I absolutely love my fragrances and for me, they are quite a personal choice, not every perfume or aftershave suits everyone and whilst your absolute favourite scent smells incredible to you, to someone else it could be just horrid.
One fragrance I have worn every single day and one which I have had a lot of compliments on is the latest release from Ralph Lauren called Woman, a scent which is described as being one that embodies the duality of women:
For me, Woman by Ralph Lauren captures the very essence of modern femininity - Ralph Lauren
Inspired by Ralph Lauren's vision of a heroine - someone who is fearless yet feminine, strong yet expressive, she strikes an alluring harmony between audacious power and feminine grace. The ultimate embodiment of modern femininity, she leads like a woman.
If you like your fruity florals then this fragrance ticks both of those boxes and as I've said, this scent is right up there ticking those boxes for me. It opens strongly with notes of pear, rhubarb and blackcurrant to give that really sharp fruity kick and then as it begins to settle, the middle notes of tuberose, orange blossom and Turkish rose come into play and at this point, I knew the fragrance was for me, even before the base notes of sandalwood, Hazlenut and cedarwood bring the scent down to earth with their woodiness. With this fragrance, it is a case of less is more, one or two spritzes at most will be more than enough to last the entire day, it has a longevity of around 7-8 hours when I wear it for example.
I absolutely adore the bottle, simple yet elegant with its shapely glass bottle and gold accents but with the eyes being drawn to the flip top lid, something that you don't really see on perfume bottles anymore. The bottle design is said to have been chosen as it takes inspiration from the traditional shape of a flask with soft curves, for me, it looks every bit as luxurious as I would expect.
Perfect for any season, but warm enough for Autumn, this is a fragrance which is ideal for everyday wear, special occasions and even something a little formal. Woman by Ralph Lauren is available in three sizes 30ml (£49), 50ml (£69) and 100ml (£89) and it can be found online and in store at Boots (link)
