Prada La Femme by Prada is a Amber Floral fragrance for women. Prada La Femme was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Daniela (Roche) Andrier. Top notes are Magnolia, Bergamot and Carrot Seeds; middle notes are Frangipani, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Iris and Spices; base notes are Beeswax, Vanilla and Vetiver.

The house of Prada launches La Femme Prada and L'Homme Prada mid-2016. The new fragrant “pair of equals" represents man and woman that are “reunited in an identical vision. She could be him, he could be her. She is an absolute woman, he is an absolute man. There is not an obvious definition of relationship between them. They could be lovers, friends, or even strangers. Both have multiple identities.“

La Femme Prada is a classic Prada scent that is shunning from clichés and trends to redefine floral perfumes and femininity. Frangipani flower is interwoven with iris bearing the DNA of the house, enriched with spices, beeswax and tuberose. Available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

A very easy to wear, office friendly fragrance. It reminds me a bit of Poeme by Lancome,to my nose lts like a modern version of it. Dry down a little too soapy but pleaseant. All in all i give it a decent 8/10.

EmberFloofs

I got a decant of this to test it out before committing to a full bottle and I'm really glad I did.

This is a *very* soapy, waxy, spicy fragrance with a slightly sweet edge. The florals in this really all blend together extremely smoothly to become a very smooth, generic soapy scent instead of having really identifiable facets from each floral note. The iris definitely sticks out a little bit, but the yellow and white florals really all meld together to make a pretty bland floral soapiness, which makes up the majority of the scent profile. It's rooted in a sweet base from the beeswax and vanilla while adding a warm spicy kick from the spicy notes in here. The vetiver in this is really smooth and mostly just offers a slightly woody facet instead of the characteristic "scratchy" edge it often adds. The bergamot is only there for the first 20-30 minutes to add a bright citrus facet to the top

I see this as being a really great office-safe choice, but I also can't really find anything interesting about it. It's clean, fresh, and inoffensive, but it loses so much character in the process. The notes are almost so well blended that it's hard to pick them apart without a lot of concentration. It's perfect to smell freshly clean, but it lacks the "wow factor" I tend to look for in fragrances. It's not a bad fragrance, it's just a very elegantly-mixed soapy scent which isn't for me.

If you tend to like soapy fragrances, this is probably a pretty safe blind buy you'll enjoy, but it's not going to be the right DNA for my fellow gourmand girlies or vanillic sweet floral fans. Great for daytime wear, but doesn't have the impact to be a good daytime or night out scent.

Pretty fair value for the money; you can find bottles of this at discounters for less than $100 very easily.

astralmonad870

A honey fragrance that is light, floral, airy, contrasting to JPG Scandal which is a heavier honey floral.

LoreinaL

I’be been trying to find a sample of La Femme after reading tons of reviews. I finally sprayed some on and I am so disappointed. I find it smells like straight up soap, but the really old kind that your great aunt has been wearing for decades. I don’t know if it’s the combination of tuberose and magnolia that makes my stomach churn whenever I caught a whiff, but regardless it’s too soapy to the point of being nauseating. I get a tiny hint of beeswax, and that’s about it. I’m really disappointed by how much I dislike this.

I don’t know where this whole push for it being a sophisticated scent came from. It isn’t. It feels outdated. The only plus is that it lasts forever. Hard pass.

vanillabeanshampoo

She’s feminine, confident and put together. She showers with expensive soap, wears real gold jewelry and somehow makes jeans look fancy.

This is a soapy-clean fragrance in the Prada style. I’m surprised it doesn’t actually have a soap accord because after the initial citrusy opening, soap is all I can smell, and I love it. There is no vanilla in this on my skin. Whoever doesn’t like this needs their nostrils checked.

dalkiuyu

This opens as a pleasant, if slightly generic, soapy white floral...and then the drydown is really where La Femme shines for me: it warms up and transforms into deliciously creamy, ever so slightly sweet yellow florals while still retaining its pristine cleanliness. The resulting effect is very much like being at a 5-star hotel in the tropics - you're in the middle of a verdant jungle, surrounded by fragrant waxy flowers, all while still cocooned in your untouchable bubble of comfort and luxury. No bugs or humidity at the Hotel Prada.

A nice alternative to the usual citrus or coconut fragrances in hot weather; this is a dream to wear during the summertime. 

nukleo777

Elegant, feminine, every day perfume you can wear at work. The scent and the bottle go perfectly together. I believe that you can imagine how this one smells just by looking at the bottle. Fit for every season. Someone said here it smells like a flower shop and I agree. But with sweet touch of beeswax and vanilla. It stays long on my dry skin. All in all, it was a blind buy but I do not regret it at all.

ettenig sayam

I like this perfume. It's very soft and subtle yet elegant and ladylike. On my skin I have to overspray - literally 20 just to be able to pick up the scent. There is no sillage. I can pick up ylang ylang and that's about it. I wish I could smell the honey or even the vetiver. The notes seem wonderful. I just don't pick anything up. It's 54 degrees on a late February afternoon in New England. Maybe it would perform better on a warmer day? Sigh. I have full bottle. I don't think I will re-purchase based on the performance. It will take me a while to make a significant dent in this. I might try layering this.

Update - I had to spray aggressively for a total of 30 sprays to get a definite impression of the skin scent. I guess my skin gobbles up fragrances big time.

Alenmarie

Me gusta, es elegante, entre sus notas tiene un postrecito, pero ese perfume para nada es un gourmand. Flores blancas en una cama de ámbar.

Mini1

I'm surprised no one else thinks this smells eerily similar to Brilliant White Diamonds and even Tommy Girl. I prefer La Femme but there are much cheaper adjacent versions at Tj Maxx & Marshalls. It's just a simple, pleasant, fresh and clean scent like floral laundry detergent. I can see this being a signature scent for anyone who prefers simple, clean scents.

celi

This left me unimpress. It is a kinda weak, generic frangipani/tuberose tropical floral. There are far better options in my opinion if you like this genre.

Mooluna

Honey tropical touches and tuberose lovely frag but its just doesnt fit me honeyed florals beeswax is dominant okay for early spring giving a mom at her 30s 40s in a shopping mall

vixxiimcmlxxxvii

Took me entirely too long to try this. To try Prada in general. 2023 brought me Prada Candy Kiss who I can’t live without, the abomination that is Paradoxe, and Prada Candy which was a hugely pleasant surprise.

I bought this because I was sick, lol. I was wearing Mon Guerlain out of wanting something calming and sweet. And I wore Bee because I had a craving for beeswax, and although it’s not listed, I pick that up in Bee. And I remembered that La Femme has that beeswax note. So I was off to blind by, as I do. Mind you, the type of beeswax scent I have in mind is that of like, Murray’s hair wax in the orange tin, the one-can-will-last-you-a-lifetime stuff. Pure. Beeswax. Lightly sweet, honeyed. I actually detect something reminiscent of this in Mon Guerlain, in the background.

I stopped here first, of course, to jog my memory a little further and I thought, “Carrot seed, iris, bergamot and vetiver, too?! Yes.” And I had my expectations all lined up…despite really not loving tropical flowers, this was gonna be great.

Well. Idk let’s talk about the bottle really quickly. I don’t often mention the bottles and I really should; many that I have are so beautiful, with exception to a couple I won’t single out cause that’s mean. This bottle is so beautiful in person, with the white saffiano leather and the harsh lines mixed with the curve and the gold. It’s up there with the Libre line to me, in terms of presentation. This is so nice to hold, as well. Much different than my Bvlgari, so oddly shaped (and still stunning), or the Narcisos, so blocky (chefs-kiss minimal). This is PRADA; the bottle was WHY I was so interested (and then disappointed by) Paradoxe. YOUR BOTTLE IS YOUR LOGO?!, slay. This reads Prada even more than that bottle, somehow. The white leather 😩 akin to the gold adornment on the Libre bottles, it’s luxurious and it screams “expensive,” and “worthy.” Quite opposite of the Candy bottles, in my opinion. But! Not why I came, just a very nice side note, the bottle is beautiful.

The scent is gorgeous. Not tropical, not anything but pretty. If anything, I would say this is a very *Arizona* scent; something about it really screams my home state. I wish I could put my finger on it. Addictive. Doesn’t last as long as I’d like but that’s nothing new for me and probably my own problem. Anyway, it’s a lovely scent and perfect for this time of year now that it’s just starting to warm back up—as if it ever got “cold.” Anyway, a scent for pretty girls. Subtly sweet, innocent-sexy, warm and inviting. Would be great for a first date, a hopeful one, the type where you “might actually like this guy.”

L’Homme will be next as I am in love with the notes in it as well. I’ll gift it to my man and probably use the majority of the juice myself lol!

