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.

I received this in a swap last winter and instantly HATED it! Relax, said the swapper, give the weather time to warm up and then see what you think of it. Well I broke it back out last month and WHOA - this is THE quintessential summer perfume. I live in the south where the humidity is amazing yet this stuff makes it nearly bearable. I love walking outdoors and smelling my arm where the salty strawberry clings. I can smell the sea water which is amazing because I never realized sea water could have a scent but Womanity Pour Elles pulls it off perfectly! The fig is certainly there too but this one has GROWN on me. What smelled "weird" and maybe even disgusting in the winter months has become my go-to for the summer of 2016. This stuff is amazing. It's an acquired taste, for certain but if you give it a chance to settle on your skin during these HOT months I think you'll love it the way I do. ;)

I have phases when I like womanity and phases when I don't. Really odd! I feel the same about angel. Generally love both , or at least think that this is a great creation. Not so mainstream at all. Unique , unusual and very marine like. When I smell this I think of summer time and the ocean ! I smell the salty water , sweet milky figs and the strawberries. This one is a tat easier to wear than womanity EDP , which is quite strong and different. , almost a cold scent , like wind by the sea, with a metal tinge . I think of the colour silver. I prefer this to the original, but I am not a die heart womanity woman. So this is a sweet, salty strawberry marine scent that enjoyable on a hot summer day ! Funny thing is , to me it has no base notes. And a very light existence. Quite likeable but wishing there was musk or some sort of a base to it. Are the deeper notes the caviar ?

This is a fragrance that divides people into Love it or Hate it group. For a long time I was in a so called 'Hate group'. I coulnd't stand it at all. When I tried it at a drugstore I just couldn't wait to wash it off my wrists. I immediately put it on the perfumes I dislike list. Then months went by and I got this one as a gift. I really had to fake a smile while I was receiving tit. But then I gave it one more try, and second and third... and now I really like it. No, it's not gonna be my signature scent, but it's so different than the perfumes that are on the market. It's woody and salty but at the same time sweet and sultry. If you're tired of fragrances that just smell nice and samey, try this one, you'll definitely smell something out of the box. And if you can appreciate this smell you'll start to have fun with it.

I tried the original Womanity in autumn and it smelled terrible on my skin, way worse than on paper, dry and metallic. Now I tried Eau pour Elles on a warm day (and again on a hot day) and it's so much better than I expected. It's juicy sweet (not green) fig and strawberry with a salty marine note. It warms nicely on my skin and doesn't become too metallic. I'm not sure how exactly caviar smells (obviously I'd rather invest my money in perfume than in seafood), but there is a savory edge to it. Overall it's a rather linear scent with a jammy feel in the drydown and good longevity. To me it's very different from other fruity summer fragrances and also from Womanity EDP, at least when I tried it the last time. I'm not sure if this would be nice in cold temperatures yet, but I think it's great for summer!

This is a magnificent fall smell... it echoes part of the summer, and yes the strawberry is prominent from start to finish, but not girly at all, i suppose due to the difficult black fig and caviar.. I must admit that this is the third time in my life that my initial "oh gosh, no, by no means!" to a smell, was followed by awe and enchantment: the first was with hypnotic poison by dior, the second by comme de garcons 2 pour femme, and now this!! (it reminds me a lot of Chapeau Bleu my Marina Picasso, though the notes differ...) I've been wearing it for more than 8 hours and it smells delicious! Definitely an unusual combination and an aroma for those who can stomach perfumes with character! The notes on the list don't do it justice - you have to test it on your skin, to see if it suits you....

