Femme Absolue

Omy goodness!!!! This is beautiful!!! The top notes are so juicy along with a teensy teensy rose. Then it dries to a wonderful soft smell. I think the cassis is what lingers at the end on me. I am so surprised by this scent as I can't really handle French style scents like Dior, Chanel they just are too much for me personally... But Femme Absolue is amazing!!!! I have been wearing this every day now and loving it. Soft, feminine, just perfect!

I recently bought this perfume from HSN based on the notes. I absolutely love it! I do not have Vicky Tiel's other perfumes, but I sure love this one. It is soft and feminine. Lizzyshreds described it perfectly. I am glad I purchased this.

Wow!! What a beautiful perfume! Love at first sniff. I couldnt believe it was only like $12!!

I picked this up because it was incredibly inexpensive and worth a shot. I’ve had it for a couple of years and didn’t care for it at first. Now that it has sat for a while, it did change a bit. It’s soft and pretty, I get a bit of a dewy rose but don't pick up much jasmine or fruity notes. I would think there’s violet or freesia in this but it’s not listed. I do get the sandalwood and patchouli but I really don’t get any vanilla. I can see that some find it similar to the heavenly scent from VS. I don’t love that scent, it’s a bit too ladylike for me. 🤣 overall, it isn’t a scent profile that is my personal taste, however, after it’s been sitting for a while, it isn’t bad if you like this style of fragrance. It’s incredibly affordable and pretty for the price. Would be a nice subtle fragrance for work or daytime. It wears softly, without much projection, especially for an absolue . It could be an easy reach inoffensive scent if you like it. I’ll probably pass mine on, but I would still consider this worth the price I paid.

I too just received this perfume from HSN. It got good reviews there AND here and it came with a really pretty lilac colored tote bag at a sale price, so I figured why not! Oh boy... This has got to be one of the cheapest fragrances that I have ever smelled. I am so confused, I honestly don't understand the good reviews unless it's my body chemistry but I have never smelled such a full on alcohol smell unless I bought a very cheap perfume, like a knockoff. I've been a member of a perfume subscription service for a while now and I can REALLY tell the difference between this and the high end perfumes that I get there. Maybe I'm spoiled?? My husband even said it had a lingering "old lady" odor about it. That it was brash. There's nothing soft about this perfume on me. I'd be willing to trade for something else rather than spend the money to return it. If anyone has an offer PM me :)
