Woman by Ralph Lauren

Kind of funny, i was just thinking this would be better suited to be called, "lady" as it does not conjure up any essence of what the word "woman" means to me. Not feisty or sassy enough for this title. Then I realized I just paired this with Lady Million for the first time to see how that goes, and though it smells devine together, the irony of "Lady" is not lost on me. Normally I like to wear soft powdery, woody soap scents after the bath before bed, but decided to change things up. These two pair very nicely so far and I'm getting that wood scent I adore so much. It is definitely more of a daytime/evening scent. Had I thought longer than -3 seconds on it, I wouldn't have sprayed this for bed. It's much more lively than I'm ready to be right now. A dash of Heaven Sent will remedy that, but this definitely is a safe blind buy if you enjoy the reviews below me. They're very accurate. Office/work safe and non-intrusive (if not oversprayed - do not overspray this, I've done so in the past and then wouldn't wear it for over a year). It's fall now and this smells like the perfect scent to kick off the cool weather. Summer may ruin it, as others have mentioned. I wouldn't dare wear this in the dead heat of summer, though maybe cooler summer nights for a date. Fall, winter and early spring sound about right. But this is just how it works on my skin. Some may say they only wear it in summer, so who knows. Try it. Fresh, clean, classy and stylish. Makes me think of young women wearing dress suits and other business attire - busy and on the go. Smells like success. No age limit, not that there ever really is one, but this could be worn at any age and nobody would think twice on it. It's really very lovely. Shame someone said it was discontinued! I'll be frugal with the 2nd half of my bottle, which btw I adore! The bottle is stunning in its simplicity. The lid is very different and suits the plain clear glass perfectly. Not that the bottle matters much after we've sprayed the juice, but it's clean, practical, classy and beautiful. Just like the juice inside.

Ummmmmm. Alright guys. So I work in a dental office and one of the perks of that is that I basically have a free subscription to every magazine on Earth. People magazine, Entertainment, Sports Illustrated, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, etc. Well yesterday...I was in the copy room making copies of some forms...I look over, and I see the December 2017 issue of Vanity Fair with JLO and Alex Rodriguez on the cover. There's always at least two fragrance samples in Vanity Fair so I took it over to my desk with me. I personally have always thought that Ralph Lauren fragrances are very well made. I don't think I've ever smelled one that I didn't like. They're always at least "good" if not an absolute love and in my opinion...most of them are underrated. So I was quite happy to see Ralph Lauren Woman as one of the samples while I was flipping through the pages. Literally one of the most beautiful smells I've ever smelled. (And that's coming from someone who owns about 300 bottles of all types of fragrances.) I don't like to label fragrances to an age group, or even a gender. However in this case...this did remind me of a woman either in her 30s or 40s. Which is not an insult. This fragrance is an effortless beauty but does have something about it...that makes you think of elegance, beauty, and confidence. This fragrance is still pretty new so even on Ebay...a 100ML bottle is currently running for about $70. But this fragrance is so gorgeous...I honestly don't care. I get paid tonight and I will be ordering this tomorrow. I voted for this above with a love because it is absolutely gorgeous. However, since I don't have a bottle nor have I tested it in a store...I did not vote using the sliders. I will do that when I receive it in a week or so and give it a proper wear. But seriously...this fragrance is incredible. Absolute game changer for me. I'm in love. I can see myself wearing this often...even considering how many fragrances I have. Ralph Lauren does it again!! Two big thumbs up!! Scent Itself - 10/10 <-- RARELY do I say that.

I love love love it! From the packaging which reminds me of a zippo to the advertising and to the scent itself, its all a very solid love. Since we're on a localised lockdown where I live in the UK I've been doing a lot of blind buying and this has to be one of my most successful blind buys to date. As well as the bottle intreguing me, the notes list did as well since I love a good rhubarb and blackcurrant fragrance, I couldn't however picture the blackcurrant and rhubarb notes actually working together, nor could I really think of how the hazelnut notes would smell mixed with them and the tuberose, I had to buy a bottle to try it for myself! Ok, firstly the bottle looks very elegant and also a bit badass at the same time, its a very simple, heavy glass bottle with a gold plate which simply says Ralph Lauren on it and is adorned with a hinged zippo-like lid which has RL engraved on it. The scent itself is wonderful, I'm actually releaved that for once a designer has made a scent which isn't a gourmand or has a lot of sugar and confectionary in it. The opening is a strong, salty/floral sweet affair which is a result of the tuberose mixing with the orange blossom and the pear, it quickly settles down and the rhubarb and the blackcurrant comes forward and adds a tart, crisp freshness to the composition which prevents the floral notes from becoming too heady and overbearing, the woodsy notes are light and help to round off the entire scent. I can't detect any of the hazelnut or the rose notes on my skin however. The silage is moderate, 3 spritzes is enough to get you noticed but not enough to really offend anyone, unless you are really heavy handed and I can get about 7-8 hours of wear from it, for an EdP to my nose its light, but its elegant and indeed womanly, I'm wearing this in the autumn and I also think it will work well in the winter and the springtime, the summer, however I do think it could become quite cloying and heady but could work on a cool summer day or evening.

I love this scent and I hate that it's been discontinued!! I feel so pretty, classic, and put together wearing this, and it's what I reach for when I don't know what scent to wear. Somehow, it pairs well with every lotion and body wash I have, and it layers nicely with every other perfume I own, as well. Since it's blended the floral, woody, creamy, and fruity notes so well, it really is versatile as a layering scent. If your perfume is too masculine and woody? Add this. If it's too sharp and green? Add this. If it's too screechy of a floral, add this. Woman layers well with EVERYTHING! My personal favorite is to layer Memo Marfa with Woman. Marfa is Woman's gender-fluid cousin, by the way. It's timeless, ageless, and can be worn out on a date or to the grocery store. It's equally appropriate with jeans and a t-shirt as it would be as a wedding scent. It has decent projection, decent lasting power, and I've gotten many compliments on this one. I have this and the Intense version, and if Ralph Lauren releases any flankers, I'll probably get those, too. It's just an easy to wear, pretty scent, and I'm the only person I know who owns it. So, it's even somewhat unique. Ya don't see rhubarb and hazelnut in every perfume. 9.6/10 - not quite perfect but damn close

Enjoying the evening with this scent. It's precious. It's just like a favorite gem. You just sit and admire it's beauty. It makes you feel like a queen. It's just amazing to me. Meghan Markle would be a perfect face for this perfume. It's bright, sparkly as her eyes when she looks at her prince, it's vibrant, full of life, and as charming as her personality. The bottle has a very much needed flip top. With so many perfumes, it's hard to find a top at times! This is a necessity! Even cheap bottles should have grandma crocheted strings as far as I'm concerned. The bottle itself is a bit plain. I think I might like a little lettering like, the golden initials of RL. Even plain, it doesn't have a cheap look to it. OK...a teensy bit maybe. But I still love the whole look! This isn't a complaint, just a small preference. This scent is so pretty, after holding an infant that has picked up your scent, it would still be appropriate. It's just that lovely. I haven't ever smelled any other Ralph Lauren fragrances for women. But I'd be willing to bet someone else's life, they wouldn't be any better than this!
