back of neck, behind knees. I dabbed my pulse points, used my pulse points to dab back of my ears, and put a few dabs on inner elbows. I could see the spray working for a teen easily for those who purchased the spray. Surprised this scent isn't more talked about. Feminine for sure. Silage depends on how much is applied. I apply lightly due to Fl heat. I would do 6 sprays in extreme cold. This scent is unknown enough IMHO to make it a full bottle worthy purchase.

I just obtained this one as part of a vintage perfumes lot online, and I think it's a beautiful floral! I don't understand the notes saying it's ozonic or marine because I can't honestly smell either of those, just lovely flowers plus something mildly fruity in the background. Not watermelon but maybe honeydew (green) melon...and then just a touch of that. I also didn't think it projected much, but after spritzing just 2 or 3x in my closet my husband noticed from the next room (!). And so maybe I'm just somewhat nose blind. The box it came in is very cool, never seen anything like it....box unfolds like a flower and with each and every side and angle decorated. (I'm into paper crafts and going to try and figure out a way to use the box as a template for a fancy gift box) Anyway I'd never heard of this scent before but it's quite unique and beautiful. Feminine scent in my opinion and very happy to have it

A wonderful grown up scent. Not for young women in my opinion. Remainds me of Van Cleef & Arples Murmure. Deep flowernotes, no sweet notes, just deep, warm, dark and grown up flowers. Very me. Longlasting on my skin. this is a scent that stays close to my skin but yet its intensive, less is more. En härligt vuxen doft. Inget för unga kvinnor att bära i mitt tycke. Påminner om Van Cleef & Arples Murmure. Djupa blomnoter utan de söta inslagen, bara djupa, varma, mörka och vuxna blomnoter. Stannar länge på huden. en doft som är nära men ändå intensiv att bära, lite är lagom.

Just got this from online. Quite pleased with it....darker heavier floral notes, I smell this as a fall/winter scent, that can cut through the cold...in the summer I can see it clinging in the air too long. I could have sworn there were some aldehydes in this one, but doesn't show that here on the Fragrantica site......

Comprato nel 93, mi piaceva perchè era frizzante come un crodino, bevanda analcolica molto frizzante,amara di agrumi e dolce. Poi floreale indipendente e non appartenente a nessuna categoria.

A very good and strong perfume. This one is very difficult to find, but this perfume needs more credits because it is an onknown perfume by most of us.

I found a very old sample of this (not from its release year but undoubtedly close to it). First impression was that I had consumed some slightly damp watermelon-cucumber (presumably the violet leaf) flavored pixy stix powder. Halfway through its wear I detected a strong and unpleasant crayons smell that i cant account for, but it faded after an hour or so leaving the sweet powdery fresh notes from before, albeit less damp.

Femina is great fragrance, in same time intriguing, but simple. Fragrance isn't too strong, composition is very good balanced, more flowery /mix of jasmin and gardenia with marigold is more noticeable/, than fruity. Couldn't detect watermelon or strong citruses. Femina is wearable, for every day use, could be for work or out door. Also is very femimine and "happy". In one way romantic, but not trivial.

The perfume bottle is beautiful. Excited to put this on my "want/want to try" list... But I'm not sure what to think after reading that last review. @mldaleali28 - "old lady's pee"? What does exactly that smell like? I'm curious.. Sounds like luckily you have that information based on this and another of your reviews. Urine odor I can conjure up, but "old lady's pee"? Hmmm..

I just bought it from ebay; Idon't know what is wrong with my perfume (or with my skin) but this one smells awful, exactly like old lady's pee. Absolutely abhorrent, I had to wash it from my hand. I'm so sad, because the reviews were great and I really had high hopes. I think the perfume was fake or it just went bad. Anyway, disappointed.

I had never heard of this - based on the notes here, it was a blind-eBay-buy for me. I have to say, it IS an intense floral, but I love it. I gravitate to the floral fragrances - they are my faves! I find it very lovely and long lasting. I am very pleased with it. :)

Lovely! Vintage suntan oil scent- warm jasmine, gardenia and musk/sandal blend, with a salty sweet and aquatic feel thanks to the melon, vetiver. Perfect romantic summer scent.

This is my favorite perfum for years
