D&G Feminine

EDIT 2: I got the Vicolo Fiori by Etro because apparently that was also supposed to be a close one to Feminine - it is not. It has a bright and cool open note but the dry down smells like Zest soap. The Kenzo Flower Mimosa also is not it - it has that powdery vibe but the dry down is vanilla. Also, checked out Jubilee Scents as mentioned in the comments but they don't ship to Canada. I sent them an email to see if they plan to in the future. At this point I just might try and satisfy the urge to see what Ebay has to offer - but ideally less than $200. ----- EDIT: I bought both the EDT & EDP of Kenzo Flower - EDP is the closest to Feminine but is still missing that yellow floral. I do have a tiny bit left of mimosa from Yves Rocher and I layer the two to get close to that beauty that once graced me with it's presence. My ADHD hyperfocus on finding something similar might bankrupt me...ugh!

Update - Jubilee Scents ships to select countries so I couldn't get theirs but I got a dupe from KDJ Inspired that does ship internationally and it is similar. The initial spray smells like more aquatic water lily but the middle notes aren't too far after with the powdery florals. It's not a 100% but it is pretty close. I think from all the ones I tried the closest would be Kenzo flower EDP. I do layer it with a Mimosa that I have from Yves Rocher but I don't think they make it anymore. I did recently grab Yellow Iris from Demeter to see if it could be a good layering option and it's actually pretty good together with Kenzo Flower. All in all, I hope one day someone creates something like Feminine or they bring it back all together because that is one perfume I don't think I will ever get over.

My signature scent in 1999 until discontinued - seemingly a great year (1998-1999) for women's perfume IMO. This is a sensual, clean musk, perfectly balanced with lily, jasmine and sandalwood that would attract both men and women to me. This elixir would compel them to follow me, grab my arm and ask, "OMG, what are you wearing?" As flattering or annoying as it got, I did love its sillage, projection and the acknowledgment ;) I wore it all the time but personally enjoyed it most in the fall. I have purchased it online but it is not the same - it smells off - perhaps because of poor storage. I never understood why Dolce&Gabbana discontinued Feminine when it is obviously a masterpiece. Still on the look out for something that comes close ...

Fate would have it that ALL of my favourite perfumes get discontinued. D&G Feminine being one of my signatures at the time together with Feu D'Issey and Yohji. If you're wondering, their niche prices nowadays are well justified. They were niche quality before the market was even invented. So, back to D&G Fem, it smells exactly like the bottle. Cold, icy, dry and silver. Musk. Light like white cotton yet deep, woody and musky. A unique aquatic musk. Not soapy. So well rounded you never smell the mandarin or vanilla or flowers on their own, are they even in there? Men could wear it as well. It has no real name because no perfume name would fit. It's not a perfume it's a silver cloud.

I read once that when a beautiful perfume such as Feminine gets discontinued, it's because sometimes a company might be unable to find a key ingredient for that perfume and this can happen if the product is no longer made or if they would have to order the ingredients at a much higher cost from a different manufacturer. When the company’s only other choice is to change the fragrance we love, they might opt for discontinuing it instead. Also, when a certain ingredient is found to cause irritations, or becomes something that cannot be sold or imported from a specific country, as a result the manufacturer is unable to recreate that scent, resulting in a discontinued fragrance.

Feminine is charismatic and unique with an alluring edge. It is a fine blend of creamy-floral-light-musky scent, pretty, sweet, poised and very sexy. It opens with heady mimosa: some oddly aged and damp kind of mimosa, which could be quite overwhelming for the first 15 minuts. Then it smoothes down to a creamy bouquet of white flowers accorded with just the right portion of musk and vanilla that lasts. In the end of day it smells almost angelic, really amazing! The transformation of this scent is like Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair lady": not all that aggreeable at first, just give it a little time to develope, the loveliness in it will gracefully emerge, like a fair lady.

