Femme

Swap the litchi for grapefruit and peach, take out the light spicyness of pepper from Miracle, and you've got Femme. Very similar to VS pink, again, without the spice. If spice/pepper in those 2 scents aren't to your liking, Femme is your alternative. Wearing today, more on longevity later! EDIT: I really like this fragrance. When I want spice, I can use Miracle, when I went subtle I will wear Femme. It has lasted 10 hours, and now it is pretty close to the skin. It smells very much like Beautiful Sheer, their notes are quite similar. If sprayed too liberally, 2 squirts is pushing it, Femme can overwhelm and bring on the headache. All 3 perfumes have that potential. First impression: VS Pink, second time: Lancome Miracle. Now that I've worn it a third time, it settles like Beatutiful Sheer. That's a pretty interesting pattern... it's a great choice if you like any of them!! I can't wait until it's actually warm out, it is now -19 degrees F, this may require another edit! er, pps... ;) If you like Beautiful Sheer, but are traumatized by the headache, or just get sick of the metal twang that develops, Femme is your girl. If you like Roses de Chloe, enjoy its fresh cut roses smell, but wish it lasted longer, layer it with Femme. I think I am so taken by this scent because it just smells like Spring, not overly green, but it has the slight metalic edge that soil warm enough to support growing things has after the thaw, when the night cold no longer freezes the top soil. It has the delicate and creamy scent of magnolia the delicate violet adds to the over all effect of the scent of fragile spring flowers emerging. It is a delightful little scent, and a victory for Avon! Yes, it is similar to other scents, but still is unique, the bottle is a hefty little glass number, the juice a delicate pink. It has great longevity, especially on fabric, and its quality in ingredients is undeniable. Perfume snobs that believe Avon isn't worth their time are really missing out. My grandmother was The Avon Lady, and I always got little trinkets from Avon. I remember my first necklace, which I still have, and my first bottle of perfume [incidentally it was Sweet Honesty]. In my teen years, the chypre Imari was my signature scent. Then between college and living in NYC, I became a bit of a perfume snob myself. Only wearing White Linen and then discovering the hedonist glories of Givenchy. I am coming back to my roots, and discovering that Avon has stepped up their game. Much like Francois Coty, who wanted to create quality perfumes obtainable by the masses, Avon has always provided interesting options or scents similar to more prestigious houses, but in the end, do they not also do that to each other? One scent comes on the market first, gets good results and then suddenly everyone has a fruity-floral sharing similar if note identical notes? Then they do it to themselves with flankers. Anyhow, the point is-- after 125 years of spreading perfume, along with other products, Avon has seemed to really focus on their perfumes again. The new scents that I have purchased may not be innovative, but they are of wonderful quality, and come at an affordable price. Hooray for Avon!! The only reason I don't buy more is that I am too impatient to wait!! Happy perfuming!! ppps: sorry about the rant... I sort of feel that I should keep my mouth shut about Avon, but that would be a disservice to both Avon and my fellow Fragranticans!

Very nice! After my bath and having tried Shakira Rock! earlier im giving this a try. Recently got it and havent worn it yet It reminds me so much of another famous scent...but i just can't put my finger on it!!! So far ive said its a bit similar in some way to Hugo Hoss Femme and Gucci II, both of which ive had in the past. Longevity and sillage in Avon Femme is poor tho...i can see i would be carrying my bottle around with me. but thats why i got the shower gel, lotion and deodorant. The price for the gift set was awesome enough, so i suppose i wont complain. The notes are extremely pleasant, i love magnolia, i have a magnolia tree at home, as well as other trees like frangipani. Therefore i think that the magnolia smells very real and authentic, and is quite noticeable here, together with the lemon Well, I would rather be wearing this in summer time, when body heat will increase the sillage, its winter here now (My favorite scent from Avon is their supposed best seller, Far Away... I think thats better for now for colder months, as it wraps you with cosiness, and its sillage is lovely.)

I confess I was absolutely expecting another fruity mess when I ordered Femme. I am an Avon rep, but I have never found a single Avon perfume prior to this that didn't have me reaching for the returns form within moments of spraying it on. Then, along came Femme. Within 25 mins of me spraying it my husband was seeking me out to ask me what I was wearing because it smelled fabulous. I am slightly odd with perfumes, I either like them really fresh and aquatic (like this one) or delectably creamy and floral like my Micheal for Women by Micheal Kors which I wear constantly and never tire of. Femme reminds me of Isabella Rosselini's Manifesto; just without the longevity Manifesto had. If you're going to buy it, go ahead and get the gift set - between the bodywash, lotion and the perfume you get some decent staying power. As Femme was a pleasant surprise, I am stocking up when the discounts are high so that I don't run out. For the price this is a wonderful everyday fragrance; true it's not going to be world changing, but it's refreshing, easy going and budget friendly.

I'm really positiv suprised, Femme is a nice feminine in the first way soft floral perfume, with magnolia and a touch of pretty spring rose and very wearable jasmine in the base. In the openning I feel sweet juicy peach and than magnolia. The perfume is not to sweet or heavy, I think it's very good balanced, a touch of citrus, but not sharp, makes this fragrance fresh and light, peach gives sweetness and magnolia and jasmine makes Femme feminine and romantic...Fortunatelly for me, I don't like musk too much, and here I have just a little bit of them - like a breath... I like Femme very very much and i finde this perfume very good and longlasting ( 4-5 hours in my skin and in my hair). For this price you have very good perfume! When you like soft fresh floral fragrances a little creamy and romantic you can buy it! I did it and I'm very glad, my husband too ;D

Yes, created by Master Perfumer Harry Fremont(Ralph Lauren Romance & CK One) of Firmenich. His inspiration was an elegant diamond and Hollywood Glamour. I am around these fragrances all day and when I got a bottle of this I knew right away this was far and away the best Avon Fragrance. It definitely competes with any prestige fragrance on the market in terms of all around quality, yet the price is a modest $30 for the EDP. It did remind me of DKNY (reminiscent, NOT a copy). I looked up the notes, lots of similarities. I'd say this is a great, versatile fragrance, perfect for someone who wants to smell modern and pretty. Is it the edgiest fragrance I've smelled, no, but it DOES stand out in a great way. I'm wearing it today in the office, great little fragrance, I'm impressed.
