It smells incredibly -feminine-, and a little bit like a room full of hairspray and who-knows-what perfume, in a very good way. I don’t know if I want a bottle of it yet, but it conjured up some very fond memories for me. This is all tuberose on my skin with a really sweet pear note. I do smell fruit, which could remind some of body spray or shampoo. It’s melded together perfectly with orange blossom and tuberose and hints of creamy-dreamy wood. A fragrance with simple, satisfying beauty, neither boring nor overly complex.
The orange blossom emerges somewhere in between, but blends in well. This has admirable lasting power and gets more cozy as it wears on. 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. I can’t detect any of the hazelnut or the rose notes on my skin however.
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 polo dress shirts 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.
The Company has established a partnership with athletes serving as brand ambassadors and as the faces of the advertising, marketing, and public relations campaigns. The company entered the European market, and went international, in 1981 with the opening of the first freestanding store in New Bond Street in the West End of London, England. Lauren opened his first flagship in the Rhinelander mansion, on Madison Avenue and 72nd Street in New York City in 1986. On June 12, 1997, the company becomes a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. Polo Ralph Lauren – the flagship brand of the company.
I can get away with wearing this for pretty much any occasion and for many parts of the year. Plus, I am always receiving compliments when I wear this. Definitely will be keeping this in my collection for a while.
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.
Very nice floral scent with a hint to musk. Beautifully blended tuberose, polo dress shirts pear, black currant & rhubarb. Dry down is warm, slightly sweet & woodsy.
Rhubarb is kind of a trendy note right now, and I like the tart edge it lends to Woman in the opening. Underneath that is a creamy and smooth bouquet of classic florals, with a buttery but clean tuberose as the main note. The hazelnut really comes out in the drydown, and it smells delicious, like it was sugared and roasted. The pear gives the fragrance a slightly cooling edge. I’m not particularly fond of their fragrances for women, I tend to avoid fruity florals and aquatics but this is a much welcomed change. The base is smooth and creamy and provides a good backdrop for the pear and the black currant.
