Just as its name suggests, this is a very modern, provocative and sexy fragrance. This is the first fragrance of the young English brand FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom). This floral, oriental fragrance is locked in an ultramodern bottle. The centre of composition is made of sandalwood, jasmine and Barringtonia flower from Madagascar with its intense, sensual scent. The new, modern harmony of aquatic iris and citrus is in the top. The heart is sensual, sexy and provocative thanks to rich intense bouquet of Barringtonia, peony, violet and jasmine. The base is warm and inviting: sandalwood, cedar, amber and vanilla. The design of the bottle made of glass and metal suggests the modern character of the fragrance. The perfume was created in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Geza Schoen.
I got nothing on the beginning. But wait for half an hour. ..On my skin, it became a very sexy scent. Cheap and usefull. . that's way I like this one! :)
I'm not overly keen on this perfume because it's quite plain smelling, however if you are looking for an out of the shower light/fresh smelling fragrance then this could be good for you.
At first, this one smells strong and borders on over-synthetic. I can definitely pick up the Rose, Sandalwood, and Violet. Unfortunately, they don't seem to mingle well on my skin initially. Perhaps it will reveal something better during drydown...
EDIT: Unfortunately, it hasn't changed much in the last few hours. Still an odd powdery synthetic flower smell on my skin. Glad it works for others, just not my cup of tea.
This one is on sale at my local drugstore, and I was tempted to buy it after spritzing it on, but I'm glad I didn't. I really like the top notes, as others have said its a pretty generic floral, but I like it and it smelled good on me....but the dry-down...yeesh...waaay too musky for my taste (not a fan of musk), and just really synthetic, heavy and sort of headache-inducing. I also thought the bottle was really tacky and cheap looking (although the name doesn't bother me, I think its kind of cheeky)
Light and floral with a slight fruity sweetness to it that's not overpowering or overly noticeable. It reminds me of that smell in the air after light summer rain but not aquatic at all.
I can see this being a very pleasant spring time or light everyday scent, doesn't last very long though. I don't see myself wearing it often if at all but it is definitely a pretty scent.
light and sweet. not lasting. my sister likes it.
I love this lightly scented oriental floral. It has a slightly sweet, warm, musky drydown....I just wish that it had the lasting power that has been mentioned by several other reviewers. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long on my skin or project very well. But for such a reasonable price I will just reapply often and apply it heavily. If you hate this scent stay clear of me!!! :) I bought this in the gift set which had the Edt along with the shimmer lotion. I don't care for the shimmer lotion at all. It has WAY too much gold colored shimmer for me. I will definitely be sure to purchase the regular gift set in the future.
When I first put this on (some months ago), it wasn't totally unpleasant. I wore it a couple more times and then it started to get on my nerves! I can't define any notes or anything (maybe the peony and cedar notes?), but there's that annoying mens perfume smell in this one, and it just smells very synthetic and cheap on me. I was hoping this would be a nice, summer-type fragrance, but unfortunately, it's not for me! Longevity was great, and that didn't really help! I'm going to be corny and say: "FCUK this!"
I tried this during my summer perfume shops perusal and I must say I was not expecting anything extraordinary to happen, yet I was left with a very lovely white flowers and blonde woods comfortable sensation. It has very good staying power and I see it as an everyday work scent. It is really worth a try, as it is much better than any "pure" or "white" or "sheer" big fragrances denomination of other well known perfume houses.
this is nothing that makes me go WOW, and it's definitely not my type of fragrance (i lean towards more girly-girl, young, sweet scents.. think britney spears fantasy) but this is very sophisticated, without smelling "old". it's actually pretty sexy in a low-key way. slightly powdery, slightly warm, slightly spicy.. nothing over the top in this one. very understated, but still makes a statement. the type of woman i see wearing this has long, sleek ultra light blonde hair or super dark brown hair, wearing a sexy business outfit...which is the total opposite of me (whomp..) very attractive fragrance, just not me.
i dint fall in love with at first, but then as it started to settle on my skin i kinda liked it, but i do not smel rose at all, and sandalwood is too strong, its lasting power is good on me.
it grows in when i step out of house.
i dont think its floral, its rather woodsy cuz of the extra sandalwood effect, which i dont like.
overall i would say its an average frangrance, it can be used on daily basis, its lasting power is really good, base notes smell nice, but i wont repeat it cuz i like fruity, citrus fresh and marine frangrances, miami glow and nina ricci's premier jour are my fav
So I'm feeling compelled to cut this scent some slack. First impression was rather "meh". The name, I'm not even going to go into that; what a failure. The bottle, meh. The description, meh.