I finallllllllly got to sample this! Yay!! I tested this with Eau Pour Elles on 1 wrist and the original Womanity on the other. This version is similar in the beginning to the original, there was a quick tease of Strawberry and it seemed to go hide in the bushes until later. Although similar at first, this was still less woody than the original and therefore more sweet tart fig topped with salty caviar. This is where the similarities end, as the dry down comes to play! The strawberries dominated this for the last couple of hours, it was sweet yet not overly so (perhaps the fig was toning it down), as true to a real strawberry as possible! Very beautiful indeed, and definitely the seductress Womanity's younger, more innocently flirtatious sister. Originality 10/10 Longevity 10/10 Sillage 10/10

This feels like holding a shaken Strawberry French Martini in a salted brim cocktail glass with your freshly done iridescent "unicorn" manicure, as you jam to a foreign neo soul song in a beach lounge🍸🍓🌊 it's coy and vivacious yet unassumingly sophisticated. it feels like coming across a dolled up young woman who's actually deep down truly poised & grounded, is refreshingly articulate as she talks about layers of society, art history and how doomed we are with this era's politics. the sensual beachy saltiness set as the counterbalance between the polar opposite beings of strawberry (coy/youthful/superficial) + fig (mature/stoic/plush) creates this immaculate aura that I'm beyond annoyed won't ever be able to wrap my hands around! even this bottle stimulates my interest like no other...

I blind bought this knowing full well Thierry Mugler fragrances and I do not always get along well. Angel is my nemesis and Alien works with my chemistry only sometimes. I am so glad I went for this! I absolutely love it. It smells sweet and a little fruity on me. No fishy smell, but I can definitely sense the caviar/marine notes. Its a "notice me" fragrance that is not for the faint of heart. Silage is enormous and this lasts on me from morning till night. This is surely a love it or hate it scent. I have over 70 bottles of perfume and until now, I have never had a signature scent or even anything I wear two days in a row. I think I may have found my signature. I have ordered the original Womanity to satisfy my own curiosity and I am hoping its as incredible as this one!

The smell of the sea is uncanny in this when you first spray it, which is really impressive. Smells like when you're driving toward the ocean on the highway with the windows rolled down. Wish it stayed salty like this on my skin--the fig dominates later, and it doesn't smell bad, but it's not as natural as I would like and has a synthetic body lotion edge someone else mentioned. Strong like for me. Props to this Womanity flanker for its original approach to fruity summer scents. EDIT: Wore this to the beach recently and fell in love with it. The strawberry lingers a lot longer than I initially gave it credit for, and I can get past the metallic fig note enough to appreciate how deliciously salty it is. Made it to my want list.

YAY! I could never stomach the full force of the regular womanity, although the scent was unique and i WANTED to like it. This is perfect for me, since it smells almost exactly like the normal version, just not soooo salty. At first spritz, i thought eau pour elles was going back just as womanity did, but after a bit, that little fruity hint came out of the woodwork and now i think Im sold. Even now, about 12 hours later I can smell the woody fruityness radiating off of my hand, dispite a few hand washes. I am happy, and even ready to seek out some more womanity flankers! EDIT: Tart strawberries and wood for sure! I cant believe I hate womanity and yet this may easily become my signature alongside light blue! WOW!

The beautiful classic Womanity gains a touch more light and sweetness through the addition of a sweet fruity note. As a result, the fig moves slightly into the background, and the composition becomes less leafy-green and more gourmand with fresh fruits. It is romantic, charming, and sweetly feminine, while remaining mature and well-constructed. Longevity and sillage are good, closely comparable to the original. Wearing this discontinued gem was a great pleasure. Yet I could not help reflecting on the saying le mieux est l’ennemi du bien, wondering why one would seek to improve upon such a beautiful original in the first place.

Another wonderful swap thank you to my swap partner. GORGEOUS salty scent blast hits you up front. Very potent yet soft. I must admit I really dislike the original Womanity. . This one on the other hand is a masterpiece. Honestly there is not one single thing about this fragrance that I do not enjoy, even down to the bottle which I love. I do smell the woody note and I love it. There is salt upon first spray but that fades to a lovely soft warm woody scent that is not overly fruity or gourmand. An absolute beautiful flanker that is far superior to the original in my humble opinion.

I simply love this smell, it's very special, like no other. They say this is a softer version of Womanity but, at least on my skin, it's not. On me, Womanity is kinda sweet but Eau pour Elles is more woody, and stronger. The sales girl insisted that if I want something stronger then I should take Womanity. But again, on my skin, Eau is stronger and better than Womanity. I can't stop sniffing myself! :))) I tried hard but i can't smell any strawberry in it, thank God! Doesn't last too long though, I have to reapply like every 3 hours, but silage is perfect.

