Femme Noir

I got my first compliment 5 minutes in. I found it on the $20 shelf at SDM and tried a spray from an open box. The cashier complimented me saying I smelled really good. This has been available a few times I've noticed at SDM. I highly recommend it if you like sweet scents. It's very sweet, fruity more than floral. For the price it's exceptional. The brand website says it sells for $80 but you can find it for $20 or under. Since there's not much here yet on this one, according to the jeanmarcparis.com site: Mysterious. Feminine. Sophisticated. Delicious red strawberries drizzled with citrus entice with gorgeous desire. Mysterious, rare black orchid layered with romantic pink sweet rose reveals striking, feminine sensuality. French vanilla and vetivert leave a sophisticated, magnetic trail, keeping the intrigue alive. FRAGRANCE TYPE: Floriental TOP: Red Strawberries, Citrus MIDDLE: Black Orchid, Patchouli, Pink Sweet HEART: French Vanilla, Vetivert, Sandalwood

I picked this baby up at Burlington for $9.99. After seeing jean marc paris perfumes around I figured they were cheap no namers. I did a little digging and realized these are supposedly the rebrand for Michael Germain, which if you look online his perfumes have good reviews and usually go for about $60 where I live. Upon first spray I thought this smelled sweet and cheap as another reviewer mentioned. I put it back in the box and planned to return it. I decided to try it on my skin the next day and I'm glad I did. Even though the first spray is very sweet and almost cheap smelling, the dry-down is a gorgeous delicate patchouli and berry scent on my skin. To me this smells like a very light version of la vie est belle or sofia vergara Love. This is quite lovely so if you see this out, snag it and give it a shot. Let the perfume develop on your skin.

YUM. Raspberry patchouli mouthwatering sweet-spicy. In the style of popular fruitchoulies like the great review below states, and just a fun, berry-vanilla, and wow, even something a little buttery smelling too. Also this one doesn't do anything weird on my skin like a few others have; it just gets more snuggly and soft in dry-down. I'd say the patchouli is tame here. This is the best sweet fruity patchouli scent I've tried in a while. Longevity 4-5 hrs. Lovers of LVEB, Flowerbomb, Jimmy Choo, etc...grab this at Ross. Also, I have another Michel Germaine perfume, Tattoo, which I love, but my bottle of Femme Noir says Jean Marc Paris.

smells really good fora cheapie smells fruity and creamy, a little floral with light musk very sensual, hence "noir" in the title very addictive, pulls you in for another wiff the fruit in here is dark, like black berries or black currant or cassis or something like that the floral is light, probably orchids reminds me of vs noir tease, the original one, but femme noir smells better to me only thing... it doesn't project or last long. But for the price you can spray as much as you like!

I just bought this at tj maxx for a steal of $9.99 a 3.4 oz bottle!! Holy crap this smells so GOOD. My box looks the same, but the name on the bottom is Jean Marc Paris. it smells a lot like Sofia by Sofia Vergara, and the bottle looks similar to a Versace bottle. I Love this stuff. I'm gonna buy a backup!!!
