My classmate told me that I smell like Chinese food when I wore this!!! NOT the effect I wanted for sure. Thank heavens the bottle is refillable, so I can put something I like in there. The bottle is awesome.
When I purchased this, I was looking for a fragrance that was a bit more sophisticated for night time/ going out than my average fruity florals that gravitate towards. Naturally, I was drawn in by the bottle (and this review!) when I purchased this, but personally I could not stand this smell. It was way too strong for me. Even people around me commented on how pungent it was.
But then again, I do like fruity florals & this is FAR from that. With fragrance, it truly is a personal preference.
do you really think that a guy can pull this of? beacuse i'm a guy and my mom has a bottle of this and absolutley hates it i am gonna try it on my skin and if it goes good and gonna rob the bottle :p
@KatiePuckrikSmells wow those words where inspiring haha, actually just after watching this i went and tried it on on me, definitely girly but there is something to it i quite enjoyed, my mom and my brother aid it smells kinda manly on me after the drydown and now that pink juice is sitting proudly on my counter with my other fragrances, i actually have it on right now and i like it even more then before, so i´m actuallly going to test this on school on moday and let you know how it went :)
Just got the little babybottle (10ml refillable, similar to the big one but without the sm cap) because I wasn't sure about this one... I'm still doubting. But to me it smells like swimming in the sea and lying on the beach. It's just so different... It's very, very strong. Just one little spray lasts over 10hours on me... Great review, again. And what is your favorite TM perfume?
I saw this perfume on the "Women's Scents That Men Can Wear" section of your wonderful Fume Finder.
I totally agree. Men can pull this off. The initial spritz IS rather salty. It stays on this weird savory note for the first few minutes but gets sweeter later on.
And the bottle is gorgeously Sci-Fi! It looks and smells more alien than Mugler's Alien...
@EdensSecret1 It could be for you. Also check out Philosykos by Diptyque: that's the ultimate fig smell. Marc Jacobs for Men is also a great fig fragrance (wearable by the ladeeez, too.)
@KatiePuckrikSmells Yes, Katie, I have actually had the Philosycos by diptique and I did love it , but had fogotten about it, a few Fig fragrances I've smelled have a buttery notes and I don't like that, but thanks for reminding me about that one.
I really wanted to like this one but sadly it's a case of me loving the bottle more than the actual perfume itself. Of course tastes in scents are relative (like taste in anything really) but Womanity really tested my gag reflex. The only other perfume that has done that to me is Lanvin's Arpege. Not sure what that says about my nose but sadly like most of the commenters this one was really hard for me to stomach...
@KatiePuckrikSmells I tried it again today and it sure is strange! Still not a fan but it sure is unique.
If Lady Gaga were planning to do a scent in collaboration with Mugler (seeing as though she's sort of their unofficial brand muse) I could see it being as bizarre/unexpected as Womanity. Maybe a mix of Rose, Burnt Eggplant, Caramel... and of course the obligatory blood and semen she's mentioned (I hope she's joking).
...I fear for your nose when the time comes to review her scent Katie! :P
@KatiePuckrikSmells i will try to go in there with my game face on, before i ask to try a women's fragrance lol :D or ill just get the 5ml from perfume court
Ok, I am HEAD-OVER-HEELS in perfumes right now. I can not get enough. And since i loved Angel so much, i just HAD to get me another Mugler perfume. I had tried womanity in the past (thx to u katiepuckrick-u-trailblazer-of-a-woman-abolishing-gender-barriers-as-any-REAL-perfumers-do), and i caved in. gotta love impulse purchase. the smell reminded me of something. and i fainally put my finger on it today while cleaning my appartment: it smells like wet-Swiffer. Am I the only one who thinks that?