Studphobic

I usually don't like Tuberose fragrances but there's something special about this one. It has a balmy quality, probably due to the beeswax note, that makes it unique. I picture a very chic, classy lady wearing this, so that's what I try to embody when I do 😂

madamefelissa

This is one of if not the best perfumes I've seen in recent years. I didn't care much about giving it a try because, generally speaking, Prada fragrances don't appeal to me. But I got a decant of this one and wow. I am stunned.

This is a beautiful, sexy, ultra-feminine scent that reminds me of great perfumes of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. How I've longed for this. The frangipani, when done right, is truly magical, and here it is done right. I love seeing frangipani used. The same is true of magnolia. This is the perfect balance and blend. Masterfully done,

Oh! And my boyfriend loves it on me!

Edited to add: I got moderate to good silage and twelve good hours out of this.

WhiteFlowerPrincess

I like Prada La Femme and I think that it is a lot better than Chanel's Beige perfume, but it isn't as strong on the frangipani as I had hoped and the carrot seeds and spices were an odd addition that eclipsed the floral notes in this perfume at times. The base was a bit too heavy on the beeswax as well and it was all a bit too sweet and a bit too much for me.

I did like the other elements of this perfume though and found it quite pleasant, like a golden early spring or early fall day spent luxuriating in a field of flowers during the sunset. It might be partially to do with the color, but I get a very golden feeling from this fragrance. The tuberose and the iris are what's most noticeable to me, followed by the magnolia in the top notes. The ylang ylang is prominent as well.

I had decent sillage from this perfume and a wear time of about 5 hours on me. I'd say it is a feminine fragrance for women as the name would suggest and that it would work for daytime during the spring or fall, of course. I think that a woman with a very sunny and happy disposition would wear this fragrance in my mind.

Altogether, I'd give Prada La Femme a very decent but not outstanding 7/10.

WildDove

Prada La Femme is like stepping into a flower shop. The magnolia is strong, giving this mixed floral a thick, heady quality even though it's paradoxically light as well.

thaochipnd

I tried it once while shopping at the mall. The floral scent is soft, elegant and feminine. I naturally think of office girls wearing white vests or elegant white silk shirts, exactly like that. I don't love this fragrance too much but I don't hate it either, overall it's a basic and easy to wear perfume.

desturner866

This has been my favorite perfume since blind buying it last year. I reach for it over everything else, and I have to make a point to wear others so my collection doesn't go to waste. It is soapy, but not in the harsh, detergent way you might imagine. It's more like the remnants of a really luxuriously scented soap lingering on your skin after a warm bath or shower. I picture taking a relaxing bath, putting on a white bath robe, and letting my hair dry in the sun while surrounded by beautiful white flowers. I love it so much.

Anonomouse

This girl is professional. She's sexy, she knows what she's doing, is respected, and she knows it. Clean and floral- just showered feel to it. Great daytime everyday scent. I just wish it was longer lasting.

evec5555

I love it, my signature fragrance. 🤍

dlst08

This has a real 'whoosh!' effect: you may think it's not super strong & ok to spray a few times but within seconds there's a mushroom cloud of ueber-femme white florals and people standing close are backing away. Really nice perfume, a smooth and well-balanced version of a standard genre - J'Adore etc are quite close - with just a hint of beeswax in the base making it a bit more special. I do kind of feel like I'm in drag when I wear this type of perfume but that's fine, so long as I spray veeeery cautiously.

Amour, Michele

The opening is pretty bad - smells very cheap, headache-inducing, sickly floral. A kind of strange watery magnolia shampoo scent that I almost scrubbed off which I never do. After about 15 mins it dies down a bit, turns into a prim lotion-esque scent, which I find that a lot of creamy magnolia scent tend to smell like. I like lotion-y scents but they have to be perfect for me to like. (For example, APOM Femme MFK). Not this one, I'm glad I got a travel size. I must not do very well with creamy magnolia scents because this reminded me of Guerlain L'Instant and I didn't like that either. I much prefer citrus-y magnolia scents like FM Eau de Magnolia. I was excited for this one because it speaks to people as very elegant, but I just couldn't stomach the magnolia.

astralmonad870

I tried the L’Eau version in the store and loved it and accidentally bought this one instead but I have no complaints. This is a masterfully blended exquisite, and elegant fragrant floral scent with the right amount of sweetness.

AlexandraRoseD

A generic sweet (and too waxy) floral in line the rest of the current sweet parfumes trend, nothing ground breaking.

For this price I expect more.
The Prada name is not enough.

PerfumePixie87

Prada La Femme is a honeyed creamy white floral. Similar to Beige from Chanel Les Exclusifs but less sharp and more shampoo-like. Pleasant, feminine and Spring like. This is a clean-girl floral and a solid designer pick.

Toady89

This reminds me of royal jelly scented bath products my mother and grandmother used to have in the 90s. Very sophisticated and elegant.

Pale_Daughter

I received a miniature of Prada La Femme with my Paradoxe refill purchase last month (July), and I immediately fell in love with it and bought a 50 ml bottle. It is a very particular fragrance - in my mind, I pictured a 30-something-year-old brunette wearing a pair of off-white Marlene-style trousers, a light blouse and oversized sunglasses, casually strolling along a pier at the French Riviera.

To me, this is a perfect scent for the summer months. It is clean, sophisticated and warm, without being too heavy or overpowering. Initially, the carrot seed note is quite sharp but it blends into the rest very quickly. Bergamot lends it freshness, which is nicely balanced by the spices in the middle, and the entire scent is rounded perfectly with the creamy beeswax at the base. It is a great day perfume, very well suited for any occasion, as I don´t believe it will offend anyone. It is very grown-up, but still fresh and interesting.

I would say longevity is somewhere around 4-5 hours, and it doesn´t leave a huge trail but stays close to the skin. I can imagine it would also sit nicely on one´s hair, though I haven´t tried it yet.

I have already got some wear out of the bottle I purchased, but I expect I will not wear it much until next spring/summer.

zhetheru

This was a blind buy. The first time I sprayed it I had to walk away and come back, because I did a full spray and it was STRONG! I sat the bottle down for a few weeks, and tried it again. This time I did a tiny spray on my wrist, and OH MY GOODNESS! This perfume smells so amazing. There is a sweetness from the honey that peaks through, with creamy florals, and musk. The sillage is strong at first, but simmers down to moderate. Prada frags blend well with my chemistry, so I get a decent amount of longevity out of it. The longevity of La Femme is almost eternal. I could see myself wearing this in Spring and Autumn, for sure. Hot summers would be a no for me, and this could be pulled off in winter, but it may not be "strong" enough. This perfume makes me feel so beautiful, pretty, dainty, feminine, and immaculate. I think I've found a new favorite.

Barbarossa

My second review, have it for almost a year. Literally wearable all year round! Creamy florals with rich shampoo vibe!!!! Gorgeous

SalinasL

CK Beauty mixed with VC&A California Reverie mixed with Roberto Cavalli. (My spontaneous associations and for once I see others have had the same!). I get a banana-ey ylang and tiare like in Montale’s Intense Tiare as well. Seeing as I already have all of the above in travel sprays or full bottles I probably didn’t need a travel spray of this, but it is nice. I’d take it over Beauty, Cavalli, and Intense Tiare. It’s very strong and thick; just one spray on the wrist is almost overwhelming me, so definitely a good option if leaving a powerful scent trail is important to you. Just go easy on the trigger if anywhere near a bus or office or any public enclosed space...

AdalynEverly

First Impressions (dabber):
Meh doesn’t hit as much a Prada L’homme for me, and I’m a woman. I also love tuberose when it’s done right like Love Tuberose by Amouage. This dries down as something that smells granny like. It almost smells like tuberose lotion, sunscreen in the middle, and the cold cream in the dry down for me. Or maybe it smells like hairspray? Possibly? I need to try it again because I didn’t love Prada L'homme immediately. I should investigate this more and keep you peeps posted.

