Ô Féminin

Ô Féminin is for the Neroli/orange blossom/white floral purest. I thought maybe this was being overhyped the first time I tried it, but the second time around—I GOT IT! Starts out with a photorealistic neroli with green petitgrain and a dash of spicy pink pepper. As it dries down, it starts to mellow and transform into a delicately sweet orange blossom supported by smooth florals, vanilla, and a dash of sandalwood. It's sublimely beautiful and feminine without being overly sweet. The quality and performance are also top-notch. I'm an orange blossom/neroli lover, but Jean Paul Gautier has ruined me with Classique Essence de Parfum and Pinup, so when I want this scent profile I tend to pull for these bolder options. However, the more I wear Ô Féminin, the more addictive it becomes and I think it could be a lovely signature/professional scent, especially in hot weather. It's timeless and elegant. Between the warm weather and allowing some time for my decant to macerate, the balmy quality of orange blossom and musk radiates on my skin beautifully. DIVINE!

Oh this was love at first spray. Opens fresh and zingy with a blast of citrus and petitgrain. Reminds me of high quality soaps with natural ingredients. Definitely not a cleaning product citrus at all here. I don't see why people call it green though. The petitgrain calms down fairly quickly in strength while still being present for hours. It moves on to a sweet and creamy, fluffy base of orange blossom. It's very blended, like a field of wildflowers. Most of all it is natural and realistic. It has a wispy feel to it in the way it hangs in the air. Projects but isn't strong and overpowering at all. Beautifully balanced with the freshness of the topnotes and the sweetness of the base. The orange blossom stays as a skin scent for ages along with a bit of vanilla. Absolutely gorgeous during spring, early fall and mild weather. It doesn't last too well during hot days. On cold days it's more citrusy and feels less balanced, the florals don't come out as well.

Gorgeous. I agree with others this is an orange blossom centric fragrance. Call me crazy but this reminds me of Angelica Noir without the heavy vanilla and the orange blossom in Orchidee Vanille. Definitely if you like those scents you'll like this one too. Perfect for Spring and Summer it's longevity has been around 8 hrs and sillage is within arms length. It's forms a beautiful greenish aromatic powdery orange blossom bubble. I immediately bought a bottle soon after sampling. In the last couple of weeks this has garnered quite a few unsolicited compliments. It leaves a trail when you walk. 10/6/2024: This has become such a beautiful comforting fresh and safe scent for me this past summer. Office friendly if you're easy on the trigger, just one of my favorites to wear 1/11/2025: An absolute show stopper in cold weather. The aromatic greeness is comfortably crisp yet cocoon-y. I adore this fragrance. Very feminine and effortless.

This is a gorgeous perfume. To be honest, I did not like it at first when I tested it on a strip. It was too citrusy for my taste and a bit acrid somehow. But my husband liked it so I decided to try it on skin. Oh my god. It completely transformed into a sweeter, floral, extremely sultry fragrance. Love love love. Been sniffing myself all day it’s that good. Definitely for daytime in spring and summer. A new favorite for sure! Edit! Been wearing this for about a week. Still love it - gives a “drinking an aperol spritz vibe” to me. But I’m starting to notice that it will not last more than 2 hours or project more than a foot off my body in cool weather (50-60 Fahrenheit). Not surprising given the citrus notes. I’ve been over spraying (which is not my MO, but I’ll do what I gotta do). Need to test again once my area heats up. Cool climate cuties, you’ve been warned.

Yes! Such a well balanced Neroli and orange blossom fragrance. This has gone right up to the top of my list along with Neroli Amara. It’s so beautiful. It gets right, what other orange blossom fragrances get wrong. Love Don’t Be Shy is toothachingly sweet, juvenile and lacks any elegance. Sintra has way too much petitgrain, Safanad has a vintage hair product smell, and so on. The neroli forward scents have poor projection and longevity. Neroli portofino, Grand Neroli, Fleur narcotique even. This has moderate longevity, and silliage is also moderate, although hoping it will improve with time. Neroli Blanc Intense is a love for me, it is heavier and sweeter, so there is a time and place for it, but I now prefer this to it. There is an unexplainable uniqueness that sets this apart. Successful blind buy!

