In 2007, Ralph Lauren Corporation acquired the NBC share of RL Media and the website was relaunched as ralphlauren.com. In September 2015, it was announced that Stefan Larsson would replace the company’s founder, Ralph Lauren, as CEO in November. Lauren stayed on as executive chairman and chief creative officer.

It’s very pretty, sweet, floral, woodsy and quite wearable. Matches with casual clothing or semi formal blouses and dresses. When i was at the mall 2-3 months ago i was sniffing my way around the perfume counters with a sales associate tailing me trying to sell me on certain frags. She held up RL woman and told me to try it and i politely declined. I hadn’t smelled anything that i loved by RL since Ralph when i was 18. I had gotten a magazine with the insert inside and decided to smell it without being pressured to buy it.
This still has mass market appeal, but it doesn’t smell like generic fragrance counter perfume. Though I do like some of the older RL perfumes, I haven’t really been into any of the fruit cocktail perfumes they’ve released post-2000. This is a beautiful tuberose that, to me, smells like a throwback to their earlier style yet still totally modern. The fresh rhubarb note is very nice too and a huge bonus is that unlike the majority of new releases, the sillage and longevity with this one is great! This fragrance starts off with grape flavored candies, which I assume is a combination of the pear and the black currant on the top of the rhubarb.
Ralph usually delivers a creative and quality made product that does not disappoint , and this one is an absolute winner for me. I do really like the notes, but there is a synthetic smell to my nose that I can’t deal with. I commented a while back that a sample of this perfume reminded me of talcum powder too much for me to use (it’s the Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt type of perfume to give me a headache). Well, I wound up giving the sample to my mom, who likes those types of scents . I completely forgot about that perfume until I smelled Woman and it just hit me down the memory lane! I could not place it at first and identify where I felt this scent before, but now I think it’s just like LBD.
Lately I have been staying away from floral perfumes and moving towards really saccharine and musky perfumes. This one is for sure more sweet than you would think. Ralph Lauren describes this as a magnetic “blend of florals and sandalwood.” Magnetic is a great description! This is the most unique perfume in my collection and I am really enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong, I love to smell fresh and clean. Woman by Ralph Lauren fits this bill perfectly.
STRONG. I’ve been smelling this all night long from one sample spray on the back of my hand. It starts with a strong, fruity rhubarb note, then transforms into musk and white flowers. I don’t find this fragrance to be something new. It’s like the top note of Sì Passione and the middle note of Crystal Noir glued together, and the glue is a subtle version of Angel Muse on my skin. However, I believe that this fragrance can be a good option for the summer evening. If you are looking for fragrances that aren’t cloying but still sweet, or something you can wear as a go-to scent for casual occasions, you wouldn’t regret trying this one out.
Solid 6 hour wear on my skin, projection is arms length. I want a back up; most scents I love go into extinction as soon as I discover them. It is fresh, beautiful – clean beach near the sea — with a slight uplifting note of something like peppermint tea in the mix.
Sweeter and softer than Diptyque’s Do Son, or other more expensive tubereoe focused scents. Great transition fragrance for daytime office to evening, dinner soirée. I couldn’t find this in the shops where I live so I blind bought it online from UK and don’t regret it for one ralph lauren t shirt second! Beautiful perfume, a must for lovers of floral perfumes. This is a very pretty scent, it is light and classy. And, important note, I really like the minimalist bottle design with the hip-flask style bronze cap, very reminiscent of the old and iconic Safari bottle.
