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

This was a blind buy. The first time I sprayed it I had to walk away and come back, because I did a full spray and it was STRONG! I sat the bottle down for a few weeks, and tried it again. This time I did a tiny spray on my wrist, and OH MY GOODNESS! This perfume smells so amazing. There is a sweetness from the honey that peaks through, with creamy florals, and musk. The sillage is strong at first, but simmers down to moderate. Prada frags blend well with my chemistry, so I get a decent amount of longevity out of it. The longevity of La Femme is almost eternal. I could see myself wearing this in Spring and Autumn, for sure. Hot summers would be a no for me, and this could be pulled off in winter, but it may not be "strong" enough. This perfume makes me feel so beautiful, pretty, dainty, feminine, and immaculate. I think I've found a new favorite.

Found a random decant of those that I honestly didn't know I had. So I decided to try it. Honestly, for whatever reason lately, Prada's scents have been HITTING. To me this is a true floral, and I'm really picky with my florals... This one though, is done right. The smells really classy, a little warm, and somewhat expensive... It also smells really good once it's warmed into the skin, such an easy wear which isn't always expected with certain florals. I don't think I'd ever buy it, but this is a solid like... The smells really nice, and works pretty well with my body chemistry. If you don't like magnolia or frangipani, I would skip this. Those notes are pretty prominent. The beeswax gives it just a touch of sweetness. This smells like your favorite teacher, if that makes any sense. Classy, always pleasant, very feminine.

I bought Prada infusion d'iris, and I got a 9ml small size of La Femme by Prada. It was exactly what I was looking for! So what happened is that I went to a hairdresser and got a hair color and a blowout and my hair smelled divine. I wanted to find something similar but I couldn't until I met this fragrance. La Femme smells clean, fresh and warm at the same time, soapy but in a luxurious way. I spray this behind my ears and a little bit on my hair and I can smell it when I move my hair, it's so simple and easy to wear, inoffensive, office friendly. Good for any occasion and any season. It can be signature worthy. I can't say much about longevity since my expectations are to smell it from time to time, when I move around but not all the time. I must admit it can be boring if you are looking for something special.

I left a review back in January, 2022 which is still accurate but after wearing half the bottle I’m coming back to sing it’s praises a bit more strongly. This has gone from a like to a love for me with my only (big) frustration being that it’s so fleeting. Prada La Femme is a gorgeous white/yellow floral that’s delicate, gauzy and leans more natural rather than synthetic. I steer clear of jasmine-centric perfumes but this has enough of a floral mix with emphasis on frangipane and beeswax that I find it hard to pin down specific florals. It’s light and airy and disappears within 2-3 hours but it’s joyous while it lasts. Reminds me the most of Chanel Beige. The image is a breezy 80 degree sunny day with the wind stirring your linen curtains. Effortless class, grace & charm. LOVE.

This one has a wow factor for me, but maybe that’s because I’m new to testing fragrances? I pick up on the bergamot initially but I mainly notice the florals. It must be the tuberose that stands out to me because I’m picking up on the bubble gum that people reference. It’s not done in a sickly sweet way though, it’s more understated in it sweetness. It’s hard for me to pick up on the individual notes unless I’m looking at the pyramid. To me this feels very pretty, bright and uplifting! Makes me want to find more honeyed florals! The tropical flowers might make this more warm weather appropriate but I’m loving this one so far! Good longevity too- I got about 6 hours before it faded to more of a skin scent.

Reading the reviews for Prada La Femme makes me love the ART of fragrance. Everyone smells something different and that is fascinating. I agree with so many of the reviews. I smell the fancy soap vibe. I do think this is a tuberose forward scent. I also get the tropical feel. It's slightly sweet and fresh at the same time. I've been wearing this for a few months now and this is best in warmer weather. It lasts really well on my skin and forever on clothing. I must say that I am an over-sprayer in general, but definitely with La Femme. I reach for this A LOT. I'm embarrassed to say that I've ordered a back up bottle. Great everyday, signature worthy, year round office-friendly scent.

