Diesel Green Feminine

This was a blind online buy, but as I picked it up for $14, I thought 'what I have I got to lose?'. When I first sprayed it I thought "Oh my God, this is horrendeous". Then I waited a while & sprayed it again. It started to remind me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly WHAT that something was. All of a sudden I started to think of ginger ale/beer and lime and/or Sprite. It was only upon visiting Fragrantica and seeing that the two top notes were indeed ginger & lime that I started to fall in love with this fragrance. I can see how this would definitely not be a fragrance for everyone. Hell, it's not even a fragrance I would have purchased had it not been a blind buy (I prefer patchouli, woody & gourmand type fragrances as a rule) but now that I *have* purchased it, I would repurchase it in a heartbeat. Totally different than anything else I've ever owned - I love it! (I do however agree with others' comments about the bottle.. it is rather ugly, however, that part I can live with.. what annoys me is the spray mechanism just seems faulty and is a general PITA to use - and that's been the case with all 3 bottles I've now used!) EDITED: I now own 4 bottles of this perfume - the last 3 of which I purchased for less than $10 each! The more time passes, the more I love this fragrance.

I think this is a really hidden gem, it's a shame it's discontinued. I have a fondness for bottles that resemble things other than perfume bottles, so was automatically attracted to this one. The bottle also actually looks a lot nicer in real life than in pictures. I mainly pick up on the lime, ginger and cinnamon in this, all of which I adore in general but the way they work together here is really nice. I also love the amber, musk and vanilla in the base, most of my favourite scents seem to have a mixture of these in the base, so that's unsurprising. To my nose, the rest of this is just a really nice smelling mixture, it's very syrupy. It's quite sweet but has a spicy undertone. The longevity is decent for an edt. I often experience fragrance disappearing really quickly on me, but this isn't too bad. I found there's the perfect level of sillage with this one as I'm usually able to smell this on myself which I really appreciate but I didn't feel like it was anything overpowering where it might bother people around you.

This is such a unique scent. It's lime and ginger with a heavy dose of cloves and cinnamon. I'd say this would appeal more to those that like spices, rather than those that like citruses - as it's not a typical citrus freshie. In fact, if this were in a darker bottle and named 'Diesel - Spice', no one would blink an eye. The scent is quite strong to begin with, but does develop over time when the cloves come in. The cloves do tend to dominate, as they have such a loud, aniseed note that shouts above all the other notes. I would call this unisex, there's nothing about it that screams feminine to me. I tried the masculine scent out of curiosity but hated it - it was very basic and didn't have the complexity of the feminine version. Overall, if you can get your hands on this I'd say it's worth sampling. It's discontinued now so its value has shot up on ebay and other markets.

My daughter gave this to me as she bought it blind based on online reviews but it turned out to be too spicy for her. I tucked it into my drawer without smelling it - that bottle is hideous & just awkward to use. It wasn't until we were purging a few items that I finally tried it....& I LOVE it! It's gloriously spicy & smells almost like cloves & lemonade to start. But on the dry down, it develops beautiful rose & sandalwood notes. This won't be for everyone but if you like gutsy 80s-esque spices, this might be one to try. A little goes a long way, though...which is fine because that stupid bottle makes it difficult to get anything out.

What a nice surprise, this perfume! Smells like a medicine only at the beginning. When you give it time to settle, it will develope, most beautifully in my case. It was like opening boxes with presents, hidden in one another, every single one more beautiful than the previous one. This fragrance is rich and intriguing, like forest after the hot, summer rain. I could smell both fresh leaves- and wet black dirt :) I got almost all the stages, from ginger&lime, through cinammon, down to delicate amber that stays close to your skin for hours. To me it's like Lalique's Perles, but summer, sunny edition :)

I bought this many years ago, very cheap and fell in love with it immediately. It reminds me of Tibetan Incense. It's wonderfully unusual and on me is more woody ( a little like oudh) than citrus, in fact I don't get any citrus. There is to my nose a touch of coriander - that sweaty kind of smell, but not unpleasant. I still have this perfume and despite it's age it still smells good. I like the design of the bottle but it's a pain to use! If I ever see another bottle I will buy it. I like to wear this in autumn because of it's damp woody smell. I love it.

