It’s the first time when AVON perfum doesn’t smell cheap and boring. It’s really elegant, perfectly created scent worth of known top perfum brands
vovasit1 – :
I loved this perfume, it had a brilliant woody scent and the magnolia was a nice not overpowering scent in it too. I love and can usually pick up incense scents, this one had the faintest scent of it but it was still there under all the other beautiful scents that made this one a winner in my eyes….. nose…
Mecxl279JeomiWogkig – :
Very strong woods scent that I mistook for sandalwood. I predict this top note could possibly irritate some people with scent sensitivity. Intensity is like a watered-down Tom Ford fume. May be unisex. Spray gently.
One spray on me:
Sillage: about a foot
Longevity: after 1/2 hour, becomes skin scent and stays so for two hours
Rating: 2/5

Not A Review: H.L. Femme is getting harder and harder to get, But I have 6 New SEALED bottles available for possible swaps if anyone is interested you can PM Me.
P.S. I Opened one up (the 7th one lol) for my Own Personal Enjoyment and it’s as Fresh as when it was Launched, and you know how some fragrances turn strange colors with the Years, This is Still a Gorgeous Cotton Candy PINK!!

This is the most unique fragrance I have ever encountered and it marked my return to Avon. I purchased this in 2011; prior to this my last Avon fragrance was from the mid 90’s called Natori which I also loved.
The nose behind this fragrance, Calice Becker, must be an absolute genius. She has also created renowned gems such as J’adore and Tom Ford’s Black Orchid oud and Velvet Orchid. I now realize that a master perfumer will nudge you out of your comfort zone while keeping the industry on its toes.
Her talent was not to be ignored by Avon, resulting in the release of Herve Leger Femme. It’s a rich, woodsy, feminine scent that is unique and in my opinion will stand the test of time. But…….Avon no longer makes this beauty! Why on earth would they create a masterpiece only to tease you and put it back into the vault? I savor my bottle and hope that Avon will one day re-release this elixir. If they do, stock up.
AniZtaR – :
I bought this on its original release and received a refillable spray that my daughter appropriated and a normal glass bottle which has languished boxed up until today when it got a trip out – to a hospital appointment.
It seemed perfect for it, nothing offensive here, clean smelling, vanilla woods. It doesn’t smell like an Avon scent. I have often dismissed it as a kind of nothing scent but it is strangely comforting in an almost bland kind of way. It’s the mashed potato of perfume maybe, fairly bland and comforting. Okay so it doesn’t smell of potato, perhaps a warm towel is more fitting, a white fluffy towel washed in the fanciest type of laundry wash.
I may actually wear this more often in future. Lasting power is actually really good
Someone else astutely describes it as an incomplete Dolce Vita and I can totally see that!
uchihamoradan – :
Smell of pure air in Europe! Absolutely the Herve Leger line created exclusively for Avon come to be synonymous with refinement, elegance, status and haute couture at its best. Nothing compares to this very elaborate fragrance that in its evolution takes us to the streets where they pass people in great style to Europe out their propaganda reinforces this idea of a slim and chic perfume. Taste like the magnolia flowers behave by orientality the Cardamom just off, the latter is tame enough not to cause itching in the nose giving way to the evolution of the flower of womanhood in its so vibrant display. I admit that the color of her pink juice refers to the idea of an extremely feminine perfume, but in his heart the bitter and dry notes of cedar associated with Jasmine print him a more mature appearance, imposing and full of sweetness due to a Mel natural appearing prominently sweeten this stage; also like the background subtly woody noticeable on it, referring to grab a determined and independent woman. Finally, Herve Leger Femme is presented with a Vanilla very sweet at the same time punge its sweetness is dominated by the virility of a slightly medicinal Cypress giving a significant camphor in it, and the touch of incense in its final stage is highly valuable guarantee HIM force in setting and assistance in their silage that is highly surprising. Impossible to pass unscathed when wearing Herve Leger Femme Avon, he has the power to make people address him to know his name, who likes to praise worth going to search this discontinued. I repeat, absolutely is a unique fragrance which refers to European soil!