Summary:
Smells like: a professional tuberose, tuberose lotion (almost grapelike)
Family of: Armani my way (if you like that grape like/bubblegummy tuberose this might be a love for you)
Silage: intimate

Verdict:
Pass- Definitely not a masterpiece compared to Prada L’homme. Better tuberose fragrances out there.

meama

A nice honeyed frangipani-tuberose...well done!

cheleine

First impressions:
This one is a bit difficult for me to understand.
Let me start by saying this is blended to perfection.
You probably won’t be able to tell the notes apart and if you do it will be only a few. For me, what stands out on my skin is mostly the carrot seeds (and spices in general), frangipani (exotic flowers) and vetiver (on the drydown there’s just a hint of a man’s cologne). I can tell this is a bit sweet but nowhere near as I was expecting based on the reviews here. On me, it’s more soapy and spicy and then a bit floral (florals lightly dipped in honey). It’s not sweet and buttery or fluffy or powdery or anything on me. And I was kind of expecting for something more on that deeper scent profile based on the reviews and because I wanted it to feel sensual, calming and comforting.
It’s funny how everyone perceives this in a different way though.
Maybe I need more time with it (I just bought it) but to me it doesn’t feel careless, relaxing, fun or flirty.
I’d say it’s more reserved and serious/professional so far on my skin.
I will for sure take my time trying to understand this one, it is way more complicated than I thought.
Something tells me, that skin chemistry and weather temperature is truly everything for this scent.
Pleasant surprise: Even though my skin usually eats perfumes (especially now in the summer), I found traces of it on my wrist 10+ hours after I sprayed it. The longevity is excellent, a perfume you can count on.
The sillage is moderate, I’d say arm’s length.

czajnik

Great floral opening, and the drydown smells like a toilet in polish trains. Amazing!

luanneog

Floral, clean, fresh and soapy. Warm, a bit powdery and elegant. Smells like coming out of bubble bath. Well balanced.

Lili1105

The smell pleasantly surprised me. It's elegant, sweet, but not heavy, and those are the kind of scents I like. Another plus for me is that it doesn't shout too much into the space and is very well blended. Nothing sticks out there, nothing gets in the way. It's a smooth beeswax vanilla topped with florals, of which I probably smell Ylang the most. At one point, it reminds me a bit of something from Aliena Goddess, but it's not the same, it's much better, softer, more gusto, nobler... I would compare it to the smell of some exclusive high-quality chocolate Lentils... I can't help myself. . :)

multibabydoll

amazing fragrance! i love prada parfume house and their vibe. this smells like luxury, fun, rich and dynamic. serena van der woodsen would wear this!

deauxBabs

a freshie that is worth your time

AnneKirby

Soapy, clean, fresh feminine perfume. Inoffensive and suitable for daytime, although make sure you test it on skin before buying since beeswax is a very polarizing note
I mainly pick up a citrusy note at the start, then it turns into a rather classic yellow floral accord that can remind you of some older perfumes, but with a modern twist, then I get some sweetness from the vanilla, mixed with beeswax. Projection is moderate and longevity is very correct, it's still present after 5h on my skin. For anyone who doesn't like tuberose, La Femme is among one of the few perfumes where tuberose doesn't completely dominate over all the other notes, so give this one a chance :) Very classy and comfy, signature worthy and not worn by a lot of people

Jade-Ange D

One of the most feminine and elegant scent I ever smelled.

I simply love it, it gives me this rich woman in Saint-Tropez kind of vibe, a perfect all year round fragrance but definitely MADE for summertime. It makes me dream of a beautiful sunset by the sea while being in the warm water, the waves are slowly reaching your waist and you sip a wonderful smoothie.

I mainly get the Ylang-Ylang, the Tuberose, Frangipani, Beeswax and Vanilla who are creating that perfect creamy, tropical summer perfume.
Then you get some depth with the Spices, Carrot Seeds, Vetiver and Iris also helps a tad bit. The notes That I get the less are the Iris, Carrot Seeds and weirdly, the Magnolia even if it is a top note. But the Ylang, Frangipani and Beeswax are the top notes to my nose. I simply ADORE Ylang-Ylang in fragrances so it's no surprise.
If you want to feel confident during summer or wear this during a date night or simply during a night out, just know that this blend feels, creamy, tropical, rich, feminine, sexy, sultry/sensual.

It is a solid 10/10 <333

BougieSh3

As beautiful and elegant as this perfume smell, it doesn't like me 😭. Every time I would wear this perfume, it made me gag and nauseous. I had to check to see in the notes what was the "unfamiliar ingredients" that I'm not use to and it was "carrot seeds" and "beeswax."

Now I surely can wear honey, but beeswax makes me nauseous. Ok , the Intense have neither one of these notes, so maybe I'll have a better experience with that one , if I decide to give her a go.

Morgan45

This arrived in the mail today (I was spending my Air Miles) and I was a little underwhelmed when I first smelled it but once it dried down for an hour or so and I applied some more, I am ADDICTED to smelling myself. That beeswax note with the yellow florals is HEAVEN. It's nothing like anything else I own.

Edit: I'm usually a pretty conservative sprayer but in 24 hours I may have already put a dent in this bottle. I must reek, but this smell makes me so happy for some reason. When it dries down it smells like fresh laundry in the most beautiful possible way. Love it.

Harley522

This is quality perfume, signature worthy. Smells like the color gold, sunshine and expensive shampoo.

Mirabele

I am unfortunately not able to wear this. tuberose is too prominent an too harsh. of course i knew it when i bought it, so it is all on me. i was just hoping it will be not so noticable. I normally have very good luck with Prada scents, among my most favorite perfumes is always one or two scents of Prada, and many of Prada scents are quite subtle so i was hoping for the same experience with Prada La Femme, but this one is a huge no for me. not to offend anyone, but for me tuberose has a horrible smell, i find it very dated, in my mind it belongs to 70- or 80ies and i kind of believe it should have stayed here. i still have memories of strong perfumes of that time and people who used to not to be so careful with spraying. of course i should not have blind bought this Prada. i kind of had high hopes because of reviews, and i was very affected that many found likeness to Chanel Beige. i was hoping for the same experience, since i like a lot Chanel Beige, but will never be able to afford it. to my nose the are to completely different scents with no likeness at all. the bottle is gorgeous i wish i could like the perfume as much as i love bottle design. my review is not meant to offend anyone, but rather to inform those who are sensitive to tuberose that you will most likely notice it here a lot.

Katchele

This is an odd fragrance to me. I much prefer it sprayed on my clothes instead of my skin. It’s a mild smooth tuberose.

MissLisa

this is my signature and most favorite perfume.
If I had only one perfume I could choose for the rest of my life, it would be this one.
To date, I have not found anything comparable.
To me this scent is absolutely gorgeous….perfectly sweet, delicious, soft, cozy & comforting.
Yes this is my signature scent.

qofb

This is liquid soap, slightly nose tickly tuberose with yellow floral undertones and some beeswax. I find that I much prefer Chanel Beige, which is similar but just smells nicer somehow and more 3D. I find la femme a bit flat. If you like shampooey work appropriate fragrances, this one might be for you, it's also reasonably long lasting on me.

LEM922

Found a random decant of those that I honestly didn't know I had. So I decided to try it. Honestly, for whatever reason lately, Prada's scents have been HITTING. To me this is a true floral, and I'm really picky with my florals… This one though, is done right. The smells really classy, a little warm, and somewhat expensive… It also smells really good once it's warmed into the skin, such an easy wear which isn't always expected with certain florals. I don't think I'd ever buy it, but this is a solid like… The smells really nice, and works pretty well with my body chemistry. If you don't like magnolia or frangipani, I would skip this. Those notes are pretty prominent. The beeswax gives it just a touch of sweetness. This smells like your favorite teacher, if that makes any sense. Classy, always pleasant, very feminine.

Mariano S

This is my wife's signature scent and I love it. It is one of those fragrances that up close smells good but in the air just smells a hundred times better and specially when some time has passed after it is sprayed, it just leaves such a classy scent trail. Awesome quality as usual with Prada.

This fragrance opens up good but a bit screechy, with an intense floral smell from one of those notes that Im not too familiar with ( probably the tuberose or the Ylang-ylang) that luckily after about 15-20 mins calms down and blends with the other less screechy floral notes in such a beautiful way, then at that point that addicting beeswax note starts to show up more and just becomes such an interesting and captivating scent that pretty much retains the same smell for the rest of its lifespan.

The longevity is not the greatest sadly, still it does seem to last a good 4 or 5 hours projecting a perfectly moderate bubble, just as this fragrance should imo.

This is such a perfect daily/work scent, it is extreamly versatile, not invasive and it just projects an image of a well put together, respectable and decisive woman.

Now this is absolutely not a "sensual", "seductive" or "party" scent at all imo, it gives out a slightly mature tone while still smelling modern and deffinetly a younger lady can pull it off beautifully with the right clothing.

Lovely classy woman's scent.

KateElizabeth

A very classy and elegant scent, but I couldn't get past the tuberose note, which seems to overtake any fragrance that it's in.

Murba

For me that waxy note doesn’t work well. I recognize that this is a really gorgeous feminine fragrance, however, I notice it on me for hours and hours and not in a good sense. That heaviness reminds me of Flora by Gucci, I felt kinda seasick wearing it too. Not recommend for hot humid climate

This is my first perfume love. I just got into fragrance, and Prada La Femme just makes me feel fresh and clean everytime I wear it. It does remind me of an expensive shampoo but that's why I love it - it makes me feel freshly showered and clean which is exactly what I want from a fragrance.