@augabe Oh no! I HATE the smell of wet Swiffer! I have TWO 5-year-old boxes of wet Swiffers that I can't force myself to use because the smell yaks me out so much! But I was curious about the connection you made, so I opened up one of the Swiffer boxes to smell it. Hmm...I suppose there is an assertive freshness that Womanity also has, but I think Womanity smells better than wet Swiffers! And thank God.
@KatiePuckrikSmells I actually had a little ballerina at my local dance supply store (I'm a belly dancer on the side, too) compliment me on Womanity the other day, too. She was like "You smell so nice!" and her friends just laughed because it was just so random from her. I thought it was cute. Angel is my signature scent, but I'll be asking for a bigger bottle of Womanity for my birthday in a few months.
I just picked up a little purse bottle of this at my Macy's up the street and wow. It's very different and I'm saying that in a good way. It's complex and overpowering, but that's what I love about it. And it's just smells sexy. THIS is why I wear mostly Mugler and for once I've found one I can wear to the office without scaring the living crap outta everyone (that honor would go to Angel). Even my cubemate likes it and she usually can't stand Mugler!
Hi Katie, I just received Womanity today. It's GORGEOUS!! The scent is not what I was expecting at all. I read so many negative reviews that I had my doubts about it! Womanity is certainly not a perfume for the faint hearted. It's like Marmite, you either love it or hate it! I LOVE IT!!!
When I first sprayed this it smelled like the woods after it rained, mixed with smoke. I liked that....then came a light saltiness..and alas came a creamy sweetness of grass and flowers and fruit. I love this perfume, and get a lot of compliments!
I just purchased this scent online. I have never even smelt it! I fell head over heels in love with the bottle!! I just purchased a set that contains the 50ml fragrance, body lotion, and a cute silver make up bag/clutch. Can't wait to try it out! : )
I like your review even though I toally disagree about Womanity! I think it's absolutely awful; and for the sake of Humanity, please don't wear it around people, pets, small children, or even household plants! Great analysis, though, on the complexity of this fragrance!
Wow, I think that this will be my first bottle from the Thierry Mugler House. Now I am not sure who I should compliment; whether Womanity because its a perfume that has longetivity or your beautiful video in HD. I don't know what do. Great review Milady !!!
not sure about this ive got a sample but im not loving the smell from the bottle! i love angel innocent and innocent rocks which is difficult to get a hold of now ; (
Mugler fragrances are genius; so much more original than any other 'mainstream' brand out there. Angel still terrifies me beyond belief, but I do admire the brand!
Definitely smelling this next time I'm at Sephora. Celery perfume? Sounds great to me!
@HelenaNV Not to be an enabler (okay, so I'm an enabler!), but I did see a little purse-sized spritzer of Womanity available at Sephora. Even better, just go in there for regular free samples of the stuff. And give your coat a hearty respray every time you pass a bottle.
When the lady behind the fragrance counter handed me the sampler,she had this worried look,& made a sour face, as I went in to sniff it, LOL. 1st wiff of Womanity smelled of salt and smoke.I immediately imagined a bbq pit & that huge waft of smoke that bursts out of the pit,the moment you lift the lid. I hated it, but threw the sampler in my purse anyway.When I sniffed it an hr later, the smoke had mellowed & it smelled of wet grass and flowers...I liked it, sort of. I'm sticking w/ Alien! LOL
I adore how different it is, and on paper it sounds like a fragrance I must own. However, when I sprayed some on me, my initial reaction was "man, of all the perfumes not to use tester strips!". Once the first punch died off, it was quite a nice smell. Shame I can't stomach that initial spray and wait for it to settle.
Very unique indeed. Sadly though, to me, this is a truely unpleasant smell.
Not only do I not like it, but it also makes me a little sick. It's the saltiness, the celery thing - and the fact that it just never, ever goes away!
I honestly never got Angel or Alien but I adore Womanity. It reminds me of those warm summer nights when the sun is setting and my dad just mowed the lawn and I am hanging out on the porch eating my sweet, delicious, melty snow cone from the ice cream man.... To me it's that combination of almost grassy and sugary sweet... I love it!