But the scent. Oh Em Gee. This honestly does not happen very often for me, ESPECIALLY when I'm so unimpressed by the above mentioned aspects. I can safely say that this was love at first whiff.
Yes, I get the soap, yes I get the powder, but I am absolutely adoring the package it comes in: To be able to wrap "soapy" and "clean" into a cocoon of warmth and sensuality really shows exceptional abilities on behalf of the creator and I am very much appreciating that.
Let's be honest, "clean and soapy" generally constitutes the opposite end of the spectrum compared to "warm and sensual", correct? Well, "fcuk her fragrance" combines the two and does it well. Contrary to many other reviews here, I see this as being a nighttime scent for the days inbetween autumn and winter - it feels like that favorite blanket or throw you love to snuggle up in on the couch at night, clean and still warm straight out of the dryer. Lovely through and through.
I find their scents rather boring. And although they market their name as an abbrevation of a longer name, of course everyone thinks of something else and IMO that's intentional. The name of the scent fits into that play too. I don't like that.
I really like this one. It's not something i would wear all the time but it has it's time and place. Not sure where the oriental comes in though. To me it's just a lovely, easy wearing floral scent. I've worn to it work and had compliments.
OK, I just have to laugh out loud when I read posts like: "the name sucks", "what a terrible name/bottle", "tacky name", "clinical thermometer" etc. Sheesh, give me a break. The name FCUK is not offensive although, obviously, it often does require "translation".
FCUK stands for French Connection UK, and not "that word". It says it all right in the description!
FCUK is actually quite a decent brand, and I even have a couple of their tees a jeans. I am not the least surprised they followed with fragrances.
As for the fragrance itself - clean, unobtrusive, flowery. Nice light musky drydown. OK for the office. And I do like the metro-chic bottle...
It's a pleasant low-key floral that's worth trying if you don't mind the fact that it's easy to find, inexpensive and unlikely to bother anyone around you. Maybe no-one will come running up to you with flowers but they're also likely to be thinking how pleasant you smell.
If you like the fragrance but dislike the name and someone asks what you're wearing, you could say French Connection (I learnt that from another reviewer here).
I don't know if I'll ever buy it or not. But I've slowly learnt not to judge a fragrance by it's packaging, marketing and price.
Nothing special about the scent of this perfume, it is rather ordinary. I find it to be a very inoffensive scent. My mother recenty had lung cancer and went through chemo and radiation. I like this scent because it is something I can wear around her and it doesn't bother her. Although it is a soft scent, it is still noticable, and it has very good lasting power, which is very rare in softer scents.
Another nondescript, sweetish fruity-floral, but a reasonably nice and inoffensive one. It starts out with peaches and generic flowers, with a light dose of something that’s a little softer than the standard drugstore woody-musky base, although similar. I know fruit isn’t listed in the notes, but I smell it.
The scent stays linear, with moderate sillage, hanging on for quite a long time, probably much longer than it needs to. However, I do have to say that I like the soft, musky drydown at the end. If you’re looking for something interesting and unusual, this is not it. However, if you’re looking for a cheap, pleasant, conventional scent with all-day lasting power, this might be a good choice if you don't mind fielding questions about the name of what you're wearing.
To me it smells like acetone drenched lilac & is migraine inducing.
Connect & Three are better.
This scent reminds me of a modern day city scene. People sashaying down the street in skin tight jeans, jimmy choos, tumbling in and out of metros, pretty college girls crossing the road with their laughter trailing behind. I love how sexy and understated this perfume is. It's unique for sure, the sandalwood note is great..really softens the whole scent. I find it to be a very classy scent. The onrush of violets and jasmine really give it a sweet feminine touch. I love to wear this when going for a movie or lunch. It lasts all day. A great smelling scent by Fcuk...the name is really clever too!!! I'm not too keen on the bottle though....its get a 4.5/5 from me!
take CK one, take out all fruits and spices, add peony and you have FCUK Her. sooo booring scent.