The only thing is that it doesn't seem to last very long on my skin. Only about 2-3 hours which is a shame. It is a very inoffensive perfume that I tend to reach for every day, just wish it would last a bit longer on my skin.

Barbarossa

I adore scents that smell like expensive floral scented shampoo/conditioner probably that’s why I really liked this one. If it’s not your type, pass on it.
Overall it’s sweet and very smooth floral perfume.
Floral, shmpooey beautiful scent!

KippieBall

This is my signature scent, I wear it to the office everyday. It's such a classic women's perfume, I always recommend it. Its name really suits it- "yes, I'm La Femme". :-)

amanda0727

For me, this is far from a clean scent. I don't get any soapiness (not that i want to) but it is just too floral perfume-y to be a clean scent. Gives me a slight headache.

Laurus

I have been smelling this a lot lately thinking geez people are wearing lot of JPG classique lately. But I think it is more likely they are wearing Prada Femme. It smells similarly sharp sweet on me. Classique has even sharper beginning but it smells very similar to this. I do not think this smells like soap at all. If I would spray this near my face I would get a headache and would need to have a full body scrub.

raqketa

i’ve been playing around with a decant of this off and on for the better part of the last year. i’ve been so torn between whether to spring for a FB. i used the last of it tonight and have decided the answer is no. i do like it. it’s not overly sweet and is perfectly feminine to me. i just want the opening to stay around longer (or indefinitely). the dry down is just too spicy and soapy (which is such a weird combo on me). 😩

adyna05_sv

Nice, clean, every day scent! 👍🏼

Thykes10

This one has a wow factor for me, but maybe that’s because I’m new to testing fragrances? I pick up on the bergamot initially but I mainly notice the florals. It must be the tuberose that stands out to me because I’m picking up on the bubble gum that people reference. It’s not done in a sickly sweet way though, it’s more understated in it sweetness. It’s hard for me to pick up on the individual notes unless I’m looking at the pyramid. To me this feels very pretty, bright and uplifting! Makes me want to find more honeyed florals! The tropical flowers might make this more warm weather appropriate but I’m loving this one so far! Good longevity too- I got about 6 hours before it faded to more of a skin scent.

MahaS

Late to the game but better late than never. I was hesitant to try this due to the yellow flowers. I finally decided to try and I am so happy that I did. The Beeswax note is wonderful, it reminds me a bit of beeswax lip balm. Of course it's not a basic scent, it blends beautifully with the vanilla and the amber. I don't like Tuberose on all fragrances, I can definitely stand it in this one. Spices are not too strong. I think I can smell the waxiness of the carrot seeds.

I would think that women in their 20s will find this too mature. I don't think it is myself but it's not the typical young girl scent. Give it a try!

SaraZigova

Tuberouse and beeswax.

Sade800

Smells like very expensive hair products/shower gel etc
Also reminds me of honeycomb sweets/candy.
Performance is excellent.

ViouAmara

What a misfortune, I had to urgently delete my previous review : the mini in the little squared pink box was only named «Prada Femme parfum », but it was more than probably Amber. It was honeyed, floral, creamy, perfect, I was in love and consequently bought the wrong full bottle. Femme is a discreet grown up perfume, a grapey and vaguely sweetish yellow flower, while Amber is glorious. I have only my eyes to cry about this stupid mistake. Why, Prada, why?

chlorodream

Femme indeed, this is a very classic white/yellow floral fragrance. I do wish the yellow florals outdid the white florals here, however tuberose is the star of the show, as it often is. I can smell some similarity to Beauty by CK, but this is decidedly a little more updated and yummier thanks to the hints of frangipani. Unfortunately, I bought this because I was intrigued by the beeswax note but I don’t get any hint of it at all. This is nice, but it doesn’t go beyond nice for me.

brand117

I've said this before in another review, but this very much smells like high-end hairspray. Not a bad thing, mind you, but not exactly my cup of tea... I think it might be the tuberose. It doesn't smell cheap by any means. Absolutely gorgeous bottle in person, too.

minizelda

Very similar to Poême by Lancôme but more modern and suitable for younger women ⭐️💛✨

igalmusic

Just a Mehh fragrance...nothing ground Ground braking about it, just a floral scent. No lasting power whatsoever, overpriced

perfumesniffer

I left a review back in January, 2022 which is still accurate but after wearing half the bottle I’m coming back to sing it’s praises a bit more strongly. This has gone from a like to a love for me with my only (big) frustration being that it’s so fleeting.

Prada La Femme is a gorgeous white/yellow floral that’s delicate, gauzy and leans more natural rather than synthetic. I steer clear of jasmine-centric perfumes but this has enough of a floral mix with emphasis on frangipane and beeswax that I find it hard to pin down specific florals. It’s light and airy and disappears within 2-3 hours but it’s joyous while it lasts. Reminds me the most of Chanel Beige. The image is a breezy 80 degree sunny day with the wind stirring your linen curtains. Effortless class, grace & charm. LOVE.

Mlepnos

It’s so strange, whenever I would sample this perfume it felt very soapy and I could immediately get the carrot seeds which I loved whereas now, ever since I bought a bottle, I get a very strong and sweet (but not too sweet) tropical vibe instead. It’s really strange that it seems so different to me but in any case, I fully agree with what velvetsmile397 wrote below about this perfume and I don’t have much to add. As said below, not a man killer but a very pretty scent!

I sincerely wish that my bottle or nose changes so I can sense that beautiful soapy carrot again though…

6.5/10 it’s a like not a love as for now :)

kumorii.n

I bought Prada infusion d'iris, and I got a 9ml small size of La Femme by Prada. It was exactly what I was looking for!
So what happened is that I went to a hairdresser and got a hair color and a blowout and my hair smelled divine. I wanted to find something similar but I couldn't until I met this fragrance.

La Femme smells clean, fresh and warm at the same time, soapy but in a luxurious way.
I spray this behind my ears and a little bit on my hair and I can smell it when I move my hair, it's so simple and easy to wear, inoffensive, office friendly. Good for any occasion and any season. It can be signature worthy.
I can't say much about longevity since my expectations are to smell it from time to time, when I move around but not all the time.

I must admit it can be boring if you are looking for something special.

velvetsmile397

A very pretty perfume. A bit boring, but pretty and a bit darker than a light airy perfume. To me, this leans heavier on the yellow than white florals and on me I can smell the luxurious beeswax. It does smell like a wispy luxury. A tiny bit generic but not generic in the sense where everyone wears a variation of this perfume. A clean but not lemony clean fragrance that is sure to get you “you smell pretty” or “you smell nice” compliment - not a man killer or a show stopper date night perfume and that’s okay. True fragrance lovers will appreciate this pretty scent.

churinl

I want to love this desperately. When I first spray it on, I can immediately smell the Ylanng, frangipani, and beeswax, but it just disappears on my skin in under 5 minutes regardless of how much or how little I spray. Although the are completely different types of fragrances, I experience the same issue with the several bottles I own from the Infusion line. I do seem to become quickly anosmic to multiple fragrances, where though I can't smell them, others can. But I want to be able to enjoy my perfume as well. If I shove my nose in my wrist, it's the barest of skin scents, and I can discern some other notes, particularly the vanilla, but what's the point of that? In a way, I find it similar to two other, more expensive Chanel EDPs - Beige, and Bois des Iles minus the sandalwood. Maybe I can layer this with them to stretch out my Chanels, but as it is, I can only be generous and give it a Like, simply because I know that there is a gorgeous fragrance hovering outside my ability to smell it. I'm considering purchasing the lotion version to see if that helps, but I'm not certain it's worth the effort and additional cost, especially since I already own the superior and longer lasting Beige. C'est la Vie.

karlee79

Not sure why people keep comparing it to shampoo , to me it's extremely beachy and reminds me of a holiday somewhere war , it the perfect summer scent I layer mine with Vera Wang Princess

Adriennne

I wonder why I never smelled this before. It smells very clean and feminine and long lasting too. Smells like expensive shampoo or hair product by Kerastase. The drydown is the best part! I am so obsessed! Very elegant and classy! Not the typical boring summer scent! This has character.

Sapienta

It literally smells like freshly shampooed hair. But that moment when the hair is still wet. Exact same smell.
To me personaly nothing classy or special yet I wear it and reach for it very often. It is very warm and comforting svent.

JolieSucre

I have to agree with what all the other reviewers wrote, that this is a beautiful, expensive smelling, classy, clean & fresh yet honey flowery fragrance. It is beautiful, versatile, everything ... except two things.

One, there is 'that' Poeme by Lancome note [not sure what it is, rose? spices with beeswax?] that fortunately in this one is just a skin scent to me, very hard to detect and recognize, and in the trail it mixes with the other notes and those around cannot feel it.
I don't like that particular note, to me it screams brown lip liner & frosted lipstick, spiky short hair, glasses and gray suits paired with clunky shoes and ugly purses in the 90s, don't know why. This perfume does not smell like Poeme and is not a dupe at all [I don't like that perfume].