My favourite in the summer, this is an approximation of cola. I think about what the ingredients might be in coca cola and there’s sweetness, spices, a touch of lime, it’s all there and it’s perfect (but don’t blind buy it because I want to get some backups and it’s discontinued so leave them all for me, thanks xx)

Love it. Quite sweet but fresh at the same time. Great fragrance for the day. also quite lasting, gets milder but still noticeable throughout the day. I don't understand why people complain about the bottle design - it's very Diesel and if you don't like it - why to buy it in the first place?

Ahh, how I wish I could get my hands on a bottle of this. It was my favourite perfume in my teens. My nose can’t forget that spicy green super warm and full of summer memories vibes. It was amazing!

I had to double check our two bottles to see if my dad was indeed wearing the 'feminine' version, and he is! And he smells divine when he dares to wear this; obviously he doesn't care that this version is marketed to women and I have to say that in light of this, it is definitely unisex. Women, spray this on your man and swoon! The name of this fragrance lies, however! It brings up images of fresh sawdust and wood curls (perhaps why it smells terrific on my dad) and cloves. Anyone who's smoked clove-vanilla cigarettes before, will instantly recognize this note. It's being pushed forward by the cinnamon, which seems to be rather shy in this one. Pity, because I love cinnamon. Compared to the other notes, the lime fades into the background, and fast! There is still the faintest hint of climbing roses on a trellis. That having been said, it feels like an autumn instead of spring. It won't be for everyone, but excellent for us women who still like to stomp around in our trusted and worn out combat or hiking boots. In short, for the woman who isn't afraid to embrace her masculine side.

Reminds me very much of HM's Magical Moon without the powdery sweetness. Must love ginger and cedar - both are quite prominent. Fresh & green on top with an underlying nutty note that confirms its rightful place in the floral woody musk category. I see how some say this is unisex but I think that's more to do with the masculine image created by the bottle (think oil can from the garage). I agree that the bottle is awkward. It doesn't so much spray as squirt. I love Diesel's Fuel for Life Femme and can clearly identify Diesel Green as her somewhat shy younger sister. Overall, I prefer Fuel for Life more than Green but Fuel for Life is too unusual, too bold for the office while Green seems light enough for office wear. Green is definitely full bottle worthy.

I like Diesel fragrances and I like their design. I've wanted this for a very long time and I finally got myself a brand new sealed bottle. Diesel is tricking every single one of us with the green bottle and the name suggesting freshness of the grass when the fragrance itself couldn't be more far from it. This is a spicy oriental fragrance with a touch of lime in the beginning. After 10 minutes the scent settles to: cinnamon cloves ginger carnation sandalwood I have a theory that majority of the negative reviews for this little gem come from people who like fresh scents and feel tricked after buying it blind. I'm not surprised at all, so I recommend it to people who would like to smell like a spicy cinnamony chai :)

Picked this up at the lake george outlets perfume emporium, passing through. Smells a bit like Le Male Gautier, uniquely similar. Best way i can describe it, better than masculine version, from sample. Good enough to purchase for 60$. **9 months later, this stuff has grown on me. It's really incredible, potent stuff. Stronger and longer lasting than Gautier. It can make me a little nauseus, but it adds well to other colognes, with a sweeter, nectar-like odor that lingers. I think it's discontinued - what a shame, excellent cologne.

My boyfriend just said "you smell nice!... finally" - for me this is enough to like this perfume forever :D. Being honest: very pleasant mix of spicies with strong lime freshness at the long beginning. Carnation and amber make it a little bit creamy, but still sportive. Suitable as well for summer (because of lime) and for winter, cause it remainds me a hot, spicy tea... Unfortunately, the bottle is ridiculous. Neither pretty nor practical.

Offered one to my mother many years ago. She likes citrus-like scents and enjoyed that one. Actually even I liked it even though I dislike Diesel fragrances in general! Would have bought the male equivalent for myself if I had found it.

I've been wearing Diesel Green Feminine for years! It's a really unique scent - spicy and warm, but with a fresh citrus kick at the beginning. It lasts all day and gets me compliments all the time. Definitely my go-to perfume!

This baby is so much more than anti-bug spray. It is very spicy in the beginning and very pleasant flowery scent when it settles down a little bit. Reminds me of CK Secret Obsession.

I really eanjoy this. A very simple fragarnce: lime soda first, sandalwood and then vanilla sweetness. Easy to wear, too. It is discontinued, so now with unbelievably cheap price.

I had it 5 years ago so I don't remember exactly how it smelled but I do remember it was very fresh and green with lots of sandalwood.

Interesting combination of fresh and spicy notes. Quite strong scent, but great for hot summer days. Lasts long!

