I will say the body cream is really nice too; melts into skin and smells like the perfume. For seasons, I think it’s more appropriate for cooler temps; spring, late fall and winter. Overall, it’s nothing groundbreaking, polo dress shirts but it’s nice and it’s been a while since Ralph Lauren has put out anything that I’ve liked enough to buy. After initial spray, Woman smells strongly of jasmine and woods with sweetness of 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.
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.
Upon first application, the orange blossom really stands out on my skin; it actually takes over the other notes. As it’s settling, I get more of the hazelnuts and some woods along with the fruity nuances. To me, it smells like a floral-fruity gourmand. I can see a little bit of similarity with Angel Muse; they both have that nuttiness in them, they’re kinda like distant cousins. This one isn’t nearly a powerhouse though.
This is why some reviewers are comparing this frag to a 1980s vintage which used to have tuberose as a major player note. This tuberose is as sweet and buttery as a gourmand flower can be. Rich but not overpowering and very feminine, somewhat waxy white flowery.
He immediately bought the largest bottle he could get for his wife! That is the first time anything like that has ever happened to me. It’s nice, but just because of my personal preferences, I can’t help but think of it as an auntie scent. Like I said in the beginning it has that classic, old school vibe of how mass marketed scents used to be, which a lot of my aunts used to wear.
