Doesn’t last on me at all… I’ve had to spray myself five/six times to get anything…. I’ve decided to mix this with Aventus and Pure orchid by Halle Barry dupe perfume oil in a body spray bottle….. Smells a million times better with longevity and actual sillage.
First spray is REALLY nice but I refuse to pay anymore than five dollars for a perfume that doesn’t last five minutes.

I just bought this at tj maxx for a steal of $9.99 a 3.4 oz bottle!! Holy crap this smells so GOOD. My box looks the same, but the name on the bottom is Jean Marc Paris. it smells a lot like Sofia by Sofia Vergara, and the bottle looks similar to a Versace bottle. I Love this stuff. I’m gonna buy a backup!!!

Nothing “noir” about this. Just a ho-hum fruity floral that wouldn’t be in any way provocative on a 14-year-old girl. Cotton candy…period.

YUM. Raspberry patchouli mouthwatering sweet-spicy. In the style of popular fruitchoulies like the great review below states, and just a fun, berry-vanilla, and wow, even something a little buttery smelling too.
Also this one doesn’t do anything weird on my skin like a few others have; it just gets more snuggly and soft in dry-down. I’d say the patchouli is tame here.
This is the best sweet fruity patchouli scent I’ve tried in a while. Longevity 4-5 hrs. Lovers of LVEB, Flowerbomb, Jimmy Choo, etc…grab this at Ross.
Also, I have another Michel Germaine perfume, Tattoo, which I love, but my bottle of Femme Noir says Jean Marc Paris.

An extremely long-lasting raspberry scent that is surprisingly complex for what it’s worth! I laughed at how it develops on my skin for the price; I got a 3.4fl oz for $10 at Marshall’s and use it any time I want to just smell delicious and fruity sans headaches. I love the raspberry-vanilla opening with the slightest hint of musk, proceeding into a yummy soapy scent 5+ hours later. Wish this had a note pyramid on the site.

As soon as I tried this, I could clearly detect raspberry, plus some sort of floral note, and a hint of patchouli. I managed to find some notes online – raspberry, rose, chocolate, patchouli, amber vanilla. Those seem about right. Femme Noir is a very light, pleasant, sweet scent, and a good value for the price. Fragaria’s review sums up how I feel about this scent. It seems to borrow from other popular current fragrances but doesn’t smell exactly like any of them. When I first smelled this, I loved it right away, but after it settles, I only liked it, because I feel it gets a tad too sweet in the drydown. I feel it was likely created to be a generic crowd pleaser at an affordable price, and it accomplishes that. It won’t make you stand out in a crowd, but it will make you smell pretty darn good and may even get you a compliment or two.

On a mere budget of pennies, this covers a lot of the huge popular sweet scents. This is “similar” to Guess by Marciano, Flowerbomb, Pink Sugar, Fancy, Nicole by Nicole Richie and many others. I don’t mean this will replace them or there is no need for them. But if your the person that needs a sweet scent in your collection and you don’t have but an extra ten dollars a year for perfume…this can fill in for that sweet tooth. (I have been this person)
For such a low price, I find it’s beautiful. Pink Sugar has been just as cheap. But I find this has a little bit of all these scents in it. If your nose is very snooty, you will find many faults with this scent. Myself, I could compliment someone wearing this as well as any of the other scents I mentioned.
This isn’t a diamond, but it’s a pretty shiny crystal!

It’s nice. It is powdery on me. It does remind me of Miss Dior Cherie.I would prefer this for an evening night out

So light and young, seems marketed to teens. Almost something that Bieber’s people would churn out. The name Femme Noir is so misleading, I was expecting something with more weight. If you spray on a lot you get the tiniest glimmer of Miss Dior Cherie, Viva la Juicy, or Bodycology bath products, especially XOXO, but mostly typical teeny bop. You could wear this anywhere and offend no one. Universally safe.
Update: I’ve pulled this out now that it’s winter and find it to be more on the masculine, spicy side and very similar to Adrienne Vitadini.
After coming back to this a few months later, I find it very much like Cherry Blossom scents, and I just realized, Flowerbomb.

I picked this up from TJ Maxx today for $9.99 for 2.5 oz. It’s a nice scent especially for the price. Initially, I get a fruity vibe reminiscent of Strawberry Quik (Nesquik) but those top notes don’t last very long. It starts to darken up a bit soon after. I get some floral and vanilla/amber notes mixed in with a mild patchouli. It has a sweet fruity oriental vibe to it IMO. The lasting power is descent…not a powerhouse but certainly do-able. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase 🙂