Even though there is no way on the planet earth I could see myself wearing it, but I praise it for the creativity and it's originality. This is truly "different" and everybody should try once!
I thought this was a very interesting frag, quite unique, and quite unisex (yes, despite the pink juice). My scent strip still smells loud and clear 2 weeks later. yes, 2 weeks.
Hmm, I wanted to like this, but I really just couldn't. I agree that it's something totally different, but for me at least, not in a great way. I could definitely smell the fig in there, without a doubt. The whole thing made me kinda nauseous, and the first thing i wanted to do was to wash it the hell off, but of course, like you said, it's in it for the long haul, damnit. So I spent the entire day being totally repulse by my own scent, yay.
Honestly, when I tried the new Juicy Couture perfume, which is called Peace, Love and Juicy Couture, the opening reminded me of Womanity by TM. I first tested Womanity in a magazine, and I don't think it has any "womanity" at all! It reminded me of a wet mop...which is weird.
the bottle looks fantastic. but i don't think this fume is for me, after the first spray i wanted to get it off because the first salty notes didn't appeal to me, but i like the dry down, although it may not be as let's say unique as the opening. great review :)
i tried it in a store and i am wearing it since then (the whole day) and i don't really think that a guy should wear this perfume. i think even during a whole day wearing this fragrance it doesn't lose its sweet and sugary - and quite feminin - note. I think on a guy this would smell a little awkward - except if he's the candy man. of course there is also a spicy, kind of bitter/dry note in it, but not in a masculine way and not with a very strong appearance.
I couldn't agree with you more this was another amazing review.For me I got a Coffee note and then that celery and then it finally dries down to an almost generic fruity fig floral.But, this fragrance really blew me away with how it smelled so different yet in the end Mugler gave you what you asked for or rather what you expected from a pink juice fragrance.The bottle is stunning.I think this is very popuar with the young crowd the testers are all empty.
I like the fragrance too. I had the same reaction as you did. It's a very interesting fragrance and I've never smelled anything like it. I think that they tried to embody what a woman is and what she stands for all into the fragrance and it definitely has a kick to it and it is like a woman, hear me roar. LOL!!
I bet the pink Juice is misleading.Since this doesn't sound like it is another fruity floral.This sounds like it was a real effort to be different from the other fragrances out there.The bottle is very interesting.Great review.
@KatiePuckrikSmells Yeah I think Theirry is secretly laughting at this kind of like a mother that sneaks vegs into the meals.He probally wanted to fool them into thinking its another fruity floral and then its not.And perhaps some many even like it.Its interesting how the scent is different than what it looks like.
When I first smelled it, to me it smelled like wet, rusty metal...and fruits, and I didn't like that. At all. So I quickly washed it off. After giving it a second whiff (and a second chance) weeks later, I feel in love. Now I can't stop smelling my wrist. By the way, I thought you should know, the components for Womanity are fig, fig leaves, and caviar. That's probably what's causing the saltiness and the initial 'metal' scent I got at first.
@LittleSeta Hmm, metal - interesting! I guess the salt and savory in Womanity equals metal. I've not picked up on caviar in it, so I didn't mention it. Maybe I'm just not eating the right kind of caviar!
@persianbilli Ha-ha "sad mainstream stuff"! Well, I do try to skew towards the mainstream for my channel, because I am mindful that it's hard for people to get their hands on the niche stuff. I've got an Old Spice review in the pipeline!
@virtualspaniel There are plenty of reasons why we're drawn to a perfume, and it's not always the scent! The bottle is like nothing else out there....
