When I started designing women’s clothes it was with a menswear sensibility. I love women who take something that could have been masculine, and make it exceptionally feminine."—Ralph Lauren Sephora.com You’re known for choosing roles with a feminist bent. How do you choose which roles to take on? I think it happens really naturally. Elizabeth Sloane in Miss Sloane, she would never define herself as a feminist, even though I do personally. I look for female characters that are pushing against an expectation of what society has planned for them because it’s really interesting for me to play female characters that I recognize in my reality. I am constantly surrounded by these incredible women and I was just tired of not seeing women shown in media as they truly are. I’m definitely drawn to playing characters that embody reality.
And in terms of familiarity, about an hour into my first experience with Woman, I concluded: Paul Sebastian Design! Thank you, Robin29860, for confirming this: "I bought the rollerball because I loved this at first sniff! It doesn't last long on me but not much does for whatever reason. I still love it when I put it on - feminine, classic and classy. But in an adult woman way that suits me in my late 40s. It reminds me of the old Paul Sebastian Design so much I want to buy some and see if it wears the same on me. They each carry some of the same notes so I'll see!" And Sephora adds, "The unique fragrance inspired by the quintessential Ralph Lauren woman, Woman by Ralph Lauren embraces the very essence of the triumphant feminity [sic]. The scent combines feminine blooming florals and rich vibrant woods, capturing the alluring harmony of audacious power and feminine grace."

Low sillage, yes, though I extend her life substantially by spraying on cloth. Not a love, but a resounding LIKE, all too rare for me in modern perfumery!
Sillage: ( A Little / Average / A Lot) Woman was quite present in its opening but as it settled it became rather quiet, so much so that each time I've tried it, after about 30-45 minutes I've had to press nose to hand. That being said, it does indeed linger quietly. This would likely be safe for office and close quarters and for anyone who prefers their scent to remain subtle. What have you learned about fragrance from working with Ralph Lauren Fragrances? In the past when I thought about fragrance I never really thought about the way it can truly make a difference. We are in an interesting time right now because when I started the gender boundaries and rules started to get blurred about what is masculine and what is inherently feminine and those lines; I think we’re all questioning it. Through this collaboration with Ralph Lauren, I’ve realized that fragrance doesn’t have to be essentially male or female. We’re all different. What is feminine to me could be masculine to someone else. We’re all our own definitions of what it is to be a woman. That’s been a really eye-opening and exciting thing that I’ve learned that has coincided with Ralph Lauren. What’s your earliest fragrance memory? My earliest fragrance memory probably would be my grandmother. My grandmother is the most glamorous woman I know. I remember she’d come and visit us, she always looked so beautiful and she always had this smell about her. But I didn’t understand that because I was a little kid—I just knew it was grandma’s smell. And I remember sneaking into her bedroom and opening her drawers and smelling her sweaters because they still had her fragrance on them. I later found out she had a special perfume made for her and that’s what was grandma’s fragrance that I was remembering, but that was the first time that I understood that fragrance was a form of expression and it’s something that coincides with who you are and what you want to project.

How was working exclusively with an all-female cast and crew on the short film Leading with Intensity different without any men on set? I just felt relaxed and comfortable. I wasn’t in a situation where I was hit over the head with the fact that it was an all-female cast and crew. It just felt easy and I think that’s what all sets should feel like, no matter who is on set. There was a sense of camaraderie and everyone was there to create something special and we just got to work, down to business. And reviewer Whit offers a good overview of the fragrance: "This is a nice offering from Ralph Lauren. Upon first application, the orange blossom really stands out on my skin; it actually takes over the other notes. As it's settling, I get more of the hazelnuts and some woods along with the fruity nuances. To me, it smells like a floral-fruity gourmand. I can see a little bit of similarity with Angel Muse; they both have that nuttiness in them, they're kinda like distant cousins. This one isn't nearly a powerhouse though. I get moderate longevity and sillage, which is a little disappointing to me. I will say that is does have a sweetness to it, but to me, the floral and woodsy notes balance it out, keeping it classy. I bought the perfume and body cream so I can layer to make it last longer. I will say the body cream is really nice too; melts into skin and smells like the perfume. For seasons, I think it's more appropriate for cooler temps; spring, late fall and winter. Overall, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's nice and it's been a while since Ralph Lauren has put out anything that I've liked enough to buy." Summary: Ralph Lauren's newest women's fragrance since 2008, the simply titled Woman, avoids metaphorical marketing stories and simply focuses on a striking bottle, a successful actress (Jessica Chastain is pictrued in the marketing materials), and a beautiful tuberose-centered composition.