I bought this perfume as soon as it was out and my God, wasn't it ME! I kept buying it until they discontinued it and even after, spending small fortunes to secure myself at least a bottle. Simply wonderful fragrance. The first whiff one gets is that of mimosa, wisteria and heliotrope. Soon after cashmere wood, musk and sandalwood make their entrance. I noted this fragrance reacts best on slightly alkaline PH (i.e. cold skin type). On me the sillage last a full day. I get always compliments when I wear it and needless to say this perfume truly deserves them. The only one I ever loved of D&G, although I don't mind their Light blue in small doses.

I have been looking for this for so long, thinking it was called Femme and was from another brand. And now I finally saw it when I was looking for a musk perfume - my heart jumped for joy that I finally found it again - I had it once and thought it had roses as the main note together with the musk. And then I discovered that it is discontinued... just when I got my hopes up! Why do they always do this?????? And always to the most beautiful fragrances they have!! And they make all these new flankers of their mainstream ones. So, so disappointed... does anyone know something that smells like this one did??? Please give me a PM if you do!! 💔

This was a favorite of mine. I was sad to see it discontinued and would love to find a replacement. it was the kind of scent you just wanted to wear. It was just like your favorite shirt or pair of jeans that made you feel just right. A soft, beautiful floral that wasn't overly sweet,with a slightly musky/ cashmere dry down that just screamed feminine....hence the name. My all time fav D&G fragrance.

This had a beautiful fresh floral opening— so clean and crisp. The musks were also white and clean. The kicker was the juxtaposition of all of this with the creamy woods and slight touch of vanilla. It was creamy, like a refreshing lotion in a scent. It was. Discontinued, unfortunately. But this was a perfect scent to carry in your purse to spritz on the go. Impossible to overspray this scent.

Oh my goodness I had forgotten about this until right now. I should have guessed it would be discontinued. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale Florida so this scent was great with the heat. It had a coldness about it, but still somehow comfy. I used men's fragrances when I was in my teens so this was perfect for me then. I'd love to smell again just to see the memories it brought back.

WOW! I really, really, really love this fragrance, clean, fresh, soft, powdery... for me it's amazing. The drydown is beautiful and deffinetely feminine without being too girly like or sweet. Good staying power. Great for every season. Classy and beautiful. For me is the best Dolce&Gabbana scent and it's quite underated. Truly one of my favourites!

If I, as a person, could be a perfume, this would be it. It had everything, the clean, fresh, sweet, powdery scent... Refreshing in summer, cuddly in winter. I loved this scent so much, I was heartbroken when it was discontinued . Why would anyone discontinue scent like this one. Never found anything even closer to this. Amazing. D&G, I wanna talk!

I can't believe it, that I am writing another review on an another amazing discontinued perfume. It became my signature scent shortly before it got discontinued...how annoying is that? :( It was so beautifully musky and sensual. I think it represented Dolce & Gabbana very well...and yet...they discontinued it. I don't know what's their problem.

truly beautiful and different.stays with you all day long...warm and quiet,soft,lingering around even when you can't smell it anymore.and then someone will ask you what perfume you're wearing...amazing!it is made for true romantics and women that appreciate balance,small words and big deeds.

I love Dolce Gabbana's Feminine. The best perfume I ever had! So soft, feminine och powdery. Simply the best! Since it is discontiued I'm trying to find another fragrance that is as beatiful as this one. If anyone knows a perfume similar to this one, please let me know! :)

hi, i'm editing from italy. i would like to' know ... why this wonderful perfum isn t sold anymore ???? i love it , and i cannot go out withot wearing it? please Simeone knows why??? tks a lot... ps. i' m speaking about d&g feminine, of course

I first bought this in Florence, Italy and it conjures up great memories for me. It's a nice, light floral for daytime wear. It must react very differently with one's chemistry - I was surprised at the number of reviewers who can't wear it!

I was finally able to get my hands on this. Soooo excited I love the way it's smells on me. It's a sexy,musky, powdery scent. I'm impartial though this scent reminds me of some good times in my life.

Soft, lotion-like creamy with some of the best luscious florals. Drydown - I'm speechless, very da best! Clean soft musk:) Safe close to the skin scent with moderate silage.
