Fleur de Femme

On my skin this is not an exact dupe for Poison Girl. Not even the drydown. They do share the same type of sweetness, but no lemon in here unlike in PG and Fleur de Femme has the patchouli that adds spicyness, jasmine and the sour cherry, those are some strong notes and they can change the whole vibe of a perfume, so on my skin it turns abit oriental, sweeter, abit heavier than Poison Girl. This is like Poison Woman. Poison Girl has the orange blossom smelling like Black Opium's sweetness, the cashmeran adds smoothness, and the rose overload make it pink in my mind as I smell my arm. Fleur de Femme is burgundy in my mind. The almond is more intense in PG (Im an almond lover). The almond is subtle here, peach is more dominant, its a heavy sweet note! The playdoh smooth aromatic almond is the main reason I love PG, it makes it fresh and less serious. This is more mature than PG with a sharper essence.. no wonder they named that one Poison GIRL and not woman lol. It's def younger than Fleur De Femme. The drydown of Fleur De Femme is more white floral, the neroli adds some freshness thank God, it is a grown-up scent, warmer than PG. PG's drydown is orange blossom candied almond, youthful and powdery with the heliotrope, sweet and girly, very gourmand. Someone said Fleur De Femme can get cloying, yes it can so it performs well in cold weather. I love it and wear it also to bed, weird I know but makes my dreams sweeter lol. Orange and rose in both are a sharp contradicting melancholy twist, and that is more prominent in Fleur De Femme, amps up the heat in the winter cold! I am wearing both right now, PG on left arm, this one on the right. I love both but they belong in the same family, not exact dupes on my skin and according to my nose. PG makes me feel different too, its almondy & sweet but not heavy. FDF has way better lasting power tho. Poison Girl, the EDT now, has so much heliotrope and tonka with the orange overload that tricks my nose into smelling cherry for a minute. Both Fleur De Femme and PG EDP are balsamic which stays very strong throughout Fleur De Femme. This becomes more woody on my skin with the sandalwood and cedar, almost like pencil shavings, and the rose here is more dusty too. Im finishing my doctorate degree on these on Varens d'Orient Amethyst page lmao and Ill prolly continue on Girl of Now.

I am testing a decanted sample (thank you, rednut) of FdF against an official Poison Girl EDP sample. La Rive is a Polish brand and deserves to be widely recognised for providing some very good, inexpensive (not cheap!) perfumes, although some are undoubtedly better than others - but that's the case with every brand. On initial spray, Poison Girl is EXTREMELY sweet and has a massive sillage. I am a huge fan of the original Poison (the 80s version). I have Pure Poison, Midnight Poison and Hypnotic Poison in my wardrobe (and two elixirs); I don't think PG belongs with the Poison range. I don't mean to offend anyone who loves PG; it is a pretty perfume, BUT - in my opinion - this is Dior's (very) generic response to LVEB, Black Opium etc. It is "nice" but there's nothing about it that stands out from the plethora of other sweet designer offerings. La Rive's Fleur de Femme is actually a far more interesting composition. I wore it the other day and its longevity (easily 6+ hours) exceeds PG which I tried a couple of weeks ago. In fairness, I should mention I have skin which sucks up perfume; however, if your skin is NOT a sponge, you should get outstanding results from FdF! FdF and PG have quite a few notes in common (tonka, vanilla, almond, sandalwood, rose, bitter orange), but where they diverge - and what makes FdF a better composition (in my opinion) - is the addition of peach, cherry and patchouli. I love the combination of cherry and almond in perfume; they work so well together. I think patchouli gives a far better base (yes, I know it's a middle note) as it imparts a richness to the composition; don't be put off FdF by its inclusion, if you aren't a fan - it's not a dirty patchouli, by any means. PG is far "thinner" in comparison to FdF, the sillage of which exceeds that of PG, too. In summary: Although FdF and PG are similar, FdF is NOT a dupe. It's actually far better and is ridiculously inexpensive; I've ordered 90ml from a Polish seller on eBay UK for under £10 GBP (including P&P). At that price, it's rude not to try it.

