Herve Leger Femme

I also really like this perfume, that I got a bottle of just over two weeks back when it was on promotion in one of the Avon catalogues. Couldn't help but grab such an excellent value item after seeing its attractive price point there. The packaging looks very nice, classy and inevitably draws inspiration from Herve Leger's iconic bandage designs. So, you find yourself with that type of perfume presentation which is genuinely rewarding to display and appreciate visually! Regarding the actual fragrance profile itself: it comes across as really elegant and distinctly feminine smelling. It carries a sense of luxury or high-end quality when I wear it. I concur completely with one assessment here pointing out similarities to Estee Lauder Sensuous. Had precisely that thought myself too - definitely an aroma quite like dark, soft woods yet still smooth and powdery at heart; quite alluring! Within the overall softness of this scent profile there's clearly a hint of freshness which I believe corresponds directly with grapefruit elements present in other interpretations but doesn't feel sharp or biting on my skin. For me, it simply enhances warmth while keeping things clean. Notably absent from my personal experience are those perceived notes of smokiness and spiciness mentioned by some others; they just don't register for me at all during application sessions. And I'm certain the gender leaning is strongly feminine – definitely not a unisex scent to my mind! Really, echoing what another reviewer said (though I naturally reserve judgment), I consider it quite soft enough that doesn't feel overwhelming or attention-grabbing from afar; suitable for anytime use according to me – day, evening without issue. It cleverly combines understated polish with subtle sensuality so it works well across different situations. The one somewhat frustrating aspect connected to this perfume is its limited availability in only the 50ml (or whatever volume designation) format found within Avon's offerings. It feels like a missed opportunity since larger capacities would be genuinely convenient given how quickly these scents can develop on skin for me; definitely time for bigger bottles according to my current needs!

Okay, here are two versions reflecting the communication speaking tone: **English Version:** A beautiful scent doesn't work well for my skin type. On me it becomes unisex and the Cedar really stands out too much. I have a problem with some woody notes; they smell bad on me. It's nice to know it works so well when shared, like on my friend who tried it today. **Swedish Version:** En underbar doft fungerar inte för min hudtyp. På mig förvandlas den till en unisex och Ceder lyser igenom lite för mycket. Jag har problem med tränoter; de doftar inte gott på mig. Det är fint att höra att det fungerar så bra när man delar, som vid min kompis som provade idag.

This scent works really well on my skin. It smells warm, sexy and inviting. I'd say mature but not in a matronly way. It's received many compliments when worn. Not a common scent nowadays. One spritz is sufficient as it can be too strong and the longevity is impressive. Sometimes sprayed on a scarf for long-lasting fragrance.

very romantic and feminen, reminds me of givenchy fleur interdit, same woody notes, soft magnolia very long lasting

On the sample strip, this fragrance smells wonderful - woody with floral notes plus hints of honey. On my skin, it presents as pink pepper followed by woods, with a lingering incense trail but no florals or honey detected. In its drydown phase, the scent settles into plain dry woods, which isn't amber nor sandalwood. One spray on me Sillage: noticeable from nose to wrist area Longevity: approximately an hour Rating: 1/5 stars due to poor sillage and longevity; however, it might receive a 3/5 for its woody aroma.