Two, the fact that it doesn't feel strong on my skin and becomes a skin scent very fast. Not sure what's the deal these days but 4 out of 5 perfumes I've recently tried have done this, unbelievable - maybe I'm hormonal ? Who knows.

Otherwise this is really nice and fresh, sweet yet floral and honeyed at the same time. Very nice, Prada, very nice.

Adriennne

This smells so pretty. Clean, creamy, a bit sweet and the iris in it is not over the top and is fresh and airy. The tuberose is sweet and smells amazing. Nothing stands out, all of the notes are blended together in a way you cannot point them if you don't read the description.

And I very much appreciate the fact that it doesn't start with an alcoholic blast like almost every other scent.

Very classy and elegant and has goood sillage and longevity.

I love it.

pon_farr

La Femme is somehow simultaneously giving fresh out of the shower clean, plus warm honeyed floral. It is seriously beautiful. Like you just showered in expensive soaps and you're now wafting through the most beautiful garden on a warm day. I could wear this any day of the year, day or night. It smells expensive and beautiful, and a little formal. It is somewhat light, so I'm curious about the intense version.

Mir5586

I used to own a replica bottle of Cacharel’s Amor Amor.
The moment I realized the similarities I was out.
I was a teenager then and didn’t mind smellint cheap and /or synthetic.

Skinscents4Fusspots

Wow…. So I didn’t realise on the card but when I tested this on my skin it became obvious that this is basically a dupe of Poême by Lancôme! Specifically on my skin it’s the middle notes of that perfume, the sweet and creamy florals before Poême gets to it’s final custard-like dry down. I’d never buy Prada La Femme because I have Poême (and the middle section is my least favourite part of the journey Poême takes me on) but as that one has been discontinued, I’d say this is a pretty perfume that almost matches the brilliance of Poeme!

sistermoon

La femme has the perfect summer vibe. Fresh white flowers, bubblegummy ylang ylang, just a tinge of spice and slightly sweet waxy drydown. I put on my green bikini today and doused myself in this stuff before going out in the sun. I was enveloped in a floral cloud that made me think of the tropics. La femme compliments the summer heat perfectly. And it makes me feel sexy and flirty. :) I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a summer fragrance that isn't fruity/coconutty or lotiony. This is a floral and feels more classy. The bottle is beautiful in an understated way. Made of heavy glass that fits perfectly in the hand.

BethyBee

Absolutely gorgeous scent. The tuberose with ylang ylang are truly delicious. I blind bought this and have no regrets whatsoever. This is different to any of the other florals in my collection. I love it!

Spicy89

The picture I get from this perfume:
You have just taken a shower, put on a flowy dress with flowers on it and you're walking through a summergarden.
A light breeze in your hair, the sun warming your skin.

It smells clean, bright, sweet and floral.

bel.gravia

Tropical tuberose lovely and waxy.

lauraimelda

I consider this perfume signature scent worthy. Can be worn all year long and worn for many occasions. This perfume is for those who like to smell clean, expensive. This perfume smells like you took a shower with the most expensive soap you could imagine, layered some sweet Avon Skin So Soft lotion, then layered on a Sweet, mild expensive fragrance. It is one of the most feminine, clean expensive smelling fragrances I own. Not too strong, not too weak. Lasts all day.

Stoicchild

Beeswax, Vetiver & Magnolia it's beautiful. An interesting blend, reminded me of Kim K's Pure Honey, that one is sweet floral but this one is more deep, alluring & sophisticated. It's nothing sweet, it's creamy and cloudy. If you use this during summer it may give off that soapy scent. My Lancome Tresor comes off like that during warm weather because these perfumes are not meant for hot weather, they're made for cold weather. This is mainly a winter scent.

If you like BDK Tubereuse Imperiale you'd like this too. The dominant notes in that one are Tuberose and Vanilla, this one is mainly Beeswax. If you don't want floral notes and just want something warm during winter use this one. BDK Tubereuse Imperiale is mainly floral which can be good in summer, but not this one. People fail to understand not all scents are meant for all seasons. Warm spicy scents are for winter and fresh clean florals are for summer.

This one is around $150 mark here in Australia, which is still not bad as it's by Prada, but BDK Tubereuse Imperiale is $339 which nearly caused me a heart attack!

Szafirowy czar

I've discovered this fragrance recently and am quite impressed. It's rather sweet and floral, maybe even sweeter than my usual taste, however it still smells pleasant. Also, it's pretty strong and makes me feel extra feminine while wearing it (mostly during the day). A tad retro

Murmur123123

The beeswax note gives it a sweet and resinous character, which makes it more interesting than some other floral perfumes. A nice blend of tropical and white florals, decent projection and lasting power. However it’s not interesting enough to be a full bottle worthy in my opinion.

upk

It has a bright and gorgeous scent. If you like plumeria and orchid, you probably like it. It's very floral and feels like Kirian's Good Girl Gone Bad.

baregifaen

Blind bought this one because Demi Rawling suggested it, but i got to say this is the most boring scent i`ve ever smelled. it is very soapy so if you like to smell like you showered with dove soap, go for it

Atomikbomb_

There's quite a lot of magnolia to my nose in the opening. It drives me insane that I've never experienced magnolia to last well, it's a top note indeed. I enjoy it so much though, it's such a bummer. The first 10 minutes with this is pretty fantastic.

After which, it melts into a fairly familiar floral, and isn't nearly as tropical in nature as I supposed it might be. It feels a little corporate, a little soapy, and quite mild. There's a lot of majorly distinct flowers in the note list, but it's as if all of them are speaking softly at once, and you can't hear any of them clearly. I can tell where the beeswax plays a role, the undertone to all of these florals is a sweetness that does indeed smell of beeswax candles, but it's not strong or very noticeable. To be fair, if I didn't know it was supposed to be there, I would assume it was possibly the tuberose, because tuberose can display waxy nuances. It lasts about 3 hours before becoming a faint skin scent, and there's no vetiver to my nose.

At any rate, this is very versatile, and would make a good work day fragrance, but I was hoping for a little more enticement. It's clean, impeccable, and only the very most presentable sides of each flower included...everyone is on their best behavior.

This is by no means a bad fragrance (it's quite the opposite...at least, for as long as it lasts), but I enjoy things much more when some personality peeks through 😘

DJoy27

Mmmm. So tropical and summery. It’s like being in a Hawaiian garden when it’s really sunny. It almost smells like watermelon to me too! Just so good and pretty. Love it

Midnight Lady

Indeed a very luxurious soapy scent. Not much fruits left in drydown. Classy clean scent with a powdery touch from iris, can't picture it would offend anyone. I feel like I just did my laundry and put the fresh, clean clothes on.

7/10

DiscoPolga

It opens fresh, with a hint of creamy magnolia. It develops into a sweet white floral with a tropical twist. I get frangipani, ylang and tuberose - no spices and no powder. I personally don't get any soap either. It might be one of the better done white florals around. It's not exploding in your face with crazy intensity like L'Interdit or My Way - it keeps rather close to the skin and creates a soft cloud of fragrance around you. I really like it. One downside is longevity, it's gone within 3 hours.

perfumesniffer

super lovely fresh conservative tuberose floral.

I agree with many reviews below mine describing this as a wealthy woman with class, taste & wealth. it does make me think of beige cashmere cardigans or Eileen Fisher summer linens, Hermes bracelets and tasteful gold jewelry.

the florals are slightly tropical but done in a restrained manner. You could dislike tuberose but still enjoy this. It’s sweet but not overly so, almost slightly less sweet than it could be. I don’t really ever notice vanilla, beeswax or spices. A few weeks ago I bought RL Woman Intense which seems like the sweeter and more syrupy sexy version of this. In my collection I’d compare it to Teo Cabanel Lace Garden which is a juicier & fruitier magnolia fragrance and Le Labo Lys 41 (also more potent). Chanel Beige is the closest in style and longevity.

this is a reserved, fresh and modern white floral. If it was more potent and much longer lasting I’d really love this as a spring & summer office scent or for a lunch-brunch kind of affair. but it’s really way too discreet & fleeting for me to be gaga about it but I bought a bottle and I will use it (while remaining bitter about its longevity). It’s very pretty while it lasts (for 2 hours).

Scent 8.5/10
Longevity 3/10

melusina1982

Very elegant and put together. Signature worthy if it weren't for the terrible performance.
It smells like fancy lotion,a cozy cashmere sweater and simple gold jewelry.

jenayca

Very sophisticated and clean. I'm not sure why I liked it so much better in the store (probably cuz I had smelled too many perfumes at that point lol) but honestly now it just smells like that basic hotel type of soap to me. Also gives me a migraine so I'm gonna have to give it away.

wquila

Thank god I only got a sample of this. On paper, okay, classy. A mature-has her own career-well put-white cardigan-ankle length cigarette pants-with heels-hair tied on clean bun-and black thinly framed square glasses on- type of woman. But on clothing, meh. I take that back.

