A wonderful fragrance! I like this most from the LF series. It is one of those fragrances where you like everything about. It is round, fine, velvety and even gives a nice leather impression to me. It’s nice almost immediately after spraying without going through any “heavy” phase and suits better colder weather. Reminds me of Wonderlust Sensual Essence of MK but is a bit more “quiet” though still sexy and warm. Love it.

I received samples on Friday, and ordered a FB on Saturday. I found a number of very wearable loves thru my search during the past year, but this is the first frag I’ve tried that really wowed me, it’s so different. Yes, it’s strong at first spray, but beautiful, and It settles down quickly enough that I don’t wait to leave the house for fear I’ll knock someone out.
I’m not good at identifying individual notes, so I’ll leave that to others. (I wouldn’t know a tuberose unless it had a sign on it.) What I like best for me, there is just the right amount of floral, woods, patch and a touch of vetiver, which I like. Not too much of one thing or another, not too sweet, no sharp or funky notes to get through to, hopefully, something nice on the other side. It’s not a real changeling, more linear in the sense that I can still smell all the nuances through beginning, middle, end. I really don’t care for scents that smell great for maybe an hour, then I’m left with only musk, or only patch, or only vanilla for the rest of it’s life.
This is rich, someone mentioned ‘like a fine wine.’ I would say more like a fine cognac.

Sweet,rich and velvety ,smells very purple to my nose. Of plums and dark grapes. It’s like an updated version of poison, very sexy scent. I find this best for nighttime and winter , although I never go by these rules ,i have been known to wear angel in 100 degrees. However for someone more conscious this would make a great nighttime cooler weather scent. But with a light hand you could make this your signature. It’s very long lasting and one of my favorite perfumes since the day it came out. One of my husbands favourites ,it’s one he alsways says” yumm” when I wear it.

Am I the only one that doesn’t find this intense? The opening is but within minutes it basically fades away. Maybe I’m nose blind … Right after I sprayed it on my 15 year old boy said “mom that’s the first perfume that actually smells good” lol. I really love the smell I just wish I could smell it longer. The opening is an intense smoky ylang ylang. Beautiful rich dense ylang. Soon it fades to the background and vintage smelling tuberose like the tuberose in fracas is front and center backed up by patch. Next it takes on a sweet almost fruity smell than I can’t smell it anymore. It’s truly beautiful and different than modern florals. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to smell it longer eventually. It sounds weird but some perfumes that I can’t smell for long or intensely… after I put them away for a while I eventually am able to smell them once I wear it again.

I had lunch with a colleague today and I kept getting whiffs of this amazing fragrance. Obviously I had to ask her what she was wearing.
I raced to the dept. store after work and squirted some on.
I’m in love! But it’s so expensive, argghhh.
What I was smelling on her – 5 hours after she must have applied it – was an airy ozonic ‘red’ kind of aroma. Frequent wafts of tuberose, and yes, ever so slight tropical floral – but not in that suntan lotion kind of way. Definitely a sexy perfume, more for cooler weather and night time I’d say. Mature confident women need only bother.
It’s so easy on the nose. I keep smelling my wrist. I want to draw a similarity to Red Door (god forbid) as there’s something airy and wafty about both of these fragrances.

This is beautiful. Truly beautiful. I’m a big fan of Andriers work and this is no exception, I think the way it complements the men’s version is clever also. This is the second time this year that a ylang ylang fragrance has wowed me but I’d say this isn’t your typical yellow floral nor is it in anyway your typical tuberose, I actually found iris to be prominent. I think all the florals in here conspire to create an almost exotic fruity vibe, coming from the frangipani more than likely but the powdery smoothness of iris making it all come together. It’s feminine but not completely outside the realms of wearing for me. I found it to be a very warm, oriental fragrance definitely check it out.