Word of the day: refinement… (day 50)
bobby444 – :
When I tried this scent from paper in catalogue, it caught me, if I bought it, i couldn’t stand it on my skin – always the same with Avon scnets. It doesn’t smell nice on my skin, even tried it on clothing… didn’t help.
Shame, it has superb bottle.
I can use only one Avon fragrance.
Rusell83 – :
Oriental vanilla – not quite. Woody? Not the type of woody I would classify as woody. To be honest I have no idea what I am smelling right now but I will try my best. It’s certainly not bad.
The beginning is a very sweet pink grapefruit. Must be the combo of grapefruit with honey and vanilla. Very sweet and more of a floral fruity as soon as the magnolia joins. The middle and base notes are a little blurred. I do get some sort of light and clean woody notes as well as the cypress. But it’s not very strong and the pink grapefruit is detectable throughout the scent. I do not get any cardamom or incense, at least it is not very pronounced, maybe I will detect it more clearly later on. Orange blossom? Maybe!
Although some notes are light this is not a light or weak scent and I’m looking forward to wearing it out and giving it a full and proper testing. Will report back.
kirian – :
I first bought a bottle of this when it was first launched by Avon and it was a regular daytime fragrance at the time. I’ve since purchaed a 2nd bottle but haven’t actually used it for ages so had forgotten what it was like. Have now been using this for a few days. I find it to be a strong woody on opening which soon turns to a powdery smell. After around 30 minutes it becomes woody floral. Projection is good and longevity is excellent. I sprayed this on at 7.00pm and could still smell this on my wrists at 7.30am the next day. Whilst this is a pleasant, non offensive scent it is not a unique fragrance. Having said that it’s a good value, cheap scent.
nekras-26-3 – :
On the sample strip, this fume is sooooo good – woodsy floral with a touch of honey. On my skin, it is pink pepper then woods with a trail of incense. No florals or honey. In the drydown, it is just dry woods, not even amber or sandalwood.
One spray on me
Sillage: nose to wrist
Longevity: about an hour
Rating: 1/5 for lack of sillage and longevity but might have been 3/5 for woodsy scent.
GeohomeSmooft – :
I purchased this bottle after I had a fling with the benzoin note, and I got it recommended here. I didn’t like it when I got it, I thought woody bezoine notes were good for autumm/damp days and that is when I used Herve Leger Femme. I wasn’t convinced, it was too sharp and a bit too chemical and made me feel slightly sick.
Now, for some reason today, warmer weather and sunny, I felt like using it. And, bang! It was lovely! I was also in quite a hot meeting this morning and I loved having this scent, made me feel clean and not too in your face. I think the warmth melows it a lot. Or maybe its y body chemistry. So for me, it works much better in wamer sunny weather.
jura_12 – :
This is gorgeous! You’d never guess it was Avon. It’s a lovely woodsy, slightly smoky floral that’s perfect for mild, sunny weather. It reminds me of late spring days when the nights are getting longer and dresses are getting shorter!
It’s so comforting to me. It’s sophisticated rather than all out glamorous and sensual rather than sexy. The florals are not too sweet and I think it could be worn by almost any age. Ive had my share of compliments while wearing it too.
Surprisingly, I find it lasts a good 4-5 hours on me. I also get a note of freshly cut grass for some reason and not much vanilla. I really think it should be in the oriental floral/ woody floral category instead of oriental vanilla.
djeyazedutUGX – :
A very intresting woody scent.i probably would’nt wear it, but i would like to have it in my collection. I would wear this fragrance if i were a sensual and voluptous blonde, i think there would be an outraging contrast that would advantge both of us, me and the scent. I already think of giving HL femme to one of my blonde friends that suits the description
Aleksandr5555 – :
My mom has this. Now if I was a woman, I personally wouldn’t wear it. Mainly because it smells so cheap.
Either way it goes, (thankfully) it doesn’t have very much projection (4 inches). Really it is a long lasting skinscent but this is NOT an overpowering fragrance at all.
