Very classy beautiful scent, I’ll be taking it into fall. They say golden themed fragrances are marketed to a more ‘mature’ audience and I’m sure that’s the intent, though in this case I have to say Woman appears to me rather ageless. Not old fashioned or heavy in any way, yet warm and welcoming and oh-so feminine.
I bought a sample and honestly, it’s just a very basic, blah, bland white floral. Absolutely nothing special about it and nothing that would make it/me memorable in any way. I prefer strong/loud perfumes so this just doesn’t fit for me. Maybe for someone who is shy and doesn’t want to be noticed but still wants to smell pretty.
It’s very pretty, sweet, floral, woodsy and quite wearable. Matches with casual clothing or semi formal blouses and dresses. When i was at the mall 2-3 months ago i was sniffing my way around the perfume counters with a sales associate tailing me trying to sell me on certain frags. She held up RL woman and told me to try it and i politely declined. I hadn’t smelled anything that i loved by RL since Ralph when i was 18. I had gotten a magazine with the insert inside and decided to smell it without being pressured to buy it.
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.
As far as florals go this one is quite lovely if inoffensive, uncomplicated, and rather innocent as well. This Ralph Lauren Woman is quite young but over 18, under 30, inexperienced but getting there. The flowers fade into the background and then you detect hazelnut and woodsy notes. The wood is not big and in fact it’s quite clean, a tad soapy and a good finish to a simple scent. This smells like a more mature version of Britney Spear’s Curious. The pear and tuberose notes really stand out to me in both fragrances.
The white floral is well done here, really smooth and not super heavy. I don’t get a lot of rose, the tuberose drowns it out on ralph lauren t shirt my skin. There is a brief tangy note in the very beginning but this settles in to “pretty floral” almost right away on me.
A petition through Change.org was set up to encourage Ralph Lauren to take action. In 2004, the Polo Fashion School was established, in which company executives work with inner-city youth to offer insights into the fashion business. Ralph Lauren Corporation is the exclusive Official Parade Outfitter for the U.S.
