90% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I was one of the lucky ladies chosen to attend the Womanity perfume party - thanks ChickAdvisor! IT was a great time and met some wonderful people and made a new friend!
Attending the party was perfect for me because I love trying new perfumes. I am definitely not brand loyal when it comes to perfurme and often have 4 or 5 bottles on the go (not to mention body sprays too!).
I was skeptical when we were told it was a sweet and salty scent. But, it actually was!
The scnet is very complex, and like a fine wine, has many layers. Right off the bat, on me I smelled a woodsy scent - I now know that to be fig tree. It developed into something that was salty - I still can't identify it as caviar, but it did remind me of the ocean in a way. The last scent, the one that lingesr, is a little sweet, mixed with the initial woodsy scent.
I love it! It is strong without being overpowering, and a great perfume to add to my rotation.
I also want to say that I very much appreciate Thierry Mugler's attention to detail - right down to decorating the inside of the box. And Kudos to Mugler for making this an eco-chic perfume that allows us to refill our bottle saving us money and the environment.
I'll be honest, when I first smelled this perfume I wasn't into it. I usually go for light and fruity smells (I realize I repeat this in many of my reviews!) so I think I was initially taken aback a bit by the distinct scent.
But when I attended ChickAdvisor's Womanity party I walked into the room and the first thing I thought was "wow this place smells great!" We learned that it's a blend of salty and savoury scents and one of the main components is fig! I found it really interesting to learn that when Thierry Mugler created this perfume, he asked for sweet and savoury scents, but NONE of the scents from their classic "Angel" fragrance could be repeated. I love that this is something entirely new and different!
Womanity is perfect for women who get noticed when they walk into a room because it's so unique.
And I must note that while I'm really not a huge fan of pink, there's just something about pink perfume bottles that I can't resist -- love this bottle! The fact that it is refillable is also a huge plus (not to mention incentive to go out and buy a refill for many people)
As I was attending the Chick Advisor party for this perfume (great party by the way!!!!!) my first thought when they started talking about the notes in this perfume had me a bit perplexed. This perfume has notes of fig and caviar. Yup... you read that right - caviar. Weird, no? That's what I thought. Weirder still when they told us that the caviar was to capture the essence of the 'salty' smell. I certainly didn't want to smell 'salty' but decided that I would give the perfume a try anyway. Boy am I glad that I did! It smells surprisingly pleasant. I quite like the scent actually, and it makes me think nothing of smelling 'salty'! The perfume had great lasting power, and I would say that it definitely would last me throughout the day. I like that the scent wasn't overwhelming, but if I walked by someone, they would just get a hint of a whiff. Just enough to get them interested ;) The bottle was very unique, and like the rest of Thierry Mugler's fragrances, it has the ability to be refilled. Always a bonus in my eyes! While I tend to have a few loyal perfume favourites, this is one that I will definitely add to my rotating perfumes. Loved it and would definitely recommend it to my friends and family. The only down side though, was that the spray comes out of the bottle with much more liquid and force than I would have liked (I prefer a light misting). Other than that, everything else about this perfume was great! Thanks ChickAdvisor for giving me the chance to smell and try out this new perfume!
I got to try this perfume at the Chick Advisor party. With the first spray I wasn't too sure if I was going to like it, it is quite strong when you first put it on. But after a little while it becomes more subtle and smells very nice. The next day I was out with a friend and as we were walking I asked her if she could smell something nice and then i realised it was the perfume!! I read another review and she had mentioned that it doesn't seem to last the whole day and I would have to agree with her. I don't reapply my perfume during the day and would prefer it if I didn't have to. Having said that it is a really nice perfume with a great smell and I will continue to wear it.
Also I think it is a very good idea that you can get your bottle refilled, wish more companies would do the same.
Fig and Caviar? My first reaction to the notes in this fragrance was confusion and worry. I tried Womanity at the exclusive perfume party held by Chickadvisor and let me say, you need to be open-minded to be able to accept the uniqueness of its scent.
It's very strong scent is apparent with a 1st, 2nd and many whiffs later. I was initially turned off by the salty notes, however, as minutes went by... I was intrigued. You get lured in by its mystery. The notes seem to ever change with your senses. It turns out that Womanity is a sweet and spicy scent that one can get accustomed to. Like I mentioned to the rep on-site, the perfume takes you on a journey from tanning on the beach, to splashing around in an ocean at night to frolicking in the forest looking for mischief... lol, I know funny, but it does take you into different settings you'd love to be in!
The bottle is edgy yet still conveys femininity. The bottle does spray a great amount, so best best is to dab or just press lightly.
P.S. I re-applied the fragrance on the TTC with a fellow chickie, and people were asking what this scent was? I even sampled Womanity on a couple of women who LOVED it!!! So yes, ppl will be curious to know what you're wearing...!
Well I needed to wear it a few more times to make a good report on Womanity. I like the complexity of the scents, and there is so much interesting-ness going on! This IS positive. Somehow, however, it just doesn't last as long as I would like it to. Seems many have said it has staying power for them, but - and while I don't mind reapplying sometimes - I would prefer something that stayed on for a few hours at least. I am still going to keep wearing it though, as even my housemates think its interesting, and they often don't even notice these things!
Thanks again, Chicks Ali and (oh I never got her name but she too was so sweet) for the invite. Great space you have, and ... gee, thanks for getting us into the Starbucks cupcake (hm, where would that review go?).
So sure, try it out. It's always nice to find something a little different. And sweet and salty on your neck... Well...
ALSO, really offer kudos to Thierry Mugler for offering refills on the bottles. They are the only one really to offer this in mass market, and it shows a lot about where they are at. If you aren't aware, for their others - including the yummy Angel - you can bring back your bottle, and save $20 when you get it refilled over buying new packaging. Great.
Thanks so much for inviting me to the party! I love Angel, so I was really excited to try this perfume. I wasn't disappointed. I thought it might be too strong to wear during the day but it isn't. It mellows out and lasts all day.
The scent itself is almost similar to other Thierry Mugler perfumes but there's enough of a difference that it doesn't smell like anything else.
Love it!
Thank you to the Chick Advisor ladies for choosing me to be one of the lucky ones to attend the Womanity Perfume Party and review this perfume! When we first walked into the room, I was amazed at how wonderful it smelled.... then was told that it was the perfume! I have to admit that when I first put it on, it was not like any other perfume that I have ever tried. I was disappointed that it didn't smell as pretty on me as it did in the room :( But after a few minutes it mellowed into a great scent that got me a few compliments when I was out yesterday :) Its not sweet and overpowering like some perfumes, but is so light and lasts all day.
P.S. Thank you for the samples - my next mission is to win over my friends and make them all LOVE this perfume!
I was very happy and honoured to be chosen to attend the Womanity Perfume Party since it's my first in person review! I got to meet Ali for the first time and met many nice chickadvisor members. I was very excited to try this new perfume by Mugler because I just adored Angel! At first when I sprayed it on my wrist, I found it very strong because it's so woody, but then after a few minutes it faded to being sweet. Sweet and salty, who would have thought!? It's a very creative concept and Mugler never dissapoints! I love all his perfumes and Womanity will go into the favourites category. Once I finish this sample bottle, I will definately go to have it refilled! Another neat concept! Thank you Ali and Chickadvisor for giving me this opportunity to review Womanity and for the wonderful gift bag!