You know its a good perfume, in my opinion anyway, when: people smell it on you and they want to keep smelling more and they want to buy it :) And well a good perfume tells a story and puts you in a mood when you wear it. This is by far my fav from the Womanity range. Its mellowed down from the other ones, less powerful and salty and metallic, more fruity floraly sweet and feminine. It also has a certain romanticism and elegant feel to it. It definetely makes me come back to it.

I have just ordered my 4th bottle of 80ml womanity eau pour elles!!! I am so happy when i find it! It' s fantastic! i love it! it's fresh it's clean it's "sea"!! I also love the womanity edp but this is more feminine. it stays all day on my skin and on my clothes and eventhough i do not smell it, i get many compliments. it's like a cloud around me, this is my true "aura". Salty, sweet, fruity, clean. so complicated and yet so simple! Do not buy it! i will keep it all to myself!

I love this flanker from Womanity, which is unfortunately no longer in production. Especially in summer, it's one of the few perfumes that works for me in the heat of +30 degrees and more. For me, this is what a really, beautiful, feminine woman who enjoys life smells like. The perfume shines in the summer by the sea. I see the beautiful, confident and joyful woman there after swimming in the sea, in the shade of a fig tree, eating strawberries🍓🥂.

This was an impulse blind buy today at Marshall's. I had a mini of regular Womanity in the past and gave it away; I just couldn't connect with it. Eau pour Elles is a different story. It smells SO sexy, like a romantic rendezvous on a luxurious yacht, in the middle of the ocean, at sunset. The caviar note is more subtle, and fresh-smelling. The strawberry brings out the fig much more too. Just gorgeous, exotic, and different. I love it.

I really like the original Womanity but didn't love it enough to purchase. The Mugler SA introduced me to this new version. I love it! On me I still smell the savory fig and salt but with added strawberries. It doesn't turn too 'sweaty' like the original, and is pleasantly sweet. Perhaps my taste and nose is simply plebeian but I do not find it synthetic smelling. I layer it with Mugler Cologne sometimes. This is a good summer scent.

So i'm pretty sure now that this one is being discontinued :( I just bought a brand new 50 ml bottle for 25 euros at my local drugstore.. A few weeks before I saw it for about the same price at one of my trusted online perfumestores. Also in prestige perfume boutiques you can not get the refills anymore or just the 50 ml of the 100 ml. They don't restock the shelves for this one anymore so... GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

it's unexpectedly fantastic!!!! It doesn't annoy me at all, but at the same time it's strong and everyone notices it!! They ask me again and again what perfume am i wearing, i love it. i love it's marine character, nothing like the others!! Not only flowers Not only fruits Not only vanila, amber and ext... it is unique!! I have other perfumes waiting for me at the shelf, but for now, i will only love this one!!

Absolutely adore this flanker, it’s a fresher, more transparent and approachable take on the original, which I happen to love as well. This is much easier to wear, especially in summer. The stawberry is not lemonade-like, thank god. The performance is good, but not nuclear like the (prereform) OG. Highly recommended if you find the original too challenging!

This is absolutely gorgeous in the spring, especially on those sunny days, when it's pleasant in the shade. The strawberry adds this tangy sweetness that fits Womanity's almost raw roughness and makes it a bit more playful and fun. This is unlike anything else in the market, so try it if you like unusual scents.

I love it! i love it! i love it! since the last summer..oh i can't wait to wear it again..it's perfect for warm days..it's a lighter version of womanity plus strawberries (finally! i discovered perfect strawberry in perfume) and marine notes.Sometimes it smells like a wet ground..and i like it too!

