Femme Rochas (for women)

this one reacted badly with my chemistry i think which doesnt often happen. i got a distinct ammonia note after spilling too much of this on myself. luckily, it stayed close to me instead of bothering everyone else as well.

I've loved this scent for many years and never worn it. I got a mini when I was a young girl and fell in love, but it wasn't me at that age. Everytime I passed by a counter I sprayed this in EdT or EdP (better). I love the plum note that smells so refined in the whole composition. For sure it's a gorgeous extremely feminine, elegant and sensual scent. Not overly sexual, nor demure. Unfortunately it's still a little bit old-fashioned and it requires great charme to wear it easily. A gran dame in black lace and big hat can be scented with Femme.

this is one of my mum's favorite.although to my nose it's a classic,I see some differences between this one and the other classics.
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.

This one seems somehow dangerously sensual and sexy...it screams sensuality and seduction and femininity ... or at least that impression i can remember...i have to try it again!

I've tried it now 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 heavy and sensual.

Though i don't see myself wearing this fragrance (at least in the near future), i would be very pleased to smell it on others.

I only like the modern version of Femme in EdP concentration. The EdT gives me a headache and feels much too floral and condensed to me. The EdP rather features the fruit notes. Also the chypre base seems to be stronger. The EdP is harder to come by as a full size but ironically the minis always seem to be the EdP.
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.

Quickly became rancid when applied to my skin. Smelled like something on the clearance table at the local five and dime store. If you simply must try it, I strongly recommend a sample first.

Recently I compared Guerlain Mitsouko & Insolence EDT with Femme EDT. I thought that Insolence EDT has smth in common with Femme while in a mean time I was suggested that Mitsouko should have even more similarities. So I sprayed 3 of them on my hands and started this little experiment. I noticed that Mitsouko and Femme is about the peach scent. But Mitsouko was very strong in benzoin which I believe took all of the peach sweetness while Femme peach was very soft and warmed by leather presence. Mitsouko & Femme didnt look alike to me on the top & heart notes but it came together on the base notes as Mitsouko benzoin notes quiet down and Femme base notes were more about leathery peach to me. What about Insolence EDT? The fruit ripeness and softeness(though there is no peach in the scent) did have a similarity with Femme on heart notes. But that was it. I felt that Femme peach was ripe and just perfectly sweet and not overly sweet while Insolence fruits yet soft but overripen and even more sweeten by vanilla.
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!).

I have it in EDT version, but as soirdelune said it didn't smell right. :o( First 10 minutes I just can't stand.

It has beautiful smell, of sweet chocolate and a marvellous drydown. It's also classic and smells elegant.

Uno dei migliori profumi del secolo. Lo consiglio a donne generose e corpose...
Adoro la nota di cumino che emana... un favoloso chypre...

Never had a chance to try this one. Actually, it shouldn't have cumin, may be you were talking about clove?

This is a perfume I have tried desperately to love, but have never really got along with. I remember loving it as a child, perhaps because an older female relative wore it, then it was reformulated some time in the late 80s/early 90s. After this time, it just didn't smell right on me. Perhaps it is my skin tone, but a strong cumin note was prominent. What I can say is that the non-spray EDT was much prettier than the spray version. Don't know why!