Woohoo! I'm so glad I found your videos... You are so knowledgeable and funny!!!
I was able to smell Womanity when I was in NYC for college visits (my first time in a Bloomingdales!) haha and i fell in love with it! I couldn't stop smelling my wrist and i still have the little tester strip... it reminds me of the beach! I'm just sad this fragrance won't be making it into Sephora until October.
@5678Aubrey Thanks for your comment! Gosh, I can't even remember my first time at a Bloomies. I think "beach" is a really apt description for Womanity, because I always associate the smell of figs with coconut, and coconut is "beachy", and the salty side of the perfume is oceanic. So I'd agree with you.
Hey Katie I need to ask what would be better for one of my girl-friends? (A friend who is a girl) Womanity or Vera Wang Flower Princess? (Don't think you have done a review about this!) It's not a special occasion, I just think she deservies it. (I'm also getting some flowers etc...) SO I need a experts opinion, so thanks. (Is Womanity availabe in the UK?)
@K1774Z Womanity and Flower Princess are light years away from each other, smell-wise. Way too apples and oranges to advocate one over the other. Can you give me some info on your friend, ie age and other perfumes she already likes and wears?
Favorite flowers are Dahlias and Roses (Known her long enough to know this.), as far as I know I think she has Chanel No5 (Hope i spelled that right.), Romance (By Ralph something?), Jennifer Lodez Still (Has it on every time she goes church.) (And about a dozen more) and also she likes my 1 Millions By Pacco Raban (It's got a little bit of a feminine smell about it). Hope that helps and thanks for replying. :)
Womanity smells very much like coming home after a day on the beach with the ocean air still on your skin. There is a very green fig leaf note, that dries down but does not go powdery. It's faintly sweet, but more of a fresh floral, and very feminine.
I can't find the comment, but I swear I saw that you liked the smell of Moroccan Oil hair products. I also love that smell. So...What perfume matches?
But you could always rub some of the MO hair oil into your skin for the scent. It's just argan oil and perfume, I don't see why that wouldn't just smell great -- and be moisturizing on your legs and arms...
@KatiePuckrikSmells ooh!where can i get that? ive been dyyying for argan oil. theres a lady on hsn or qvc that sells face and hair products with mo (argan oil) and ive been wanting to try it badddddly! hehe. adrienne i believe is her name..also...im in love with the smell of the ojon products,have you ever tried em?
Hello Katie OMG this Bottle is a piece of Art =D Sounds Like a Wonderful Perfume I had once so long ago I can't even remember a Thierry Mugler perfume actually my dad bought it for me when I was 21 Lol so Yeah been to long ago Would love to try this oxox Melinda
OH BTW I wanted to ask you if you ever suffer from Sinus Sniffing all sort of perfumes =D lol love ya Can't wait for the give away??
@Bluefairy0173 If I go too crazy trying too many fragrances at once, I will start to feel a bit ill. Fresh air (or at least, unperfumed air) is the cure. I try not to overdo it.
Do you have any favorite (besides your Black Phoenix "comfort" oil, and Gypsy Water in the bath) bath oils, soaps, or shower gels that you'd like to share with us? Wondering what your favorite products are for cleansing and preparing the body's canvas for all the wonderful scents to follow, and whether you use different cleansers depending on what perfume you will be wearing that day or night. Thank you.
@steeletara01 Because I'm always planning to wear one of my fave perfumes, or about to try something new to review it, I only use unscented soaps and oils. Usually Cetaphil and Desert Essence Jojoba Oil. I luuuuve the smell of Moroccan Oil brand shampoo and hair oil, but I can't use it since it clashes with my perfumes.
@KatiePuckrikSmells Thank you very much. That makes good sense. I am new to the fragrance world, but now that I've entered, I can not imagine my life without perfume. Your reviews are the best that I've seen.
My classmate told me that I smell like Chinese food when I wore this!!! NOT the effect I wanted for sure. Thank heavens the bottle is refillable, so I can put something I like in there. The bottle is awesome.

