Description
Etienne Aigner is launching a new fragrance Etienne Aigner Pour Femme which arrives on the market in 2010. After successful edition Starlight from 2008 which gives us a dose of mystery and elegance, the new Pour Femme promises a more daring approach. The concept is based of wealth, luxury and extravagance, accompanied by elegant and sensual notes of the composition.
Etienne Aigner Pour Femme radiates with unique and harmonious essences which accentuate femininity, sensibility ad elegance of a lady. Aim of this fragrance is to reflect quality and style of the brand. Its components create luminous and modern rhythm with timeless femininity and sophistication. This fragrance, as the house of Etienne Aigner announces, was created to be a classic and to represent name of the brand in the best way possible.
Top notes encompass fine, spicy tacts of black pepper, fresh dew drops, bergamot and mandarin. A heart intertwines Bulgarian rose, freesia and fruity taste of apricot, while a base is built around fines notes of amber, patchouli, white musk and woody cedar. Its woody-oriental finish closes down with gourmand almond aroma. The flacon has the same form as violet Starlight edition, and advertising poster is made in similar style.
The campaign is based on art direction L`Art de Vivre which is an embodiment of joy of life, luxury, quality and sophistication. There is a unique approach to creating the composition, design of flacons and outer cartons, as well as advertising poster. A woman who is getting ready for a night out in Paris is shown. She chooses an elegant black dress and discrete earrings. The woman enjoys beautiful and expensive things, great night out and pleasures of life.
The fragrance is available as 30, 60 and 100ml EDP, along with 200ml perfumed body milk. Edition: 2010.

I’ve been looking for a new fragrance that has rose accords in it and with the help of the reviews, I finally decide to blind buy this perfume. And I’m definitely glad that I did.
The first spray was quite spicy and powerful because of the prominent pepper notes, but it quickly becomes fresh and sweet as the bergamot and mandarin notes appear.
Then, the heart is filled with an elegant and feminine blend of ripe and sweet apricot with Bulgarian roses. The heart is already lush and beautiful on its own, but the patchouli, musk and amber accords make the fragrance even more divine. I found the patchouli notes to be quite minty and sometimes dirty on my skin, but the amber notes soften it down and giving it a more feminine touch. The musk notes in this are also really gorgeous.
This is a feminine, elegant and classy fragrance. Perfectly suitable for a mature lady. However, it is not an “old lady” scent in any way. I also adore the fact that this fragrance somehow manages to add fresh citrusy notes to it without making the scent seems sporty or masculine.
This is a very beautiful and well-made fragrance indeed, especially considering the somewhat inexpensive price.
The sillage is very decent too. It is definitely noticeable, yet it is not overly heavy that it became overwhelming. The fragrance lasted around 6 to 7 hours on my skin. But the longevity on fabric is no joke. I sprayed it on a handkerchief as a tester and the scent lasted for around a week.
Well, I guess that this will be my new favourite perfume~

For such a cheapie, this is amazing.
On my skin, it develops into a dupe of CK Escape, but almost as if it was Escape in an EDT version. Much more wearable for me.
The play between the rose and apricot is just cozy.

My discreet and humble, dear friend. Love it!

This much elegance and high quialuty is almost unbelievable for such a cheapy!!
It reminds me dior midnight poison,don’t mistake me they ARE differant but I can see some similarities,maybe it’s about dominant peppery citrus rose in a patchouli base..I also find similarities between this one and chloe edp,but despite all this similarities,I find aigner pour femme one of those fragrances that own an individual personality
Aigner femme is a wearable oriental,it’s not light,but also not very heavy and bold,ypu can wear it all around the year and it’s a great choice for who is not a perfume fan and wants just one oriental perfume to wear in every occasion
It opens with spiced citrus notes,fresh but not sporty,soon a heady rose,apricut and almond kick in,dry down is warm,sexy and not very original,dominant patch,and a hint of musk and amber
It’s mature but not old lady like,it’s really cost worthy and longevity and sillage are other positive points,it stays on my skin pretty long with a very good sillage

Strange, this is similar to A*Men Mugler for me.

A lovely fragrance that makes you feel so positive and happy. It’s noticeable but not annoying. I love it and my husband likes it and he rarely likes any perfume. I strongly recommend.
CaH4oLess – :
This is one of the best perfume surprises I’ve experienced lately.
What I love about it is how it manages to be obviously citrusy, elegant and sexy – all at the same time. Usually citruses make perfumes sound more sporty and masculine but not in this case. This perfectly fits dressed up occasions and is also appropriate for everyday.
I can’t wait to add it to my collection.

I did not expect it to smell that elegant since the price is almost cheap here in my country.The drydown on paper is warm and soft and a little bit spicy like a wearable well behaved oriental :)it is not very original but it is versatile and worth buying, reminds me of Baiser Vole Cartier.

First i thought this is a smell-bomb: way too heavy, but also a statement making scent, by no means polite or gentle.
Then i thought it smells very 80s, very strong, intense, nauseating if i may…
Yes the patchouli is dominant, and dry.. but there are so many other things in here! I believed there were at least 10 flowers here, but only rose and fresia are listed… i smell lily of the valley, carnation, iris, violet and orchid – how weird!
To my nose, this is a flower oriental, a very long lasting one indeed. My mum loved it on me – but it gives me a headache!

