I wore it out on a night where it was a little colder than usual and got nothing but positive responses. No fishy smell, but I can definitely sense the caviar/marine notes. The opening is much the same as the original, with a burst of bitter-smoky woods. I think I may have found my signature. A disappointment. But what I love about Womanity EDP is the salt and the metallic edge. I love Strawberries so this should be interesting indeed. If this was an EDP this really could've been up their with it's older sister but she's certainly following in her footsteps. I came here to check the reviews on this womanity flanker - I crunched my nose with the negative reviews, I laughed with some and I enjoyed the controversiality -Mugler, oops, you did it again. Anyone who claims this is a fresh, "lighter" Womanity is fooling themselves. they probably tried to tame the beast in order to make it more accesible. The hints of the original add interest and there are nice wafts of sweet strawberry. A drop of salty water. This time with an added fruity sweetness as opposed to a savoury sweetness. Wish it lasted longer though. Even now, about 12 hours later I can smell the woody fruityness radiating off of my hand, dispite a few hand washes. Really luscious and very appealing. If you are a fan of these notes like I am, you might be very pleasantly surprised!! On initial spray, the original Womanity was there. I will say, as the strawberry and fig are very dominant, that if you are not a fan of these notes, this scent will most likely not work for you. So, I thought cause of strawberries here is will be softer, more mild and more wearable for me. Definitely not for faint of heart or blind buying. lol It can also be very erotic. It smells SO sexy, like a romantic rendezvous on a luxurious yacht, in the middle of the ocean, at sunset. I smell the salty water , sweet milky figs and the strawberries. A light, musky scent comes trough after a few hours. This is really similar to the original, but the added strawberry note made it easier to wear. Like original Womanity, its a fragrance tipping on the beach strand without any sun, sand, holiday cheer or tropicalia, a frigid Venus rising from the sea in a lead-gray metallic shell. A much softer WOMANITY in prettier bottle. i cant tell the difference between this and womanity,but the bottle looks better and longevity is lower. I was hoping it was the original Womanity, but it was just this flanker. The strawberry brings out the fig much more too. On the other hand, Eau Pour Elle was supposed to be the crowd-pleasing alternative, much more palatable and loved by many. The herbiness was amazing and smelled so fresh and unusual. I have the original Womanity, which I think is a true masterpiece, but not easy to wear, I find it more suitable for wintertime. There is no savory spice as there is in the Taste of Fragrance version. Those Muglers' are always playing tricks on people.. Everyone gets something different.. To me, this smells like the sea. it's unexpectedly fantastic!!!! If there ever was a strawberry fragrance this was it and it lasted a good amount of time it was gorgeous..Yes Womanity was better as far as richness but this was it's own beautiful creation i actually craved for the strawberry note and freshness and wanted to get another bottle for Mother's day and now I can't dammit! But I saw it again and I thought that I have to try it out, and I am glad I did. I advise this perfume to all women who have strong personality and enjoy themselves. If you already possess the original, and you're not particularly into strawberry, I don't see the point of purchasing it, though it's still good. I just bought it yesterday, and wanted to give it a quick review to help out anyone who wants to buy it. Berries and salt. This smells nearly identical to the original ( which is a favorite of mine) however it doesn't last as long and there's the addition of a strange waxy, strawberry shortcake doll head smellor strawberry lipsmacker. in trying to figure out how to open the sample of this, i managed to spill a bit on my arm. It gave me a headache. For a long time I was in a so called 'Hate group'. Smells like when you're driving toward the ocean on the highway with the windows rolled down. The stawberry is not lemonade-like, thank god. It smells sweet and a little fruity on me. The quality of the strawberry note is nice, but I can't stand it, personally. This definitely carries the DNA of the original Womanity (sweet and salty). I sprayed this, and it smelled EXACTLY like I was 15 again, stuck in a classroom, or after gym, with a bunch of other 15 year old girls, all lotioning themselves up and spraying themselves into oblivion with Bath and Body Works stinking creations, which had just opened up in THE MALL. They translate as "fresh," which is exactly what I prefer. So basically on me it's strawberries and caviar. This is the scent of a grown woman who knows what she wants. Dries down to virtually nothing on me. A great flanker that is a slightly more wearable version of Womanity EDP. If Mugler scents are sold (at least in Canada), this is what you will probably get. I tried the original Womanity in autumn and it smelled terrible on my skin, way worse than on paper, dry and metallic. I don't think I can have such a good relationship with you. But sorry, original Womanity.. This one is a tat easier to wear than womanity EDP , which is quite strong and different. The quality is great, and it seems Mugler is generous with samples. :))) I tried hard but i can't smell any strawberry in it, thank God! This does NOT smell fishy at all, on my skin I get sweet strawberry jam with salt. (Yes, this was the 90s!!). This is some interesting sauce! Would have preferred to sample the original Womanity, but I was already wearing Chanel No5 ( a weak flop on my skin, but that is another review). For some odd reason it also smells of sex. Dare I say it reminds me of Daisy Eau so