Quimbaya Femme
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 isn't anything special. Except for the under utilized black current in the opening, it's 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 Homme–Homme 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 floral–one of many and average in every way. But it's 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 bya 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.
