Vince Camuto Femme

Okay, I took a chance on this about 4 years ago. I have no idea why I blind bought this. The base notes are enough to make me run. Especially my 3 nemesis in perfumes. They are all 3 together patchouli, vanilla, and amber. Even though one of these are in most perfumes if a fragrance is done well I can handle it. When I say this is one of the most beautiful, airy, light patchouli fragrances that I own, I am not kidding. When this dries down I can smell the patchouli (which normally I would hate). It's beautiful and powdery from the Iris (which my skin loves). I layer this with the body lotion and I can smell it on me all day. This is definitely made for spring and summer. Honestly, this can be worn at any time of year. But it's not headache inducing at all. It's not cloying in any way. I live in the deep south with stifling humidity and I can still wear this. I don't get the unisex or masculine notes at all. This is very soft and feminine to me. But I guess that all depends on body chemistry. We all have a different sensory to different smells.

Blind bought based on the comparisons to Chanel Chance. I was skeptical, to be sure. Chance was what I wore to marry my ex-husband, so even though we’re divorced, it’s still a pretty special scent to me. I have a small amount of Chance edt left and I’d say it’s about 90% accurate. Yes, it misses the “Chanel” aspect of Chance (which could be good if you dislike Chanel) but it is still pretty darn close. It’s well blended enough that all I can describe it as is sparkling. It is light, effervescent, but still has a bite. Could be unisex. Edited: I find the dab on bottle to smell more like Chance; from the spray bottle, it is sharper and more citrusy to me. I still like it a lot but I love it from the dab.

Was a blind buy because it was the perfect match of the amazing bottle and it’s color, it’s resemblance to Chanel Chance and being on sale too 😆 I absolutely love it!! It’s a fresh more unisex or even masculine scent. As top and middle notes I feel the citrusy rose, pepper and vetiver the most, after dry down something sweet appears too, but very softly, from the amber and vanilla. It is similar to Chanel Chance edp and in my opinion to Sofia Vergara’s Sofia too, therefor it reminds me a bit of Coco Mademoiselle also. I wore this to work and as bedtime frag, as the longevity and sillage are ok but not overwhelming. I am curious how it will perform in the hotter weather too :)

I don't think this is masculine at all. Smells very feminine and clean. Very fresh smelling upon first spraying, the top notes remind me of a zesty and invigorating fine milled soap. As far as the heart notes, I do not detect any florals, it goes straight to the woodsy dry down on me. I get the vetiver and a slight musk, but no patchouli. I love the top notes, but the bottom notes is what reels me in and makes me swoon. It's just that clean, woodsy, earthy, green smell. In some ways, it reminds me of Versace Versense in the dry down. If you like scents with that wood/earthy vibe, you'll like this one.

Honestly I love this. Finally got a bottle today. I smell the fresh citrus and vetiver first with a hint of spice. I love pink pepper. I agree this reminds me of JC Flash but this is citrus fresh instead of floral. I really like both but mmm this is so wonderful to my nose. On me, the drydown is slightly floral with sweet citrus and musk. I'll be wearing this a lot this coming spring and summer. Yes it is a bit unisex at first but on me the drydown is very feminine. Beautiful.

I bought this fragrance for my mother, after tirelessly trying almost everything in Ulta to try and find that perfect scent. I wanted something that was not too flowery, but also fresh and a little bold. This was it! I recently found it for 29.99 at my local Marshalls and had to buy one for myself, since I loved it so much! This is a great fragrance for any season and one that I would definitely buy again.

A pink pepper-forward blast of citrus, then beautifully woody & patchouli. Becomes a touch muskier, but the citrus and patchouli linger and take centerstage. Not a major projector, but definitely sticks to you and leaves an impression should someone lean in close to you to catch a whiff. I get the similarity to Chanel Chance, but that one's opening is much fruitier. Best for warm or hot weather.

This is a brisk citrus. The musk makes a strong apprearance. This great for the summer months...however I will wear it year round. Some may think it might border on being a bit masculine, but not to me at all. This one of my 'go to' fragrances when I just cannot decide what to wear. It is clean and fresh.

I love this perfume!I got a great deal on a 1.7 ounce for $20 at Marshall's. It is very fresh and aquatic. It has a little musk, but doesn't seem manly at all to me. A very safe scent for everyday use. I just wish it were longer lasting.

Call me crazy but I smell lavender

I don't think this smells much like a Chanel fragrance, but there is a similar vibe. It has a fresh feminine brightness that many more modern Chanels have, along with some interesting tamed patchouli in the base. To me this is a girly freshie that is an easy reach, and will certainly be one of my favorite cheapies going forward. There's nothing groundbreaking about it, but it smells like a pleasant, pretty perfume with the right amount of fresh zing and the right amount of traditional perfumery. I could see this being a good gift as well, especially for someone new to fragrance or someone who just wants to wear something nice all the time without having to put in much effort. It smells at once approachable and chic, so this would be an obvious crowd pleaser. I am very pleasantly surprised by this one and only picked it up because I bought a Vince Camto handbag recently and my curiosity was piqued. Call it a happy coincidence that the fragrance is super nice! Editing 9/3/2024 to add: Today it was very warm, and when I was in my car I started getting whiffs of a very pretty, sophisticated patchouli scent, reminiscent of Chanel and other "pretty" patch blends. I realized it was Femme! I definitely see a little bit more of the Chanel comparisons, particularly Chance EDT now since Femme uses either the same or a very similar patchouli note. If you think you don't like patchouli or just plain love Chanel fragrances and don't want to spend the money, try Femme. It is classy, smells very fancy, has a lovely bottle, great performance, and the price is amazing. I think a lot of outsiders would be shocked to find out this isn't a $150 designer perfume. As soon as my decant is used up I am getting the largest FB I can.

