Fruits and Flowers

Looking at the general rating of FCUK’s fragrances I would probably advise them to stop making them… with an average rating of 6.5 of the 42 fragrances listed here it is not the most impressive result.
Friction Her is rated higher than average - 6.9. In my opinion it is only fair. After all this is a decent sweet fruity scent with lots of berries in the top and a good floral-woody mix in the heart. The base is insignificant since the longevity of this one is not satisfactory. After two hours it begins to fade and I have to spray again. That is the biggest issue since I cannot rely on a fragrance that I need to re-spray every second hour. No matter how much I like the scent it is a no-go for me.
The bottle is decent but looks (too) much like CK One. It would be nice if bottle designers stay true to their own design instead of getting inspiration from an already well known design. With 18 years between CK One and this I dare say that Chad Lavigne would have seen the iconic CK One bottle during the years.

Creamy coconut

I did enjoy this fragrance. I liked that it had the creamy coconut scent I had been looking for. However the projection and the longevity were very poor on my skin. The sprayer was also terrible. I had to struggle every time I used it, it barely sprayed. I get that it's an inexpensive perfume but I have others just as inexpensive with much better performance so I couldn't help being disappointed. I ended up giving it away because, overall, for me, it wasn't worth it.

Coconut-vanilla delight

No idea where the friction should come from, when you spray on this scent which is as nice and inoffensive as you can get with this particular brand. A simple combo of coconut and vanilla. I'm not really into coconut-fragrances, but FRICTION HER, is acceptable. Probably best enjoyed on summer skin on a balmy evening. Longevity is brilliant (as with all FCUK scents). And very affordable, too.
