Prada La Femme

This is my wife's signature scent and I love it. It is one of those fragrances that up close smells good but in the air just smells a hundred times better and specially when some time has passed after it is sprayed, it just leaves such a classy scent trail. Awesome quality as usual with Prada. This fragrance opens up good but a bit screechy, with an intense floral smell from one of those notes that Im not too familiar with ( probably the tuberose or the Ylang-ylang) that luckily after about 15-20 mins calms down and blends with the other less screechy floral notes in such a beautiful way, then at that point that addicting beeswax note starts to show up more and just becomes such an interesting and captivating scent that pretty much retains the same smell for the rest of its lifespan. The longevity is not the greatest sadly, still it does seem to last a good 4 or 5 hours projecting a perfectly moderate bubble, just as this fragrance should imo. This is such a perfect daily/work scent, it is extreamly versatile, not invasive and it just projects an image of a well put together, respectable and decisive woman. Now this is absolutely not a "sensual", "seductive" or "party" scent at all imo, it gives out a slightly mature tone while still smelling modern and deffinetly a younger lady can pull it off beautifully with the right clothing. Lovely classy woman's scent.

I received a miniature of Prada La Femme with my Paradoxe refill purchase last month (July), and I immediately fell in love with it and bought a 50 ml bottle. It is a very particular fragrance - in my mind, I pictured a 30-something-year-old brunette wearing a pair of off-white Marlene-style trousers, a light blouse and oversized sunglasses, casually strolling along a pier at the French Riviera. To me, this is a perfect scent for the summer months. It is clean, sophisticated and warm, without being too heavy or overpowering. Initially, the carrot seed note is quite sharp but it blends into the rest very quickly. Bergamot lends it freshness, which is nicely balanced by the spices in the middle, and the entire scent is rounded perfectly with the creamy beeswax at the base. It is a great day perfume, very well suited for any occasion, as I don ́t believe it will offend anyone. It is very grown-up, but still fresh and interesting. I would say longevity is somewhere around 4-5 hours, and it doesn ́t leave a huge trail but stays close to the skin. I can imagine it would also sit nicely on one ́s hair, though I haven ́t tried it yet. I have already got some wear out of the bottle I purchased, but I expect I will not wear it much until next spring/summer.

super lovely fresh conservative tuberose floral. I agree with many reviews below mine describing this as a wealthy woman with class, taste & wealth. it does make me think of beige cashmere cardigans or Eileen Fisher summer linens, Hermes bracelets and tasteful gold jewelry. the florals are slightly tropical but done in a restrained manner. You could dislike tuberose but still enjoy this. It’s sweet but not overly so, almost slightly less sweet than it could be. I don’t really ever notice vanilla, beeswax or spices. A few weeks ago I bought RL Woman Intense which seems like the sweeter and more syrupy sexy version of this. In my collection I’d compare it to Teo Cabanel Lace Garden which is a juicier & fruitier magnolia fragrance and Le Labo Lys 41 (also more potent). Chanel Beige is the closest in style and longevity. this is a reserved, fresh and modern white floral. If it was more potent and much longer lasting I’d really love this as a spring & summer office scent or for a lunch-brunch kind of affair. but it’s really way too discreet & fleeting for me to be gaga about it but I bought a bottle and I will use it (while remaining bitter about its longevity). It’s very pretty while it lasts (for 2 hours). Scent 8.5/10 Longevity 3/10

A beautiful yellow floral I find LaFemme to be a big yellow floral with a strong note of frangipani. After traveling to Hawaii and experiencing the gorgeous frangipani flowers I was determined to come home and find a fragrance that was strong frangipani. LaFemme was the first one I purchased that had large note of frangipani but it is crossed with yellow florals. I continued my search and found Van Cleef and Arpels California Reverie and just recently Jo Malone’s Frangipani Flower. All 3 have strong notes of frangipani- LaFemme with strong yellow florals, California Reverie with hints of orange and greens, much lighter, and Frangipani Flower the most true of the 3 with a linear profile. All are beautiful but I can say LaFemme is a beautifully complex, sophisticated, large fragrance on me. I bought it in November and found that such a strong floral still played well in the cold. I wear it all seasons but find that in summer it is too potent. This has become my signature and I have half-emptied the bottle in a few years. I have a huge collection but LaFemme is my go to when I want people to notice.

One of the most feminine and elegant scent I ever smelled. I simply love it, it gives me this rich woman in Saint-Tropez kind of vibe, a perfect all year round fragrance but definitely MADE for summertime. It makes me dream of a beautiful sunset by the sea while being in the warm water, the waves are slowly reaching your waist and you sip a wonderful smoothie. I mainly get the Ylang-Ylang, the Tuberose, Frangipani, Beeswax and Vanilla who are creating that perfect creamy, tropical summer perfume. Then you get some depth with the Spices, Carrot Seeds, Vetiver and Iris also helps a tad bit. The notes That I get the less are the Iris, Carrot Seeds and weirdly, the Magnolia even if it is a top note. But the Ylang, Frangipani and Beeswax are the top notes to my nose. I simply ADORE Ylang-Ylang in fragrances so it's no surprise. If you want to feel confident during summer or wear this during a date night or simply during a night out, just know that this blend feels, creamy, tropical, rich, feminine, sexy, sultry/sensual. It is a solid 10/10 <333
