Femmenina perfume & oil haul ˖ . ݁𝜗𝜚. ݁₊

Body Oils :

Strawberry Poundcake Body Oil 10/10 ~ This is definitely one of Femmenina's best scents, and I can't believe it's never talked about really. So underrated! I have the perfume, so I already knew I'd love the body oil as well, and it smells exactly the same. I could smell this before even opening the bottle 😅. It smells exactly like strawberry cake, but it's a bit powdery at the same time, almost nostalgic. This reminds me of strawberry shortcake dolls. It's perfection. I'm sad they don't sell the perfume version anymore, and all of their stuff sells out constantly because I'd use them 24/7 otherwise.

Vanilla Rock Candy Sugar Body Oil 8.5/10 ~ I actually wanted the perfume of this; ): however, like pretty much everything else, it was out of stock, so I got the body oil instead. I have the perfume this was inspired by (Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42), but it's quite expensive to regularly repurchase, and I'm currently looking for a dupe alternative and was super excited to try this one. It definitely smells pretty close to it. It's just missing a little something... like the syrupy/spiciness the Kayali one has? which I feel like is what made that one unique. It's also very light, to the point where I have to put my nose directly up to it to smell, which is the main issue I have with it because the Kayali one is beast mode compared to this lol. I do like it, though; it smells like a light bubblegum & candy combo. ♡ I feel like the perfume version would've been way better tbh.

Pink Sugar Body Oil 9/10 ~ I love, love, love this one; it's one of my top 5 as well. I'm a little confused by this one, though. So there's a "Pink Sugar" and a "Seductive Pink Sugar." I have the seductive one in the perfume form and LOVED it. I was going to buy the seductive oil, but it wasn't in stock, and only the perfume was. Then I noticed they had the regular Pink Sugar in oil form, but not in the perfume. 😭 Girl, when I say everything was out of stock. I was also under the impression pink sugar was discontinued. Anyway, I'm confused because the regular Pink Sugar smells pretty much the same as the seductive one to me, to the point where I can barely tell the difference other than maybe the seductive one smelling more musky, and I was expecting a very noticeable difference. If you love sweet, perfumey, candy-like scents and like Pink Sugar Aquolina, this would be my recommendation. So girly, sweet, light, and feminine.

Milky Perfumes:

Strawberry Tears Perfume 9/10 ~ Was pretty worried to purchase this one. Out of all the reviews I've read over the past year for this scent, it has the most polarizing reviews that I've seen from Femmenina. I swear every time someone reviewed this, they said something completely different about how it smelled, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This smells insanely good, like I'm actually shocked, and I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. 💔 To me personally it smells like sweet, powdery, milky strawberries in a perfumey way combined with a creamy vanilla and a slight woodiness on drydown and It's actually decently strong. It's insanely well done, and now I need it in the oil & body butter IMMEDIATELY!!! I've never tried the Melanie Martinez perfume, so I'm not sure how well of a dupe it is in that regard. I just really liked the scent itself. It reminds me of a pink fairy, very beautiful. 🧚🌷

Sweet Cream Version 1 Perfume 6/10 ~ This one smelled like caramel syrup to me with A LOT of musk. It was honestly too musky for my liking and had a funky undertone to it (almost masculine), but overall smelled pretty unique. The best way I can describe it is that it smells like a caramel coffee with dark roast, if you know what I mean... the longer it dried on my skin, the less it smelled like coffee and the more it turned into a light vanilla smell, almost sunscreen-like, like the dry-down in vanilla lace. I love vanilla lace, but it's not what I was expecting.

Sweet Cream Version 2 Perfume 9/10~ YESS!! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! Version 2 wins by a landslide for me 🤤. This is exactly how I imagined it smelling. That strong musk is gone, and you get a lot more of the rich milky caramel syrup. If you've smelled Lataffa Eclaire, it smells identical to that basically, and I love that scent sm. This one stayed the same and didn't dry down light like version 1. This one truly smells like an iced caramel latte and not too musky or masculine. I did take a few points off because I have the OG sweet cream, and imo it still smells the best and is a 10/10. I think they had to stop making it because of formulation issues with it expiring/separating too much, which I understand.

Looking for reviews on these scents!! ♡🍰

I'm planning on making a bulk order during Black Friday once they start the sales. I would looove in depth reviews specifically on any of these scents I've provided in the pictures 💕.. these are currently the only older Femmenina scents I haven't tried so I'd love to eventually try them all. Although, I know some are discontinued now (,: let me know if any are worth hunting down. I've bought some perfumes on Depop/Mercari, but It's so rare that I see the ones I'm actually looking for lol.

For reference: I love any kind of vanilla scent, sweet scents in general, wether it be candy-like or a bakery vibe, warm/fall scents, fruity & musk/woodiness I also don't mind as long as there's other notes in there that balance it out well.

Things I dislike: Super powdery florals like rose for example(basically scents that give grandma), heavy black currant notes, super citrusy smells (mostly lemon). I love Lush Supermilk which is like a creamy lemon scent or sugary lemon is fine, but just straight up fresh citrus I'm not the biggest fan of if that makes sense! Tyy in advance 🥺.

Femmenina samples!!

୨୧ ₊˚ I know lots of you have been asking about samples since Femmenina doesn't offer them. If you've been wanting to try a scent before committing to a full-size bottle, I highly recommend checking out this shop if you haven't already! ♡

The prices are very fair, they ship internationally, and it's such a lovely way to experience the scents before deciding which ones deserve a spot in your collection ˖ ꒰𑁬 ♡ ໒꒱ ˖ .

