I got this as a present at my job’s Christmas gift exchange and I fell in love. It’s floral and sweet but isn’t overpowering, which is great for sensitive gals like me who usually get headaches from strong perfume. The bottle is pretty enough to leave out on my vanity and at first glance looks like my more expensive perfumes. However, here’s the rub I have with this perfume. While it’s a gorgeous scent that fades rather beautifully into a warm and cozy, light scent, it does not last at all. I spray this on the insides of my elbows, wrists, behind the ears, decolletage, and backs of my knees in the morning, around 8 am, and by noon the scent is almost all but gone and by evening it’s like i never put any perfume on at all, the only scent left is what has rubbed off my wrists onto my watch band.
Now, I understand, you get what you pay for and for the price it really is a very nice scent, I just really wish it had more staying power than it has. I will definitely be looking for a more high-end alternative that will last longer. However, I do think in the meantime I will buy another bottle when this one runs out and fill a little travel roller ball or something to keep with me when the scent inevitably fades in the afternoon.

I like this perfume for spring. It smells pretty delicate but yet strong at the same time. The only thing I can reference which I think it smells like is either Ralph Lauren (any of them) or Clinique Happy. I like the dry down mostly which smells sweet and not as cloying when it’s sprayed. It’s a pretty floral perfume description says jasmine metals, magnolia and amber woods. I get maybe a hint of the amber woods. Very feminine, very young I would say, although anyone I think could pull it off. I originally smelled this in an avon catalog where you rub lol and I liked it. I wish they would do that for all their perfumes, although I probably would buy them all lol.

Love the scent of this perfume. I usually wear Dior Addict but find it too pricey for everyday stay at home mom budget. Great everyday fragrance. Will for sure buy again

This is my favorite Avon fragrance. I have only tried the spray-on vial sample, so I can’t comment on packaging although it looks like a pretty bottle. It is fresh and floral and not overpowering. Perfect for everyday!

Avon’s own words, Rich JASMINE petals and stunning MAGNOLIA touched with radiant AMBERWOODS. Captivating from day to night. This does smell good and it last a very long time. It comes out for Mother’s Day and it is well worth trying out. I sprayed a generous amount onto myself last evening and I can still smell it today and it is noon! I got the lotion as a gift with purchase and it smells good too, but not as good as the spray. My only complaint is when I opened my sealed box, I could already smell the fragrance very loud which means it leaked, probably around the sprayer. This is a bad thing considering it will lose some of the precious liquid with evaporation. I will let Avon know and they will send me a replacement bottle. I do so love this about Avon, but I hate to complain when I am so pleased with the smell. The price is affordable and the bottle is quaint. Old school type bottle in a way but the bottle means little if the smell is not good. I can go with a less attractive bottle if the juice inside is wonderful, and this one is. Avon has really stepped up their game with their fragrances and this is a good thing. A+

I had a bottle of Rochas Femme about a decade ago and recently craved it. So I just ordered another bottle (EDT) and am wearing it for the first time today. Yes, it’s the same scent I remembered and craved, and it’s just soooo deeply satisfying to me. It strikes an elemental chord.
Per Fragrantica.com, it was originally released in 1943 but was reformulated in 1989, and it appears that the 1989 version is what I have (and likely had the first time around also).
Fragrantica.com says, “The perfume was reconstructed in 1989 and has become lighter and more gourmand thanks to the peach note in harmony with plum. The notes are: bergamot, peach, pear, rose, an immortal, jasmine, ylang-ylang, grey amber, musk, oakmoss and sandal.”
Per parfumo.net, the 1989 version contains:
Top Notes – Apricot, Bergamot, Peach, Plum, Rosewood, Cinnamon, Lemon
Heart Notes – Clove, Iris, Jasmine, Rose, Rosemary, Ylang-ylang
Base Notes – Amber, Benzoin, Oakmoss, Leather, Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla
I thought I would find a cumin note in those note lists, but I see there isn’t one. Yet it comes across as having a subtle hint of cumin in it (to my nose) — which is exactly what I was craving about it. In spite of all the fruit topnotes listed and the tag of “chypre”, Rochas Femme is mostly a soft smooth amber-sandalwood scent, to my nose — a low warm mmm of a scent, with almost a soft growl to it.
It’s warm, woody and technically in the same chypre class as Serge Lutens’ Feminite du Bois (with all those fruit notes), yet I’m also getting a CK Obsession vibe from it.
It’s a very cold January day, and Rochas Femme is working its magic. For me, it has a deeply soothing, calming, and reassuring quality (almost primal) — and also a nostalgic, homey, comforting quality. It’s a close-to-the-body warm human fragrance — quite unique — and it’s just what I wanted. I think I will always need to have a bottle of Rochas Femme in my collection.