I was so scared to try this one because all the negative comments. This does NOT smell fishy at all, on my skin I get sweet strawberry jam with salt. Interesting! Different, just what I was looking for. Sillage is moderate, on my skin lasts just 2 hours. I guess I’ll have to buy Womanity 😉

I love the original and love this one. A slighter more shy edition in both silage and longevity than the original. Love the strawberry note i addition to the sea and fig note. People who find the original to strong may like this one. Another Mugler in my collection which I adore.

This is a love! I cannot really describe it any better than most below me have. It's sweet, fresh and really fun. This is more to reassure others like myself who are afraid this may be too "wierd" or "different" for them, trust me, it's not!

I love this perfume its so special and sexy! It is a complex perfume and maybe its not for everyone but one of my favorites for sure. I wear this mostly du ring the summer but i think you can wear It wwhenever you feel like It.

Освен, че ми е много любим и всичко останало установих, че ми носи прекрасно чувство за равновесие и простор, перспектива, очакване на хубави неща в моменти, в които ми е трудно и всички останали миризми ме дразнят:)

this lovely fragrance is very good..This was a very nice surprise for me. very strong and commercial..it is absolutely good scent, dark & mysterious Agarwood, erotic.. I love it!.I love the bottle

Для мене пахне сиропом для кави зі смаком фундука.Хоча в піраміді немає фундука ,а ні горіхів. Запах приємний ,стійкість від середньої до високої. Пакування металеве ,деталізоване.

I would love a big bottle. If you have it and don;t like it, contact me and maybe we can arrange a swap. thank you.

Is this one being discontinued? I see it in stores less and less :'( !

I was VERY shocked/pleased to find that this flanker of Womanity works on my skin - and I absolutely love it! I bought a full bottle after sampling it just twice, I couldn't help myself. If you have any prejudices about the Womanity line - please don't write off the flankers, they're all very different feels from the original Womanity! This one starts off in the opening with a balance of fresh air, fresh strawberries and fig - syrupy and sweet, but with lots of depth and poise. The two work really well together to avoid any shrill/synthetic feeling - instead, it's more of a dry musk, almost woody in a way (Sounds very unattractive - but fear not!! Amazing!). I'm always worried about the caviar note, but if you weren't aware of it being listed, you wouldn't be able to pick it out. In this flanker is passes by before the drydown as a slight hint of salty-sweet-caramelized-popcorn. Once you hit the tail end of the fragrance, it's all velvety smooth sweetness. I find a lot of comfort in Womanity Pour Elles! It definitely feels like an "everyday, casual" scent for me, but still holds it's own in regards to being unique. The atmosphere feels 'clean', without having any of those typical 'clean' notes. VERY mild for a Mugler creation, soft-moderate sillage and lasting power, this is no Angel powerhouse, (Alas, it is an EDT.) My overall impression of this flanker is PINK ROCK CANDY! And that is why I'm in love with it. Boyfriend, co-worker, and random-passerby-approved. Disclaimer: Sweet scent lovers only!

Bizarre and seemingly complex. Yet the list of fragrance notes is so short! This was my first Thierry Mugler, a blind buy, and I liked Womanity Eau pour Elles instantly the first time I tried it (although it did give me a headache for awhile). I tend to like fresh and green scents, and scents for both women and men. Although there is a heavy sweetness to Womanity Eau pour Elles, the spicyness and woody elements make me think that this could be worn by either sex (and it would be daring for either). For me, this fragrance was totally woody at first: cedar more than anything, followed by pine cones drippy with sap. Next, it became beachy (including the inflatable multicolored beach ball you blow up by mouth). I can also understand how another reviewer was reminded of Ajax cleaner. There is something here in common with old-fashioned heavy duty powdered cleansers such as Comet or (especially) Spic-n-Span. Weird, but I like it! So the overall impression is a masculine femininity (if that makes any sense), an outdoor wildness, and yet there is a plastic, almost industrial element. Taking the bottle design into consideration with the rest, I would sum up by saying that Womanity Eau pour Elles seems made for a Mad Max motorcycle Mama with an Art Deco sensibility at the ocean's edge. Or maybe... Mad Max motorcycle Mama meets Waterworld meets The Great Gatsby. :)