The lime is the star here. So sad this was discontinued as it’s unusual and fun to spray.

weirrrrrddd. felt like I was putting weed killer on myself but i LOVE the smell!

modern, spicy, green, recognizable & crazy.

This is just weird. Opening is a lime/ginger cocktail for a brief few minutes and i was thinking, Oh, I might kinda like this then BAM! it just smells like cloves. The cloves overpower everything else...as cloves tend to do. It feels very disjointed and strange. There is a decent sized list of other notes but all I can smell is cloves. There is no balance at all. It's too bad because this could have been a very nice and interesting fragrance if the balance of the mid had been better. Hours (about 6) into the wear I finally smelled what this fragrance could have been. It was a beautiful and interesting spiced vanilla, but waiting 6 hours to get there is just not tolerable. The performance is impressive. Too bad at least have of that time I just smelled like I rolled around in cloves. it last 10+ hours on the skin with moderate to strong projection for at least a few hours. One time I wore it late in the evening and could easily smell it around myself until I showered around noon the next day. This was the only time I really enjoyed wearing this fragrance. By the time I woke up that morning the fragrance had morphed into the lovely spiced vanilla. It is marketed as a women's fragrance, but I found it very unisex. The spiciness of the fragrance makes it feel like a cold weather fragrance to me. But with only a little sweetness and the florals being quite light, this could work in warmer weather if worn lightly, especial with the summer cocktail like opening. Diesel isn't known for subtle and classy bottles, but this one is next level even for them. It might get the distinction for worst bottle ever. Not just because it looks like a bottle of weed-killer. It's ugly, but it is also very cheap and poorly made. The top/atomizer looks like terribly cheap plastic, they type you see on poor quality toys or disposible plastic products. The atomizer works OK, but it is more of a douser than a sprayer and is a heavy stream instead of a wider arching spray. There is nothing about the packaging that hints what the fragrance may smell like. I kinda expected poison looking at the bottle.

I loved the concept of the bottle and the super low price. It was a blind buy. If i were into green fresh scents i would have liked it. Unfortunately i am into sweet overdose perfumes like Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss. But if u are looking for a young fresh and almost androgynous scent...well this is the perfume for u. U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

One of a few fragrance that I dislike the most... The bottle looks cool, at the time it was on a discount so I grab one without even testing it (it was a long time ago). Oh my god it's disgusting! I do smell the floral and a bit of fruit but it was so synthetic I can't stand it! Felt dizzy after I spray it, what a disappointment...

horrible, absolutely horrible! smells just like the a ugly bottle looks! Received it as a gift but i tossed it in the trash! smells like bug spray and that stuff they spray on trees so they won't get fungi and stuff combined with rotten limes. whoever said it was ok for this "thing" to be bottled, is out of their minds!

Sharp, green, headache inducing, and nauseating. This one doesn't just LOOK like bug spray, it smells like it as well. Smells like nausea, headaches, and regrets. Love the bottle, would never repurchase, the juice is just awful.

bottle is ok but the smell... If all the parfumes on earth suddenly disappears, evoporates destructed.. all the perfume producers immigrate to another planet and only this perfume is left, I absolutely wouldn't use it.

This perfume just... Ugh. It smells like cleaning supplies and I hate the bottle too. Everything about it is horrible, maybe this perfume just isn't for me though.

It smells like machine oil i think:( I didn't expected from diesel a fragrance like this...I'm disappointed...

my god, i can't believe there are people spend their money to buy such a ugly bottle like this one.

oh my my oh my so disgusting gave me a headache i had to scrub it off so disguting unbelieveble

Looks like bug repellent and smells like it too.

I'd had to grab a bottle of this one (when I saw it at a non-crazy price) because of the notes and diverse reviews. I don't get as much citrus as others apparently do and I definitely don't get "synthetic." Instead, the florals are quite obvious at first (full and powdery), but then the other two facets are discernible. Those are a grassy/citric element and the one another reviewer described as a clove cigarette. I can't remember a scent that combined these elements this way, and I could imagine this would confuse many casual scent wearers. The facets sometimes seem to blend together but at other times are distinct. It's just a little sweet and it's not animalic. I imagine this one will be in my large rotation for a long time to come! UPDATE: Over time a musky carnation quality becomes rather noticeable, for those who really dislike carnation. UPDATE #2: Try layering this one with a sandalwood-dominant scent - it becomes very similar to unisex niche scents !

