Too Rough for Me
With its juicy plum, soft peach, spices, and woody base, Femme seemed like it had everything to please me - on paper, at least. But on my skin, it’s a different story: the leather takes up far too much space, intensely animalic (the cumin probably plays a role in that too). A distinctly vintage feel only reinforces this impression, and I just can’t connect with it.
After several hours, the fragrance softens. The vanilla becomes more prominent, the plum turns warmer, and the whole composition becomes more pleasant. But it takes too long to reach that stage, and the wait doesn’t make me want to stick around.
A bold, characterful fragrance that will undoubtedly appeal to lovers of spicy chypres. It almost could have won me over, but in the end, it’s just too much for me.