Right now I'm testing Dior PG EDP, FdF and perfume parlour's dupe of PG side-by-side. I love the smell of PG but on me it's lacks staying power but most annoyingly the sillage is gone after an hour. I asked several friends nut no one could smell PG after the first hour of applying unless they came super close. So that's why I went on a hunt for a good replacement! What I find special about PG is the addition of rose, bitter orange and heliotrope. These prevent it from becoming a generic sugar bomb. I got FdF for 6 euro's in Germany, a steal! It has partially different notes than PG, the most detectable difference is less prominent rose/bitter orange, more prominent tonka, no heliotrope and added cherry and peach. To me the peach is very prominent in FdF, but mind you I loathe than note. For me peach makes everything generic. FdF certainly resembles PG but it's less bitter and overall more generic. I'd say it resembles PG by 85%. I don't get much patchouli from FdF. The cherry is a nice addition though and the staying power seems decent. I'll update it once I've worn it an entire day. The perfume parlour dupe is a much closer dupe than FdF, I'd say 98%. The perfomance and the price is a lot better that the original though, and that's why it's my favorite out of the 3. So overall, FdF is an outstanding fragrance for it's price in one of the nicest bottles I've seen from La Rive and it's certainly is close too PG because of the shared almonds, vanilla and tonka beans. But for me it does come across as slightly less interesting mainly because of the added peach. It is still definitely worth getting because of it's price though.

This definitely deserves ALL. THE. HYPE.👍🏼 Being perfectly honest: I lost trust in fragrantica rave reviewers after being immensely disappointed with 'Fiore del Dragone' EDP. BUT curiosity got to me again!! So I caved and purchased this fragrance...and it shook me. ⭐I want to start off by saying that this doesn't have any synthetic characteristics and doesn't smell alcoholic like most cheapies (like fiore del dragone which burnt my nostrils😒) First spray: Extremely similar to Dior Poison Girl it's uncanny, except slightly less citrusy and more peachy. As the hours pass by that's when it starts to diverge slightly from PG...it becomes a more milky, creamy vanilla with tonka, jasmine and almond as secondary dominant notes. Ugh and I cannot emphasise how delicious this smells, there is actually depth in this perfume. 🌟Performance is fantastic even compared to super expensive perfumes: 7-8 hours on my skin before fading away into nothingness and great projection. It won't fill a room like YSL black opium, BUT it will get you noticed by passers. ✨VERDICT: This smells more expensive than it is. Even if this isn't a full dupe of Dior's Poison Girl, this is definitely a delectable crowd pleasing scent that rivals fragrances more than 10x the price. 🔮I cannot recommend this enough, it's worth all the excitement here on fragrantica. Very sexy and classy. Well done La Rive, I will be purchasing more of your scents! P.S. Unfortunately it has more than doubled in price over the course of 3 years. It used to be €6 now it's selling for €13 🤷🏼♀️ (price which I have bought it for)

I reviewed this in the summer and quickly realised this wasn't a summer scent for me personally. I am now back with a winter review, and I was right, this perfume is perfect & beautiful in the colder months. I sprayed it at 7am yesterday morning, and I could smell the resemblence to Poison Girl/Hypnotic Poison....and it was a delight. With some dupes, the initial spray smells exactly like the perfume they are trying to duplicate, but they fall flat on the changes and are often linear in that they stay the exact same smell the whole way through..... NOT Fleur De Femme! This was gorgeous on initial spray, changing to something even more beautiful in later stages. The first notes I smell are Rose Pathouli and musk..... 2 hours later I was sitting there at my desk at work, and thinking damn....this perfume has weakened already, I moved to fetch a cup of tea and wham! The most wonderful tonka/vanilla smell arose from my body as I moved. I can liken it to LVEB in the drydown only, it has a wonderful longevity, I was enjoying this drydown for a good 6 hours more, so that made 9 hours in total until it became a skin scent. I remember trying Poison Girl last year, but I don't remember being struck sideways by the lovely drydown I experienced yesterday, and in no way did it last 9+ hours. I am not knocking PG because it was only the likeness to it that I bought Fleur De Femme in the first place.....but if you can't throw the big bucks at PG (like me), then this is a wonderful dupe, and to ME, I actually prefer it. And at £9 for 90ml....it's a no brainer.