I blind bought Prada la femme based on the reviews that it was a soapy/ classy parfume. When I first sprayed it I definitely smelled the frangipani and ylangylang mix like in narciso ambree. I didn’t like it. But the dry down is gorgeous. It is soapy but not harsh. It’s a creamy soap with a hint of sweetness. It’s definitely work appropriate but can be quite sexy with the right outfit and setting. Sillage an longevity are both not that great on me. It’s a skin scent and I can’t smell it on my skin after 3-4 hours. On my clothes on the other hand it says until the next wash. I would give it a try when you like the narciso by narciso but want something little fresher and summery.

This is one of if not the best perfumes I've seen in recent years. I didn't care much about giving it a try because, generally speaking, Prada fragrances don't appeal to me. But I got a decant of this one and wow. I am stunned. This is a beautiful, sexy, ultra-feminine scent that reminds me of great perfumes of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. How I've longed for this. The frangipani, when done right, is truly magical, and here it is done right. I love seeing frangipani used. The same is true of magnolia. This is the perfect balance and blend. Masterfully done, Oh! And my boyfriend loves it on me! Edited to add: I got moderate to good silage and twelve good hours out of this.

Andrier (the perfumer) was on to something with Prada La Femme. When I first acquired it years ago, I thought it was a "nice" perfume which would sit among my heavy hitters without much use. Years later, this is the only perfume that has a 50% volume left. I've used this Prada La Femme more often than most. It's an easy, soft, cozy signature type scent that can be worn in any season and occasion. My hands reach for this without thought. Like that reliable friend that you sometimes take for granted. Lasts forever on clothing without being obtrusive. This perfume deserves a lot of respect.

This arrived in the mail today (I was spending my Air Miles) and I was a little underwhelmed when I first smelled it but once it dried down for an hour or so and I applied some more, I am ADDICTED to smelling myself. That beeswax note with the yellow florals is HEAVEN. It's nothing like anything else I own. Edit: I'm usually a pretty conservative sprayer but in 24 hours I may have already put a dent in this bottle. I must reek, but this smell makes me so happy for some reason. When it dries down it smells like fresh laundry in the most beautiful possible way. Love it.

This is very sweet & tropical with a touch of fresh floral. I definitely get the frangipani, ylang ylang, beeswax & Tuberose. This also smells like expensive/fancy soap, but I love it! I’ve never smelled another perfume like this before so it’s definitely staying in my collection. Perfect for the spring or summer on a sunny bright day. I got compliments on it today while wearing it for the first time. The projection is great, once spritz & it projects. The only downside is the poor longevity, a couple hours & then it becomes a very soft close to skin scent.

Super feminine tuberose - not sure why frangipani is listed as prominent, for it's not - backed by ylang ylang and a tad of magnolia. A light green bite, rendering the overall feel one of fresh, white, delicate floral. Lovely, long lasting, not at all old lady - but if that means not sugary then I can understand why such comment... It's classy in a demure and delicate way, I loved it and think it's worth a buy. Not just for office use, mainly spring time day time use - it's uplifting, soft, but persistent and noticeable.

I purchased Prada La Femme in the hottest month of the summer. In Florida, it was averaging 96F and very humid. Prada La Femme had no chance. I couldn't see the beauty. It was very weak and had no projection. I was so disappointed. Now, it is Autumn in FL. The temperature tonight is 56F. Prada La Femme is gorgeous. I can finally see the beauty of the gummy, waxy tuberose. So creamy and clean. Absolutely beautiful. For me, this is definitely not a high heat summer perfume. Works better in transitional seasons.

Its a classic perfume, for everyday and is very versatil. Its very "easy" to wear or for those days that "you dont know what perfume to wear". Its not going to bother people around you. Its a femenine fragrance, clean (without smelling citrusy), elegante, sober and with personality. Its like a expensive, soapy pefume. If you like a bouquet of yellow flowers, this is for you. I considere this as a perfume that smells like you are not wearing any perfume. Kind of makeup - no makeup thing.

I consider this perfume signature scent worthy. Can be worn all year long and worn for many occasions. This perfume is for those who like to smell clean, expensive. This perfume smells like you took a shower with the most expensive soap you could imagine, layered some sweet Avon Skin So Soft lotion, then layered on a Sweet, mild expensive fragrance. It is one of the most feminine, clean expensive smelling fragrances I own. Not too strong, not too weak. Lasts all day.
