I’m a fan of MFK Aqua Universalis, so i think this worth to give it a try. i bought a 10ml decant and really like it.
Just like its name, Feminin Pluriel is such a lovely, safe and elegant floral scent. if you like powdery, soapy kind of scent, then you could give this a try.
if you want to be considered as feminine and elegant person, this worth to try.

Wow, who would have guessed such a beautiful, ‘easy’ perfume would prove so polarizing in the reviews! I love, love, love this. I am repeating myself with MFK perfumes, he’s a genius for me. I hate girlie scents, I usually go for quirky, dark floral bombs. But this is the only overtly feminine, floral that captured my heart. It’s a strong scent but immeasurably light. It’s like floating on a glistening cloud on a sunny day. This fragrance is that, and every other corny analogy you can think of, just not in an ironic way. It really does uplift the spirit.

Lovely soapy clean beauty! Very Chypre,❤️ Epitome of elegance!
Long lasting and good sillage! LOVE.

On me, pluriel starts with a blast of crazy floral and dries down on a very beautiful dusty musk which i love but unfortunately very similar to kate moss vintage, which i also love. It’s an ok perfume, but not for the price.. or maybe i only like this because i really miss kate moss vintage? Hmm…
kazap – :
Definitely a floral perfume with violet being the dominant scent followed by patchouli. If you hate patchouli like I do, you wouldn’t mind the patchouli in this perfume. It is a quiet floral though, with a very slight citrus middlenote (mid smell) probably because of the rose scent balancing it out, although to be clear I do not smell rose at all. So if you are expecting rose, you will be disappointed. However, when I tested herbal and lemon/lime-y perfumes first before this one, I did smell the rose as a top note. Overall, it is an ok perfume. Not offensive, but nothing special either. It’s like you have smelled it before. It is a linear perfume.

So soft and light feminine fragrance!
I find something green/floral/lipsticky inside. Crystal clear floral beauty.
srgbrok – :
Don’t know what the criticism of this fragrance is.
1. it projects arms length and lasts at least 9-12 hours on 3 sprays
2. It’s a HUGE floral bouquet with powdery sweetness throughout
3. Orange blossom, violet, jasmine and iris are the standout notes with a hint of rose
It is stronger than Lumiere Noir Pour Femme, A La Rose, and Baccarat Rouge in terms of projection.
Perhaps the main criticism if you want to call it that, is the opening is very strong; with a mismash of floral notes which can be both a bit eclectic and powdery. Also, it’s typical of the MFK line which has the “I’ve smelt this before but this is more refined vibe to it.”
Longer lasting and stronger projecting than the Masculin version which is an EDT.
(Why no EDPs for men!!!)

I didn’t like the smell of this at all. It is complex smelling, but I feel like the scents don’t compliment each other and find the result rather annoying. Like a garden that maybe something shouldn’t be there. It smelled nothing like I expected it to based on the notes. Reminded me of Daisy by Marc Jacobs mixed with some red flowers that don’t match it at all. I have to note though that I’m a fan of the nose of Mr. Kurkdjian and other perfumes he’s made, such as Narciso Rodriguez, A la rose, My Burberry Black and Oud Satin Mood.
GANGUBAS – :
I ordered a sample of this based on the notes, because they looked lovely. And it is pretty – a very soft, delicate floral. But I’m underwhelmed – it’s a timid fragrance and nothing in this jumps out. For the price, I’d want something with a bit more presence. Not a shouty, in-your-face, hey-everybody-I’m-wearing-perfume presence that chokes the room, but something with a little more gumption. I at least want to feel like I’m wearing something, and this doesn’t – it disappears way too fast. Still, very pretty while it lasts.
Xeroxwspun – :
Feminin Pluriel by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a fresh floral bouquet on my skin, the perfect scent for the warmer months. It smells very clean and soapy for the most part, with the slightest hint of floral sweetness in the opening and heart of this composition.
I tested Feminin Pluriel in the hopes that it would make a suitable bridal fragrance for my big day. Unfortunately as we intend to get married during the slightly cooler Autumn season, Feminin Pluriel is a touch too fresh and sparkling to make the cut. It’s also not as creamy as I’d hoped it would be.
I would most likely wear Feminin Pluriel during Summer if I ever happened to own a bottle. It wears very bright and crisp on my skin, and as reviewer Elena Vosnaki from The Perfume Shrine points out in her review, it does feature a prominent note of benzyl salicylate which further adds to the shower-fresh aroma this fragrance conveys.
There isn’t any one floral note that stands out to my nose as they all blend well together. It joins the likes of other fresh florals such as Ralph Lauren’s Romance, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Lancome’s Miracle. It is slightly better than the aforementioned fragrances above, as you would expect being a fragrance composed by the masterful Francis Kurkdjian.