What an unexpected, pleasant surprise! I received a sample of this from a lovely Fragrantica member and was unsure of how this would work for me, as the original Womanity most definitely did not. Not only did I like this, I think I've found a new love! Up until very recently, I did not know that there was a difference between Womanity and Womanity pour Elles. The pour Elles has a strawberry note which, for me, ties the entire the perfume together. My complaint with the original was that the perfume notes felts disjointed, with the heavy floral, marina notes, and sweetness all lacking cohesion. This; however, makes up for what the other is lacking. I am able to now smell the fig (I could not in the original), the salt, and the strawberry. Although there are marina notes, I don't find them overwhelming or headache-inducing. They translate as "fresh," which is exactly what I prefer. Additionally, this perfume does not appear to be the sillage monster that many of Mugler's perfumes are known for. I feel that I can happily wear this is Spring and Summer without hot-boxing any victims in my wake lol! I will say, as the strawberry and fig are very dominant, that if you are not a fan of these notes, this scent will most likely not work for you. If you are a fan of these notes like I am, you might be very pleasantly surprised!!

I got a sample of this yesterday, and I just had to try it. My first impression was that I took a dip in something sweet, pink and sticky, and then got lost in a cruise ship buffet. Also I sense something cold and maybe metallic in this... Like you'd put a stainless steel spoon in your mouth for a while and sucked it. The sweetness was almost too much for me, but I got curious when the caviar reached my nose. I waited for few hours and as the sticky-yucky stuff started to fade, I began to like this scent. It turned out to be sweet and salty at the same time, and the caviar was notable, but all in all it got softer. I wouldn't buy Womanity Eau pour Elles because of the sweetness, and because this really wasn't the right perfume for me. I liked it, but not enough. ... Two and a half weeks, and I think I'm hooked. The sample I got is almost gone. It's still a bit too sweet, and I think I have to try the original Womanity... The sooner the better! I find this perfume quite sexy, and I've never actually thought a perfume alone could make such an impression. Even the 'stainless steel spoon' thingy is pleasant now.

in trying to figure out how to open the sample of this, i managed to spill a bit on my arm. the sample's not a wand-applicator type, or a spray, or even just an open vial - it's a vial with a built-in applicator thingie with tiny holes in it. interesting, but only when kept upright. Lush is the only other company i've seen use this type. anyway, this isn't a real review because i've got on a different scent today, so i'll need to try this again proper. but so far? interesting. i like it. but it reminds me of a very specific thing from the past - the smell of the lower level of the house i grew up in. the pool was off of that end of the house, so in the summer there was the slightly mildew-y scent of always-wet indoor/outdoor carpet. the perfumes / lotions / hairspray scents of the ladies (my friends and my mom's friends) who came over to use the pool, plus the pool chemicals themselves. and the faint vinyl smell from the wet-bar over in one corner. a very specific scent, that you'd only know if you came to that house, but this reminds me of that. i'd call it the summer of 1983 in a bottle.

A much softer WOMANITY in prettier bottle. I get some fruity strawberry in the opening. I don't think it's very synthetic, but it's gone very quickly. Then there's the sweet-salty-fresh scent from the original. Much softer and more likeable. But it doesn't last! After two hours it had dried down to a woody slightly animalic drydown and then it disappeard completely! I was shocked, I mean, this is WOMANITY we're talking about! Of course I didn't expect it to last as long as the original, it being an EDT and all that, but two hours is absurd. I can't think of a lot of people who would want to buy this, WOMANITY lovers won't be impressed, WOMANITY haters will still think it smells like WOMANITY, and people who like WOMANITY but find it too strong will maybe like this at first and then after some they won't be able to smell it on themselfs and forget about it. And the worst is that there is really nothing wrong with the scent itself.