Basic, basic, non mind-blowing.

Forbiddenjade

Super feminine tuberose - not sure why frangipani is listed as prominent, for it's not - backed by ylang ylang and a tad of magnolia. A light green bite, rendering the overall feel one of fresh, white, delicate floral.

Lovely, long lasting, not at all old lady - but if that means not sugary then I can understand why such comment...
It's classy in a demure and delicate way, I loved it and think it's worth a buy.
Not just for office use, mainly spring time day time use - it's uplifting, soft, but persistent and noticeable.

Nora Gad

A huge disappointment fro me ,Nothing soapy here it's just honey bees with a little hint of ylang-ylang , Old lady perfume

perfumeasf

This perfume smells like a pear to me for some reason. Its pretty, but nothing special.

townej

I didn't think it was possible but this perfume really does smell like you've just stepped out of a luxurious bubble bath!

kerrylovesgourmand

While this is a decent office fragrance, it never failed to give me a headache. Sold my bottle.

Kaylovely

If you want diptyque's moheli try this for a stronger thicker EDP instead of 105 for the EDT use fragrancenet and sign up for text a live person may text you and just let them know you had the 35% off but it popped away also signing up for text should allow the 35% in the first place.

elizabethhaag

I want to love this but it's just too similar to several I have in my collection. If anyone wants to buy a 1.1 oz bottle off me that was bought in 2021 and is over 75% full, message me!

rossi150

Soapy, classy, floral and very clean scent. Great for the office but also it is sexy in some way.

keithscents

I almost not bought this because of the bad reviews here but it's actually a pretty good scent. It smells clean and rich. I get the soapy reference, but it's soapy in a highend way. It last very long, on both skin and clothes. It's very unoffensive and it just give this classy lady vibes. Sillage is average.

Rating this 8/10

Demetria

This is a strong perfume and I'm not going to lie this initially smelled like something a grandma would wear... after two years of not wearing it though the smell has grown on me and changed. I only started wearing it this year and so far so good. It's a soapy powdery scent with white floral notes. Think like a woman in business wearing her high heels, hair in a ponytail, pencil skirt or business pants with a clean white polo/blouse. It's an elegant and mature smell for sure and I don't see it being pulled off by a young girl. It's a perfume made for a mature woman who looks and feels a certain way. Not blind buy safe in my opinion. You really need to try this in person or get a sample cause it is not a simple fragrance.

Dragonweengs

Love the versatility of this fragrance!
Depending on the weather I get strong creamy frangipani & YLang-YLang, on cooler weather I get the honeyed beeswax and a creamy tuberose and vanilla. The scent’s sweetness comes from the yellow florals. It is a signature scent, long lasting and strong projecting. The dry down is soft and feminine. Definitely for frangipani lovers!

The frangipani reminds me of Valentino Donna Acqua, but not as sweet.

lysithea

This perfume is pure happiness. It is a yellow color for sure. Happy bright and warm like the sun. It reminds me of elie saab l'eau couture. Sweet and green fresh at the same time. The beeswax is the most dominant note in this. I really enjoy this scent. Could be a signature perfume for me.

Bee45

I like this fragrance. It is very floral and warm but fresh and clean at the same time. I can smell the beeswax very much. I thought I would not like it since I don’t like honey scents, but the beeswax hasn’t been bothering me. I can see why people would say this could be an everyday scent. It is a nice fragrance that isn’t overwhelming.

Bubbles1964

Prada La Femme is an example of what I don’t like in perfume; too sweet, too generic and nothing special. Sometimes a middle-of-the-road perfume is more offensive than an outright stinker. A comparison can be made in almost any creative field. Example: I’d rather paint and fail than go on auto pilot, creating a mediocre crowd pleaser.

I don’t mean to be offensive to those that love this perfume. Hopefully dissenting views are allowed to remain for others to read.

stephania3000

I am not a tuberose fan, I actually detest tuberose in most fragrances but this is the exception. La Femme is clean, warm but not cloying, sophisticated, an all-year, all-occasions fragrance.
This feels calming, like a hug from a mother or a cozy blanket. I live in a tropical climate and I can use this even in the high heat with no problem.
This is absolute olfactory perfection.

marialena888m

I wanted to love this based off the notes, but I’m Middle Eastern and this smells like a cheap knock-off of some fragrance I feel like I’ve smelled a million times before. It’s so screechy sweet and nauseating.

Erica.Cass

Fresh, clean, beautiful! I love this in fall and winter!

Neckromancer

This is aqueous with a creamy undertone. It actually sort of smells like it could be a conditioner. A little like Pantene, but less sweet. It's a watery tuberose-y scent that does have a slight sharpness to it. I feel like I smell a pineapple note in there as well. I was afraid the scent would be waxy ( I really dislike waxy vanillas), but I'm not getting the kind of waxiness that I expected. I like that it doesn't smell synthetic/cheap.

Ferra_Verto

Lovely! Beachy summery florals with just enough sophistication from the ylang and tuberose to keep it grounded. And the honeycomb! Waxy, sweet, and just slightly on the right side of light-animalic. Really beautiful, my only complaint that it is not long-lasting, at all! 2-3 hrs at best, a shame because this is truly wonderful. One time I wouldn't mind a reformulation, if just to make it last longer.

jules097

Great scent, all season friendly, office friendly. Not in your face, more subtle with the dry down.

Aiga1

This is a masterpiece - sweet yet fresh, fresh yet sexy.. Have to reapply during the day, but I'll never give this up.

julheart

A very pretty white floral. The citrus in the opening is nice as is the frangipani and honey drying/dried down.
I have this grouping of white floral frags including Lys 41, Fracas, Pure Poison, Hummingbird, Champs Lunaires, more... I'm not a huge white floral forward fan (maybe bc there are so many) but there are times when I want that. Slight soapiness, sex, and all. Like in this sweltering Summer we're having.

I'm likely to get a bottle to add to my collection - it is lovely and affordable. And it does have a little extra something with that berg/frangipani/honey combo with the tuberose.

ayken

This fragrance is straight-up edible, it makes your mouth water. Yet at the same time it is so fresh- truly love this combo and how the tuberose plays a part in this fragrance, unfortunately, I do not see myself wearing it but it would be such a great gift for mothers day. 9/10

hours later and from all of the testers this stands out the most, it is such a versatile perfume, to be honest. at first, it seems sweet and then floral and now it is fresh, I really start to like it for its longevity as well.

sectumsempra

Smells rich and intriguing, a bit sweet like honey
BUT the longevity and sillage are such a miss, barely smell it on myself right after applying, bummer!

Kaylovely

This is nuits de noho.

Rinio

This is Poeme by Lancôme! I tried Prada femme in 2017 and I am surprised itvdidn’t ring a bell then. I bought it now and bang! there is Poeme -one of my favourite perfumes of all time. I have been wearing Poeme for over 20 years. Not sure what Madame Roche was thinking though? Copying a classic from 1995? No copyright infringement fears?

harperpeshhe

My oh my, this is beautiful. Prada La Femme is a silky creamy tropical floral that is like a luxurious Island holiday and I love it. This is my favourite reach on a warm rainy day and when this fragrance really blooms. A very successful blind buy that will be part of my collection from here on.

CaliBlonde

This is very pretty! Light and classy, with a tropical/beachy vibe from the florals. Reminds me slightly of Lys 41 by Le Labo.

Makes me picture being in Hawaii and I just took a shower at a fancy resort. Clean skin, the smell of luxury spa products, and Hawaiian flowers wafting on the breeze.

