Quimbaya Femme by Jean Pascal

ole school florals accompanied by blackcurrent. which i smell the most is the blackcurrent. blended ok and a lowkey scent

Quimbaya Femme is essentially a nice fruity floral that isnt anything special. Except for the under utilized black current in the opening, its too safe a fragrance: Nothing stands out very much, the blending is uninspired, and it is neither forceful nor transparent and exists in a rather boring in between state. Quimbaya Femme is certainly less daring than Quimbaya HommeHomme actively pushes toward niche qualities with its ingredients and structure, and it has a very good light wood drydown and good longevity. Femme is simply a nice fruity floralone of many and average in every way. But its nice.

Notes: tangerine, blackcurrant, pear, mango, magnolia, jasmine, mimosa, violet.

Compared to the excellent citrusy-spicy Quimbaya homme, Quimbaya femme comes off as a bit uninspired and lacking in depth.

Quimbaya opens with decent notes of tangerine and blackcurrants - however, they are very shortlived. Soon, the middle notes show up. Mango and pear dominate...especially the mango. The mango note is the heart of this fragrance, and it smells nice. A flowery base is a nice change of pace from the usual sandalwood/vetiver/musk combo, and further solidifies this as a fruity floral offering. Longevity is lacking though.

Quimbaya femme is a fruity floral offering which comes off as a poor womans' Spring Flower. Athough its a pleasant fragrance, it lacks the excellence of its mens counterpart.

Quimbaya Femme is a pleasant, fruity floral, but I didn't think it was anything special. I mainly detect mango and pear to begin with followed by
a powdery touch of violet and hints of other flowers (mimosa, jasmine and magnolia apparently). There is certainly nothing to dislike about this one, but I like a perfume with a bit more personality.