Pleasant, but as mentioned before by others, it isn't overly special. Easy & inoffensive... smelling. Seriously though, I think I might be in the minority in that a silly play on words doesn't bother me at all. The most offensive part of the name is that the fragrance certainly doesn't evoke such strong imagery or urges -- a bit of a mislabel I'm afraid, but certainly not a terrible perfume. If you have the need for something light, easy to wear, and not too cloying (and you have $17 to spend at TJ Maxx), then this might not be a bad fragrance to consider.
Ok...I like the scent to wear to bed at night because it is a soft powdery, fresh scent. The bottle is the ugliest plastic design I have seen for a woman's perfume. It is also hard to spray if you have small hands. The price was decent at TJ Maxx for 3.4 Oz. at $17.
the add is cute, in a silly way...
the name is silly, all the way!
the scent doesnt stay with you all day...
but its light, fresh and floral,
and its worth the $15 i pay!
:) :) :) :)
Generic.
Opens with a big blast of citrus and ALCOHOL -- I'm dabbing from a sample vial, and I can only imagine the alcohol would be even stronger if sprayed. Then it settles down to a warm, sweetish floralish scent, with maybe ... jasmine? and some other stuff? Then warm vanilla, bright woody amber, and a little bit of spice. It's not too heady or screechy at all, like some florals, and it's not excessively sweet.
It smells a lot like Yves Rocher Voile d'Ambre to me, except that V d'A is a little on the overly sweet side for me and this isn't. But cheaper and thinner -- and V d'A lasts all day, while this is already on its way out after a few hours. Still, FCUK Her is a perfectly nice office/inoffensive scent that goes practically for free at online discounters. I wouldn't mind owning a bottle if I didn't already have Voile d'Ambre, it didn't open with so much alcohol, and the name and bottle weren't so tacky.
I was burdened with this sample by a well-meaning ebay seller as a gift with purchase. FCUK Her smells like a nice supermarket shower gel with all the banality this implies. The only emotion this may arouse would be a mild vexation that you wasted valuable skin real estate sampling this instead of one of the other 50 samples lurking in your closet.
I love FCUK clothing line but not so much with the fragrance. I wasn't even excited when I receive this sample. Anyway, this FCUK for Her starts out very strong with alcohol; almost like straight up cheap vodka. Then all I can smell is flowers! A lot of flowers with jasmine being the strongest. As soon as I start to feel suffocated, the flowers tone down into just rose, a tad sweet vanilla, and clean musk. I like this combo! But yes, there is something cheap about it. At the end, it's a nice inoffensive scent that is good for everyday.
I don't like it at all...it smells like some wine or something sweet and sour.
Given as a gift, it doesn't last long on the skin, can spray loads and it doesn't stay. I really liked it at first, but it's so one dimensional and doesn't last I've gone off. Light, clean, nothing special.
This was a nice fragrance. I have smelled the mens one and I think it stinks so I wasn't excited to try this, but its alright. Not fantastic, but ok. Its basically a very soft floral, with slightly woody, powdery, lightly spiced undertones. I smell the sandalwood pretty soon, even though its a base note. Actually the top is like aquatic floral, but the base notes are there pretty much from the start, lingering along in the background, giving the light scent some nice depth. I don't know if I'd buy this for myself but if a bottle found its way to me, I'd wear it.
It's a work-safe fragrance. Not intimidating, fresh and feminine. Nothing extra-ordinaire. Just plain and safe.
Rather average smelling... ok for everyday use although not very long-lasting at all even w/ the lotion...
This is a good Fcuking Perfume
Tangy Sweet Tarty Fuity Surprise
very yummy and it does smell like shampoo very Youthful Edgy
Not your Usual Fragrance.
I just received a sample of this and I actually like it. It is very light, and smells clean. I think it could be worn everyday without offending anyone, and my boyfriend really likes it. I think quite a few people are saying they dislike it just because of the name, the same way they do with celebrity scents. If I wore this and someone asks me what it was, I would just say French Connection. I like it
It is indeed shampoo!
Fcuk Hair!
At least it doesn't smell bad, even if it smells like almost nothing.....
