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 :)

This scent is EVERYTHING to me. I loooove Olympea, and if Olympea is salt and vanilla, then this is the pepper to the salt. Woman Intense is extraordinarily well-blended. I wouldn't exactly call this a spicy scent, but I wouldn't say it's absent of spice either. It's sweet without being cloying. After some time, the tuberose comes to the party and she is there to stay. Honestly...this fragrance is just so damn wearable. It's great for a signature, great for a date night...great for work (with a lighter hand because her sillage is intense for the first couple of hours). My other favorite of the moment is Cloud, and this sort of feels like the CEO boss lady to Cloud's youthful internship. I love it and I'm happy to have it in my collection.

This is my go to perfume for a night out or for a date. I feel sexy, classy and sophisticated all at the same time wearing this. It has truly become one of my favorite perfumes and I will always have a bottle or two in my collection - as of right now I have stacked up three bottles. That’s how much I love it😂🫶🏼 To me it’s creamy with a flower-y touch and spicy, all at the same time... Ah so so good! This is not a mature scent but it will make you feel like a boss, if that makes sense. Also, it’s a compliment magnet. People will ask what you wear, both men and female. Very alluring.

First Impression - It's beautiful! I will try to describe this base on how I experience it on my skin. As it opens, I smell a bit of the original Ralph Lauren Woman, I then get the Jasmine from The Only One Intense. I can also smell bits of Tuberose and Orange Blossom as in Alien Fusion. Then as it dries down, I get small whiffs of Tresor Midnight Rose! Wow. Its just beautiful and very smooth. I am so enjoying this. This is my first day of wearing. The Original is dear to my heart and will always be in my top 5 but this is also quite good, a bit deeper and stronger.

This was more beautiful than I imagined. Definitely an underrated gem by Ralph Lauren. The black currant and tuberose really stand out to me. The vanilla adds just enough sweetness. This is a very pretty fragrance and can be worn year round. This very much reminds me of My Way by Armani as one of the other reviewers below stated. That's actually the first fragrance that came to mind. The most notable difference between the two is the bergamot note in My Way. It comes off slightly sour in comparison to Woman Intense. I'm surprised that My Way is not listed above.

I got a travel spray of this amazing perfume to add to my collection... It smells like money & magic! The only way I can describe it is if they condensed white flowers down into a thick, sweet ambery syrup and bottled it.. J'Adores sultry, sexy big sister. I probably won't wear it often because it is STRONG, and will fill a room with its essence, but it will be cherished and saved for special occasions <3 Update: On deep drydown I'm getting the black current and rhubarb ... smells like jammy plum... Sooooo beautiful

OMG this perfume is just stunning. The black currant and the tuberose is the star of this perfume. I got this at TJ Maxx for 49.99, what a steal. If you spray one or two sprays this can be a daytime scent, but for four or five sprays it definitely turns into a nighttime stent, if you’re a lover of black currant know this is a must for you. Overall smell nine out of 10 longevity eight out of 10 projection seven out of 10 overall 8.5 out of 10

I can’t say why I am so addicted to this scent but I am truly hooked. It’s not because I got four compliments in the three hours that I was out running errands. No, I think it is because it is unapologetically feminine, sexy and a little vulnerable, all at the same time. If Marilyn Monroe were still alive, I believe she would have a bottle of this sitting on her vanity right next to her beloved Chanel No. 5. This one is simply stunning...

Agreeing with several others that this compared to the original is such an odd experience. This one feels way less juvenile, more deep, rich, and mature without feeling old. It’s a black tie, wealthy scent that sticks for a long time. Very, very sexy. Gives luxurious man-eater vibes. Went from my every day to a night out event scent which I think gives it more justice. Will always keep this scent close by.

I bought this out of curiosity when people compare it to Dolce & Gabbana The Only One Intense. I can see the similarity in the opening but not in the dry down. Opening: I got Neroli and Jasmine just like D&G TOOI, then quickly it develops into blackcurrant and tuberose. Dry down: I got sweet caramelised smell blended with blackcurrant and end up like Viktor & Rolf Bonbon which I owned many years ago.

I am really impressed by this fragrance. It's a rich, deep, sweet tuberose with a bit of woody depth and vanilla. A comment was made below that this is a more 'developed' version of Armani My Way. Yes, most definitely. I love both fragrances but I think this one is a little bit better. Great staying power. It ticks all the boxes for me, including a good price.

I was so surprised to love this so much. I thought the original was pretty but not full bottle worthy to me. This takes it to another level - beautiful white flowers, sambac jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, amber yumminess. It smells sexy, alluring, and yet pretty at the same time. It has to be the blend, it's superb for a commercial scent.

I adore this one. When wearing it I sometimes wonder who is smelling so great? And then realise it’s me! I suppose because the whifts I get are so different from the first impression which is almost gourmand. Don’t get me wrong but it reminds me of the scented erasers I collected as a kid. Very grown up, elegant but with a sexy twist.

Another blind buy 🙈 I cannot find this one in my country so I had to order and wait until someone could bring it to me Instant love 😍 - it fills me with joy - and it's so rich and feminine, sexy or maybe sensual I believe I can stop adding on to my collection as I've notice I tend to like tuberose/floral/sweet perfumes.

I mostly get black currant and tuberose in the opening, and then vanilla in the base. Incredibly sexy UNLESS you overspray, which is quite easy to do. Tuberose can sometimes smell a bit mature but I think in this, it's a bit more playful and young but still not a perfume for teenagers in my opinion.

This is such a pretty perfume, a woody tuberose with a dark sweet vanilla. Unfortunately, it smells like D&G The Only One Intense without the coconut and slight green apple accord. I own D&G and it performs better so I don't need RL in my collection. If I want this kind of smell, I will go for D&G.
