Woman by Ralph Lauren Intense

😢I know this won’t get me on the balloon scale because this is a loved scent, but regardless we are truly here to help one another out with scent profiles so we can make informed decisions from a far. This community was so incredible getting me through Covid shutdowns and still being able to successfully have those blissful moments when you find a soul shaking scent match. So here it is. I love this scent actually. Not in the jaw dropping, eye rolling way. In the “mmm, that’s nice” kind of way. But I’m disappointed. This smells so incredibly similar to my D&G the only one intense. And I paid a boat load more for this, getting less ounces. It’s a tuberose, coconut, slight musky, super womanly, almost syrupy, vanilla scent. I get the pepper on the top of my skin. Doesn’t seem to be an all star performer to my nose but I really need something to push me down the stairs to label it as such. What’s great about this scent (and the D&G) is that they can really fit into any season, time of day, work or play. I also get a ton of compliments on my D&G the only one intense, and I’m sure this will follow suit. I think the sad truth is that my collection is getting too big and presenting challenges finding new masterful fragrances. And I can’t afford to go down the niche spiral right now 😂 Ralph Lauren Woman Intense..super versatile, super beautiful, but for me unfortunately, super redundant

Have really so few people discovered this? Well, the better for my current signature sent! Grateful that Ralph Lauren parfumes are not as hugely advertised (at least in Europe) as Lancôme and Dior who wear themselves out becoming way to mainstream! This one is a gem 😍 A unique, classic category nominee. The slight heavenly aromatic tartness (which I initially thought were raspberries) coming from exquisite rhubarb in delicate combination with black currant (which people often refer to as cough medicine when not in right combo) sweetened by the most luscious white flowers. This is such a great escape from all the choking sweets 🍭 ruling the market, they all resemble each other, from Lancôme to Dior across Paco Rabannes and Elie Saabs. This one is just so different... hopefully marking the beginning of a new era! I feel sophisticated and feminine wearing this, but definitely not stale or old fashioned nor conservative! A sparkly yummy white floral that is a tad sweet, a tad tart and heavenly pleasurable to wear! Can’t believe it was a blind buy, based on the RL classy bottle and lovely notes only. At first I almost returned it because my nose couldn’t detect the fragrance on my skin, but found more and more how it stayed with me and even projected well! I will wear this both day and night. Perfect for spring, summer and fall, will give it a try in winter.

"Big Warm Floral From the Good Ole Days" (aka Old School Floozy Broad, in the best way) Ralph Lauren Woman EDP Intense reminds me of the late 80s-90s heyday of big bold florientals like Givenchy Amarige and original Dior Poison. Other newer comparisons would be Alien, Scandal, Memo Marfa and L'Interdit Rouge. This is a juicy tuberose with lots of base players giving it an deep, sexy voice. I might be in love with the bottle more than the scent itself but it is a nice wearable floral oriental. It starts off really strong. So strong that two sprays left me wondering for an hour if I could stand it. After an hour it really settles down and diminishes to something much more mild and moderate. I definitely like it. This is something us GenXers will find familiar/nostalgic even though it's updated by being more sweet than they used to be. I bought a 30 mL bottle and I'm perfectly happy with it. The bottle is like a little flask with flip top that's super cool. Scent: 7.5/10 Bottle/presentation: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 women I imagine who would wear this well: Sofia Vergara, Bette Midler, Ellen Barkin, Marisa Tomei, Christina Ricci, Regina King, Christina Hendricks.... you get the picture...

I'm a little late to the RL Woman Intense experience, not finding this gem until after it was discontinued. This is such a heady, creamy, lovely floral with dark fruit and vanilla woods. The tuberose is nearly too strong at first, which tuberose often is for ne, but then it blends back in. It's really wonderful, an almost gourmand fruity, vanilla, creamy, lightly spiced scent that has an almost boozy undercurrent to me. I detect a little interesting nuttiness though I don't see that in the notes. The rhubarb is light and well blended, which is good, I usually don't like rhubard, but it's nice. I also get the orange flower. I love orange flower scents and it's such a nice, light touch in RL woman Intense. Soooo disappointed that this has been discontinued. Update: I got a sample of Precious Oud Van Cleef & Arpels and to me it smells like a lighter version of RL Woman Intense, without the longevity or silage. I might be in the minority on that since most reviewers report Precious Oud smells like TF Black Orchid, which I also own, and to me those two didn't smell at all alike.

Hi. My current (now ex) partners birthday was a couple of weeks away and she had run out of her favorite, Armani Code. So I go searching and found it not so easy to find here anymore. I didn't want to give her anything common so started my search here for a quality white floral and just going on your ratings and reviews I backed this one. This fragrance rates very high for a reason, thanks to the quality noses out there. Code to Woman RL Intense we swapped a 'citrus honey vanilla white floral' to a 'vanilla currant sandalwood white floral'. While different fragrances this is on another level. Blended beautifully, the currant gives this woody vanilla white floral a natural slightly tart sweetness which is understated and near perfect. I can't stop smelling this and my partner may well be away bathing in it. I'll be due to buy another one soon, that's ok, I'll buy two. Anyone wearing this knows what they are doing. Thanks again to everyone rating this so well :)
