I think this is a really underrated scent. It seems simple, but it's elegant. It is very floral but there's a hint of citrus too.

I love O Oui. I still have this product in the frosted bottle and it was an instant hit since I bought it. To me it's light and spring scented. On me, it lasts all day. I've tried to share how pleasant an experience it is for me with others and they were turned off by it. At a department store, 2 women turned up their noses at the scent.


So, definitely try this for a day and around your loved ones before buying it. There was a note that always made it seem unique to me, and upon reading details on a fragrance site, I realized it has a vodka note. I'm not sure how they accomplish that, but yes, I think that's the part of the scent that I don't smell in other fragrances.


I'm no fragrance expert, but I detect white flowers, citrus, perhaps this vodka note, and whatever is in "clean" scents that make them smell clean. It's just light and feminine without being juvenile. It works for my chemistry and I recommend giving it a try on yours.

Bought this perfume without trying it out before hand...BIG MISTAKE

I dont know what it is but i hate it. It smells almost like burning plastic really awful , i wish i could get to like it and i have tried but i just ended up hating it even more with every time i forced myself to use it.

Annoying because there are so many great reviews about it...Seems it just doesn't work with my chemistry.

Fabulous white floral, perfectly blended. This is among the top four florals out there. Smells just like a June garden in full bloom, with lilys, roses, hyacinth, jasmin. It all blends so beautifully. Reminds me of BLU II but has lasting power and is even more sumptuous. Just slightly sweet. That wonderful flower smell surrounds you and takes you over. I have smelled a huge amount of perfumes lately, hundreds. I have spent a small fortune on samples from The Perfumed Court. There are hundreds of nice florals out there. Hohum. Whatever. This one bowled me over. I had gone to get my bottle of O de Lancome at Nordstrom, a wonderful green chypre, and this knocked my socks off when I sprayed some on. Usually I like my florals as one note soliflores, such as Muguet Blanc. But this takes it to another level. Try it. You will like it.

OMG! I loooove this perfume. Im VERY picky about scents. This smells so young/sexy/fresh/clean. Does NOT smell granny like or " sweet " as some reviewers wrote. To me sweet would be like Jlo's GLOW>... ( baaaaarf !!! ) THAT is a sweet perfume. Anyyyyyway its 65 bucks for 2.5 oz but TOTALLY worth it. I get compliments from my punk rock friends that dont like girly smells or MU.

When I first applied O - Oui, it seemed as though it might develop into something very nice and light but the sugar monster appeared and took right over. On me this is sweetness and not much else. Might still recommend to others but no sale for me.

At first sniff I thought "ozone" - it reminds me of Clinique Happy Heart (the only Happy variant I've tried and I couldn't stand it), which has a "crisp mountain air" accord. Several reviewers have referred to Happy and at least one mentions ozone, so it's not just me. It's usually an acrid, unpleasant smell for me in perfume, like getting a whiff of chlorine. I stepped outside for a few minutes after applying this, and today, the day after a hard rain, there's a smell in the air reminiscent of this accord. I enjoy it in the air, but not on my wrist. There's something about the sillage, though, when I smell this a foot away from my wrist instead of an inch away, that's fresh and lightly sweet, like spring air. And the cedar note is refreshing when it kicks in, after the dreaded ozone wears off. After an hour it's mostly sweet orange and cedar. Fans of sweet citrus and light, fresh florals might enjoy it. Definitely not for me, though!

This is called, O Oui! (or Oh, oui with the right spelling) Not Oui so the product name is wrong. This is my signature scent. I have used it since somebody bought me a bottle as a Christmas gift. I have worn it ever since. It is my second bottle and it is almost done. I have many other perfumes but I always go back to this one.I also like the body mist version of it. I spray it in my hair if I want it to stay longer because as other people said it does not have a huge staying power as it is a very light scent. It's okay, I prefer to reapply than having to carry a strong heavy smell with me however good it might smell. I guess I would say this is my perfume HG.

My signature scent. I've worn Oui since high school. It made me feel more ladylike then, and it still does. This is a perfect white flowers/citrus scene with beautiful dry-off, just lovely.

A little goes a long way, as other reviewers have said. But I've gone overboard once or twice and still, no complaints here because of the transformation of the scent, from sparkling and strong to sweet and subtle.

I wear the EDP, but I still have a bottle or two of EDT, and these are GREAT for summer.

This scent is nostalgic for me, and mood-lifting. I have gotten more compliments on this scent than ANY other. I think it's alluring....

I love this scent, it lasts for a while, it makes me feel all grown up when I wear it. It smells sophisticated (if scents can smell that way), it's difficult to describe I love this perfume.

There is a smell in this, somewhere, that I am really not sure I like. I really have to be in the mood for this. When I fancy it, I love it and can't get enough but sometimes it really makes me feel blarrgh.
The bottle doesn't really do anything for me either. It's not particuarly ugly, but it could have been far more eyecatching.
I got this bottle for very cheap (a few pounds - was half used, it was a full size tester) but I would never pay full price for it.
I can see why some people would like it and have that as their fragrance but, it's just not my cup of tea!

Not sure what notes I'm getting at first, but in the end, it's sugary citrus. I mean this in a nice way, if you can picture it. It's sweet and clean-smelling with a bitter edge that reminds of orange rind. I won't buy this to wear, but I'll wear out my sample. If there are really white flowers in here, they aren't getting in my face. Pleasant and inoffensive.

Fresh and clean, fun, citrusy and girly, though at times it tends to give me a headache. I sprayed through the first bottle like there was no tomorrow but when I acquired the second bottle, something changed -- not sure if it's my taste that has changed or if I moved on to greener pastures. I still spray this on occasion, though I find that I have been mostly using Oui to deodorize my car. For that reason, I will not repurchase.

This is one of my favourites. Crisp, clean, fresh with white flowers and grapefruit. I like that it is a fresh scent yet has some more intriguing notes that makes it stand out. I got this when it was first released and have repurchased it 3 or 4 times since. This feels nice all year and I love that it's not too heavy to wear in summer. The bottle is simple and stylish, no muss no fuss but still a good shape/feel. I think this is one of very few scents I could buy for someone else and they wouldn't hate it... :)

This came out when I was just 16, but I only got the bucks to buy this when I turned 19. Been wearing it on and off since then and therefore, I may be a little biased towards this. This is a 'cool' fragrance that is suitable for the most humid days. Composed of top notes of Bergamot and other citrus notes, mixed with Vodka, with other crisp fruits like pear and pineapple, layered on delicate white petals of water lily and hyacinth. The base is very faint, mostly soft musk and generic woods. This is for strictly for girls who enjoy their effervescent top and heart notes more than the (usually) more voluptuous base notes that you get with other scents and not this. Like most citruses, this one has the potential to turn sour with the wrong chemistry, so beware. Otherwise, it is well-balanced, not too sweet, not too floral. I remember the advert very well when it first came out in 1998 - everything was young, white and ethereal, with an air of quiet optimism - think Claire Danes in Romeo & Juliet. The advert suits the fragrance perfectly, IMHO. Unfortunately they changed the bottle from a flat, frosted packaging to an ordinary-looking, squarish bottle which misses the whole frosted quality that makes this scent so special. But will continue buying, if only for the nostalgia.

I really like this, but unfortunately it has almost zero staying power. Only 30 minutes after spraying and it has absolutely disappeared from my skin. I knew from researching Oui that it was a light fragrance, so I sprayed it on very heavily and it still vanished. This has never happened to me with any other fragrance! It's too bad since it's such a pretty scent, but not worth purchasing since I can't even smell it after such a short time.