While La Femme is a beautiful lady too shy to dare to be beautiful, La Femme Intense is the same lady who dares to be beautiful. And bold.
La Femme Intense does not have that shy undertone present in La Femme that has conquered me the very first time I tried it.
LFI is, yes, intense.
She has a strong patchouli note that accompanies Her Majesty the Tuberose and a regal ylang and takes them into a swirling dance. At first it may be a bit intimidating as both the tuberose and the patchouli note are very strong, but after a while they settle down and the scent becomes soft, almost purring like a cat. I find this is quite unique as usually strong perfumes end up being overwhelming or cloying but this is not the case. I admire its being so smooth and gentle despite being so strong.
Frangipani is a lovely background note that balances the strength of the two main characters (patchouli and tuberose) adding a soft, innocent, almost maternal hue that prevents the scent from becoming vulgar.
It could have been Norma Desmond’s signature.
Sillage is not enormous and this is good as otherwise it would trap each and everyone in the same room.
You end up being trapped only if and by whom you choose.
VERY BEAUTIFUL

Very, very, very strong (but not sharp), and intense Yang Ylang in this intense version from the opening, while in the original La Femme, tuberose is the beautiful queen. I love the original and still have not made up my mind yet about this intense one, keeping it or returning it. The dry down, however, is more pleasant to my nose and unfortunately I have to wait to get to that stage 🙂
I apologize for my personal oninion on this one: compared to the original La Femme, this one seems to add 10 more years to my age for wearing it :)))
Latest update: I tried it again today and the Ylang Ylang was gone quicker and was not THAT strong anymore. NOW I can see what other positive reviews are about.
On me today, it has screamed CREAMY TUBEROSE in such a lovely, velvety composition…like smooth fine wine 🙂 Its “dimension” is deeper and richer than the original EDP. All the notes “orchestra” so well altogether!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE…Of course, I’m keeping this bottle FOR SURE!

This perfume is for all of ladies who hate the mainstream of fruitchouli trend and are wondering where the good old days of perfume industry have been gone.
I tried this perfume because of the very luxury bottle which almost screams its classy nature! The bottle is definitely chic with half-classic and half-leather feature.
At first sniff, all I get is velvety tuberose and jasmine mixed with a punch of powdery flowers. Only later, ylang-ylang appears and gives it the classic vibe. (ever noticed that most classic perfumes have ylang-ylang and orange blossom?) It keeps getting sweeter and more powdery. It doesn’t exagerrate on sweetness, the exaggeration is on floral and powdery parts. Patchouli is barely there without making it earthy. It just makes it more intense, which is the point here.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to have a perfume like this in my wardrobe, but I appreciate people who would want to.
nzi401speagoessenda – :
This perfume is surprisingly good! It’s definitely on the warmer, feminine side. It reminds me of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison but this would be a lighter, more floral version. It’s not too overwelming, it still has it’s freshness and the notes are very well balanced. It’s womanly!
fullvip – :
I tried it today and I´m really impressed. Very intense and elegant.
alexeyromeo – :
Uhhhh, get it off! I hate it. This smells hot-too spicy. Nothing feminine about it! It’s not really masculine either. I think it’s the wood I dislike so! It’s been a while since I’ve hated a scent so strongly. It smells like 1980’s cheap dime store cologne. No, just, no!

