Femme

I agree with the fact that the opening is quite soapy but give this a shot because after 15-20 minutes it begins to get better. In fact, the dry down is so breathe-taking that it's impossible not to feel the rest of the notes after that soapy rose opening. I still keep the last 8-10 sprays. I adore it. It definitely has something different. It's not a pure soapy floral fragrance because if it was, I wouldn't love it so much. I can pick the rose note but it's just something different. Alluring. I can definitely smell tangerine and a little bit black currant harmonizing with the rose. Each sniff is head-turning. OMG!! Floral fruity but not like any other girly or sweet ones. We're talking about a woman here. Extremely feminine. Elegantly seductive. Ravishing! Admittedly, I'm still considering getting another bottle. I usually like balsamic,vanilla,sweet and so on type of perfumes. This is the only rosy one that I'm in love with. It's so special,so unique for me. My first love. I feel like I couldn't have been in love with any other rosy scent anymore.That's definitely one of the most attractive perfumes I've ever had. Btw, lasts well. Especially on clothes. I remember smelling it on my clothes the day after. I think it just makes feel irresistible and sexy. I first bought my first bottle with my ex in Paris. He was like WOW. My current boy friend likes almost every scent on me but this one is the one to which he's attracted the most. The way he acts and talks changes.l ol. Unlike the common thought, I would usually wear it at night but I could wear it anytime though.

This is my ultimate happy perfume. It makes me feel pretty, feminine and joyous! My taste in perfumes is mainly into florals and I dislike musks and super fruity perfumes. I also do not like sporty spicy scents. So being a firmly floral person, this is my absolute favourite. It is one of those pretty smells which just makes you feel nice, pretty and cheerful. It isnt too girly or too womanly so goes with any age group- I would put it more as a Sweet Feminine scent. I don't know if this would make sense, but this is what I would imagine a Virgo woman or a Pisces woman to wear- maybe an Aries, Cancer, Libra or a Capricorn on occasion too. Its not energetic enough or lustful or complicated enough for the others. Its generally mild, has a light sillage and lasts on me for upto 2-3 hours and for around 4-6 hours on clothes. I find it perfect for daytime wear specially for office etc. In one word, this is a "feminine" scent. Not sultry, seductive, or intriguing either. Its for those times when you just wanna smell good, for yourself and those around you but not try to attract attention. Its not too complicated with simple pleasant tones and hence, I would heartily recommend it, specially if you are gifting to someone. As a reference point for blind buy recommendations, other perfumes that I like are Dior J'Adore, Nina Ricci Premier Jour, Bvlgari Pour Femme, Burberry London, Kenzo Flower, etc. I love Dior Poison too but this isn't on the same plane as that.

I must say FEMME is a very lovely Hugo Boss fragrance. The only low point would be that it neither projects nor lasts, at least on me. The currant, rose and tangerine are prominent at the beginning, then they softly fade to a more delicate rose, freesia, apricot and lemon tree. If I were to pick the two strongest notes (and, again, this is on MY skin; your experience might vary), I'd say rose and tangerine. Not much of the "white flowers" or amber on me, but that's ok because the rest of the notes are just what I would be happy to settle for. Thankfully, no overbearing jasmine here, but I do miss the lily though. I'd wear FEMME in spring and fall, daytime but, since the sillage is really weak, it could probably work in the summer, too. Way too weak for winter, unless, maybe, you spray a lot. Wish it lasted longer but, on me, it's maybe 15 minutes til it starts to fade. I can still detect it about 1.5 hrs later but it's very, very weak. I might try to spray on a scarf, and see if that helps to make it last. Longevity: poor to weak, 1.5 hrs Sillage: soft, close to skin, no trail

Femme is fresh and very evocative of the time of its release, so for me this is a happy and nostalgic scent especially because I remember my sister owning this roughly around about 2006-2007 when it first launched. Its fresh in a "I stepped out of the shower, put on a clean shirt and spritzed on some perfume" kinda way, which isn't to me a bad thing and makes it very easy to wear in a variety of settings. The initial opening burst is bright and sparkling with some freesia and soft citruses from the tangerine note, a little black currant and some amber pop out a little during the dry down which add some extra depth along with some lily and rose that helps to flesh out the composition. Its simple, but sometimes its simple and uplifting that you want and this one hits the spot for me! Longevity is ok, I get about 4-6 hours from 4 spritzes and a light, airy silage. This is totally easy to wear year round for work or casually as a spring summer scent, it just makes me feel happy and transports me to a happier period of time. Future repurchase? yep!

When I first got this, there was this screechy note I can detect and don't like. I planned to give it away so I put it at the back of my clothes cabinet until I can find someone who can appreciate the scent. Not just anyone but someone special. This was about 2 months ago. Yesterday, I wanted to smell all my perfumes again (it makes me happy to do that 😊) and I was amazed by what the scent morphed into. Gone was the screechy note, it its place is this beautiful floral fragrance. And it blends beautifully with my skin chemistry. The cherry on top was it stays for hours on my skin! This earned its place among the top 3 in my collection along with Eternity (my favorite) and Tommy Girl. I'm finding out that freshies aren't for me, florals are! I'm waiting for my Giorgio Beverly Hills to arrive and will be ordering Sung Alfred Sung later today. Happy, happy, happy! 🌸