It's interesting. The first blast is a bit harsh & Has a strong baby wipe Scent. {Both Harsh & Clean}. But, in about ten minutes it fades into a sweet almond, cherry-vanilla & floral scent. I can't believe the silage, projection and longevity of this perfüme though. For under $15 USD. The projection is about two feet and the longevity has been four strong hours and climbing. That was only a couple sprays. It doesn't smell cheap. {Not top-shelf, but definitely not cheap}. I'm pleasantly surprised. I couldn't wear this everyday. But, on those cold days when I'm feeling cozy and in the mood for Coco and cookies. Or just need something comforting. I like it. BTW. This reminds me more of C.Dior Hypnotic Poison, but a bit more floral. I definitely get the Geurlain Petite La Robé vibe also. But, If you like Geurlain's: Petite La Robe, Dior; Hypnotic Poison/ Poison Girl, Jessica Simpson: Fancy, Azzaro: Twin, or T.M. Angel you'll probably like this and want to add it into your collection and rotation. Because it's very much like those types of perfumes. For a few bucks, why not?

I don’t own Poison Girl but I have tested it a few times and like it quite a bit... not enough to splurge on a full bottle though. So this seemed like a perfect compromise! It does smell really similar (to my recollection) and that’s good enough for me. It is a really nice fragrance, I can definitely pick out the almond, vanilla and slight touch of anise..? Might be the cherry, I suppose. It’s sweet but not in a heavy, cloying way. It feels very chic and put together, not necessarily sexy but flirty. Longevity does leave something to desire, I sprayed at 2:30 and at 6 it is very subtle. At 8 it is still there but I have to really bury my nose in my wrist to smell anything. Don’t feel like there was great sillage but I have only tested it one time. It is certainly a great fragrance for the price. If I had paid $100 for it, I would not feel awesome about it but it is WELL worth the $15 I spent. It’s nice enough for me to feel like I don’t need to buy Poison Girl, so I will pat myself on the back, respray after 4hrs and have money leftover to buy different fragrances..!

Cherry almond sweetness!What a sweet, pretty perfume for such a great price!!! My expectations were kind of low to be honest (due to the low price) but what a lovely surprise! This smells as good as many of my designer gourmands and really lasts just as long as some of them too. Don’t get me wrong, the longevity on this isn’t great. My point is, the longevity isn’t great on many designer gourmands either. Then considering the beautiful fragrance La Rive Fleur de Femme is- you just can’t go wrong if like enjoy sweet fragrances. The price is so great on this, you could use it as a room freshener without guilt!! It’s easy to see why La Rive is so very popular in Poland. BTW-I hate this has been labeled as a dupe for Poison Girl because, even though there are some similarities, Fleur de Femme has it’s own unique sweet fragrance. For a budget perfume, I think it’s gorgeous. When folks start trying to compare it to a CD perfume, of course, it’s going to get negative reviews. Try this just because you want to instead of trying to make it a dupe.

I blind bought this because the price was cheap enough that it was OK if I didn't really like it. I know I shouldn't have been surprised because of all of the good reviews, but I was. The opening on me was very much like Black Opium. I was surprised. I smelled something almost spicy. That quickly dried down and I get this wonderful rose, cherry, almond, and musk. I really like it. I do not have Poison Girl and it's been so long since I tested it at the store, I can't remember. I can't say how close it is to that. It is not cheap smelling despite the price tag. No alcohol smell, no cheap notes that I pick up on. I'm normally a buyer of more expensive perfumes, but this one is wonderful. So much so, I will probably try some other fragrances from La Rive. Update-I sprayed this around 6pm last night. It is now 6am and my husband hugged me goodbye for the day and he could still smell it. A skin scent and a bit of a trail from my hair. The longevity, even if fairly close to the skin at this point, is great.