I've always avoided Womanity like the plague, but I received a sample of this one for free and had to try it. I was very surprised because this has a very dominant strawberry note, which stays present for quite a long time. The strawberry makes this a very likeable fruity aquatic fragrance. I'm not getting anything remotely fishy from the caviar, but it does have a scent reminiscent of the sea, only very nice and fresh. I love this fresh note, because it's not too synthetic or watery like watermelon. It has a dryness underneath, almost like a masculine fragrance. Very interesting. To me, Eau Pour Elles smells very much like summer in a bottle, with the sea notes and the sweet fruits. The fig could be a little more toned up for my personal preferences, so this fragrance makes me wonder about the original. For my taste it's a bit too fruity, but I'm sure it's the easiest one from the Womanity line.

I got a mini bottle of this is try, and this fragrance is really different. But in a good way! I like it. I don't find it off-putting at all. I get a lot of strawberry, quite a bit of fig. There's also this note in it that's very savory that I don't think I've ever really smelled before in a perfume, and I'm going to assume that it's the caviar. There is something about the scent that's really unfamiliar, somewhat strange. But that's not a bad thing, it's just something new. This is a great summer scent, and honestly while I wouldn't say it's a safe blind buy just because of the nature of it, it's a safe scent to me. It's nothing super strong or daring or out of the ordinary. This is a very well balanced, mild perfume. Not sure why this one is polarizing or controversial honestly. Don't be scared of eau pour elles... She's very mild mannered and lighthearted. As easy-going as they come.

The opening is so lovely— it smells just like strawberries that have juuust begun to turn. Fizzy and fermented and fruity, a wine-like depth most strawberry scents lack. For mere wonderful minutes it saturates you in this deliciously boozy fruity smell, and then, it's completely gone! It's a travesty. I'll say the dry down is lovely by itself— a little salty in a skin and sweat kind of way, a little fruity (woefully, not as fruity as it was before). It's unique— it somehow manages to put all these scents I associate with dark, sexy, and heady into something wonderfully light. As much as I miss that overripe beginning, it's hard to say I don't love everything that follows. It's a real shame this is discontinued.

I picked this up as a blind buy at TJ Maxx not really knowing what to expect. This is after all Womanity - a scent that has gotten some of the oddest reviews (blood, dirty undies, sweat, fish..fresh savory fig and salt). But now that I've worn Pour Elles a couple of times and I've read some of the reviews I can see that this is a lightened, fruity, freshened up version of Womanity and not nearly as controversial as the original EDP. That's o.k. I find myself really liking this fruity, girly, and as others have noted, romantic, feminine version. I still want to test the original but I think that this is the version that I'll enjoy wearing. Glad to have lucked into it.

I sprayed this, and it smelled EXACTLY like I was 15 again, stuck in a classroom, or after gym, with a bunch of other 15 year old girls, all lotioning themselves up and spraying themselves into oblivion with Bath and Body Works stinking creations, which had just opened up in THE MALL. (Yes, this was the 90s!!) Wow, what a trip! Who would have thought that someone would make this smell on purpose, as a supposedly "high end" fragrance! Plumeria? "Raspberry?" I'm not sure. Something awful. This is amazingly bad to me, and I kind of adore it to pieces for the nostalgia factor. It's amazingly bad. Wow. Just wow. I love it. It's so terrible.

Today, I am comparing Womanity EDP and Womanity Eau Pour Elles EDT. This one is set apart from Womanity in its strawberry note. It is a fresh, leaves and all, rendition. Along with the saltiness and fig accord of the original, which renders it less marine, bar its salt from the caviar. We grow strawberries in our garden, so I know the fragrances from that plant. It is a very salty fume, so imagine growing strawberries on a Mediterranean plot, right by the sea, and it may place you in that experience of the perfume. It's a like for me for now, as I enjoy the original more. But that is personal choice. It is still a good perfume.

A few years back i was browsing the stores for the womanity, but this version was the only one available. I'm so glad i got it. I watched some videos about it and someone described it as: you are visiting your nonna and she makes pasta with pomidori sauce, and after you eat your fill, you drink half a glass of wine from her cellar while chilling in the back garden that overlooks her wineyard . That's so perfect, it literally smells like that. It smells like how you feel after a good meal and a good glass of wine. It's just so wholesome scent. Light, fruity but also you can smell the summer. It's so hard to describe. I love it.