It would be a good one for ladies to wear to work:)
V1per33 – :
I think this perfume is like its bottle-feminine, sensual (the pink color, the glass ribbons tied around the bottle) but with a strong, slightly masculine edge(the classic shape of the bottle).
The opening is strong, woody with a pleasant citrus freshness and bitterness ( by the way- quite realistic and natural), then I smell a shy, powdery magnolia and then again the wood but now it has changed thanks to the flowers, honey and dark vanilla.
I’d say it’s a deep, tempting and unusual perfume, It’s like the great French classic perfumes. It was quite difficult to believe it was by Avon. Definitely a gem!
dotoBillipt – :
Not very Avony at all. The more I smell it, the more I like it! I wouldn’t say it’s a stand out fragrance but it is a very pleasant, safe scent. Something you could wear to work and it would get noticed without it being overpowering. The general aura of it is woody but closer to the skin there’s a fruity/floralness. Someone said it’s a bit like an incomplete Dior Dolce Vita & I can see the similarity – the top notes are very similar but I would say that even though this fragrance has a bit of sparkle in the top notes it’s not as sparkling as Dolce Vita. Once it settles to the base all the similarities are gone. This definately has more class than your celebs or cheapies.
Lasts all day – I would say after quite a few hours this becomes almost unisex.
Be warned – don’t spray too much. Too much of this made me feel a bit sick.
Update: Today I tested Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude and it reminded me of this.
Aerohoplenerigcq – :
Horrible perfume…. I bought this once and I regretted spending my money on this..
ivba – :
This scent works really well on my skin. It smells warm and sexy and inviting. I dare say mature, but not in a matronly way. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it when I’ve worn it out. Not a scent you typically find out there nowadays, I suppose. One spritz is all you need as it can be a bit strong and it lasts for hours. Sometimes I’ll spray it on a scarf and I’ll be able to smell it for weeks lingering in the fabric. It’s just wonderful.
kirill2009 – :
I am sorry but on me and also on my daughter it’s nothing beautiful with this perfume, it smells awful. I gave it away.
I can’t really describe the smell but it’s something woody and horrible and some awful smelling white flowers, no vanilla at all.
albek – :
A beautiful scent but not for my skintype. On my this one turns unisex and the Cedar is shining too much on me. I do have a problem with some woodsy-notes, they don’t smell good on me. This is a lovely scent on paper and on my friend who tried it today.
En underbar doft men inte för min hudtyp. På mig förvandlas den till en unisex och Ceder lyser igenom lite för mycket på mig. Jag har problem med en del tränoter, dom doftar inte gott på mig, helt enkelt. Detta är en jättefin doft när jag provar den på papper. Min kompis provade den idag och på henne doftar den jättefint.

I bought 2 bottles, I think that herve leger is the parfum that a man would wear if he were turned into a woman, I mean, totsie!!!! jajaja, not!! seriously, this fragance is for a high target and mature mind, but not boring o too sweet. I love it, and I always receive compliments by men… so try it if your skin is suitable for the notes
varloon – :
At this time, my boss knows how much I love perfumes so she brought this in as well as True Love. This perfume smelled expensive and very different which I love! I wanted to buy it online but I couldn’t find it so my boss gave it to me! I was so grateful! Best boss everrrr!
morzeti1 – :
This scent is quite nice. Different from all the other avon perfumes. It has a gentle but just right sillage don’t spray too much because it can be very overpowering it has excellent longevity on me lasts 8hours plus on my skin. It has a powdery woodsy smell. Nice
ludana – :
Herve Leger opens with a beautiful woodsy note mixed to a lightly sweet floral note. It is quite complex and I can’t really detect any particular “ingredient”. It is very pleasant but somewhat average, and verging a little towards chewing gum.
mulberryes – :
I bought this on a whim because I loved the smell of the men’s cologne so much, I had hopes that the perfume for women would be in the same ballpark. Fail. I gave this away to a coworker because every time I wore it, I ended up with a huge headache. To its credit, it does last a long time. To me, it is floral powdery cleanerish. Just too much for me. I think on the right person, this would smell amazing.