Do body mists need to sit?

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but it's a genuine question because I've heard people saying this before, but I didn't think it was actually true 😭. I ordered all the mists from the new Dulce collection, and they're SO light I literally can't even smell them. The only one I can kind of smell at all is the vanilla one, and for the first 20 minutes it's just straight alcohol. By the time the alcohol fades, the scent is pretty much gone?? Am I missing something... do you guys let them sit and then come back to them in a few months? I'm so disappointed. I have a big VS collection, & I've never been this let down by a whole entire line! Even my 3+-year-old fragrances aren't this weak. I've seen a bunch of good reviews for them as well.

My VS haul order for the new scents!! woohoo

Soo excited to try these! I'm most excited for the whipped ones ( I was soo tempted to buy the whole line) as well as the pumpkin vanilla because I've heard that it smells very spicy, like pumpkin pie, and I've been waiting so long for the fall scent drops. If you've bought any of these, which ones are your favorites? I also bought the matching Halloween set in the scent "Hey Boo" in a separate order previously, and I really like the scent so far. To me, it smells like the caramel apples you would get on Halloween ❤️. I also didn't get a super alcohol heavy undertone with it like a lot of other people mentioned thankfully. I definitely have way too many mists, but I just couldn't pass up that deal lol.

In depth reviews coming soon once I receive them. (:

My reviews of discontinued(?) scents!

So I'm not actually sure if the matcha mellow is "discontiuned".. I just know you can't get it on the website, and as far as I know, the only way to get it currently is from freebies (not to be confused with matcha earth; this is a different matcha scent). I read a review of it on this subreddit from someone else that received it, and it sounded really good and unique. The other day I just went to open Depop one day, and there it is😭😭 I bought it immediately, and I'm soooo excited that I actually got it, especially if it's being discontinued. Vanilla cake, I know for sure, is. I made a previous post about this a few weeks ago. I've actually been trying to get my hands on it for like a year and finally got it off Mercari, so I figured I'd include them both and review them in a post together ^_^. Sadly I don't know the notes for these since they're not available online. I'll try to explain it to them the best I can based on what I'm smelling.

Matcha Mallow ♡ 8.5/10 ~ I smelled the cap, and this smelled SO FREAKING GOOD and unique. I've never smelled anything like it. 90% of the scents I wear are very sweet, vanilla, dessert-y, or bakery-type smells, and I have never liked matcha or citrus smells much. However, I loved this when I sprayed it, oh my god. You do get a bit of a matcha smell, but it's very faint, imo. It's like a creamy, slightly powdery, lactonic drink. I do also get a tiny bit of citrus that kind of reminds me of cereal at first. Which I definitely wasn't expecting and really enjoyed. When it fully dries down, it gets more citrusy than creamy; I would say to me that it smells like a powdery lemon & orange on full dry down, and I'm picky with citrus, which is why I rated this a bit lower afterwards. I personally prefer the initial spray over the full drydown, but I still adored this, and it really does smell like the picture on the bottle. They did so good with this scent. Although they are definitely different smells, I would say the closest comparison based on their other scents would be fruity cream. Except this one is 100x better, imo. It's still a bit mature and powdery without smelling like a grandma to me, and it's refreshing. This is going to be amazing for spring/summer seasons. It seems like Femmenina is doing a lot more unique scents for their new releases; I can't wait to do a big order soon!!!!! ❣️

Good projection—people will be able to smell you when you walk by.

Vanilla cake ♡ 9/10 ~ I was expecting this one to smell stronger, but it smells pretty much exactly how I imagined! It doesn't have as many notes as the matcha one based on what I'm picking up, so this will be a shorter review. I get a kind of shortbread & sprinkles with whipped cream smell, and I feel like it smells pretty similar to their coconut crème pie one, actually. The only difference is this one just smells like a straight-up birthday cake instead of coconut; it reminds me exactly of birthday cake candles or the bagged confetti cake mix powder.

Skin scent—doesn't project as much

Perfumes that smell like Maple Cream & Chai?

i've heard maple cream & chai is getting discontinued and It's one of my favorites 😭 i know it was unpopuluar, but it was such a perfect long lasting fall scent imo and i got the most compliments on it. does anyone know if it's a dupe for something? i know a lot of femmenina's scents are either a dupe for high end/popular perfumes or at least inspired by them. i've included the notes as well if anyone knows anything with similar notes!!

I FINALLY GOT IT

I've been trying to get vanilla cake for agessss since it's been discontinued for so long and I finally got my hands on it from someone not reselling it for a crazy amount 😭 😭 i can't believe it. the label is a bit worn off & It's a bit used, but there's still a ton left!! (over halfway full).

review coming soon when i'm not sick :> from the little bit I can smell in the cap though it does smell good, similar to their strawberry poundcake (cakey and kinda powdery) except a vanilla version

New femmenina scent reviews?

Hiiii! has anyone received any of the new scents from the new drop? I'm super curious about lavender gelato, sunkissed skin, and strawberry lace, but would love to hear any reviews since there's not really any on the website rn <33.

Okay, I know this one is a bit overhyped to some people. I smelled it for the first time, and I'm OBSESSED with it. I'm not a banana-scent gal usually, but I'm a baker and love this scent; it reminds me of baking banana bread with icing, and now I need this as a perfume and lotion immediately. Any recommendations? I was so disappointed when I checked the BBW page and they didn't have the scent in body care!