I ordered this perfume directly from M. Micallef's website and I got my hands on it yesterday. They send you a travel-size of the same perfume you order as complementary and you get to choose two samples as well, and it ships for free. The price you see is the price you pay (198 USD), so no additional sales tax will surprise you, I assume it is included in the price. I cannot tell you how much I have fallen in love with this perfume within one day! It was a head-over-heel love at the first sniff. I have no idea how they created this one, but it is a perfection—a photorealistic orange blossom with a touch of femininity in the most sophisticated and elegant way. Longevity and sillage are very good as well. It is probably not the beast mode, but it is high up there. Love, love, love.

My initial experience was so confusing given the hype. All I smelled was citrus, neroli, and petitgrain. Where was the orange blossom, vanilla, and fluffy musk I'd been promised on social media? On a whim, I tried my decant a month later and it was an entirely different experience. I quickly finished my decant and ordered a full bottle because I am completely addicted. Yes, the opening is still all citrus, neroli, and petitgrain, but it's softer and short-lived, completely surpassed by the prettiest and most feminine orange blossom, vanilla, and musk combination. It's slightly sweet, balmy, and warm, yet blooms in hot weather. This one needs to macerate and is worth giving a second chance.

After owning this fragrance for a month now, I can say that performance is better. I would say it is long lasting and sillage is moderate. I personally have an issue with new perfumes, I really have to spray them and then let them settle for a while before I can figure out what I'm smelling. I really love this! I can now smell the clean jasmine here, and also, I detect some rose way in the background. I just love the clean linen smell of Neroli, and the slight sharpness of petitgrain. This is so well done, I must try more fragrances from the brand! I chose this for my milestone birthday party in April! It’s so elegant!

I simply adore this one! So.. I did what I rarely do, I bought a perfume straight from the house🥰 (with discountcode:CLEO10) It reminded me of something, when I tested it.. But I couldn’t figure.. I realised, that it must be Killian Love, but without the thick marshmellow, that just went to sweet for me.. This is more “fresh”, yet sweet and ultra sensuel.. And so different and unik.. Its a BIG love for me.. My collueqe told me, that I smelled fantasaastic also🩷 Looking forward for my botlle to arrive!

This is on the challenging side of pretty - attractive and pleasant to wear. The pink pepper is fairly prominent making it more appropriate for women rather than girls. It remains fresh all the way through - you need to be a neroli/orange blossom lover to enjoy this. I am, so I do. Office appropriate and a good signature scent option. Very long lasting on my skin - 8 hours plus. For intelligent women who enjoy their femininity.

Wearing this today and it's the PERFECT scent for spring. It's fresh and sweet with a bit of "saltiness" to it. Not sure where that is coming from? maybe the petitgrain? It reminds me a tad of Idole Aura but an orange blossom version. Performace is good and I imagine it will get better as it macerates. It's a sweet white floral cloud that feels modern and wearable for any situation. For sure a signature scent contender.

Jesus this is good. I mean, fan-fuggin-tastic! My relationship with orange dominant scents has blossomed over these past few years and this one is a juicy, feminine take on all things orange but don't let the smooth taste fool you. This is a jasmine BOMB. But the jasmine does NOT come off indolic or musty (like in Memo Madurai). OMG this is blended so well that it leaves me craving it more and more.

This is gorgeous! So fresh, beautiful, clean and truly feminine. It's sweet but not too sweet or cloying. Reminds me a lot of Love Don't Be Shy but without the overdose of sugar powder and marshmallow. It evokes the image of freshly washed linen drying up in the sun among orange trees. The longevity is pretty good too (8+ hours on clothes), projection is moderate. The bottle is stunning

Such a beautiful fragrance! This is definitely a petitgrain and neroli bomb so you have to like both of these. But if you like them as much as I do, then you will enjoy this fragrance for sure. It’s warm floral, but definitely in a modern way and it kind of reminds me of sugared flowers. It smells really expensive an elegant and would make a great signature summer perfume.

Very beautiful and fеminien. Amazing performance with great longevity (around 10 hours on my skin) and sillage. Usually I dont like at all citrus fragrances but this one is smooth and creamy. Yes, this is not something generic but its very well done and performing much better than similar designer fragrances. Very light and bright. Perfect for spring and summer.

I AM IN LOVE!!! 😍 This perfume is beautiful; clean, energizing, and elegant. Was afraid it would be an old lady scrubber but far from it. The neroli shines through and makes this a perfect fresh signature scent worthy fragrance.