I love this, even though it smells a bit like peppers at first contact. But when it wears off a bit, it's GORGEOUS.

@HelenaNV Is it love? Are you getting a bottle?
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
@KatiePuckrikSmells It is love, but I don't think I'm getting the bottle any time soon, I'm only 16 and it is somewhat expensive... xD
But I can live off the scent it left on my coat, it does stay on FOREVER.
HelenaNV 1 year ago
@HelenaNV Not to be an enabler (okay, so I'm an enabler!), but I did see a little purse-sized spritzer of Womanity available at Sephora. Even better, just go in there for regular free samples of the stuff. And give your coat a hearty respray every time you pass a bottle.

When the lady behind the fragrance counter handed me the sampler,she had this worried look,& made a sour face, as I went in to sniff it, LOL. 1st wiff of Womanity smelled of salt and smoke.I immediately imagined a bbq pit & that huge waft of smoke that bursts out of the pit,the moment you lift the lid. I hated it, but threw the sampler in my purse anyway.When I sniffed it an hr later, the smoke had mellowed & it smelled of wet grass and flowers...I liked it, sort of. I'm sticking w/ Alien! LOL

I adore how different it is, and on paper it sounds like a fragrance I must own. However, when I sprayed some on me, my initial reaction was "man, of all the perfumes not to use tester strips!". Once the first punch died off, it was quite a nice smell. Shame I can't stomach that initial spray and wait for it to settle.
xoxoJuicyCoutureoxox 1 year ago
Very unique indeed. Sadly though, to me, this is a truely unpleasant smell.
Not only do I not like it, but it also makes me a little sick. It's the saltiness, the celery thing - and the fact that it just never, ever goes away!

I honestly never got Angel or Alien but I adore Womanity. It reminds me of those warm summer nights when the sun is setting and my dad just mowed the lawn and I am hanging out on the porch eating my sweet, delicious, melty snow cone from the ice cream man.... To me it's that combination of almost grassy and sugary sweet... I love it!

@coffeeboob Hah - 2 weeks! The smell version of McDonald's Happy Meal - in terms of longevity, that is...
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
Hmm, I wanted to like this, but I really just couldn't. I agree that it's something totally different, but for me at least, not in a great way. I could definitely smell the fig in there, without a doubt. The whole thing made me kinda nauseous, and the first thing i wanted to do was to wash it the hell off, but of course, like you said, it's in it for the long haul, damnit. So I spent the entire day being totally repulse by my own scent, yay.

Honestly, when I tried the new Juicy Couture perfume, which is called Peace, Love and Juicy Couture, the opening reminded me of Womanity by TM. I first tested Womanity in a magazine, and I don't think it has any "womanity" at all! It reminded me of a wet mop...which is weird.

KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
the bottle looks fantastic. but i don't think this fume is for me, after the first spray i wanted to get it off because the first salty notes didn't appeal to me, but i like the dry down, although it may not be as let's say unique as the opening. great review :)
kigamistriver 1 year ago
i tried it in a store and i am wearing it since then (the whole day) and i don't really think that a guy should wear this perfume. i think even during a whole day wearing this fragrance it doesn't lose its sweet and sugary - and quite feminin - note. I think on a guy this would smell a little awkward - except if he's the candy man. of course there is also a spicy, kind of bitter/dry note in it, but not in a masculine way and not with a very strong appearance.
LizzyMcBizzy 1 year ago 2
Not gonna lie, I haven't smelled it yet but I need it in my collection just for the bottle.

KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
I couldn't agree with you more this was another amazing review.For me I got a Coffee note and then that celery and then it finally dries down to an almost generic fruity fig floral.But, this fragrance really blew me away with how it smelled so different yet in the end Mugler gave you what you asked for or rather what you expected from a pink juice fragrance.The bottle is stunning.I think this is very popuar with the young crowd the testers are all empty.
SayItLoud19 1 year ago
@SayItLoud19 Yes, empty testers are always the tell-tale sign of popularity.
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago

SayItLoud19 1 year ago
I like the fragrance too. I had the same reaction as you did. It's a very interesting fragrance and I've never smelled anything like it. I think that they tried to embody what a woman is and what she stands for all into the fragrance and it definitely has a kick to it and it is like a woman, hear me roar. LOL!!

I bet the pink Juice is misleading.Since this doesn't sound like it is another fruity floral.This sounds like it was a real effort to be different from the other fragrances out there.The bottle is very interesting.Great review.
SayItLoud19 1 year ago
@SayItLoud19 The pink color is misleading, indeed.
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
@KatiePuckrikSmells Yeah I think Theirry is secretly laughting at this kind of like a mother that sneaks vegs into the meals.He probally wanted to fool them into thinking its another fruity floral and then its not.And perhaps some many even like it.Its interesting how the scent is different than what it looks like.
SayItLoud19 1 year ago
When I first smelled it, to me it smelled like wet, rusty metal...and fruits, and I didn't like that. At all. So I quickly washed it off. After giving it a second whiff (and a second chance) weeks later, I feel in love. Now I can't stop smelling my wrist. By the way, I thought you should know, the components for Womanity are fig, fig leaves, and caviar. That's probably what's causing the saltiness and the initial 'metal' scent I got at first.
LittleSeta 1 year ago
@LittleSeta Hmm, metal - interesting! I guess the salt and savory in Womanity equals metal. I've not picked up on caviar in it, so I didn't mention it. Maybe I'm just not eating the right kind of caviar!