Even though this has terrible reviews, I think it's pretty unique Very 'Limey', and weird.... I remember back (all the way back :P) in 2006, when I had little clue about any scent apart from Angel, this horrible girl sprayed it all over me in a bar, and she said it was 'diesel' and i saw the bottle and got really freaked out as by the smell of it, and the bottle, thought she'd sprayed some intoxicating petrol or pesticide on me or something (she was a freak) anyway, I bought some eventually because it is a really unusual smell, quite fresh and strong. Hard to wash off! Girls seem to like it more than the fellas!

Strange and unique. Just what I like. Slightly unisex but the carnation makes it feel feminine. Does anyone else think of a Moscow mule? Ginger ale, vodka and lime juice? Maybe made with a vodka infused with spices. Served to you by someone wearing a red hot carnation boutonniere:) Also, does anyone know the nose(s) behind this? For all who dismiss it I think you'd be surprised at what notes this frag kicks off your skin during its stay. Some folks only smell the spice. Others just seem to get the floral or lime gingerness. As the wearer I experience them all interchangeably.

I did finally get to try this, but only on a whim. It was a quick sniff on a paper strip and it was very interesting. It had a "green" smell to it, fresh, but at the same time it was kind of spicy and woodsy. I didn't detect any florals at the time. If anything, I got the most out of lime and ginger. It wasn't a bad fragrance! I did like it. But I don't think I will be buying it. However, I'd love to try it again to get better acquainted with it. It could be a great summer scent.

I must admit I have never smelled this, but I'm curious to know if it's as bad as the reviews say. I'm judging it solely on the bottle which is ugly, I don't want my perfume to look like insecticide spray. I want my bottles either sleek & stylish or decorative works of art when they are adorning my dressing table or bathroom! I think that the bottle design suits the deisel brand but it shouldn't suit a perfume, plus I can't stand fiddly bottles that don't spray nicely!

I bought this one several years ago, so my memory has faded a bit, but I swear I can almost still smell this when I think of it. It was VERY strong, very medicinal, very lime-y, very very spicy but in a strangely chemical, inauthentic way. Ultimately it's overpowering and a bit nausea inducing after a short while. I'd skip it, even though an odd part of me liked it. It's just a very ODD scent.

I got it a couple of months ago. First I was not sure if I like it or no. I used it from time to time, at home for my own experience. And today I realized I love it a lot. Great blend of spices, sweet and refreshing at the same time. It is Christmas time now and I feel like if I had cut the tree in the woods and drinking my spiced rum...but in the feminine way... If that makes a sense. :)

ouff! this one is really not for me :) i found to smell more like mens fragrance so much on me that i gave it to my boyfriend & i loooove it! so muvh that i almost thought trying it again but as soon as i take a **sniff!!!** of it ... NOT!!! really i think this should be mens fragrance or unisex because i'm sure women with darker complexion smell reaeeeally good with this :) xoxo

Very different indeed, but not so "green" as the name suggests. I like the fact that it smells like an exotic Moroccan market, but I wish it had more freshness to it - kind of like L'Eau par Kenzo manages to create a perfect scent of fresh water and tie it perfectly together with the exotic spices.

Opens with lime lollipop like something out of a lowrent preschool party, with an eventual spicy sandalwood that is quite nice but clashes badly with the silly sicky persistent topnote. Possibly would give you a toothache if you wore it more than once in a lifetime.

english.hannah@ Hi, I finally got an appreciation from someone who says that Diesel Green Feminine is a beautiful fragrance. She's underrated, I've had her several times and I won't let her down, I wouldn't say a bad word about her. In a word - beauty.

I haven't smell it..but I love the bottle.. so much!I' am avid bottle collector and I so wish to add this to my collection!!Usually I'm very fond of lime scents....very curious about this fragrance...next on my try list!:D

I had this when I was 13, and I still remember exactly how it smells. Very strong character, eccentric and unconventional, much like the entire Diesel brand. Recognizable. The bottle is something completely unusual.

Ok I just tried this one again today and its very spicy, the clove just jumps out at me. I think I appreciate this scent more after a year of sitting on the shelf. Aeternitas- have you had a chance to try it yet?

This was citrus-heavy in the best way possible. It was such a refreshing lime-forward scent—it honestly reminded me of a spicy margarita. I’m so disappointed they discontinued it.

It smells so nice it reminds me of Christmas It's got a lovely spice and pine smell to it a bit masculine. It as a smell of its own. I love to wear this in winter.
