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 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.
It’s sweet, very sweet actually, but retains that nice shampoo freshness that keeps it from being cloying. Even though this perfume isn’t “me” since it’s a bit on the sweet side, I must say that it is nice. I picture a mature older woman in a fragrance Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt like this. I adore tuberose and pear together and this has a soft vanilla under that. To me this is a summer-fall transitional fragrance. It reminds me of the kind of fragrances I started out wearing when I first got into perfumes in the late 90ties.
I love the smell of these fragrances, but can’t wear them as a signature – for this very reason. They become fragrances that I will occasionally wear, even though I may like some of the notes within them. The second and final stage sees the pear and black currant on its way out, and the tuberose and orange blossom are joined by warm yet subtle hazelnut and some woodiness. This second and final stage is warm and somewhat smooth; its the exact opposite of the beginning. This was recommended to me multiple times based on others in my collection. I’m really trying to figure out why they recommend it so highly?
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 ralph lauren t shirt them. It is fresh, beautiful – clean beach near the sea — with a slight uplifting note of something like peppermint tea in the mix.
Not a fan of tuberose, but this one is bearable, being more into the soft and creamy zone. Opens up tuberosy a la Tresor de Lancome and it settles immediately into a creamy, sweet skin scent. Then the scene is ready for the rose, it’s what gives that nice sweet warm feeling.