Kreoss – :
This fragrance gets compliments whenever I wear it. It lasts all day. It is more suitable for cooler weather ( I think). Say what you will about Avon fragrance. This woodsy scent is a gem.

luntik-x – :
I’m not a big fan of Avon as all of their fragrances have that ‘avon note’ I can’t put my finger on. It’s something soapy/sweet and synthetic that is is most of their fragrances and most of them end up smelling the same to me/bland.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by this cheap and cheerful scent – I am also surprised that noone found any comparison to Dior Dolce Vita – I think it smells a lot like an incomplete dupe for it. Look at the notes – so many of them are duped.
It’s a little bit too sweet for my liking, but I like the woodsy notes as well as benzoin (which I love!)a lot. I think it’s a very well done fragrance from Avon and a great ‘to go’, ‘keep in your purse’ no brainer fragrance for daytime.
damir007danirrr – :
I also really like this perfume, which I got a bottle of a couple of weeks ago when it was on offer in one of the Avon brochures. I couldn’t resist such a good deal, and I had smelled it on a ‘sniff patch’ (or whatever they’re called!) in a previous brochure and found it very appealing.
Firstly, the bottle is very nice, classy and, of course, based on Herve Leger’s bandage dresses. So, it’s one of those perfume bottles that is nice to have out and to admire whenever you look at it!
The perfume itself is also very classy and feminine and smells expensive. I agree with one review here which said it’s reminiscent of Estee Lauder Sensuous. I was thinking exactly the same thing as it’s quite a deep yet soft, woodsy kind of scent which I think smells very soft, slightly powdery, feminine and sexy.
Amongst the soft, fluffiness of this scent there’s a freshness which presumably is the grapefruit but on my skin it’s not harsh, as it seems to be on some of the other reviewers. It just adds a shot of freshness to the sweet, woodsy powderiness and makes the perfume smell soft and clean. On my skin I also don’t really detect the smokiness or spiciness that some other women smell in it, and I definitely think it’s far more womanly than being unisex! Oh, and, again unlike what some other reviewers have said (sorry, I don’t disagree with everything though!!) I think it’s soft enough, and not overpowering in any way, to be worn anytime – day, afternoon or night! It manages to be demure yet sexy at the same time so it could work well anytime.
The only slightly annoying thing about this perfume is that it doesn’t come in a bigger bottle, but then I’ve noticed that, for some strange reason, all of Avon’s perfumes only go up to 50ml (1.70z) sizes. They really need to start doing bigger bottles!
outfictit – :
I love this fragrance. Very woodsy and lightly floral. Somewhat light and powdery too. Soo not my usual type I go for but I tried a sample and just had to have it. Looking forward to getting my 3rd bottle. If I’m honest something in it reminds me of colouring crayons? Not sure why but its a good thing. Really lasts well so be careful how much you spray. Also as another reviewer said becareful not to get it on clothes as it willl stay there for ages after washing them.
drab600 – :
Love this perfume ,is considers a strong scent,when wearing this scent i always get compliments even from strangers.Stays forever on your cloths so be careful not to spray alot.
vano000007 – :
The first avon that I earned and the worst smell I’ve ever felt, a bouquet floral powdery that gave me a lot of headache
Gartguantee – :
Great parfum, exotic and strong. The best of Avon.
welzool – :
I got a generous sample in a swap so my review is based on three wearings. This is the first Avon I’ve tried and I am positively surprised by the quality. It has good projection (going strong 4h after application) and lasts good 8h on me.
Unfortunately this is pure grapefruit hell on me. The cypress& magnolia accords are beautiful, but the grapefruit note is STRONG and surprisingly longlasting. Worth trying if you like grapefruit-floral-woody scents. I strongly dislike grapefruit (to put it mildly) so this is not for me. But at least it reduced my Avon prejudices.
flexton – :
When first applied, Herve Leger has a pronounced, unpleasant smoke note, almost like cigarette smoke. Thankfully, that fades quickly, and it becomes a dark floral. I feel the magnolia the most. Soon, it begins to warm and the wood and benzoin take center stage. A sweet powdery vanilla is in the background, with a dustiness that must be cypress. Once it gets to this stage, I like it very much.
