D&G Feminine by Dolce&Gabbana

eilismaireg

I LOVE 'By' and actually find this something of a By 'Light'. I've never owned it as I have always had a bottle of 'By' but as it's sadly gone I might indulge in some of this and hope for a similar feel. Clean and musky

My cousin wears this and it smells great on her. I'm determined to add this to my collection.

I Had a sample of this for almost a decade in my drawer.I think with me goes like :i try a sample, like it,hide it.Then use it time to time and when it becomes rare ,i decide to find a bottle of it.I think happens to me with D&G mostly.It was for By like this.
Anyway, this perfume is clean, fresh and musky sweet.At first mimosa and water-lily give their freshness.Florals begin to grow after a while.Mostly jasmine,lily and cyclamen ,i do not get any ylang-ylang.
The dry-down is fabulous!!!So musky sweet:they are cashmere woods ,vanilla and sandalwood.The lasting power is very good.I can use it for day or night,summer or winter.Fantastic!!!!!
P.S>It has the purity and softeness of Sicily,the sweetness of The One and the smell of jasmine as in Light Blue.

I liked the musky undertones. One of my favorite classics.

I most I smell is the musk. I love the fragrance. Fresh and clean at first, but when the base comes in I can smell the musk. Since my mother in law uses it, it reminds me of her. I dont't use it anymore!

One of the most unpleasant smells i came across of.Starts of medical/white flowery ,then turns to bitter baby powder.Bought it without testing first..

boarbb

I can't believe the poor comments. It reminds me of Issey Miyake a little bit. The same wearable day perfume. Clean, soft, and unusual. I have to comment on a review though.. lol If it's cheap and smells like old ladies, why did you give it to your 9 year old? That doesn't make sense. I think it's pretty, and much better than the average (and popular) fruity floral overload of perfumes being sold.

Powdery, powdery, powdery. This smells like a stick of Secret Deodorant that's been dipped in baby powder repeatedly. Honestly, there's just so much powder to it that you can't smell anything else. Overkill!

Very odd smelling perfume to me. White flowers with an antiseptic/medicine mixture. The first 15 mins after spraying it on the smell is sickening. About an hour later the medicine smell fades and I smell mostly flowers....although strange smelling flowers....it lasts for hours and hours which is the only nice thing I can say about it. I bought this without testing it first and am really kicking myself about now. Total let down.

bought this perfume without testing it, i must say it smells cheap, and for old ladys! gave mine to my 9 year old, and hate the smell on her! i will stick to dior with much thanks!

Feminine is charismatic and unique with an alluring edge. It is a fine blend of creamy-floral-light-musky scent, pretty, sweet, poised and very sexy.

It opens with heady mimosa: some oddly aged and damp kind of mimosa, which could be quite overwhelming for the first 15 minuts. Then it smoothes down to a creamy bouquet of white flowers accorded with just the right portion of musk and vanilla that lasts. In the end of day it smells almost angelic, really amazing!

The transformation of this scent is like Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair lady": not all that aggreeable at first, just give it a little time to develope, the loveliness in it will gracefully emerge, like a fair lady.

When I tried this fragrance for the first time I was highly impressed, so excited with my find that I somehow managed to spray my face with the tester, (at least my face smelt nice).

D&G Feminine is a soft and clean type of scent which manages to combine a certain sweetness, creating a unique and interesting fragrance. I believe the opening is what people call a white musk.

I don't sense the mandarin orange in this fragrance at all, I get mostly an array of floral notes, which are beautifully blended I might add. D&G Feminine is actually the first 'clean' fragrance that I've been ecstatic over.

The drydown is the one thing that stops me from buying this fragrance. Although still a lovely scent, the musk becomes very dominant and artificial smelling, reminding me of my grandmother's house, (possibly the smell of mothballs). The sweetness completely disappears, and in my opinion, the scent loses its personality.

The lasting power is quite astounding for an EDT, lasting most of the day.

For wearers that don't mind the drydown, D&G Feminine would make an excellent 'go-to fragrance', even a great signature scent.

Smelt this today for the first time after many years. I like its sticky sweetness because its so well balanced by the musk and powdery quality. As its name dictates its definately very feminine but has some weight to it as do all the D & G perfumes. Puts me in a relaxed, confident mood. Again I fear this will be discontinued quite soon:(

nathalieZ

There is a note in taht scent taht doesnt agree with me( the cyclamen I would say)..it is quite unpleasant I will say..
fortunaltely the dry down is quite nice..still not my favorite!

ruxxy

There is something wrong with this scent. Doesn't smell chemical to me, which should be a good thing.

But the attempt of blending in breezy notes with cashmere wood and other oriental notes like ylang-ylan, lily and heliotrope has just failed, in my opinion. It's like when you mix a beautiful oriental scent with a nice delicate floral-aquatic: you obtain something really heady and you also cut the wings of both scents.

A perfume should always please your senses so much that you long for another sniff, but D&G Feminine makes me turn my head away from it. One of my friends wears it and I try not to let her notice that I avoid her close presence, don't want to make her feel embarassed. And it's all because of D&G Feminine...

I think it's one of the most well-created, most beautiful fragrances ever. It's flowery and a bit sweet and the dry-don is soft and powdery, very feminine, really. It makes me feel confident.

allexa27

nezzabel

WOW! I really, really, really love this fragrance, clean, fresh, soft, powdery... for me it's amazing. The drydown is beautiful and deffinetely feminine without being too girly like or sweet.
Good staying power. Great for every season. Classy and beautiful.
For me is the best Dolce&Gabbana scent and it's quite underated.
Truly one of my favourites!

maschin

beautiful fragrance, with a powdery, musky and woody sence, making it very warm and fresh..but doesn't last too long.

Superman9

A soft and clean smelling perfume. I always get compliments when wearing it. Top 10 on my list.

XSX

I'm very surprised that some people consider this a very strong and sickening fragrance...But I guess tastes differ.
To me it smells soapy and clean, nice and mild. Feminine and J Lo Glow have much in common.

elaida_00

it`s a nice perfume..got it from my Bfriend..so i shoul like it very much:)but i am more "floral" person so i find it very heavy..i think is very good during cold winter days..it`s very feminine and makes u very sophisticated..do not try it during summer

golden

Smells exactly like white musk from the body shop.
I mean that in the nicest way possible .(i love white musk)

anne

I also bought without testing, I could hit myself!! But the drydown is totally different. So I kept it, and I am glad!!

kori_an

I bought it without testing it...and I gave it away...I don't like it at all...too musky and bitter for my flavour.

marinadinatata

nice winter smell,, settles like a warm kashmere pullover,, bit boring after some time though...

anne

the first time i spray it on i tought it was very chemical, didn't like it. To my great suprise the drydown is fantastic, love it !

kanoodle7

my favorite go to perfume. The closest I think I'll ever have to a "signature" scent. Very soft and well...feminine.

dolita

perfumista

I have it, and it always tempts me to put it on, but than when I do, it makes me sick. Probably its a chemistry thing>>>
