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.
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 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.
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 .
Ralph Lauren perfumes are normally so boring or generic but this is like crack in a bottle. I love both, and I think RL Woman will become a classic. I’m hoping for a wintery/intense/absolu version, maybe with the hazelnut note really amped up as I cannot smell it here.
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.
I just got this today after sampling at Ulta. I love RL perfumes and i liked Woman enough to snag a tester bottle at a great price online. It opens with pure tuberose and dries down to a sweeter creamy nutty scent. It has decent sillahe and longevity too.
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.
Just a simple sweet white floral fruity floral and nutty-woody scent. These are all pop fragrance words I could throw but it’s more than the sum of it’s parts. It goes on quite strong at first so you only need a spray or two. Once it mellows down, it’s a gorgeous floral, fruity, and slightly woodsy fragrance.