Wow wow wow...What a gem of a perfume. Yes, it smells just like Poison Girl. To me, the cherry note disappears almost instantaneously and then it's just a musky, floral, sultry vanilla. For the first few seconds it smells like amaretto cherry coffee creamer...so yummy. Another one it feels very similar to is The Body Shop Black Musk body mist. You know how some cheaper perfumes have that weird bathroom disinfectant note...I mean the imitation ones that aren't straight up counterfeits but are "impression of..." ones. Well this has NONE of those weird undertones. It smells pure and expensive. It definitely smells different than Black Opium but DEFINITELY gives me the same vibe. A sultry, dark, edgy vanilla gourmand scent with a slight kick. Reminds me of Armani Code for women too. I'm always extremely skeptical of inexpensive dupes but this really smells like a much higher end perfume for only $10. Thank you to whoever discovered this. See this is why the fragrancita community is my people! lol.

Okay, so I like this perfume. It’s fun and cute. I have only smelled Poison Girl once, when it first came out, so I cannot comment on the similarities. What it does smell like to me, in the opening, is dry orange Jell-o. The kind that comes in the cardboard box. It dries down to a nice vanilla. Longevity is fine, especially for what I paid for it. I think I paid $12 USD and it lasts about 4 hours. That’s more than some of my more expensive perfumes can say. It was a blind buy, fun and flirty. I don’t know if I’ll wear it often, but who knows, I just might. UPDATE: FDF is a perfume who’s beauty lies after the opening. After the overwhelmingly saccharine opening, it really does dry down into a lovely vanilla/cherry/tonka. The patchouli adds depth. What an interesting perfume! The cherry is actually working for me! The only other cherry I can wear without it going sour is Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss. Fleur de Femme is much more gourmandish. Great value for the money!

Youtuber 💗Maria Collett recommended this perfume if you have not subscribed to her please go ahead and go on to YouTube and subscribe to her she is so sweet and so I immediately went eBay and bought it for less than $15. I cannot believe how much this perfume reminds me of ICI by Coty perfume ( the Ici bottle even has a 🍒 cherry as the cap and the notes are similar. It's a balmy, nutty intense pleasant cherry vanilla 🍦gourmand sweet and a tad spicy but beautiful and light...a true sexy and seductive scent. 🖤And I absolutely love the bottle it looks so pretty on my vanity. I love the colors of the bottle there's just something so beautiful about ombre. I do agree that this perfume smells a tad like 🕊Jergens lotion but in the best way possible. The longevity is very good for this inexpensive perfume. I can wear it for about 6 hours without needing to reapply it. I really really love this perfume a lot I'm very happy to have it in my collection.

This is beautiful!! I have seen posts where people are saying that this perfume reminds them of the Jergen's Cherry and Almond lotion and I must say, i agree! But to me it smells like the lotion when I first put it on, that really luscious cherry and almond scent (with a little vanilla) before the lotion dries down and smells all powdery. I have the Jergen's Cherry and Almond body wash too and this smells exactly like that to me. I get a lot of sweet vanilla and almond when this perfume dries down and it's so lovely!! What amazes me even more is that this perfume is such a good value! If this baby lasts all day on me she's going to be in my top favorite perfumes! HIGHLY recommend if you love cherry almond syrup scents! Editing to add that this did last ALL DAY on me!! I sprayed three sprays at 6am and when i got home around 4:30pm I could still smell this gorgeous baby sooo good! This is a new favorite of mine!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Fleur de Femme is one of the best La Rive fragrances and my personal favorite from that house. It can easily keep up with its inspiration, Poison Girl. Generally I think La Rive is a good dupe brand, I haven't smelled anything really bad from them yet. But some of their fragrances smell like lighter versions of the original designer scents. This is okay, even fine in some cases, but I'm happy Fleur de Femme is not one of those light dupes, it's pretty full-bodied. Still it's not a perfect 1 to 1 copy, and I don't think it has to be. The main difference is that PG starts fresher and is more focussed on bitter orange and rose, while in FdF the additional deep and lush fruit notes of cherry and peach play a more important role. So it's an even warmer scent. Overall I would call Fleur de Femme creamy almond vanilla tonka heaven, a gourmand lovers dream. Very comforting and worth more than the 5 € I paid for it.