I received this perfume from a subscription company. I like it, it reminds me of Neroli Oranger, but more powdery. Orange blossom is very prominent to my nose. I do prefer Neroli Oranger a bit more.

Extraordinarily realistic fresh orange blossom scent. It transports you to a wide open fairyland space with beautiful orange trees. Magical. It’s nothing like LDBS. This is fresh, green, and wow.

The pampered daughter of Tender by Miller Harris (The most underrated perfume). It has the same DNA of Tender by MH with fresher, happier and brighter vibes.

This is an orange jasmine musk bomb and I'm obsessed! It's so juicy and delicate at the same time. As a orange blossom lover this was a fantastic blind buy!

I love this, it reminds me of a modern version of Organza; less invasive and easier to wear. Very pretty.

Very beautiful neroli, feminine, warm. Good projection and longevity.

My most beloved orange blossom perfume bar none is Memo Paris “Sintra.” And Sintra reawakened my interest in orange blossom scents. O Feminin is a relatively linear and rather simplistic perfume. But overall, I like the fragrance a lot. And FWIW, O Feminin is similar to Sintra yet greatly departs from Sintra in its dry down. O Feminin’s opening has evident spicy notes with hints of citrus and petitgrain. Despite being a soft and diaphanous fragrance, strong petitgrain is apparent in the opening notes, as well as throughout the entire wear...until the very end. The petitgrain DOES quiet down with time. And without turning this review into a Sintra review, I can only say Sintra‘s dry down is smoother, markedly sweeter and much creamier than O Feminin’s base. O Feminin develops as a soft, slightly powdery, somewhat musky, floral fragrance with orange blossom & neroli supported by wood notes, a bit of vanilla in the base. On my skin, O Feminin is very much an intimate skin-scent with little projection. I wish performance was stronger with more longevity, especially given the price point. But performance is very soft and longevity is minimal.

I’m usually not a big fan of neroli, as it tends to get screechy and soapy. O Feminin is interesting though! It smells strangely chemical for 5-10 seconds when sprayed and you shouldn’t put your nose in it - but then! A beautiful journey through a lime and orange garden begins. I have a Kaffir Lime Tree - and the opening of O Feminin smells exactly like the flowers on my tree! Lime blossom smell similar to orange blossom, but with a hint of lime and something pungent. The opening of O Feminin is very citrusy and in the background there’s kaffir lime leaf and orange blossom. Drydown is similar to other orange blossom scents. It’s warmer, sweeter and not as citrusy and pungent. Quite natural smelling, now the orange blossom is at the front. If I were to invest in a decent neroli fragrance, this one might be it. It smells so natural and similar to my tree, I really enjoy it.

I really really dislike the opening of this scent - there's something headache inducing in it initially but around the half an hour mark, it starts to mellow out and settle into a beautiful floral sandalwood scent that I find calming. Not sure if I'd purchase though and will have to finish my sample before deciding.

This is the best warm weather orange blossom fragrance I’ve tried. This smells like the perfect balance between LDBS and Sintra. Not too sweet or too green. Moderate projection and 6+ hours of wear. I rate this one a 10/10!

This is really beautiful and I am getting tons of compliments when I wear it but petitgrain tends to give me headaches and it is quite prominent on my skin. Will enjoy my decant but will probably not go for a full bottle.

I'm really disappointed that I blind bought this fragrance. While it is a pretty scent, it is just too light for my taste. Please message me if you are interested in buying it from me. I have only used it twice.

I’ve never been a petit grain/neroli fan but I like to sample from time to time fragrances that are not my usual scent profile. Taste can change over time, so you never know how some fragrances might surprise you in positive ways. O Feminin unfortunately is not one of those positive ones. It’s very soapy, like a cheap, lower quality soap bar, mix of petit grain, neroli and orange blossom in the opening. Not something I enjoy in the slightest but it gets better after about half an hour when the heart notes: jasmine, rose, vanilla, mandarin orange and sandalwood become more noticeable and balance the initial bitterness and soapiness. I don’t find it sweet at all, to me it’s just a green, aromatic, citrusy white floral. Let’s just say that O Feminin is not my cup of tea but might be the perfect fragrance for people who enjoy this scent profile. It reminds of Sintra as other people suggested in the reminds me of section. If you like Sintra, this is a safe blind buy in my opinion. And better value for money!