To my nose, this is a floral-oriental that is musky-clean, slightly spicy and slightly masculine. I usually steer away from spicy scents but this one won me over. I would not describe this as sweet or fruity at all. It warms on the skin very nicely. For an EDT, it's reasonably long lasting too. I would say that it's a modern, casual, pleasant scent for everyday. Very wearable.
UPDATE: Got sick of the scent after a while. Smelled like chemicals after a while.
love the fragrance but the name .......
I really do like this scent but the play on the letters leaves something to be desired-Im dyslexic so when I first saw this stuff I was gapping with my mouth wide open! WHAT ON EARTH DID THEY NAME THIS???? It smells very pretty and I love the dry down too. This is very floral to me, I don't detect the Oriental part of it at all. I really like this though.
Tacky name, tacky smell. Smells just like cheap shampoo. The ladies in my house and I were unanimous in disliking this. I suppose the only thing good is that it smells like sham-poo and not real-poo.
I had this perfume but found it very disappointing. It smelt quite synthetic, strong and almost clinical and I just couldn't find anything much to like about it at all. I used it once and then gave my 100ml bottle away!
i personally love it. it stays on for such a long time on me, and i have gotten many many compliments. its amazing- and smells wonderfully. i can def. keep wearing it out.
Light flowery watery nothing, ok if you want to smell like you just got out of the shower.
it was given to me as a gift, i tried so hard to like it, it was too airy even empty for my taste. nothing really special about it. i cannot understand why its listed in the oriental category though!
i liked the hand cream just for the tiny sparkles it left on my skin.
So light and barely noticable.I wouldn't purchase this.
Certainly not ground breaking in the history of perfume, but still a nice every day scent for teens-early 20's. Office friendly and not too common. It's not a fruity floral at least...
I have to agree that this scent is very clean and soapy smelling, but it's a nice scent for the office, and before or after the gym kind-of-thing. I do smell the peony, jasmine, violet, sandalwood, and also the cedar and amber, which gives the oriental feel to it. I like the bottle, but I'm not fond of how it sprays out. But overall, this fragrance is quite nice, and in my opinion, deserves better credit than what it is given. :-)
this is one that i bought a sample of to try. i think the nearly naughty name won me over. it's nice and super powdery. i didnt get a soapy feeling like many of the other reviewers, and there was no real warmth for me either. worth trying if you like powdery scents.
I was at the store,when the seller let me sniff some perfumed papers of new perfumes.I found this one and miracle summer by lancome better among about 15 papers.
that was the only time I smell it,so I hardly remember the smelling,but it was good,better than most of the reviews here.
but when I asked the name and he showed me the bottle,I realized I wouldn't buy it.the bottle is really cheap,covered with creamy plastic in the worst way possible!
FCUK is a well known brand,but not in perfumes.besides it's possible to miss-read it badly easily!
It is a musky scent, the thing is either you are sensitive to musk or not. I know that musk is 'black hole' for some people's smelling. There is some soft floral spraying on the surface but the core is musk, musk, musk... that's why I couldn't wear it. I think the people, who say it is simple, sweet and fresh, just don't react to its harsh musky claws. It is not for nothing that its slogan is "a scent to bed with your man".
Personally, being very sensitive to strong musky notes, I gave a bottle to my mum. She says its shape reminds her of a telephone set. :)
P.S. (from November 2011) It juse dawned on me that the author is Geza Schoen. It's quite in the vein of his escentric molecules - those casual fcuk wonders.
I must be the minority for this scent, I really like this scent for dark fall nights. The jasmine, sandalwood, and a bit of citrus come out with my pH. I find it perfect for some moments, but I could not wear it everyday.
I agree with most of the reviews on this fragrance, it is definitely a strong soapy scent. Not one that I would personally purchase, but nice enough as a scent used to freshen up after a run or straight after a shower.
I probably should give it a second try or keep it longer on my skin, but I could not. It was very harsh and not at all what I expected.
reminds me of soap but in a nice way,CLEAN.
An every day parfume. Nothing special but still good. Makes you fell fresh. You don't feel sad when there's nothing left in the bottle.
Reminds me of "Laura"(Laura Biagiotti).
this one looks very very very ugly! :))) just like a clinical thermometer!!! uhhh....
sweet, labile, not surprising.
I was thinking about something more original.
It is actually quite lovely. At first i thought it smelled so-so, but the drydown was much better.