Fleur de Femme is a great love of mine. One of the best in my 100+ bottle collection. I got it when I first started collecting, thinking if I liked it I’d get Poison Girl. I did, but sold Poison Girl once I had both of them. I kept Fleur de Femme, I like it better. I’ve had great experiences with La Rive as a perfume house. I’m a big fan of this, Taste of Kiss, and Eternal Kiss (get that one if you want the Scandal! scent profile). Plus, their fragrance names crack me up. Worth every penny. Edit 5/7/23: The bottle I own has deepened in scent and has improved longevity after owning it a couple of years. Also, I’ve a memory attached to this scent. When I was little, I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll that would blow scented kisses when you pressed her tummy. The dolls’ name was Peaches ‘n Cream, and every time I spray Fleur de Femme I think of her.

Wow, what a surprise! Fleur de femme smell like the opening of girls of now almond blend with scandal by night Jean Paul Gaultier atmosphere, it close to scandal by night when fleur de femme project to the air. What so impress about fleur de femme is that you can wear this in office or daily wear. You are allow to control the times of spray to get the effect of girl of now and more spray to get scandal by night vibe. They smell sexy. The projectivity of Girl of now and Scandal by night are too strong can cause my nose in pain just only 1 spray. It was too strong and human nose can get very sensitive. I clearly understandable, people pay a bigger price for performance. Fleur stay on skin longer and on cloth are even softer depend on how many spray you control. Overall, I love this!

Wow what a fantastic little cheapie, this doesn't smell cheap at all. At first this smells super gourmand, like a cherry bakewell. There is a tiny touch of spice coming from somewhere but I'm not sure which note it is. It could be the patchouli but I don't really smell patch in this at all (I'm not a huge fan of patchouli). As it drys down it starts smelling like cherry almond lotion, really sweet and creamy. Performance is fantastic, I can put some on before bed and still smell it on my skin in the morning. About 85% the same as poison girl but to be honest I like this better (please don't hate me dior lovers) I find this smoother and it doesn't cause a migraine like PG does. If you're thinking about getting it just do it, it's so good for the price!

The first hour or so is a bit crude, but this comes together almost perfectly and I can't believe how good it is. It's a thick, powdery, rosy, patchouli/gourmand (with a touch of cedar). I can't speak for what others are looking for, of course, and I know it's targeted at women, but a few sprays of this and I'm thinking I've got a niche bottle that should cost a few hundred dollars for less than $10 per 90 ml. It's also strong and long lasting. This is why I like to blind buy very inexpensive fragrances. My success rate is quite high and I can always just give away, swap, or sell as a lot the ones I don't like (and I don't give a second thought to buying niche scents these days, even if they are discounted substantially, what's the point?).

It's about 85% Poison Girl(EDP imo because it's heavier) but with a cherry note. The cherry doesn't stand out hugely but is well blended which I prefer. This is pretty potent on me and last moderately(6-8hrs). In my tier of top la rive fragrances this is #2, after Eternal Kiss and before In Flames. And Taste of Kiss comes in 4th. Those are the ones I'd always repurchase. Their others are hit & miss. Fleur de Femme is a steal for the price. 8.5/10 rating *One thing that I want to note is that, from my experience, the La Rive fragrances work better after they're been initially opened, sprayed and then left to sit for a least a few weeks. On most of them the intensity, depth and performance tends to grow stronger as time goes by.

