So sad because I really really really love this scent, but I’ve given up on it lasting on polo dress shirts me. This could easily turn to a love for me. I will be wearing it a little more often.
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?
Sparkly is hard to achieve without aldehydes or citrus, but this pear absolutely sparkles. For me, as the drydown progresses, the pear stays as the standout note. Because it becomes soloed out, it does feel slightly more synthetic, but not to a fault. As for woody notes, I really don’t get any. Perhaps some sandalwood in the base, but not the woodiness I was expecting, which I like.
It is a beautiful scent, no doubt about that. For me, it invokes an image of a well groomed, impeccably styled woman dressed in designer clothes. Someone who will lunch at the country club and go yachting in the Hamptons. It’s pretty easy to find and sample before purchasing, but for those contemplating a blind buy it reminds me of Burberry for women mixed with J’adore absolu.
I also don’t get a distinct hazelnut, more wood on my skin. On my skin I get soft, mild Tuberose and warm woodsy notes, an airy sweet not as well – maybe the pear/rhubarb-mix. I might buy a bottle – I think this scent will be at its best in springtime. It is not really new as composition but it satisfies my recent passion for creamy white florals, without being too voluptuous and without that critical indolic note.
I am 34 and i love a variety of frags from super sweet to musky to woody. RL woman is classy and beautiful and also one of my absolute favorites. Overall, perfume with great longevity, smells very clean. Love the bottle and the fact that it isn’t another syrupy sweet perfume too. But I wish the pear note lasted longer to balance out the heavy white floral smell of tuberose. A pretty fragrance with lots of florals mingled with a touch of sweet pear.
I wear it at work but it is not a work perfume. Woman by Ralph Lauren by Ralph Lauren is a Floral fragrance for women. Woman by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Anne Flipo.
After the rhubarb fades, it’s mostly a tuberose scent which is easier to wear. The dry down is nice with hazelnut and sandalwood. I just can’t get past the rhubarb opening, so I’ll have to pass on this one. It is rare for me to not fall in love with anything from Ralph Lauren , but this fragrance does not inspire me . I love gardenias and white flowers in nature and life, but in perfume they are sometimes too intense .
But I love the bottle, have to admit it is unique and classy. The bottle and product packaging raises the bar – and is lovely. Ralph Lauren has always done a very good job styling their products in a way where they are easily marketed and have a wide appeal for commercial success.