I LOVE THIS PERFÜME!
It is GORGEOUS!
A lovely Christmas Gift from my husband. I requested this as a gift. I personally never smelled it prior. But, read the notes and reviews and knew I’d like it. But, I didn’t know I’d actually love it. First spray,…. I was in love. It blew me away. It smells so sophisticated and well made. Rich, Opulent, Floral, …It’s A Sexy as HELL feminine floral. That Silage is amazing and the longevity is great. Which is something to be said by me. Because NOTHING lasts on me or projects well on me. But, this in incredible quality all the way around and has become my favourite and fast. I’m not going to get into the specific scents. It’s already been done here on Frangantica and very well I may add. This Fragrance is for women who like High Class, Eloquent Florals ( well Blended florals) that are trûely “INTENSE”. Prada NAILED THIS!!!
P.S. The Bottle itself is GORGEOUS. It’s heavy, well made and well designed. With a curvature to fit in the hand comfortably. There’s a grip pad on the bottle as well. There’s no dropping this one.
P.S.S. IMHO This smells nothing like Poison.
Hoonlilkinvar – :
The opening is thick and almost cloying, like the original one, but this one is more opulent and dark. I say dark not in a sexual way,this one isn’t sexy, it is just dark.
With the original one, i had a hard time picking individual notes, with this one it was easier. I got an intense tuberose, very well made, very feminine, fresh. A very waxy iris and something sharp that irritated my nose. I also get something summery, but i don’t know if it is the ylang or the frangipani.
This version is better than the other one. It is not so sterile. It is cold, but it has a bit more personality than the original.
I imagine a middle aged medieval duchess wearing it. On winter. This is not a summer fragrance. Forget about the ylang and the frangipani, they’re not enough to make this perfume summery. One could only wear it in summer in cold, windy days.
This is an elegant and aristocratic fragrance, not something for everyday.
Also not something to blind buy.
Projection is between an arm length and 6 feet of distance.
Not my cup of tea, but well made.
P. S: test it on skin. In the bottle it smells like rotten fruit.
bic – :
Am I the only one who sees similarity between this and Coco Mademoiselle? They both share the same notes: patchouli, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, vetiver, jasmin. No wonder Prada La Femme felt so familiar.
Aerohoplenerifcj – :
Yes, intense is a suitable word for this tropical flowers in bloom.
I get an intense hit of ylang, Frangipani and tuberose. It’s definitely a tropical floral backed with patch. I think the iris and vanilla softens this a bit so it doesn’t manage to get too loud. It’s not very sweet either but just right.
The vetiver and neroli are much more evident after a short while as the tropical flowers calm down. It calms down to just a skin scent me quite quickly. I am testing this in a very cool environment so it could be very different in the heat.
This is definitely a scent for evening wear.
This is the scent of a Diva. Girls need not apply.

A perfume for a woman, a woman who knows how to be a woman, full stop. The rest of them cuties, sweeties, pinky bimbos, young and brainless who seek individuality in a french style perfume go over Chanel, they have a new Gabrielle there, that doesn’t even smell anything so you’re gonna be okay; just don’t even come over here. Unless you wanna grow up, then this is a wonderful start.
This is from first spray patchouli heavy, the notes might indicate tiare and ylange; sure, we got that too somewhere in the developing of the scent, but patchouli announces its presence right away, and even though it does not project like the Angel patchouli, it’s still there with its herbal, medicinal, green and dirtyish aspects under the full on white floral top. Dry, perfumey, tuberose heavy, but not cloying, medicinal, phenolic,metholated, very sexy, powdery. Along the lines of Tom Ford White Patchouli, but not a copycat, they are just in the same family.
The original is sweeter, more tropical and kinda balsamic, if I recall properly, but this one is so dry it’s to die for. It’s perfume, not food, not cookies, not vanilla, just PERFUME. Well done Daniela Adrier, I also loved your Candy Gloss as well!

Hi fragrance hive 🙂
I’ve had a spray if this today at dept store.
I have the la femme edp already.
Straight off I got a whiff of something that’s similar to ysl opium. Not the same, but that was a knee jerk feeling.
What that is I don’t know. ..please if you think you know tell me, I struggle a little with actual notes, I rather talk in terms of feel and previous comparisons.
It’s gone softer now, but I’ve had washing up gloves on so it’s changed it slightly.
Seems in line with the edp version but has this creamy white spice, it hits you when you spray it. I will try it again when I’ve got no other scents on.

Prada la Femme intense is amazing , I already quite liked the original but it was to me more summer , more daytime and a little fleeting . This is much richer , more velvety and more nighttime. It’s basically the sexy much more feminine version of the original. The original is clean and fresh , more summertime ,This version is creamier , more feminine and very interesting , it went right to my top shelf , prada did it again and I do like many of Daniela Andriers creations.
Sweet , rich and velvety almost smells of plums and fruit , was an instant love for me 🙂 I agree it’s sort of like an updated poison ! It’s a men’s magnet like poison.
Also love the bottle , the men’s version is my next purchase for him !