*UPDATE** I just tried Narciso Rodriguez For Her the EDT version on my skin and it’s SO similiar! Crazy…If I had known it earlier, i would have bought Narciso Rodriguez instead (where MFK was the nose behind the scent)
Gorgeous floral bouquet hugging you with a white musky cloud, which is not too overpowering. I am new to niche perfumery and I love it that it is so wearable, although it might be too boring for some people.
Sillage: Medium..enough to wear it outside but not too much that it will slap your colleauges in the office in their face. This scent enters the room with you, not before you and hugs everyone softly around it
Longevity: 4-5h, which is ok for my dry skin but not ok considering the price tag
Blind buy? if you love powdery cleanish flower bouqets, yes. To me this is very feminine and I enjoy it a lot but I would not buy it again, since I am sure that there are more affordable options out there.
Good perfume to start your perfume journey with, which is what I did.

Manifestation of Feminism!
Feminin Pluriel could touch my heart at the very first sniff. A professional blend of solid-lipstick-type powdery scent and woods.. touched by very nuance drops of floral compositions.
Although I have never been into expensive perfumes, I have decided to design a financial schedule to save my money to buy this jewel.
Meres1k – :
Pluriel and Almyris are my favorite. I noted that golden letters on the bottles are coming off, I wanted to ask if anyone has had the same experience? I purchased my bottles on eBay and I am speculating whether I did not end up with fake products?
SonyMon – :
I had the same experience as highmaintenance – I found this nice, ok, unobtrusive – some clean musk and soft florals with a little wood – but uttely uninspiring. Why you would pay this much money for something which neither has the lush sweep of expensive raw ingredients nor original personality is totally beyond me.
vat86rus – :
To me this smelt rather masculine. Reading some of these reviews perhaps I am mistaken but I recall it smelling like hairspray and woodsy notes without sweetness. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
shaxit – :
This is a sophisticated version of SJP Lovely. It’s a pretty floral but at that price quite unremarkable!
The biggest problem I have with Féminin Pluriel is that although it’s composed with high quality ingredients, in the end it just reminds me of average mainstream commercial fragrances. At this price we can establish the fact I am unimpressed – bear in mind you can buy cheaper yet more creative Serge Lutens scents. This will work more for women seeking exclusive yet conventionally pretty, unobtrusive and feminine fragrances and who feel too insecure and intimidated to explore more challenging olfactory creations.
SPGudvin – :
Opens very dusty and powdery,I’m not a fan of opening part,all I can smell is dominant vetiver,a dusty,powdery iris,and sad and cold violet,lacks feminine sweetness,softness and warmness
But soon this dusts and powders calm down and bright,delicate rose and other florals start to show up,it turns to a soft powdered rose with a woodsy undertone,I also can smell a faded fruity vibe,maybe it’s violet,or orange blossom
Feminin pluriel is a modern powdery scent,it’s wearable,simple and young
The more I wear it,the more I like it,like to wear it during spring
The most beautiful part is the dry down,when powdery iris and violet and rose,and dusts of vetiver sit on skin and turn to be a skin scent,began to become a bit warm with body temp and melt with skin,it looks like a pleasant,clean and delicate second skin,very soft and longlasting with a hint of delicate sweetness..it becomes a part of you
I find it simple but very high quality and original,you may like it even if you are not a fan of powdery,or woody or rosey fragrances
Despite great longevity,it’s very gentle and I find it really inoffensive skinscent,still this not my favorite kurkdjian fragrance
If you want something loud and special or you want to be noticed,it may dissapoint you for the money you’ve paid
I just wish the bottle was a bit larger(70 ml bottle looks very small)
❤❤❤
Edit:unfortunately I can’t love it,I love rose,I love powder..but I can’t get along with this dose of vetiver and iris..I’m sad I didn’t buy a la rose instead of this one,that one is less unique but more pretty and feminine
Widuc – :
Very sweet in a screechy kind of way. Initially I detected violets and rose and then I realised how much this smells like Annick Goutal’s Petite Cherie! I was so convinced that I sprayed it onto a blotter and asked the sales assistant to distinguish between the two and she couldn’t! As time progresses it becomes more fruity and less “screechy”. Nice but not worth it, AGs Petite Cherie is a cheaper alternative.
aqwert2012 – :
Absolutely my new favorite! The opening smells like a lipstick in a slightly fresher way, then woody musky rose! I’m so in love!

