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 ralph lauren t shirt 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 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.
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 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 usually blind buy full bottles of fragrances but i decided to sample this one first and I’m glad i did. I was reading other people’s reviews and my standards were set too high for this Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt one. This has a sour candy smell at first which has to be the rhubarb. This note makes the fragrance different and interesting, but I don’t think I want to smell like a jolly rancher.
When I read the card that came with my sample of this scent, it said to expect tuberose and woods. What I got when I sprayed it was a bright, fruity white floral – and a unique one. I think there are a lot of standard pairings among the white floral + fruit scents but this works so well. It’s comforting and smooth, but it’s also quite bright and sparkly.
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.