The original Prada la Femme didn’t do much to me but this one is exquisite.
The Ylang Ylang at the opening wowed me. Bright yet not bubblegum-y Tuberose is lovely and …. the very true Frangipani makes it really special.
I live in Tropical Far North Queensland in Australia. Frangipani is everywhere here… we’ve got four trees in our garden. (They have dark berry red flowers just like the colour of the bottle) In season, its sweet, sultry scent pleases us alot.
Whenever my hubby finds a still-fresh flower on the ground he would give it to me so that I can wear it in my hair.
Prada La Femme Intense is, to me, that sort of small but precious moments of life in the bottle. Thank you Prada 😉
Sillage is soft to moderate.
It stays over 8 hours.
I do not think this is 80s type of fragrance. This is not a big loud one.
Also, I own Dior Poison and wear it sometimes. Yes they share some notes but I don’t find them similar.
вовуська – :
Wow I like this much better than the original.
I smell sweet balmy ylang with mentholated patchouli, some vetiver and jasmine.
Doesn’t have the bubblegum or washing powder smell of the original.
I think its bright and classy smelling.
Perfect for warm weather.
basyvalera – :
Holy menthol-animalic tuberose delight! There is something so enticing and seductive about this scent… eroticism in a bottle. and when that musty patchouli enters the picture…perfection. I must have a FB!
lvh940elipseskism – :
This is very very strong. It’s completely without sweetness. Kind of old-fashioned smelling, like a scent from the 80’s.
The original La femme was better, more sweet and powdery, this one is simply floral and crisp.
lavrik – :
Smells like Dior poison. Poison is better. I pass on this. Smells great tho.
atanaya – :
I tested this yesterday. It is smoother than I would expect, and even if you are a patchouli hater, you should try it – this is a lovely and well-blended patch and I’m personally not a fan of that note in a lot of fragrances.
At any rate, it is very different than the original, which was too buttery and polite for my taste. And again, this one, while very rich and oriental, was too heavy, and the tuberose was the mentholated kind – just not the type I like. I love skanky tuberose and didn’t get that here.
But overall the whole thing is smooth and well-blended and I can’t believe it’s only got three notes. Very ambery and thick smelling. Just not a “love” for me.
neodens – :
I spent the afternoon with three sprays of this. It opens with an icy camphorous tuberose. I hate this type of tuberose. However, it wasn’t nearly as Vic’s Vapor Rub heavy as my nemesis Carnal Flower so I gave it a chance. Once the ylang ylang joins the party, the tuberose has lost much of its icy top notes. La Femme becomes sweet but not as sweet as Truth or Dare and not as heady. I don’t get any bubblegum from this tuberose. The patchouli is pretty strong in this so if you don’t like patchouli stay away. The emphasis in the drydown is on an ambery, mature patchouli with more ylang ylang than tuberose. This scent is thicker, warmer and more oriental than the original. If I had to compare it to another perfume, I’d say it’s most like Reminiscence White Tubereuse, but minus the dusty moss and much less spicy.

What’s up with the “Ansel Elgort” name drop in the description? Anybody else see that or am I seeing things?
Ceacymnzeme – :
I was hoping this wasn’t going to be a need-to-have if you already have the original but it is. LFI is beautifully blended just like LF. Compared to the original, LFI is warmer, sweeter (like tart candy), sits closer to the skin, and dries down to a seductive YSBB scent whereas LF is cooler, fresher, greener, projects more, and dries to a beautiful floral scent. As for longevity, I find that LFI doesn’t last as long, fading after about 4 hours vs LF which lasts around 8 hours on me. FB worthy even if you already have the original. Oh, and the bottle is gorgeous.
truss55 – :
Initial impression: the top notes of La Femme are intensified here. Tuberose, bubblegum and lots of ylang-ylang. Pretty. Turns sugar-sweet for a while then dries to patchouli, and that’s all you smell in the end. Since I am not a patch fan, I’m not sure this is going to work for me. Will be back for an update. EDIT: didn’t work for me. I rarely ever return products, but I had to take this back. Too sweet and too patchouli-heavy for me.