Update: I think if you sprayed this with La Rive Sweet Hope you would get more of a Poison Girl concoction. This is a really nice fragrance. Ya, you’ll get a blast of alcohol if you get aggressive with it, but that’s any budget based perfume. The smell isn’t long wearing, but you can’t really expect it from the composition of notes. But, overall this is just as good as some of my other designer fragrances and even better than quite a few. The scent can hold it’s own in terms of the blend too. Nothing too sharp or misaligned. I think that anyone that likes gourmand fragrances will love this. It’s a steal.

I sprayed this on hurriedly before I left for work and now I'm getting waves of delicious vanilla fudge with cherry. This is fantastic! I've had it for months and only started wearing this. I'm going to have to get another bottle because I foresee obsessively wearing this for the next few weeks and I don't want to run out. My second perfume from this brand and by the looks of things, there are certainly more to come. This is so good. And silage is huge for something so cheap. If you're looking to smell great on a budget I'd recommend this brand.

This smells so good for how cheap it was. Immediately I thought of Elie Saab Girl of Now Shine. That's the only one I've had within that range, and to me this smells basically the exact same. It was really strong upon first spray. It's a very syrupy cherry and vanilla but something reminds me of pineapple cake, just like Girl of Now Shine. If the longevity is good, I'll probably purchase this rather than GONS, simply for the reduced price tag. I'll update at a later point when it comes to the longevity.

My main review is way down below. But just a heads up. A much much lighter, more summery cherry-free, patch/cedar/tonka/peach free version of this is Ulric de Varens Varens d'Orient Amethyst. Jasmine,orange, rose and almond are common notes so you get the same effect, but with more orange and overall a cleaner more simple structure so the almond shines better. Same oriental vibe. Hypnotic Poison/Sweet Hope are orange-free so different category for me, more playful and marzipan-candy-like.

Strong and long lasting on my skin this is the kind of perfume that is remarkable but over time can become cloying and annoying.Strong almonds with tonka with a vanilla background a noirish and night scent for cool days.Quality is very good for the price. For people who love very sweet scents, this is a must. Definitely, on my skin is quite different from Manifesto, Manifesto is a tonka citrusy perfume this is almond/tonka/vanilla/ bitter orange scent.

This is clear, not powdery, sweet but not sugary. Fleur de Femme starts with smooth, rich almond and tart cherry, then vanilla joins in. (It reminds me of Elizabeth Arden's Pretty Hot, but PH never reaches a drydown - it disappears immediately; and Femme has more clarity) Fleur de Femme slowly transitions to soft, lingering sandalwood. This is one of the longest-lasting fragrances I have. It is lovely wearing Fleur this late autumn

This is the 3rd La Rive perfume I have bought as a blind buy to try based on the reviews as I love cherries and vanilla. The smell of this is delicious, cherries and almonds and also some vanilla! I only hope that the fragrance lasts on my skin longer than the other ones and if it does I would definitely buy this one again. EDIT: LOVE this and would definitely buy this again. sooo yummy!!

Wearing this beauty today, really enjoying it. It's definatly a winter perfume, much too heavy for summer- I did have a small sample of Poison Girl and I definately do think it's the same, maybe those of you who have Poison Girl will not agree, but it's close enough for me. It's very long lasting too, this is a winter favourite.

This is the closest dupe of Poison Girl that I have tried. So much so that I won't be buying Poison Girl like I had planned. Great longevity, and a beautiful fragrance. I think it's more for a cool winter than hot summer, it can become cloying if used as a summer perfume, but I am looking forward to wearing this in the winter.

It was a blind buy for me and I liked it right away but it was still summer so I waited for colder weather and now I loooove it. It seems to be that it got a bit sweeter even by sitting on the shelf for few months. I love the sour cherry, it is sweet and warm and sexy. And for the price, it is amazing.

