La Femme

Olfactory Experience

Armaf's La Femme is *clearly* trying to be Mugler's Womanity. Does it succeed? Mostly. The opening is a juicy, slightly sweet fig, very similar to the original. That aquatic, salty caviar note is present but feels a little rougher around the edges, more synthetic. As it dries down, the fig tree and leaf become more prominent, providing a green, woody backbone. It's about 92% Womanity, but lacks the refined smoothness of the Mugler. The clone has a slight plastic note that persists, especially as it gets further into the dry down.

Longevity & Projection

This is where La Femme shines. It lasts a solid 6-7 hours on my skin, with moderate projection for the first 2-3 hours. It creates a nice scent bubble without being overpowering. I got about 3 hours of moderate projection before it became a skin scent. the performance is excellent. If you are a die-hard Womanity enthusiast and can splurge, the original has a certain *je ne sais quoi* that this is missing. However, if you want something in the same ballpark, or want to test the waters of what Womanity is about, then La Femme will do the trick. If you want a fairly accurate, cheapie alternative for everyday wear, go for it!
