Woman by Ralph Lauren Intense

Ralph Lauren Woman Intense is a deeply feminine, creamy floral with a rich vanilla-wood base that feels both luxurious and boldly sensual. Its opening features a luscious blend of black currant, rhubarb, and jasmine, creating a sweet yet tart initial impression that transitions into a sumptuous tuberose and orange blossom heart. The dry-down reveals a warm, velvety sandalwood and black vanilla core, giving the scent a remarkably smooth, cohesive elegance. It is not a fleeting or shy fragrance—on most skin types, it projects with moderate to strong sillage and demonstrates excellent longevity, often lasting 8+ hours and lingering on clothes for up to 10 hours. The performance is especially reliable on delicate skin, where it remains potent without losing character. Though not universally loved, many users describe it as being unapologetically feminine, elegant, and effortlessly memorable. Some find the intensity overwhelming—especially in the first few hours—but those who experience it appreciate its signature charm, finding it ideal for evening wear, date nights, or special occasions. A few note that certain skin chemistries may partially mute the fragrance or result in a less pronounced dry-down, but for those who connect with it, the effect is deeply satisfying. The bottle’s sleek black design adds to the sophistication, making it feel like a statement piece. While openly compared to D&G The Only One Intense and Armani Code Cashmere, it is distinct in its deeper, more gourmand profile, with a layer of intimacy that stays even when the initial burst fades. The scent is universally admired as wearable, sublime, and memorable for those willing to embrace its boldness.