Longevity is about 4 hours on my skin before it’s only faintly detectable. Sillage is soft, except just after spraying.
Thanks to AddictedToLife for sending me a decant! I am going to try your suggestion of wearing it over something vanilla–I think that will be gorgeous!
slavjanin21 – :
A pleasant surprise as it’s very unusual from Avon. Definitely woodsy-powdery, which is my favorite combination. Benzoin has a sweet, warm and a bit of vanilla-like aroma, which is a great counterweight to the slight hint of grapefruit as well as the green notes like cypress. Unique and satisfyingly long-lasting (compared to other Avon products).
(BTW I heard someone say that it’s similar to Eau des Merveilles, but I can’t confirm it because I haven’t smelled that perfume yet.)
ZSaqmD – :
Just got my bottle today…and its beautiful! Soft, refined, elegant. Makes me feel special 🙂
buksirprovorny – :
i love herve so much! i dropped my bottle & damaged it & it wont spray anymore, i can get some drops out if i tip it upside down…there is nearly half left! ugh!!! i ordered 2 more bottles, love it so much!
MartinaBrkla – :
This was marked down,so I got it. This smells like a sweaty,unwashed person,wearing dirty clothes. The pink juice is attractive,but that’s the only thing I like about it. I thought it would be woodsy,but I didn’t get that at all. For me,this perfume just doesn’t make sense.
kabal – :
Spicy, woody, musky and sensual all in a bottle.
I really like this fragrance. It reminds me so much of Sensuous by Estee Lauder which I love only Sensuous has a bit more of a richer scent.
Definitely worth the price (got it on special offer) and definitely my type of sophisticated scent.
hesoyam563 – :
I knew I would love this scent. It’s an easy pretty woody-floral, with a nice cypress note making it that bit different.
I really don’t feel much of a vanillic quality to this, the benzoin isn’t that predominant on me. What I feel is the soft magnolia, woody note and cypress. Very nice fragrance and a steal from Avon.
irortixarinly – :
Still forming an opinion on this one. I bought it (when it was on sale) based on the rave reviews here, and the fact that several of the notes work on me. It started out spicey (someone else said pink pepper, and I agree–I got peppery notes; and I’ve been sneezing!–even though that’s not listed). Then it quickly died down to almost nothing; now it is lingering gently with a vanilla-powder scent with a touch of woodines that is almost like hazelnut (I know, weird). That’s what a smell on my wrist. I also spritzed my torso, so when I move I get whiffs of amber/musk as well wafting up on occaison. To me, the sillage is low–I have to press my nose to my wrist to smell it; but as I said, it does waft up from my clothes. It’s been on me for about 3 hours and there is a faint (but not neccesarily fading) fragrance still present. I did put several spritzes on this morning (2-3, followed by 2-3 more spritzes after 30 min when I felt it first start to fade); I should have brought the bottle to work.
Yesterday, I spritzed this on a tissue and smelled musky, vanilla-floral with almost tobacco-smokey undertones; it was still on the tissue when I got home 12 hours later. The fragrance is very different on my skin than on the tissue; I wonder if this might have better sillage and better longevity if I spritzed my hair and clothes.
I’m not entirely dissapointed, but was hoping for a stronger scent that worked better with my chemistry.
EDIT: It definitely starts with a tobacco smoke note in the very beginning, then on to peppery (possibly thats the citrus that I smell), and then on to vanilla woods. It dries down to a very faint ambery-woody-vanilla that is pleasant. I think I’ll keep it, especially since I think it will be an even better as it starts to cool down this fall.
Radi0rash – :
The first thing I notice is the blonde woody smell I get from this, I don’t think that their is any knida of woood so their you go. Its a very elegent more muture smell. With slight soft floral and slight sweetness. Unfornately with most Avon perfume this did end up with short silage and alcholic smell after awhile. But mostly nice!
heckfy – :
I guess it’s just me but all I can smell is pink pepper that’s all, strange enough it’s not even a listed not honestly I don’t smell any other note nothing it’s not to my taste a bit to spicy for me
Viniscekenafe – :
This starts out lovely on my skin, alot like Estee Lauder sensuous, slightly smoky magnolia, benzoin, honey and musk but unfortunately within minutes I get thick nauseating bubblegum. I have parted with my gift-set.