I recently found an old(er) bottle of this when I was cleaning out boxes of stuff in the top of my closet, and I’m wearing it for the first time in years today. It really smells like autumn to me. Spicy but on the woody side, dry – not a fruitcake spice, although it is a bit fruity with that famous plum base. Deep and muted, not overtly shouting fruit! The overall effect is warm swirling colours like leaves, with moss lurking underneath. So rich and long-lasting. This is the type of old-fashioned fragrance that really melds with your skin and creates a warm aura around you. It’s gentle but seriously seductive at the same time. I don’t get any cumin. Maybe this is only in newer bottles? It doesn’t tend to bother me as a note anyway. It’s nice to be reacquainted with an old love.

This is for the vintage (which you can still pick up for NOT silly money). This Femme immediately struck me as a very peachy chypre and unlike many chypres due to it’s extreme warmth. It does verge on the overwhelming due to its sweet heaviness. It has an awful lot of amber qualities and I would say that it has more in common with today’s ambers (for example, Ambre Sultan) than today’s chypres. Also, of course it has the sandalwood that many of us miss so much. A perfume for when opulence is required!

This was the perfume my grandmother wore, it was sophisticated without being over the top. I also wore it decades ago. A classic, and nothing modern smells like it. LOVE.

Rochas fragrances have been discontined by P&G so anyone who loves Femme like me, get your black clothes on and mourn the loss of what should have been respected and held as a Classic for all time.
So sad when big Pharmaceutical companies sieze a brand and then dump it. It is like carving up the Mona Lisa an absolute travesty.
Shame Guerlain did not take the formula and relaunch it.
Such disrespect and sadness for those who know !

I can clearly see now why Femme was the late Edie Sedgwick’s favorite fragrance. It has a wild, untamed sensuality to it, and yet the dry down is refined debutante. It’s like two perfumes in one, with a split personality. In the eau de toilette version, the cumin note is more pronounced. However, in the eau de parfum, it is the peach and the plum notes that are more predominant, and that seems to balance out the touch of cumin. I have the old version of this scent in extrait form(manufactured in France prior to 1975) and it’s lighter; also heavier on the leather and lemon zest notes. No cumin in the original, but the dry down is the same as the reformulated modern version. The old version of Femme reminds me a lot of Chanel’s Cuire de Russe (which also has a leather note). I actually like both versions of Femme. I could see why Edie loved the original, as it had that wild zing of leather vibe right in the heart note. You definitely have to have the right body chemistry for Femme. On many, it can be overwhelming. Just a dab or one spritz from the spray bottle is more than enough. I highly recommend the eau de parfum version if you can find it. It’s best to pass on the eau de toilette version of Femme unless you are a true cumin devotee. If Alexander McQueen’s Kingdom dries down to a body odor aura on you, then it’s best to pass on the eau de toilette version. The best way to sample Femme edp is in the mini size. It delivers just the right drop or two to blend into the wrists. And, the min version of Femme will not leave you with fragrance overload. It’ll keep the scent right on the skin, where it belongs.