Etienne Aigner Pour Femme tends to pop up in my Ebay suggestions quite a bit these days. It intrigued me to say the least, but as a blind buy I was cautious.
I stumbled upon Etienne Aigner Pour Femme just last week whilst browsing one of my favourite discount perfumeries. Needless to say I tested it as soon as I saw it on the shelf.
I’m a huge fan of patchouli. It’s one of those notes I just can’t get enough of, especially during the cooler months. Etienne Aigner Pour Femme has a rather dominant patchouli accord, further complimented by black pepper, sharp citrus and a hint of rose oil.
This fragrance draws some comparisons to some popular niche scents. It also reminds me a little of YSL’s Elle. The quality of this fragrance is superb, especially when you take into consideration the affordable price tag that Etienne Aigner Pour Femme bears.
The longevity cannot be faulted, lasting throughout the day, from early morning to late evening. Although marketed to women, Etienne Aigner Pour Femme could easily be unisex. It has that sharp patchouli note often found in Arabic oils. Those of you that adore thick, resinous orientals may well indeed enjoy wearing Etienne Aigner Pour Femme.

This is quite a different take on fruity-floral fragrance. While most fruity floral fragrances widely marrying the rose and peach scents, Aigner Pour Femme is more to a ripe, luscious apricot and sweet mandarin, along with the creamy-nutty almond eccentuated by the spicy and musky-floral accord.
To my nose, it is not all about apricot-mandarin duo that gives the fruity vibe to this fragrance. There are hints of sweet, ripe pineapple, juicy rockmelon, and honey dew in the background, exalted by the earthy sweet amber and patchouli.
Aigner Pour Femme is a well-made, long-lasting, and powerfully-feminine fragrance, with a wonderful projection. A beautiful fragrance indeed.

This smells beautiful. On my skin the notes don’t change that much from top to base. It’s sweet, a bit spicy and dries creamy.. Sexy enough but not loud. It is seducing yet comforting kind of scent. And it IS elegant. I just got it this morning and lasts around 3hours on my skin, then i took a shower in the evening, spritz again and layered with Balmain Ambre Gris and ohlalaaa it smells even more seducing, stronger and lasts LONGER. Perfect blind buy and i’m sure i’ll reach this bottle quite often. Feminine but NOT old-lady scent, it smells like a parisienne walking classy down the street wrapped in elegant fur.. j’adore!
Bagiev – :
I smell many different notes in here, however, for some reason it smells very strongly of some kind of woody note. I don’t like it. It might actually be pepper and not wood – I don’t know. This is also very heavy on the musk – I know this because I get head aches from it, and the more musk there is in a perfume, the faster I get a head ache. This gave me an instant head ache and didn’t go away even after me trying to scrub it off with soap 🙁
DimaCrew – :
where can you buy this?? its beautiful, i have a tester and i’m literally in love!
pso203speagoessenda – :
I love this perfume. reminds me of paloma picasso for women. paloma picasso’s just more powerful and clear. but both the same perfume that gives pleasure to those who wear it.
XrfDSTes – :
Oh gosh,… I’m wearing it again now and I’m seriously almost drooling over this stuff! 🙂
It’s too bad that it’s not more popular/well known. Anyone who doesn’t know this perfume yet is surely missing out on something extremely lush!
♥♥♥♥♥

This was on my test list for quite a while now and I decided to purchase it together with another fragrance, because I happened to see it was available at that particular webshop and have not seen it around anywhere else… so it kinda felt like “now or never!!!” So it became a NOW and I do not regret it!
I am very happy with this blind purchase! This is some pretty good stuff!
I have a weak spot for fragrances that open with notes of orange, manderine, and/or bergamot.
I just love the juicy, soft sweet freshness of them!
Here they are nicely accompanied by a touch of pepper which is not at all overpowering, but adds a nice spicy kick to it!
Then comes the floral heart in which the rose takes the lead, softened by sweet apricot.
Amber really creates a lovely, round and warm finish in the base where I can also find the slightest touch of almond…
I really dig this frag! Up to my favorite shelf it goes!!

A classy one for the sweet tastes ..
It opens with strong & heady flowers, then drys down with a sticky sweetness as smells exactly as burnt sugar, alot of apricot jam is here ,, too sweet
The lasting power & sillage are amazing .. it lasts strong till the next day & more.
This bomb should be used carefully in the right time & the right place, it would be so perfect Or if not it may kill a person as the poster below said hehehe 😀

i got it from my friend as a birthday present… first time i spray it to my body i thought it kinda strong.. but after a while its getting softer.
and suprisingly i more and more like it after i used couple of times.
its elegant but soft and feminine.. its long lasting on me, more than 5 hours.
tkz219Diobtetty – :
the opening is kinda sweet, very floral fruity 🙂
pepper however got lost somehow, true there’s a similarity to chloe edp but chloe is more floral, this one to me there’s a bit of sweetness.. surprisingly i’m very much liking it 😉
edit:
after awhile i got a hint of pepper and soft musk & amber, still beautiful frangrance, very wearable
paata90 – :

acidnova – :
i finally bought this perfume after a lot of research and i think i’ve made an excellent choise!as soon as i tried it on,everybody at work said they loved it!they actually said that it”sticks”in the nose for some time after you smell it..in a good way!the notes of this perfume are so elegant and i would say it’s a trademark smell that you cannot forget.i am not sure about the lasting power though..anyway,my opinion is that you should try it on.you will definately be surprised!

Sorry for my review but this fume remind me a lot of Tang …;) very orange-y but not freshly squeezed, a tad smoothy rosy and almond cream ending …
Sounds weird for someone but not bad at all ..really nice scent very chic and stylished and semi-formal for my taste (I do get a minimal similarity with JPG Madame mixed with Gerlain L’Instant Magic)both I have.
Good for all year round..not too light nor overwhelming key scent is orange juice blended with almond.. Pleasant for day but not bold and special enough for me to go out night :P. Check it out !..
amsofi – :
It gives the most wonderful feeling in beginning. But it lasts so short time, after couple of hours it’s vanished.

Simply beautiful:) Best perfume this year…