Fresh???? The smell of the sea is uncanny in this when you first spray it, which is really impressive. Yes ,it`s very fresh scent,very romantic,light and perfect for every day use.It`s not strong and easy to recognised like Womanity,it`s like whisper around you.I`m not sure that I`ll keep this one,maybe I`m gonna try to change it for something else,but in my opinion this version is not so good as Womanity,in fact not even half good.I love so much original version Womanity,which is one of the best scent made ever ,but this one.,way too simple for this brand. Eau pour Elles is a different story. I am able to now smell the fig (I could not in the original), the salt, and the strawberry. I immediately put it on the perfumes I dislike list. I was so curious about the notes I bought it smelled unseen. Aroma by Costa Brazil: Candidate For Best Fragrance 2022? Then after about 30 minutes, something else crept up on me. The sensual quality of the woods and fig is not present here either. There's a distinct spicy, peppery, musty smell which i guess is the combination of marine and caviar notes that assaulted my nose especially in the first hour after spraying. That's o.k. A fruitier take on the original Womanity, for sure, but not any less daring or unique! OVER ALL unique, modern, daring, and ultra fem. Nah. Womanity Eau pour Elles is a little sweeter than the original but overall not too different. I am not gonna say anything about the silage and lasting power cuz this is Thierry Mugler and we all know why his fragrances are so popular. I simply love this smell, it's very special, like no other. Its sweet, its fresh and fem. Perfume for a hot night Actually, a party night! Sampled this one 1 or 2 months ago on a paper card, and this is absolutely lovely. I thought that I didn't like aquatic notes but this is an example of a composition where I find them quite pleasant. Probably a flanker to please the younger or those whose chemistry didn't bode well with the original. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! Perfumes: 73,888 First of all, I really disagree with the way the fragrance is marketed I do not imagine the community of jolly women. Having hated the original womanity for its too intense and funky caviar scent, I have to admit I adore this one! No, it's not gonna be my signature scent, but it's so different than the perfumes that are on the market. Love it!! Despite being a "fresh" scent, Womanity EPE lasts 12+ hours on my skin in true Mugler house fashion. I'm pretty sure I can't actually smell any caviar in there. The bottle fits this creepy/cute fragrance perfectly and if you watch the French movie "The City of Lost Children" while you huff, you'll find it fits the movie perfectly. I went to a store wearing this perfume and a guy working there said: "You smell like strawberries and you can tell it's not a cheap one", hahaha Best description ever! Use this one in moderation or not if you don't care about people's opinions! I LOVE the original Womanity! If you've smelled the original one, this is similar but WAY sweeter and watered down. I did not like the original Womanity, its was cloying, linear and pungent. This is definitely more oceanic and salty than OG Womanity. since the last summer..oh i can't wait to wear it again..it's perfect for warm days..it's a lighter version of womanity plus strawberries (finally! The only version of Womanity that I could wear. But its simply gorgeous on my skin. The strawberry here is most certainly synthetic smelling, but as with plenty of Mugler scents, the synth scent creates a neon-glo effect that works with the scent nicely, instead of smelling like cheap soap. I like how this adds a deeper kind of sweetness. If you like strawberry, this IS a good fragrance. This is surely a love it or hate it scent. but not my style. I can not stand the smell, it is revolting for me. | Deutsch | Espaol | Franais | etina | Italiano | | Polski | Portugus | | | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. It reminds me of musk candy or when you initially walk into a LUSH store. The perfume is very controversial and not something everyone would love (so try before you buy, but try on the skin rather than on the paper). This scent isn't innocent at all. Yet the list of fragrance notes is so short! It likes moisture, so be sure to have pampered your self with a long bath, then put it on and sit in the hot summer breeze. But the fig note is just not pleasent to my nose. thank you. And what weather is that?Hot, and humid. Now is just a beautiful bottle on my furniture. so it looks like Im going to go ahead and buy actual womanity, as a birthday treat to myself. i love it! And if you can appreciate this smell you'll start to have fun with it. Where the original and the Taste of Fragrance versions were certainly complex, this is decidedly one-dimensional. Not a scent I would want to wear but I appreciate it for being different, trying something different. I personally think that, if they'd toned down the strawberry a lot or left it out entirely, this would have been a much better perfume. You can definitely tell this is a flanker of Womanity, but compared to the coldness of the original, it's tame and much more approachable, and the scent is soft for a Mugler. Blind bought in TK Max as a friend wears the original & I loved it on her, was a bit apprehensive as I have read reviews of the original, realised I had a flanker & was so cheap! I've had the Womanity, Angel and Allien but to me this is the best Thierry Mugler fragance. I got Eu pour Elles, as initially I really liked its freshness. It's very sweet but it's ripe and lightly honeyed, not candied. Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. Im wondering which scent is my fav. When it eventually starts to fade you get the fig and marine accord underneath which is an interesting combination. Beautiful indeed. Angel is my nemesis and Alien works with my chemistry only sometimes. I wouldn't trade that for the strawberry note, which is nice, but I feel beside the point for the concept behind this fragrance. Simply the best perfume ever. I respect the original womanity for being so in your face, strong and figgy. I see myself, 15 years younger, a teenager, embarrassed but free in my bikini, feeling the crust and scratch of sand grains as I imprint my feet in it, running to the water, swimming, cautious of jellyfish, floating in the water, catching the salty breeze, hearing the cheerful screams of children running away from the waves and then chasing them again, feeling the sun and salt purify me. I got a few samples of Mugler fragrances from my local department store. I've tried to ware it 2 or 3 times but it only makes me sick unfortunately. Weirdest scent I have ever tested on my skin. I smell original Womanity with strawberry, and a deeper focus on the woodier aspects. Up until very recently, I did not know that there was a difference between Womanity and Womanity pour Elles. The fig and the strawberry are the stars, while the other slightly more atypical notes offer support. I went back and forth for days between liking it or disliking it, and finally decided to return it because it just didn't mesh well with my skin chemistry. I love it. Loved it, but felt burnt out on it. What an unexpected, pleasant surprise! Unfortunately, all I could find was Eau Pour Elles. It has a very strong almost medicinal smell to it that kinda puts me off, but then i get the gorgeous wafts of strawberry and fall in love! EPE has the same salty-fresh-fig of the original, though the green tones and milkiness of the fig is toned down a bit. The smell is very true to pyramide-plenty of caviar, sea water and green fig, with strawberries as the opening. I want it to hold all my secrets and mist me with strength and sex and knowledge. I picked it up and said "oh, I remember this perfume.. (Strange, that no one mentioned that in the comments.) On me, Womanity is kinda sweet but Eau pour Elles is more woody, and stronger. Probably the caviar and sea notes. I'm having trouble assessing this, because when I sprayed it I just couldn't stand it. I went looking for Elles today at my local Macys and had no luck. Really pleasant, lasts about 4-5 hours, and I think it works well year round. I get some fruity strawberry in the opening. Absolutely adore this flanker, its a fresher, more transparent and approachable take on the original, which I happen to love as well. I'm sorry, I just cannot get past the smell of unwashed bodies. The longevity is 7h+ and the sillage is moderate. I love the original and love this one. I bought a sample and no, I dident like it even after the dry down. I was so scared to try this one because all the negative comments. So the strawberry gives the whole scent a wash of bright, juicy, sweetness that boosts the fig's own fruitiness. They say this is a softer version of Womanity but, at least on my skin, it's not. It took me a few hours into it to really appreciate the strawberry when I would get strong beautiful whiffs of strawberry goodness. This was an impulse blind buy today at Marshall's. I blind bought this knowing full well Thierry Mugler fragrances and I do not always get along well. It makes my nostrills flare open.The sweet strawberries show up first but there's no hiding. Strawberries, freshly sitting with figs and an aquatic edge. This is what the first Womanity should of been. This is a good summer scent. But Womanity Eau pour Elles is dominated by a rather synthetic-smelling strawberry, making it substantially sweeter and fruitier. The strawberries dominated this for the last couple of hours, it was sweet yet not overly so (perhaps the fig was toning it down), as true to a real strawberry as possible! i love it! This is such a pretty strawberry scent but not when you smell it closely. I absolutely love it. I fall in love and then what I already have an original Womanity and even though I like it a lot, I find it a little bit cloying, especially the opening. While I adore other-ALL- creations of Mugler, I am getting rid of my bottle. Ill save money to reward myself! This is a love! It's an EDT, and slightly less strong, but it still has great longevity and throw, as many Mugler EDTs do. I love womanity but this was only 21 for 50in Debenhams online so I thought I would try it before deciding to buy womanity. I layer it with Mugler Cologne sometimes. I think this is the caviar. i discovered perfect strawberry in perfume) and marine notes.Sometimes it smells like a wet ground..and i like it too! A slighter more shy edition in both silage and longevity than the original. I cannot really describe it any better than most below me have. Very similar to the orig just with strawberry and without the PUNCH from Womanity. I've always avoided Womanity like the plague, but I received a sample of this one for free and had to try it. I received this in a swap last winter and instantly HATED it! This fragrance playing with me "love me , love me not".I trying it from time to time already couple of month at Sephora and Douglas and still confused:). This was my first Thierry Mugler, a blind buy, and I liked Womanity Eau pour Elles instantly the first time I tried it (although it did give me a headache for awhile). I have phases when I like womanity and phases when I don't. , almost a cold scent , like wind by the sea, with a metal tinge . Within minutes it had settled down into this mouth watering, wintery fig scent lightly sweetened with strawberry. I don't know what but it was dirty, rotten, and almost smelled bloody. I would like to buy both. OMG~I WANT THIS! Since everyone made up false attacks on the original Womanity, Mugler got in on the joke this time. It is too young (I am 28, for reference). Then there's the sweet-salty-fresh scent from the original. Now, after some time, however, it feels too sweet-strawberry to me and I no longer enjoy using it.
