... She has just opened her eyes to a new day, laid comfortably in your bed. Her eyes find you through the remains of the dream, as you prepare her Masala tea. She smiles. Slightly sad, but so warm... The sun rays are playing in the thick snow on the window sill, peeking through the carnations in a wooden vase...

Femme (Edt) makes me feel the same thing i felt with Dior Poison. The first 5 minutes, you're going to hate this fragrance very deeply, cuz is like smelling a strong eucalyptus, simply unbearable.
But Femme is a complex fragrance, and has the ability to grow on your skin and turning into something softer. Then you'll think it's not so bad after all..and maybe you'll probably very pleased with the scent..
For me Femme is only Leather+Cinnamon+Vanilla and a lot's of strong woods..these notes completely outshines the rest.. i detect some citrus to..
I like the soft, warm, and pleasent woody smell of Femme. Just like Poison, Femme is love and hate in one bottle, and it's not a fragrance for everyone but worth to try it.

Nonetheless, FEMME is gorgeous. I love the logical structure of the notes, with all of the florals bundled together, introduced by fruits and wood and buttressed by chypre elements.
FEMME has great sillage and is extremely longlasting, but it softens over the course of the day, leaving a light chypre layer behind, which is a nice way to recover from the big opening during which I find myself constantly remarking to myself how beautiful this fragrance is. It's really not possible to wear FEMME without being aware that it's there. Not an everyday perfume, FEMME is well-suited for occasional cold wintry nights...
The bottle is beautiful, too.


Eventually the fruitiness dries down a bit and I get something I can wear more easily which is the floral chypre part of the scent!
The florals are lovely in this and rather well blended, the carnation and jasmine stand out a bit on me, but the other florals are hearder to tease out individually.
My favorite part of Femme is the very end, which lasts quite a while on me. The patchouli and amber are truly secondary players in this composition. Benzoin resin is the delicious star! In fact I'm not aware of a scent that does benzoin better than Femme or more than Femme. The oakmoss brightens it ever so slightly, but the basenotes remain warm and sultry.
For me, Femme is exquisitely and almost embarrasingly beautiful in its opening, and yes the opening is a big one. I would not wear this one anywhere that I would wish to be unnoticed. It is an attention getter.

The Femme Rochas I bought for my birthday is just the thing on that score. It's like the original purple scent, eau de femme fatale -- rich, piercing, vulvic.


It opens dark, rich, and ambery, with dark plum notes. It gives way to a spicy heart, where I smell roses and cumin, which gives it a spicy, but dry and woody tone. Coriander appears, and I detect oakmoss in the composition as well. The drydown comprises of woody and musky notes.
This is a sensual scent. I think those who want to project a dark mystery about them, I think they would find Femme Rochas the perfect scent to convey that image.



first of all I really get plum note,which is a bit sour and gourmand at the same time and that's why I enjoy the first notes(though still it's not my cup of tea)
after then minutes,the fruity notes disappear and it becomes bitter sweet and warmer.to me it smells like coconut mixed with ylang-ylang.I think it gets some hints of bitterness from oakmoss.
the best part about it is the plum notes.that's all.

I've tried it one more time and unfortunately, it has this particular old-fashioned note, that I was afraid to smell. The fragrance is still very appealing to me being extremely sensual.
Though I don't see myself wearing this fragrance (at least in the near future), I would be very pleased to smell this aroma on others.

I find the modern version to be quite true to the vintage formula, which seemed a bit mustier and of course didn´t have the famous cumin note.
If you like rich, sensual, full bodied perfumes then Femme will be worth a try.

Anyhow, it may sound weird but the best balance between those 3 fragrances was Femme. I felt an intense peach and leather accord and the perfume is just right in every step while Guerlain Mitsouko on top & heart notes was very strong in benzoin note which is nice masculine note to me but yet a bit overtaking of a full fragrance. Insolence is seriously rippen and sweet fruits with vanilla and I am missing a bit of a balance with it. (I think they did right with Insolence EDP though!).



Adoro la nota di cumino che emana... un favoloso chypre...