I almost blind bought this because of the rave reviews and I’m glad that I didn’t. Instead I bought a decant and at first spray I was instantly reminded of another fragrance. This is blatantly a niche copy of Prada Paradoxe which I prefer over O feminin. I did a test side by side and O’ Feminin smells like Prada Paradoxe with a hint of rose & spice from the pink pepper. The rose makes this slightly sharp. I prefer Prada Paradoxe as it’s a smoother blend to my nose and the pear and tangerine adds a juicy fruity touch. If Prada Paradoxe was too sweet for you then this is one to try. It’s a very green version of Prada Paradoxe. The petigrain and neroli gives it that characteristic.

This scent is sweet and flowery but not fresh/airy sweet, more like candied flower sweet. At the same time, it's green. Again, not fresh/light green but sticky green. Smells like a an apothecary full of different balms where all the scents are combined in the air and you cannot figure out whether you like it or not. It definitely has a vintage, old vibe. First couple of times I tried it, I had to wash it off because it's quite intensely green and sticky but now I sprayed it while having a cold and it has a more appealing scent.

The patchouli is so strong in this to me, and wrecked the scent for me unfortunately. I much prefer Mizensir Solar Blossom for a semi-sweet, light, realistic orange blossom and vanilla.

Very strong, green opening that lasts quite a while. Too long for my liking. It’s a shame because the deep dry down is nice. The orange blossom is sweet and sophisticated, but by the time it gets to that point it’s already become a skin scent.

I almost bought this and I'm so glad I didn't. I originally bought a 2ml sample which I loved but decided to get a 5ml sample to make sure I really liked it. The second time around all I get is chips and salsa. I asked my daughter if she liked it and she did but after I asked her if she gets chips and salsa that's all she can smell now. This is a hard no for me.

All I get is corn chips. Hard pass for me.

Oh woooooowwwwww. She's preeeetty. Comforting. Soft. Musky. Powdery. Warm. Delicate. The dry down on this is so calming. Like a spa day. I just got a bottle of this today and I love it. The orange blossom is not loud or candy sweet like Love Don't Be Shy. This is a grown up, calm, spa-like version. They're not even in the same boat at all. Not related. This is feminine indeed tho. I can't wait to let this maserate a bit and wear this in the summer. It's cold and dry here at the moment. This is a quiet, close to the skin, not projecting, type of comforting scent. I was hoping for a big scent bubble. Maybe it will be come to that at some point. But freshly opened today it's pretty quiet. It's really beautiful. I was expecting something more bright and sparkly. This is muted and shy. Close to the skin. Very very pretty, soft, and girlie. Girlies of all ages. If you're expecting a big bright loud orange blossom, this ain't it. But if you want a soft and cozy, cuddly, skin scent of orange blossom and musk, this is it.

Looking at the notes-I'm like yes, yes, yes, and yes. This sounds absolutely delightful and I have to get a bottle of this. So many of the recent orange blossom and neroli fragrances have been paired with marshmallow lately so it's nice to see a refined new orange blossom queen. Sharida said this is amazing and a beast so it's definitely going to be added to my collection. Ok, I’ve had it for the past week and I can say it is a true, real smelling orange blossom fragrance. She’s not too sweet and not exactly perfumey smelling either. It literally smells like you’ve got a bouquet of orange blossoms near you. I don’t discern too many of the other notes. I wouldn’t necessarily call it green but just very very fresh, simple, and straightforward. If I could detect any other notes it would be a mild neroli and Jasmine. I was expecting to smell some other notes with it but alas, it’s fairly linear. I layered this with Kayali Vanilka 28 and it was beautiful. It turns out that I like my orange blossoms a bit sweeter.

I purchased this perfume about 6 month ago. My expectation was - feminine, rosy, air light and sexy. And... I was totally disappointed! It was something more sharp and green, herb-ish. I had no idea why all those youtube bloggers did not mention that it's actually very herbal-scratchy and why they say it's divine? I listed it for sale on FB. Now it's winter, Los Angeles winter- sunny, pleasant, green. God Bless California! And I decided to give it one more try. And now I changed my mind. I will not sell it, I'll use it a LOT! The mood of Ô Féminin is happy (mandarin).Also it has soft sweetness. And yes it has some green-herbal notes, but they don't bother me any more. This scent is feminine but in a innocent way. It might seduce but absolutely effortless, like you don't mean it. It's woman in a happy mood, simple white dress, loose hair surrounded by flowers, herbs, citruses and just enjoying herself, which is so attractive. I really like this.