Suitable for all ages but I’d say enjoyed best by someone 25+. Suitable for year round, definitely office friendly. FB worthy!

adelaidesandrina

hmm, when i was about to buy this one i thought yes i guess it’s soapy but omg.. i didn’t expect it to be THIS soapy. i was shocked, truly. that’s all i could smell for a while.. smells like expensive bar soaps, the ones that would probably cost you a fortune. 💸

frangipani? not as strong as chanel beige (imho).. doesn’t really stand out
honey? oh yes it’s so beautiful and luxurious 🍯 most of the sweetness comes from here, not the vanilla. can’t really smell the vanilla

there’s this animalic note to it when it’s coming towards the drydown, i think that’s the beeswax??
i would consider this a tropical scent tbh.. tropical dove bar soap 😂

overall a pleasant fragrance, but i’m not a huge fan of clean, soapy scents so it’s an 8/10 from me.
not a revolutionary one, but again if you’re into these perfumes it’s definitely for you

Pebblesjebbles333

This smells so divine! Smells, rich, soapy and classy. It’s like show me you are elegant without telling me you are elegant vibes. I loooove this!

luxair

This is my favourite... Fragipani flower or bunga kamboja in my country is the best flower in my garden, exactly the same how fragipani smell 10/10

StinkyTinky

One of my most complimented scents ever. It upholds clean to the highest degree, without smelling soapy. I get beachy, buttery florals in the summer heat. In the cold the beach elements retract, and it leans more fresh and sophisticated. The bees wax alongside vanilla make this smell almost like a tacky texture. Which is entertaining given the fact it’s such a fresh scent.
And the bottle, need I say more? Pull the trigger

Balletflowers

This is very sweet & tropical with a touch of fresh floral. I definitely get the frangipani, ylang ylang, beeswax & Tuberose. This also smells like expensive/fancy soap, but I love it! I’ve never smelled another perfume like this before so it’s definitely staying in my collection. Perfect for the spring or summer on a sunny bright day. I got compliments on it today while wearing it for the first time. The projection is great, once spritz & it projects. The only downside is the poor longevity, a couple hours & then it becomes a very soft close to skin scent.

Lizabs68

Beautiful scent

Absolutely beautiful!! What a gem! On my skin, the frangipani and magnolia are very prominent. The spices give it a bit of a kick, taking it far away from being just another boring floral. And the iris gives it just a bit of powdery-ness, enough to make me love it, but not too much to make it cloying. I don’t feel the ylang-ylang or the beeswax at all! After a couple of hours, it becomes a fresh floral, I have no idea which note gives it freshness!

hsiangchi.huang

Jeremy Fragrance was right... This is essentially a white floral bar soap in a nutshell. Clean, simple expensive, but kinda boring. It's an easy grab-and-go and office-friendly frag, but don't expect too much femininity out of this.

Reading the reviews for Prada La Femme makes me love the ART of fragrance. Everyone smells something different and that is fascinating. I agree with so many of the reviews. I smell the fancy soap vibe. I do think this is a tuberose forward scent. I also get the tropical feel. It's slightly sweet and fresh at the same time. I've been wearing this for a few months now and this is best in warmer weather. It lasts really well on my skin and forever on clothing. I must say that I am an over-sprayer in general, but definitely with La Femme. I reach for this A LOT. I'm embarrassed to say that I've ordered a back up bottle. Great everyday, signature worthy, year round office-friendly scent.

I blind bought Prada la femme based on the reviews that it was a soapy/ classy parfume. When I first sprayed it I definitely smelled the frangipani and ylangylang mix like in narciso ambree. I didn’t like it. But the dry down is gorgeous. It is soapy but not harsh. It’s a creamy soap with a hint of sweetness.
It’s definitely work appropriate but can be quite sexy with the right outfit and setting.
Sillage an longevity are both not that great on me. It’s a skin scent and I can’t smell it on my skin after 3-4 hours. On my clothes on the other hand it says until the next wash.
I would give it a try when you like the narciso by narciso but want something little fresher and summery.

Tsatsenskaya

Blind bought it based on reviews. The scent was not quite what I expected. Here's what the reviews did not convey very accurately, in my opinion. This is a tuberose perfume. Tuberose front and center. Not an old-fashioned tuberose, you will not smell like a grandma (but it would be gorgeous on a grandma, or on any grown up woman). I love soapy perfumes, but more in the Chanel no5 and no22 direction. I believe soapy scents are very trendy right now, as is tuberose. In my opinion there are several soapier smelling perfumes in the mainstream right now. Even YSL Libre could be soapier than this.
This is a white floral and it is definitely sweet. Very pleasing, easy, non-offensive, office appropriate. It is not blowing my mind because there are several tuberose fragrances out there right now. So it is almost mainstream. Very 2020. If you are interested in this because reviews mention how classy it is, be aware that yes it is, but it does not scream classy. This will not replace any of your Chanels. Twilly d'Hermes is a classier tuberose, imo.
The opening is fresh floral-green and it becomes sweeter as time goes by and tuberose takes the center stage. It is gorgeous, easy grab and indeed put together. Not a statement fragrance in my opinion.
Could be gorgeous in the summer.
I will be wearing this a lot for sure, because it does go well with most of my outfits and style. Good longevity. Intimate to moderate sillage depending on air temperature and humidity.

Sweetfemme

I loved this at first sniff and with the dry down it just better and better. I sprayed at 12pm when I received it and it’s now 7pm and I can still smell it...I’ll update if it fades before I shower for bedtime. The projection is moderate and it leaves a trail. I love it so much, very sophisticated clean soapy floral that’s not dated. I think it’s a safe blind buy if you like florals. The vanilla isn’t prominent at all but gives it a ever so slight sweetness and makes the floral notes smooth. The florals are very well blended together. It’s warm and fresh at the same time.

Azisai-

Such a fascinating one!

At first I was a bit skeptical of the beeswax note, I thought "how could beeswax smell good in a perfume?", and of course I underestimated it's charm. The beeswax gives it an animalic tone that works in almost every weather perfectly - some sort of a unique, bitter smell that I haven't felt before. Along with the carrot seed note and vetiver, it makes an uncommon blend. It's not dripping weirdness though, the frangipani and tuberose make it predominantly floral. I think I really like the mix of ylang-ylang and beeswax, something familiar to it...

It's very feminine and has something elegant and classy to it, I could imagine this being from any other time period. It has a sort of timeless-ness to it...that being said it earns my respect! This could be my most unique spring perfume.

jenbarker99

This is lovely. The opening is pure bergamot, which quickly dissipates to be replaced by a sweet white floral that reminds me of honeysuckle. After about 30 minutes I'm left with a scent that reminds me of bubble gum and pink flowers, almost like candied freesia. It's delicious, young and feminine without being juvenile, and perfect for spring and summer. It's warm and mellow and brings to mind sundresses and bare feet. The beeswax lends a thickness to the scent that makes me think of a rich body cream. However, the sillage is nonexistent, and the fragrance is almost completely gone on me after about an hour, barely even lingering in my clothes. I've never received a comment on this one, either positive or negative. There's really nothing unique or memorable about La Femme, definitely not enough to warrant the luxury price tag. I'm happy with my purse spray, but I won't be purchasing the full size.

SummerRose

This was a blind buy. It's clean, well blended, sofisticated with a touch of incense and sweetness from the beeswax and vanilla. It's really cosy and I absolutely love it!

S.pet

Does anyone happen to have an option for layering that can dial down the beeswax note? I find that note to be so off-putting but the rest is such a nice white floral that I am not quite ready to give up on it yet..

Holli

A plush, squishy floral without any rough edges. Love it. If you love these kinds of scents, you already have plenty like it. But, you probably won't be able to resist it. Also, I'm not a bottle person too much, but this flacon is sexy.

CurrencyThat

Fresh, clean, inoffensive. I wondered if honey here may translate to a mild sweetness, but it does not. In fact, it adds a tartness that rounds out its clean and crisp profile. If bergamot makes it ‘clean’ then perhaps honey adds ‘crispness.’ In honesty, its notes are well blended and therefore not as easy to differentiate. I feared this was borderline masculine when it started to dry down (and to no surprise, vetiver's a base note). But with time (a few minutes), it settled into a feminine-leaning scent though I do believe anyone can wear it. It’s one of those scents where the person wearing it develops its personality and charm. And I do get faint hints of vanilla, but it isn’t at all juvenile. In fact, it adds a creaminess that adds to its all-around charm. La Femme is wearable year-round in my opinion though it may stand out best in cooler fall temps. Not a skin scent but may require a few more sprays than usual to project and last the entire day.

smellgoodz87

This is such a beautiful fragrance! It was love at first sniff just gorgeous. The tuberose and honey notes stand out but they’re supported my a beautiful combination of notes! Love this!

hollandbri

This was my most recent blind buy and one of my best! I don’t know how anyone could possibly dislike this. It’s a womanly, warm and clean floral. Bright and exciting while still maintaining wearability. This is a perfect Florida everyday scent.

