Feerie Rubis

I blind bought this because the original is sold out pretty much everywhere and it was such a good deal. The bottle is gorgeous and high quality, definitely something that is shelf-worthy even if empty. While I don't understand a lot of the hate, there are quite a few points I agree with. Primarily what I get out of this scent top notes is a lot of pink pepper, some delicate floral and woodiness. I do not get any sweetness or fruit until it dries down about an hour later and I pick up more of the middle and bottom notes (peony, tonka bean and peach do stand out a bit once warmed up by the skin). The scent does seem to fade quickly and has very small sillage. I am not disappointed because I never even smelled the original, so I have no other VC&A perfumes to compare to. I disagree with some users who say this smells cheap -- perhaps my palette is not as trained as theirs so I am easily pleased but I feel this is a more complex juice than simple body sprays you would find at Bath & Body. I would say it is at least worth the price (I paid about $30 for a brand new 3 oz tester). I enjoy the scent, it is season/office friendly and the bottle is gorgeous, definitely worth keeping as decoration once the perfume is all used up.

Fantastic smell! Red currants, raspberry, a dash of red pepper, sweet flowers and powder! And the leechi in the background. Genius! Its strong, but not smoldering. Its tasteful, passionate, classy and fun! The bad reviews clearly didnt have the right skin chemistry. J'adore! J'adore! It may even be better than the OG Féerie, which i find a little too heavy on the mandarin. But yeah, as far as flankers go, this definitely is a whole different spin on Féerie. She's simply a different fearie, fuzzy, red, sweet, stylish and passionate. Best blind buy ever!

Feerie Rubis is gorgeous! Delicious red fruits, cedar & sandlewood really stand out then the florals start to come out from mid to dry down. Very creamy & luxurious. Under rated in my honest opinion. Glad I ignored all the bad reviews

I have mixed impressions when it comes to Feerie Rubis. It has something in common with the original, night blue Feerie, but it's different and kind of worse because of its sillage. There's something slightly chemical in here and it was in the blue Feerie bottle too. The whole impression of Rubis is: 'hard to describe'. Powdery and soapy, slightly chemical, mysterious. The blue Feerie had a touch of fireworks in my imagination and this one has something similar too, in heart notes, maybe red smoke, hard to describe really as I've already said. Base notes are warm, like there was amber in it but I don't see it listed - they show an oriental touch. The fragrance stays close to skin. Suitable for spring, summer, autumn. I can recognize litchi, iris, red currant, pepper, raspberry, musk, tonka bean. The bottle is designed more beautifully than the fragrance that can be simply too light for many, somehow forgettable in this obviousness of soapy fruit-floral juice and light & not obvious touch altogether. All in all I like it, it kind of grows on me. I guess I won't be the biggest fan, but there's more to the fragrance than meets the eye at first.

Féerie Rubis is essentially a gentle mixture of red berries, peony and white musk. The berries here is not overly sharp nor tart. Together with peony, it smells like a sort of jelly or shampoo, very soft and pleasant. The white musk becomes more prominent with time, which renders the fragrance slightly powdery and very clean as well. The sillage is soft and the longevity is around 9 hours. I don't dislike Féerie Rubis, it's not overly sweet or synthetic, but it's not very natural, either. It lacks a certain zing, which fails to impress me. As a fruity floral, it's relatively demure and safe for various occasion. But I think there are also other more interesting choices out there as well.