Star-Kitty I'm not surprised it doesnt smell like Black Opium, because it's actually not meant to, its always been known as a dupe for Poison Girl, and to that I can attest that it IS exactly like Poison Girl, and it's beautiful. Wherever did you read it was meant to be like Black Opium?

Same opinion as Charess but, on my skin, longevity is huge, 7 to 9 hors with heavy sillage for 1 hour plus 2 hours of moderate sillage.Exceptional for the price, although, like PG only wearable on cool temps (never wear this on 88 F plus days, it is obnosious as well as PG).

The scent is amazing! I love such kind of smells. But I'm dissatisfied with the longetivity! It lasted only about 2 hours on my skin and the sillage was good only for half an hour. Then it turned into a skin scent. I'm disappointed. The scent's amazing though.

I've had this one for a long time now. Around 5 years I think. It no longer resembles Poison Girl at all. The older it gets the deeper & darker this becomes. It's a super rich delicious vampy red wine scent now. And I love it. Too bad it discontinued. :(

To me this is the first perfume I own that smells amazing ( the notes seem not change much) from the beginning till drying down. The almond note is very intensive here. I love to wear this on windy or cold day it warms me up.

Cherry Almond! And reminds me of Jergens lotion after it has dried down and settles in. That's not a bad thing since I like the way that smells. I've never smelled Poison Girl, so I can't compare. Overall, a good buy!

I really really like it. Can't stop smelling it! To me it's like a very well put together marzipan that exudes confidence and seduction. I would definitely recommend. Deserves every penny >.

Babyyy, this juice smells so good!!! I smell diesel loverdose, black opium, Lolita Lempicka sweet and the original one!! Maybe I should stock up!!

85% similarity to poison girl. It's so good! I could wear this everyday! Very sweet gourmand. It smells like an almond powdery cherry syrup MMM!

Bought for my wife.She liked it. Exact poison copy..great perfume and great longevity and silage. Doesn't feel cheap perfume by any means.

This is good but it's definitely not for warm weather it's too much. It's so cozy and I wish it lasted longer...

I bought 6 La Rive perfumes while I was in the drugstore looking for a dupe of Hypnotic Poison for my daughter-in-law. I wore this one this morning on my walk but this is the one I like least of all of all the ones I bought. That first blast is nauseating. It must be the sour cherry maybe. It smells really synthetic and somehow has a rubber scent to it. This does disappear relatively quickly and it stays close to the skin as a kind of heavy fruit concoction. I can't really pick out any of the notes mentioned above. I have never tried Poison Girl, so I can't say if it is a successful dupe or not. I get that cheap synthetic vanilla I smell in a lot of these budget perfumes. In fact this one reminded me a lot of Viva La Juicy Gold Couture. I gave it a second try and wore it for the whole morning, but I really don't like this one much. Edit: I am now wearing this fragrance again and the sourness seems to have disappeared. I like it much better, but it's not 'stunning' as some other peoole have said. I layered Yves Rocher Cerisier en Fleur on top of it and it was rather beautiful. It gave it more of a freshness for a summer evening. Go easy on the sprayer.

08. November 2024 I see a lot of comparisons of this to Diors Poison girl, i have Poison girl only in EDT and i do not think they are much alike, but it does smell like a cross between PG edp and edt. I did side by side comparison for Poison girl EDP and this Fleur de femme and also asked my colleagues about their opinion: Poison girl EDP is more deep and more vanillia sweet, but Fler de femme is less deep, but more cherry sour. Its a very nice sour cherry, neroli, almond, vanilla mix and surprisingly i like it a lot. It is November up here North, with temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius and this fragrance fits this weather perfectly. I have been wearing it non/stop lately. It even lasts nicely on my hair and my clothes the whole day and i can smell it at night, when i go to bed. This price point and composition itself are simply unbeatable, you cannot go wrong with it. It is not as headache inducing sweet cherry fragrance as many other similar cherry fragrances and even my mom, who is not into heady fragrances is really liking it and asked for a bottle.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not familiar with Poison Girl or Hypnotic Poison (those flankers never appealed to me after the original Poison, may what it once was rest in peace), but was intrigued by the notes and the positive reviews for Fleur de Femme. This is a very sweet perfume. Tonka bean, root beer-vanilla bomb with a big dose of almond. The overall vibe is soft milk chocolate like powdery chocolate milk mix with an almond outline. At first I really regretted buying it blind ($7) because the first 20 minutes were so obnoxious and I didn't like the cherry neroli combo, BUT I adore the rest of it. LOVE it. Well worth $7 to say the least, and longevity is pretty good. I just know to allow at least 20 minutes after spraying before leaving the house. This gets a 9/10 from me.

