Womanity Eau pour Elles

This is definitely more oceanic and salty than OG Womanity. The opening was really alcoholic, this is almost what I imagined Liqueurs De Parfum would smell like, but it faded quickly. I didn't get much strawberry in the beginning. It took maybe a half hour to start detecting that sweetness. It's strange that people say that this is a more 'approachable' version of OG Womanity because my experience the opposite. To me this is like "Womanity Intense." It's as if they cranked up the salt and removed the wood to reveal more of the fig. One absolutely remarkable thing that I have mention is how they really nailed the marine sea notes. I really feel the salt water shoot straight up my sinuses! It brings me back to being a child on my boogie board, and a rough wave dragging me under and I finally surface with a ton of sea water in my nose... Alternatively, imagine you just used a neti pot with some saline solution. OG Womanity is more woody, leafy, grassy, above ground, more meadow-y and sunny, more spring time in the park. A natural woman with no makeup sitting on a picnic blanket with a basket of oranges on a humid day and has only JUST started to sweat. Eau Pour Elles is more ocean, seaweed, salt air, sand. A mermaid laying on the jetties. It's also a little more moody and dark. I guess because it smells like being submerged under water- I am imagining dark clouds looming above. Summer and lightning with a glass of wine.

You can definitely tell this is a flanker of Womanity, but compared to the coldness of the original, it's tame and much more approachable, and the scent is soft for a Mugler. The caviar is noticeable but doesn't smell like fish, more like fresh sea salt. The woody and leafy fig is there too, but the fun is in the strawberry note. It's very sweet but it's ripe and lightly honeyed, not candied. And the fresh, green, woody saltiness brings balance and makes the fragrance definitely mature and seductive. This is not a little girl's strawberry candy perfume ! This is the scent of a grown woman who knows what she wants. Unique and strange but addictive ! It's a shame this is discontinued. It's a hard but rewarding hunt to find this beauty. If you want a fresh, mature strawberry for the warm season, and you like Muglers but want to stay into relatively safe territory, here it is. Update : the warmer the weather, the better it is. On a warm sunny day, it smells like fresh and clean skin, just out of the shower, with a fresh salty vibe. It's not aggressive and synthetic like many marine fragrances can be. It's very clean but in a natural, organic way. Unique and beautiful.

The only version of Womanity that I could wear. ( and love ). I had the original one, it was very synthetic to my nose, and then I had the Taste of Womanity which was wonderful but so strong I felt suffocated and couldn't wear. This is perfect. It starts with strawberries, well done, not very ripe, rather green , and without sugar or cream, then it quickly turnes to figs and salty ocean air. The juice is pink in the bottle but the smell is green. The figs and sea water last a good time, and then the perfume simply disappears without transforming into anything else. The bottle is gorgeous like all other versions. This is refillable, which I think it's great , because you can reuse the gorgeous bottle and fill it up with whatever you want after you finish it. Fantastic, definitely more delicate than all other versions. Simple. And yet quite unique, based on tree notes... strawberry, figs , sea water . I don't smell any unwashed armpits or other nasty body odours ... I wonder where that perception comes from for some reviewers .... Love love love this one.

I have to stop trying discontinued perfumes ... I fall in love and then what 😂 I already have an original Womanity and even though I like it a lot, I find it a little bit cloying, especially the opening. But I really appreciate the saltiness and originality of it. I found a refill bottle of this for a good price, so I bought it with intention of pouring it into the empty original womanity bottle. But whet it arrived, immediately after smelling it, I had to find a backup no matter what, and I was lucky I found a full bottle. This is so amazing... it’s everything I wanted Womanity to be. Less cloying, a little more sweet from the strawberry, and yet, it still has the original DNA that makes it so special. The strawberry here is soo good, not at all artificial or plastic like in other perfumes. It’s hard to describe perfume like Womanity, but if you know the original, just imagine it a little bit lighter with a lot of juicy fruity sweetness. But it’s not weak even though it’s EDT, it’s still a Mugler 👌 I fell in love hard 🥰

To me, this smells like the sea. I grew up swimming in the Mediterranean sea, eating watermelons while smelling the thick, salty air, feeling the sun burning my face, hearing the waves crush and children playing in the heat. This takes me back home and feels familiar. I see myself, 15 years younger, a teenager, embarrassed but free in my bikini, feeling the crust and scratch of sand grains as I imprint my feet in it, running to the water, swimming, cautious of jellyfish, floating in the water, catching the salty breeze, hearing the cheerful screams of children running away from the waves and then chasing them again, feeling the sun and salt purify me. This is it. However, I now live in central Europe and find it hard to find an appropriate occasion for this. I feel like it would be much easier to wear where I'm from, where it's summer 9 months a year. I do like the scent, but it feels a little awkward where I'm now.
