An icon in the game since 1967, the label’s logo T-shirts, shirts and jumpers take collegiate-cool style to fresh new heights. Shop our Polo Ralph Lauren at ASOS edit for our pick of the brand’s clothing, swimwear and accessories, all with that signature PRL aesthetic. Then there’s an unfortunate jasmine bomb that is set off in the middle of this perfume. I’m stunned to see that jasmine isn’t listed.
I get tons of compliments with people wondering what I am wearing. I have purchased the rollerball and the ralph lauren t shirt spray and prefer the rollerball. It stays on longer and sticks to my clothes so I can enjoy it for hours.
It is long lasting, about 6-8 hour on me, and I was all set to get a bottle, but there is something in the last stages of the drydown that I am not fond of. It may be the generic “wood” note, as that tends to make me feels little unsettled. The perfume itself is well done and reminds me of the quality of the older Ralph Lauren fragrances. Not a loud fragrance but still attention getting. I had just sprayed it on my arm in the store when a gentleman asked what i was wearing.
I first smelled this in a magazine after I accidentally opened the flap. It was one of the most beautiful scents I’ve smelled in a while. It’s creamy, beautiful, floral, pleasant, fresh. It reminds me of a confident and classy woman.
Like the extremely sour candy which makes me feel nauseated. It has the sweetness with the fruit and orange blossom touches on just right with Woods and other elements, none punching you in the face but done thoughtfully. I do like the packaging for Woman by Ralph Lauren with its cute, gold flip cap, similar in design to Cartier’s Baiser Vole. The minimalist, black and white themed commercial featuring actress Jessica Chastain also makes it clear that this fragrance is being pushed towards the over 25 age group.
This is one of those perfumey smelling perfumes, sort of like those “classic” older fragrances where the notes don’t really smell anything like the actual authentic ingredients. No authentic white flowers or indoles or anything, just a nice perfume-y rendition of them. I’m not a fan of white floral in general in fragrances, especially tuberose, polo dress shirts but hands down, this one by far has succeeded its purpose of convincing me otherwise. I started to like tuberose and jasmine NOW, from the moment I was introduced to “Woman” by coincidence. I play-tested this scent in the store while waiting for my husband to pick me up. After years of searching this is the perfume of perfumes.
Towards the heart, it becomes ever so slightly sweet, which will be sure to appeal to the current market. The dry-down is a very safe blend of softened pear, orange blossom and sandalwood. To me, smells like a clean, mature woman. I get pear and rhubarb most of the way through. It isn’t unpleasant but isn’t anything special either. I think I’d enjoy it more if the top notes were more in balance with the middle and base notes, as I definitely prefer it after it’s been mellowing for a good while.
When I spray it into the air or even the opening on my skin, it’s beautiful. However, very quickly this becomes an orange blossom dominant scent, just very perfume-y smelling ralph lauren t shirt and not much else. Borderline hairspray on the dry down on my skin. Normally I dislike tuberose because I think it overshadows all the other components in a perfume.
So I’ll enjoy the mini dabber bottle I have of it but I won’t be purchasing a full bottle. Overall though, it’s a nice, crowd pleaser of a scent of the fresher variety without being aquatic or soapy. I can’t believe no ones noticed that this is similar to Roberto Cavalli EDP for women, they are crazy similar. That juicy amber smell with a floral hint. I keep stopping mid review to sniff my wrists, god damn.