FDFKJD – :
Benzoin, cypress, woods and some floral (magnolia), are the only four notes that I can identify.
It opens with cypress and benzoin very strong, then the cypress gets softer, and gives way for floral and woody notes, then we still have a strong benzoin, woods and floral that lasts until the scent disappears.
It is a scent a little strong for a morning, I think it is ideal for afternoon and evening.
The longevity is impressive (for an Avon), my skin takes about 8-9 hours, which is normal for an EDP, but not for Avon.
Talleyuploamp – :
AVONS’ Herve Leger Femme is simply stunning,the opening is fresh..pink grapefruit,and slightly sweet..vanilla,but the Magic happens once Femme transitions into the honeyed woods note that makes this eau de parfum sooo intoxicating and addictive,the bottle itself is also beautiful,representing Herve Legers’ signature bandage dress,Femme is one of my personal favorites…Paris chic in a bottle!!
Марсель 007 – :
One of the best perfumes from Avon in my opinion.
Quite bold wood with some touch of sweetness is main characteristics of Herve Leger Femme. The sweetness at the beginning is floral and it turns creamy and smokey in drydown, also strong benzoin notes appear. Cypress note on my skin opens only in warm circumstance or when having some kind of physical exertion, but as told before this fragrance is all about wood. Although all notes blend beautifully there is not much sophistication in the aroma, it is quite bold and rather loud but not in a cheap way, so perfect companion for random dressing up or playing femme fatale. Actually it is quite unique fragrance.
Sillage is not very strong, staying power is around six hours (four to six hours it is quite strong, six to eight it is still there) and longer on clothes, but it is not worth it as Herve Leger Femme opens way more interesting on skin.
Booxboxydap – :
It’s always interesting to see how differently perfumes play out on different people’s skin and according to their nose. To me, HERVE LEGER FEMME is a floriental with a very strong benzoin presence. It opens smoothly and deliciously and dries down almost as a light benzoin skin scent with a touch of woodiness. I do not detect magnolia at all, to be honest.
Anyone who loves benzoin will surely like this composition. It has a seductive quality which is at once simple yet appealing, like the glimmer of shiny brass candlestick. I am not sure that I need to acquire a full bottle of HERVE LEGER FEMME, since I already have some good benzoin-centric perfumes, but I have enjoyed wearing this sample.
OmiteVefOrata – :
I had previously owned this beautiful fragrance but along with a few other Avon scents had to give it away. I loved the samples I received but sadly, once I ordered the bottle, it just didn’t mix well with me at all. But at least I made another woman happy and it smelled great on her. Very innovative bottle design by Herve Leger in conjunction with Avon!
rusava2873 – :
Is used to have Animale Temptation and I think they smell very alike!
Farb-X85 – :
today is my first time wearing this and i do like it. it lasts incredibly long on me too. this reminded me of something when i first put it on and i couldn’t place it. but, i’ve come to the conclusion that this (to my nose) smells like a light version of jontue. this is crisp and light and florally. then it gets a little sharpness from the wood and cypress notes (in a good way). i only get a hint of the citrus and really don’t find the vanilla in this, but to me its just fine and sophisticated. i just love the staying power. i’ve had this one for over 5 hrs and it still smells fresh.
nata54s – :
it literally makes me smell like a grandma in an insulting stereotypical way…..no im not insulting grandmas i love mine very much….someone told me i smell like their grandma i said oh u like her perfume he said no dude u smell old i was like wow….it doesnt work with my body chemistry a all
miha_1 – :
This is a scent that really pleasantly surprised me, and I love when perfumes do that.
I actually enjoyed this perfume enough to purchase a full bottle a while ago, and at its bargain price, it’s definitely worth it.