Maison Francis Kurkjian: FEMININ PLURIEL
This is just downright lovely on me! I turned my head slightly just after spritzing because the scent wafting from my wrists was so alluring. A decidedly rare, unusually clean and delicate floral chypre as it reads on my skin. Every single note sings out distinct and pure in this composition, every single note takes a wonderfully positive turn on my skin, and yet, every note is masterfully woven together in a seamless silken blend that is altogether more than the sum of its parts, and an ultra-feminine joy to experience for me.
Clean and clear the orange blossom, non-indolic jasmine, and startlingly intense, fresh-green un-wax-like lily of the valley florals herald the joyous opening here with no overdone soap or cleaning products evident. A cool and soil damp regal Iris emerges full force with a delightful shower of non-candied violet petals, swirled through with a crisply moist, just picked Rose de Grasse; the whole composition being impeccably balanced, and absent the overdone carroty powder bomb side effect.
The patchouli support here is immaculately vegetal and restrained, adding depth with no tinge of musty-dusty offensive decompositional odor. The vetiver is wonderfully blended so as to bolster things with a hint of the most delicate citric-spicy-woodiness, and cool earthy support. The balance between the vetiver and the patchouli is just flawless in enhancing the refined sensuality of the whole without overwhelming it.
The entire scent make me think of strolling through an enchanted fairy forest at dusk with all sorts of little magical creatures glimmering in the shadow.
I find that Maison Francis Kurkjian is growing to be my favorite house. So far, I absolutely love everything he has done. Notes that I ordinarily dislike in other perfumes, I find to be clearly present, and yet not only completely inoffensive, but marvelously realized by an astonishingly skillful blending of exceptionally high quality basic ingredients.
I’m definitely getting a full bottle of this one, and the scented cream as well.
yen998Unlogrere – :
This was love at first sniff for me. It is such a soft and clean scent. Very feminine but not little black dress kind of mysterious and sexy feminine. It is more like a little powder pink dress made of pure silk that wraps you up gently when you wear it. It is happy, sophisticated and long lasting. Adore all the notes in it other than the patchouli. Lucky that it does not really appear on my skin. FP to me it is like a jinn waiting patiently in a gorgeous cubic crystal bottle for someone to come and let her out. As soon as I spray the perfume and set the jinn free, she lifts my spirit and paints it all pink.
sarsik – :
I tried. I really tried. The first time I wore this, I practically jumped away from my wrist. My first impression was Aqua net hairspray and even though I gave it a couple of hours to reveal it’s hoped for beauty, I had to scrub it off. I suffered a headache the whole time. Cut to 2 months later. I thought perhaps I was having an off day and although the longevity is great, I am getting sharp, clean and stinging bubble bath soap. There is a very subtle beautiful fragrance in there trying hard to peek out. I wish it would try harder. Swapping.
scrsnseabrooknaq2 – :
In this modern interpretation of the classic floral-chypre, Kurkdjian replaces the citrus top notes with a sparkling orange blossom and Egyptian jasmine accord, which seem to mimic the vibrancy and freshness of the traditional hesperidic opening. What follows next is an unfurling of exquisite floral notes in a sheer, translucent accord. Florentine iris with its rooty and powdery qualities marries perfectly with a gentle note of violet flower, it too gray in its tonality. Here I feel the fragrance takes on a somewhat classical feel, with an air of distinction and privilege. One can almost smell lipstick-like qualities of the orris root faintly in the background. A fruity rose from Grasse is also apparent, carrying subtle hints of sweet litchi fruit and pear for me. Completing the bouquet is the green-floral scented lily-of-the-valley which helps to gently open up the arrangement and freshen it. Vetiver and Indonesian patchouli eventually permeate from the base of the fragrance, offering a stark contrast to the light and airy notes of the floral bouquet. Together the ground the fragrance with a warm earthiness and musk-like quality.
‘féminin Pluriel’ is an ultra feminine fragrance which reminded me of the aura of purity and innocence surrounding youthful girls. Its delicateness and transparent qualities pay homage to the fairer sex’s gracefulness and poise, while still offering an undercurrent of confident sexiness. Sillage and projection of this ‘eau de parfum’ are modest with its longevity above average. Its use does not seem to be constrained by the seasons, as it appears the universality of its feminine theme transcends the time of year in which it is worn. For this reason ‘féminin Pluriel’ feels appropriate to be worn year round. As an unobtrusive daytime/workwear scent, I definitely feel this fragrance fits the bill. Although, it’s expertly rendered composition is easily suitable to more formal occasions as well. If a woman wants to put on a sheer, floral fragrance which makes her feel beautiful, sexy and feminine, one need to look no further than to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s ‘féminin Pluriel’.