You have to like Pink Pepper with this one. It sticks around for the first hour. It's done well with the vetiver, patchouli and rose. It has depth, but is still fine for the heat. The patchouli allows this one to stay for around 8 hours, then it's a skin scent. Comparisons: Chanel Chance EDT is more nuanced within it's florals, and there is an element of a bright fruitiness. Chance EDP is also more nuanced, but the biggest difference is the depth. Chance EDP is more intense . That being said, the scent trail that Femme leaves isn't going to be noticeably different to most people. As for the Mademoiselle comparison, it's been too long for me to compare this to the EDT. But Mademoiselle EDP is what I initially thought of when I tried this on. I personally feel overpowered by Mademoiselle EDP, despite enjoying and owning the Intense and L'eau Privee versions. So this Vince Camuto may be my perfect Mademoiselle haha It's lighter, there is zero twinges of a headache when I wear it, yet it has that patchouli floral scent that I wanted to love in Mademoiselle EDP. Bottom line, if you have the Chanels, this doesn't offer anything "extra" or different, other than the personal preference mentioned above. But if you've wanted Chance or Coco Mademoiselle, but only want to spend around $18, this is amazing! In fact, I'd choose this over one of the prolific Chanel fakes if second hand were my only options.

I quite like this, I would describe it as a cross between Light Blue and Coco Mademoiselle.It starts off similar to Light Blue and then as it dries down the citrusy notes fade and it becomes more of a clean floral. It's not soapy but definitely a clean floral. This is an incredibly easy fragrance to wear, if you're not in the mood to make a statement with your perfume then this is definitely a great go-to. Also really great for when it's hot out, there's nothing that should turn cloying if you sweat. I don't find it to be loud either, the silage seemed to stay close to me so I don't see how it would put anyone in the car with you off. Different chemistry I guess. Just a nice, clean citrus musk in an absolutely gorgeous could-have-paid $300 bottle but didn't have to. I'm actually not sure why anyone wouldn't like it, if nothing else it looks beautiful sitting on your dresser. Vince makes some gorgeous bottles (and shoes, thank you!).

I received a sample of this. I smelled the citrus right away and then vetiver. If you like an femme fragrance this probably won't float your boat. The vetiver makes it darkish and masculine, I smell a flash of iris but it is soon overwhelmed by the vetiver. To me this dries down almost right away. I doubt I would wear it. Update: I received it as a gift and wore it a few times to see if I could learn to like it......surprisingly I love it!!!! After wearing it several times I can smell the femme thing they were going for in it. Very classic and not in your face sweet femme. It could have more longevity and the top notes could last longer. It is very office safe.

Blind buy because of a clearance sale on a gift set with a pretty bag and a pretty bottle. I am surprised how much I like it. I figured it would be a cheap celebrity style fragrance, but it has some subtle sweetness in there with a hint of a clean summer day. It is a clean, but not quite soapy fragrance on me. The longevity isn't great, but it is a fun sunshine fresh kind of fragrance. I do agree, however, that the rollerball smells different than the spray. I do not like the rollerball at all and have already given it away.

I sampled this today and the notes that jump out when I wear it are the citrus, vetiver, pink pepper, and musk. It does have a unisex vibe as the other users have mentioned. Not sure why it's called Femme though when it smells very unisex/almost masculine. I would consider buying a small bottle of this. It is fresh and lightweight but the pink pepper makes it a little more interesting. However, the sillage is slightly low and it does fade somewhat quickly. It fading fast is the only real problem I have with it.

Love this scent, especially for warmer weather. Nice fallback option when you're looking for a lowkey scent. Not at all overbearing, and a nice distinction from the fruitchouli scents you smell everywhere now. Very citrusy, in a sophisticated, elegant way, and it's pretty cheap too, so a win-win. My only complaint is the longevity is poor, maybe about 3 hours on me before it becomes a skin scent (very creamy)--but for the price I don't mind reapplying.

very pretty sweet soft feminine floral scent.........the notes say citrus & pink pepper but i dont get those at all............i get all the middle notes especially iris...........as far as the dry down i would say on me vanilla stands out more than the other dry down notes ............ this is a shy soft spoken floral scent.............great price on the discount sites too :)

When i first spray this on my both wrists, I only smell the patchouli note. I think it needs a second chance so i decided to spray it again, and now it lasts longer than the first time. This parfume reminds me to Perry Ellis Love, the only difference is Vince Camuto Femme on my skin smells slightly sharper, i think it's because of my body chemistry..

This does remind me of Jimmy Choo's Flash quite a bit. But honestly, for the price I would not go for it. If you do however, dig this scent, check it out on eBay because someone is selling a tester for $42.50 USD.