HLF starts out with a semi-sharp citrus blast and a distinct spiciness. The creaminess of the magnolia and the orange blossom compliment this very well.
In the dry down there is a wispy hint of sweet and smooth vanilla and a spicy, woodsy scent.
HLF has a cologne edge to this scent throughout, and it smells very unisex to me.
This fragrance isn’t really an overly warm one, but it is cozy and has very interesting little nuances to it.
I would have liked a little more vanilla in here, but it’s very pretty, even with just a small touch of it.
HLF has good longevity on my skin, lasting upwards of 6 hours. And for the first 3-4 hours it boasts excellent sillage too.
This perfume is a little gem.
M-L – :
Smokey woods. Unusual. Smells expensive. I liked it and it felt good to wear but wouldn’t say it’s a favourite.
sanya. – :
I dont entirely dislike this fragrance, and it does not smell cheap at all, but its not sophisticated either…
On me, it smells woody and smoky, lightly floral. During drydown, it goes slightly powdery and kind of dusty.
I cant help it, but when I wear it I think I smell like I have just smoked a cigarette, it doesnt smell bad, I enjoy this particular smoky scent…maybe its the benzoin note that is doing this?
I didnt get any vanilla or grapefruit. There is nothing creamy or fruity in this one…
The bottle is to die for, just lovely and so chic! Reminiscent of Herve Leger famous bandage dresses..
Muxammad69 – :
veeery woodsy, i can t barely smell anything else, than the woods ! the opening is fine, fresh and a bit sweet due the magnolia but then: far tooo woody, even a bit mossy to my nose.
i m missing something floral or juicy… where is the jasmine and the vanilla gone on me? 🙁 hmmm strange perfume, maybe it’s my chemistry, it doesn t work for me unfortunately. to me this could easely be a male fragrance. it seems to work very well on others by reading the bunch of glorious reviews about it !
now the woodsy notes are very nice powdery and creamy, it could be nice underlayered with another perfume, which one hasn t such a intense basenote to add some depht… bottle very nice. i also own the été version, which one is quite richer an nicer on me.
RouletteXpert – :
It’s a scent soft like purple angora fabric scarf:). First gentle whif is litlle citrusy but immediately turns into decided floral wave. This is something between lilac/magnolia (they are simmilar a little for me) and jasmine – althought most of this things are not present in the composition. When this flowery stage calms down (but last gently still) vanilla takes the leading. All stages are smoked by woody feeling, this makes it so cosy and elegant I think. I couldn’t resist similarity to DVB Intimately and kind of “gentle Pure Poison” expressions. Very feminie and quite longlasting composition. This is not kind of my personal feminity but I like it on my friends 🙂

Herve Leger is one of my favorite perfumes and also most noted by those around me. Everybody ask me what perfume I`m wearing. I love floral but woody but at the same time. which obviously makes a noticeable fragrance. I started the fourth bottle.

BlackOrchid – :
I am writing a comment on the perfume HERVE LEGER FEMME AVON Eau de parfum 50 ml. I read many good and positive reviews on this perfume on the net and i was really excited to buy it becoz actually its on sale 50% from the avon brochure. I went with my avon representative to the avon shop to try a sample. Let me tell u that ive been really DISAPPOINTED when i smell it. It is a very STRONG perfume which has a STRANGE kind of smell! I am someone who likes strong perfumes with lasting power but this perfume has made me nauseous and im confident that if i wear that perfume for a long drive, i am going to puke for sure! When i returned back home, i went to wash my hands first thing to remove that perfume becoz i cant stand the smell of that perfume! I washed my hands SEVERAL times with gelwash and even then, i could still smell that weird smell on my hands!!!!!!!
Now im not going to rely on any comment that i read on the net. Its good to have an opinion from different persons using a product but my advice to u gals is to never ‘BUY A PERFUME WITHOUT TRYING A SAMPLE OR TESTER’. If i had bought that perfume, i would really regret it and im sure i would have got rid of it! Instead ive bought eternal magic Avon Eau de Toilette which is a sweet perfume, its very similar to hypnose lancome. If u like hypnose, u are going to like it for sure.