press – :
I think this is the first scent created by MFK as a nose that I’ve actually *disliked*.
The fragrance overall is very linear – and while that seems to be MFK’s signature thing, “simple luxury”, or high quality simple scents… this to me is just bland, and ‘meh’.
The atmosphere of this is stuffy, standard pink bubble bath scent. A really soapy rose, and lily of the valley. I feel almost that if I add water to this, it will surely turn into suds!
Pretty boring, and certainly not worth the crazy $.
filli – :
I tried this the other day and I neither love it or dislike it. The ingredients are pretty standard. I would describe it as a more sophisticated and longer lasting version of Ralph Lauren Romance (which is still quite popular). It is just like Creed’s Spring Flower in that respect. They are both pretty, girly and safe fragrances but they are not worth the high price tags (in my opinion).
des des – :
Everything rickyrebarco has said below is absolutely spot on!! I couldn’t really add more to this review except to say that this smells like soap.
ISAD – :
i prefer this one to the masculine version…there’s the floral element, which is nice and pleasant, but there is also some citrus notes that don’t seem to be in the fragrantica list. nice and light, but not for me…
nog980speagoessenda – :
I love FK but I can’t justify spending $200 for this particular fragrance. It doesn’t stand out like the other fragrances he’s created. It’s a very safe, quiet, pretty fragrance. It doesn’t last more than 3 hours before you have to reapply and honestly it smells like a more sophisticated version of Ralph Lauren Romance. It’s suitable for the office & day, warmer months are ideal.
Оксанка913 – :
It took three trials of this fragrance on my skin before I could really articulate the facets of the fragrance. In short, from beginning to end it smells like a day in a hair salon, with different dominant notes from time to time. It begins with a hair spray note, then moves more to shampoo and hair color scent. It ends with a permanent wave mixed with hair gel and makeup scent. The notes all seem so lovely I am not sure how this mess of a perfume emerged. It must be too much patchouli. There is also too much musk in the mix as well. I can say for sure that this is NOT Monsieur Kurkdjian’s best work and it is not worthy of its pricetag.
fivani – :
I am under-whelmed by this latest offering from one of my favorite noses. I prefer more bolshiness in my perfumes, Kurkdjian’s LPN and APLS being firm loves. This is too watery, too tame, too indistinct, too colorless for me. The trademark orange blossom note is there flanked by powdery iris and transparent florals. The whole effect is subdued and fleeting, the sillage remains very close to the skin on me and longevity was about four to six hours on me, pretty much gone by the sixth. Those who adore airy/light/transparent scents might find this more to their liking, this is not my definition of feminine. I do enjoy the lighter side of things now and then, but I will reach for Un Air de First instead of buying this.
turber – :
pretty…only pretty…even in the bad sense of the word.
karpiatnik – :
Un classicissimo fiorito Francis Kurkdjian, molto Narciso Rodríguez for her estremamente più persistente. Per me è bello ma non originale, non da colpo di fulmine.
mvprok – :
I would say it is typical Kurkdjian, if I may say that. It reminds me of Elie Saab, but less loud and sweet, more soapy clean, more lily-of-the-valley and orange blossom of course. I smell rose deep inside its layers. Very smooth, very cheerful.
mg2 – :
This is pretty, but I don’t find it particularly striking. To be honest, it seems comparable to alot of the young fruity floral scents out there. It’s pleasant, but it’s not a stand out for me. It does smell more natural than some of the synthetic messes.
Lisnoyserg – :
Just smelled this at Neiman Marcus. A beautiful, soft floral, with staying power. Perfectly balanced, just sweet enough, just floral enough, a little woodsy. Perfect for summer. It’s officially on my want list at #1. MFK has done a fabulous job… again.