This is the truest orange blossom fragrance I have ever known. I have a blooming sweet orange tree at my backyard and the smell is uncanny similar. I used to cut a few branches indoor to admire the lovely scent. The scent is sweet, distinctive and luring. It’s lurking in the air and once you catch the trail of it, you just have to inch closer for more. Not as bright and as summery as I saw in some other comments. It’s a mature, elegant and very feminine floral scent. It starts with a bit green, orange peels kind of but that will pass very fast, leaving a dense, sweet combination of warm pepper, jasmine, orange blossom and vanilla ( exactly the notes) So I think OF is a perfect spring scent, but not a summer vibe. Sillage is good, not very long lasting on me or maybe I just very used to this scent.

When I smelled this on my friend , I was like whaaaaat is that beautiful smell . On her it smell green , floral and just so beautiful. So base on that I bought the bottle and when I tried that on me all I could smell was the súper strong neroli. Which I do like but not that strong lol and I was ready to return but thought let me give that another try. And boy am I glad I did, it’s the most beautiful and well blended florals and I’m thinking is gonna be one of my favorites. I don’t really get the rose but everything blended together just smells like the most beautiful flower garden. If your a white floral and just plain floral fanatic give this a try. And thank me later.

How feminine and sensual is it? Well, well enough! A warm musky white floral Neroli-Petitgrain heaven with supporting notes of orange blossom, jasmine, pink pepper, soft musk and creamy sandalwood. It smells bolder, more refined and grown up that LDBS as it focuses not on the marshmallow-y musky sweetness but rather on the clean signature DNA of petitgrain and neroli. It’s scent profile is powdery warm and “cuddly” rather than clean powdery and fresh. Longevity and projection 9/10 For anybody looking for a seductive petitgrain and neroli scent that doesn’t smell too innocent and girly, there you go 😊.... O Feminin is signature and full bottle worthy

From a sample: Very pretty fragrance but it does smell a lot like LDBS, Sintra, ect. Not an exact dupe but in the same family for sure. It’s a more refined take I’ll give it that and also has much much better longevity and projection than those two so if you are in the market for this scent profile then I would suggest this one for sure but as for me, I’m quite bored of the LDBS type of dna so it’s not fb worthy for me but definitely a well done perfume nonetheless!

This is a beautiful, beautiful perfume. Feminine and classy and elegant. But as much as I like it, I don't know if it would be something full bottle worthy for me? If it was designer prices? Sure. But niche level? Not sure it is worth that to me at this point in building my collection. Right now, I am picking up things that are a bit different to what I already have. But if I can find this for a decent price, I would grab it in a heartbeat.

OFeminin is an extraordinary scent and will be perfect for this spring and summer. It's really well balanced with orange blossom, jasmine, neroli, petigrain, musk etc. It has been lasting about 4-5 hours on me. It's pretty and feminine and I'm looking forward to wearing it more once the weather is a bit warmer. So far I can't stop smelling my wrist!

Soapy Neroli and petitgrain. This is ok but not really so feminine, it's similar to 4711, Neroli portofino...pleasant, clean, happy scent. Unisex. Only neroli plus petitgrain and a little tiny bit of jasmine. No other floral notes that I can perceive.

ughhh this really is the most beautiful orange blossom and I don't even care for orange blossom that much, but it's just that special edit: I've had this for several months now and I'm sorry but it smells like tortilla chips

Wow i was really looking forward to the green edges on this but all I get is a cloying musk vanilla combo that was too strong and then died after like 30min. Will let this sit for a while and hoping it changes.

Drydown smells identical to Penhaligon’s Castile which is a unisex scent. Well-rounded with very high quality accords, as expected for Micallef.

This reminds me if the scent of sweet alyssum flowers with added citrus. Very beautiful. Perfect for spring.

Overhyped. I mean it's OK but there are better. Sintra, au pays neroli blanc intense for example.