I purchased this fragrance because Poison Girl isn’t easily accessible/testable where I live. So unfortunately, I can’t compare this to Poison Girl ): On my skin, the opening is effervescent and reminiscent of cherry soda or root beer. The sour cherry note is a bit overwhelming and dominates the opening for me, even after the almond and floral notes make their appearance. I personally don’t like the first 30~50 minutes or so, as it’s very sharp and almost sickly sweet, but the fragrance gets REALLY nice when it starts to dry down. During the dry down, the sharp cherry/fruity notes finally begin to dissipate, and what’s left is a really nice blend of vanilla, almond, tonka, and fruit. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist.

I deleted my first review on this. I don’t know what happened but I hated this at first. I gave it multiple wears in different conditions. It was just always too sour and tart, sharp. I’ve had it for several months now, and tried it again. Even before I sprayed it I could smell it from the bottle and I love it all of the sudden?! I’m finally getting the almond and slight vanillaness and subtle sweetness. I don’t think longevity is great, but so far hardly any perfumes last on me. This went from hate, to don’t mind, to like quite a lot! I’m excited to wear it more and see if it develops and how well it sticks.

I saw a lot of good reviews for this perfume so I blind bought it. I sprayed it as soon as I could and I was hit by a really strong old lady smelling perfume which left me really disappointed. I sprayed it on last night all over me so I could see if it lasts and if the dry down is any good. And I must say, the dry down is amazing for the price! It smells dreamy, elegant, sweet and I just can't stop smelling it. I've noticed that with La rive perfumes, when you spray it it's really nose stabbing and synthetic for a bit, but it gets better later. All in all its pretty good for 4€

Just a short observation: Sprayed on cloth, e.g. on a sleeve/scarf/collar it does resemble the almondy vanillic side of Poison Girl EDP. Also has quite an impressive longevity on clothes: 2-3 days. (!) But, sprayed on skin, opens up quite quickly to a scent of its own: cherries, flowers, with a a slight citrus touch. Unfortunately fades quite soon, leaving a soft vanillic base. Won't last until next morning if sprayed before going to bed. Quite a find in this price group.

Yes, it's really like Dior, but a little bit. Although for the price, it's quite good. Sweet and pleasant. Longevity and sillage is very good, eight hours for sure. It's simply excellent! I can clearly smell the cherry, almond, vanilla and tonka beans. It's perfect for every day, if you don't want to waste an expensive Dior. Fleur de Femme is a great substitute for visiting friends. I blind bought it due to curiosity, since the price is affordable, and I'm quite pleased!

I buyed this just because of the reviews, so i didn't really know what to expect. To me it doesn't really smell like poison girl. Maybe there's some similaritys but i dont know...it smells very nice, powdery sweet and comforting. On my skin it's very soft so i have to spray it quite a few times. I mean for what it is, it's actually very good! The price was only 5,40€ Edit: This gave me couple compliments today!

This is pretty amazing at the price point in a genre that tends to be overdone. The main notes are cherry, almond, vanilla, musk, patchouli with some florals components and sandalwood. Does this remind me of LPRN? Yes. But this is not as sweet and the almond is more dominant than the fruit. Everything is smooth. The notes are all there but not fighting and not making your teeth ache.