I was able to smell Womanity when I was in NYC for college visits (my first time in a Bloomingdales!) haha and i fell in love with it! I couldn't stop smelling my wrist and i still have the little tester strip... it reminds me of the beach! I'm just sad this fragrance won't be making it into Sephora until October.
5678Aubrey 1 year ago
@5678Aubrey Thanks for your comment! Gosh, I can't even remember my first time at a Bloomies. I think "beach" is a really apt description for Womanity, because I always associate the smell of figs with coconut, and coconut is "beachy", and the salty side of the perfume is oceanic. So I'd agree with you.
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
(There wasn't enough room for this) Aeehhh, if any of that doesn't match the two fragrances is there another perfume that I could get her?
K1774Z 1 year ago
Hey Katie I need to ask what would be better for one of my girl-friends? (A friend who is a girl) Womanity or Vera Wang Flower Princess? (Don't think you have done a review about this!) It's not a special occasion, I just think she deservies it. (I'm also getting some flowers etc...) SO I need a experts opinion, so thanks. (Is Womanity availabe in the UK?)
K1774Z 1 year ago
@K1774Z Womanity and Flower Princess are light years away from each other, smell-wise. Way too apples and oranges to advocate one over the other. Can you give me some info on your friend, ie age and other perfumes she already likes and wears?
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
@KatiePuckrikSmells Ok, my friend is 21 years of age.
Favorite flowers are Dahlias and Roses (Known her long enough to know this.), as far as I know I think she has Chanel No5 (Hope i spelled that right.), Romance (By Ralph something?), Jennifer Lodez Still (Has it on every time she goes church.) (And about a dozen more) and also she likes my 1 Millions By Pacco Raban (It's got a little bit of a feminine smell about it). Hope that helps and thanks for replying. :)

Womanity smells very much like coming home after a day on the beach with the ocean air still on your skin. There is a very green fig leaf note, that dries down but does not go powdery. It's faintly sweet, but more of a fresh floral, and very feminine.

I can't find the comment, but I swear I saw that you liked the smell of Moroccan Oil hair products. I also love that smell. So...What perfume matches?

@bookreviewfamily You remember correctly! I think the smell of Moroccan Oil is really similar to Miller Harris Fleur Oriental.
KatiePuckrikSmells 1 year ago
@KatiePuckrikSmells Then I need to get some Fleur Oriental!
Maybe I'm nutty, but I think MO smells great with SMN Melograno.
bookreviewfamily 1 year ago
But you could always rub some of the MO hair oil into your skin for the scent. It's just argan oil and perfume, I don't see why that wouldn't just smell great -- and be moisturizing on your legs and arms...

@KatiePuckrikSmells ooh!where can i get that? ive been dyyying for argan oil. theres a lady on hsn or qvc that sells face and hair products with mo (argan oil) and ive been wanting to try it badddddly! hehe. adrienne i believe is her name..also...im in love with the smell of the ojon products,have you ever tried em?

Dear Katie,
Do you have any favorite (besides your Black Phoenix "comfort" oil, and Gypsy Water in the bath) bath oils, soaps, or shower gels that you'd like to share with us? Wondering what your favorite products are for cleansing and preparing the body's canvas for all the wonderful scents to follow, and whether you use different cleansers depending on what perfume you will be wearing that day or night. Thank you.

@steeletara01 Because I'm always planning to wear one of my fave perfumes, or about to try something new to review it, I only use unscented soaps and oils. Usually Cetaphil and Desert Essence Jojoba Oil. I luuuuve the smell of Moroccan Oil brand shampoo and hair oil, but I can't use it since it clashes with my perfumes.