Mentmorian

I made the mistake of buying this not once but twice, both times on a plane. I'd forgotten I'd bought the first one (hated it, left it on holiday) then I only went and did the same thing, forgetting I'd bought the first one. I tried to like it, I love Prada's eponymous EDP, but on me this smells of unpleasant washing up liquid. I ended up using the second bottle as air freshener in the bathroom and even then disliked it every time I sprayed it. Didn't sell as it was the beginning of the original lockdown and going to the post office was non essential (as is now, during the UK's third lockdown...) So glad I finally finished that bottle, as it was guilt tripping me every time I saw the bottle. Note to self DO NOT BUY UNTESTED PERFUME ESPECIALLY AFTER A GLASS OF WINE ON A PLANE.

s2jkbrad

Very elegant, classy scent. Something about it reminds me of the perfume 5th Avenue but this is nicer and spicier.. The bergamot is strong in the opening; and I smell the iris, spices and honeycomb. I’ve been using a small sample of this but when it runs out, I’d like to add this to my collection. I can see this becoming a signature day scent for me , as it’s interesting and soothing, but I can’t see anyone being offended by it.

moccacino

La Femme by Prada is my first parfume from this brand and was a blind-buy. The scent is long lasting - over 6 hours on my skin, creamy, flowery, soft and somehow quite warm, subtly sweet but very soapy powdery scent. Great for everyday/work.

blissedoutsweetheart93

smells like an expensive lotion and it's very clean and airy. unfortunately my skin eats it up. I wish it lasted longer for me :(

Soozatska

Ahh La Femme, another shapeshifter. She really is wonderfully complex when you pull her close. By that I mean, when you hold the exact spot on your skin where you sprayed it directly to your nose, because there is virtually no sillage. Up close, I do get all of the wonderful nuance of heady tropical flowers, something sort of lean and vegetal (carrot seed?!), dewy, waxy honey, and even a little touch of spice. If you back up even just a few inches though, it just smells cloyingly sweet and as though the flowers have wilted in the sun. I have had this issue with frangipani scents before (like Sun di Gioia), they seem so fully bodied at first, and then they just deflate, seemingly within just a few moments. I want so much to relish in that tropical flower phase, but this juice is as fleeting as youth. It's like that girl at a party that is shockingly, impossibly chic, but also so elusive.

S.pet

When I first sprayed this all I could imagine was a woman late 30s early 40s in a clawfoot tub enjoying a bath with luxurious soaps in Paris .. not exactly a fan. However after putting it in the category of beautiful bottles, meh fragrance, I decided to revisit it. Now it has this clean, classy, becoming sense to it, that's quite nice if you are getting bored with the humdrum of gourmands and fruity florals. Not a favorite in my collection but a standout none the less, will be using for brighter simple t-shirt casual fresh days.

Miss Dolittle

Just received this treasure. The initial smell was honey, floral. I wouldn't say I fell in love at first sniff. Just definitely smells of luxury. Bit of a bargain price at TK Maxx, like £20 cheaper than my usual online perfumer. Hence, why I thought I'd give it a whirl. Was also intrigued by the notes, (beeswax ) mainly. I don't think I'll buy it again as I haven't fallen instantly in love. Glad I have tried it though. I'm self-isolating at the moment, so can't comment sillage.

rosevetiver

I was introduced to Prada fragrances through the gentle Miu Miu line which to my relief neither overwhelm my sensitive nose, nor cause a headache. The Prada fragrances seem gentler too.

I describe this as a too sweet honey scent becuase there are very distinct honey notes, and thats almost all I could smell. I like this fragrance but for me it still a little too strong even though its very close to what I like. longevity is about 10-12 hours, sillage is about 6' covid distance apart. (sample from scent bird) 8/10

oliviaryan121

I got given this as a gift, a mistake after wanting the pink Prada la femme edt which smells entirely different. I am usually one for citrusy, white floral scents which this is NOT. At first I could smell only powder and felt it was too old for my 20 years. However, I started spraying it at night before bed, something I never wanted to waste my favourite scents on and have come to love it. It is not overwhelming or headache inducing and prolongs a fresh, out of the shower feel. The bottle is beautiful, which is what drew me to the la femme scents initially. It may be a little luxurious to buy a before-bed-scent, but if you are looking for one, this is lovely. Otherwise, I think it could be great for layering. I think it will be particularly nice in the autumn considering I have only really worn it in the humid summer.

cheycf

I received a sample of this fragrance with a perfume order I placed online, it's not one I had come across before so I didn't really know what to expect.

The opening of this fragrance is white floral, very sweet but with a slight spiciness underneath that stops being too cloying. It's quite strong to begin with, anyone who stands within a few feet of you will be able to smell this for the first few hours.

The dry down does sit closer to the skin but is still quite strong, I was asked what perfume I was wearing a good four or five hours after application by someone sat next to me. The beeswax note is the star of this scent in the dry down. It's a very sweet, honey type pollen scent. To me, this stage of the fragrance smelt exactly like Marc Jacob Honey which, unfortunately for me, is a scent I gave away as I didn't like it.

The scent is strong and long lasting, it performs well and I imagine this would be a good buy if the scent is your thing. Unfortunately, I just no do like these beeswax type scents. I don't mind the opening but the dry down just doesn't do it for me.

Hypatia22

When I first sniffed this, I was afraid it was going to be another floral perfume that smelled a like suffocating brick of pollen ( l'instant, Gucci bloom Ambrosia). Give it a minute and it becomes more transparent and fresh. This is a floral perfume that I'm able to wear. Has a polleny aspect to it , which can be the beeswax. It is creamy, subtly sweet but soapy at the same time. Great for everyday/work.

The intense has a strong cloves note to me , or (dental office) which deterred me , but the l'eau was quite pleasant and a bit more tropical.

Jacquis

I purchased Prada La Femme in the hottest month of the summer. In Florida, it was averaging 96F and very humid. Prada La Femme had no chance. I couldn't see the beauty. It was very weak and had no projection. I was so disappointed. Now, it is Autumn in FL. The temperature tonight is 56F. Prada La Femme is gorgeous. I can finally see the beauty of the gummy, waxy tuberose. So creamy and clean. Absolutely beautiful. For me, this is definitely not a high heat summer perfume. Works better in transitional seasons.

uno

creamy frangipani.
long lasting.

Anamandy

The more I wear this, the more I like it, the more I'm coming to love it. I love the magnolia in this fragrance. It has the most realistic magnolia of any perfume I've tried to date. I can smell it on opening and all throughout the fragrance. I know everyone is focusing on the tuberose, but for me it's the magnolia. It's like the soloist in a symphony, and the tuberose, beeswax, frangi, iris, and every other note the accompanying orchestra, and all are playing in perfect harmony. Creamy, a little powdery, and no cloying sweetness. Very unusual sunny perfume that is just an absolute delight to wear.

This goes on my future fb To Purchase list for sure.

sassenach

In a Malaysian olfactory context, this smells like a cross between baby soap, minyak yuyi and minyak atar. Semoga membantu.

Rachelitaheart

Let me start by saying that this is beautiful and inoffensive in a way that I would love to smell this everywhere. It does smell like a luxury soap on the opening, on paper, and on clothes.

It actually reminded me of a particular vacation I had when I was younger and this was the scent of their soaps and shampoos and I was OBSESSED with it as a kid. I remember keeping the empty shampoo bottle for years to get a whiff of that fresh, relaxing scent.

But please try this on your skin before buying if you are looking specifically for a FRESH fragrance, because on my skin, after about 10 minutes, I was hit with a beautiful, but overwhelming sweet honey that must come from the beeswax note.

Again, it is beautiful, but this sweetness was not what I was expecting given the countless reviews on how this smells simply clean. It smells fancy and clean on paper, but it smells fancy and SWEET on my skin. Maybe in a colder climate, it wouldn't turn so sweet on my skin, but be warned that this isn't a fresh-out-of-the-shower scent because of the sweet factor.

Still, try it, it might remind you of a fond memory you didn’t remember having like it did to me. Sillage is decent but not offensive. Longevity is pretty strong.

ElizaM96

My profile: 24-year old female

This is a very pleasant perfume, it leans more to the clean fresh smelling perfumes. It gives me Chanel No.5 vibes, and smells like I've freshly come out of the shower every time I wear it. A few sprays in the morning and this will last me late into the night. Also smells like quality and value, you can tell it's not a cheap celebrity fragrance.

When I first tried it I was unsure, but this is definitely a great perfume and I've received great compliments when wearing this.

Petula009

I finished my 30ml bottle today. The things I can say about La Femme are mostly positive! I love how unique it is when it comes to floral parfums. It is slightly soapy and clean feeling as well. It is perfect for office, but it can carry more formal events as well. The silliage is medium, the lasting power is about 4 hours full, another 2 of a skin scent. I think it could be an interesting alternative to a Chanel or Dior, when you are buying parfums for workspace.
Form:30ml bottle
Vibes: unique yellow flowers, office-appropriate, soapy, clean

danygurl06

I’ve had samples of this since last year and only recently purchased a bottle. So I’m giving an updated review.This smells even better out of big bottle than those little tester sprays. It also doesn’t give me a headache anymore either.

From an actual FB, I can smell the spices, the banana like ylang, the powdery creaminess from the tuberose and iris and the waxy sweetness of beeswax. It’s a lovely fragrance.

The tuberose is not the star of this fragrance. I barely smell the tuberose but it’s for sure in there. I think I unfairly was blaming frangipani for a note in tropical fragrances I didn’t like. Maybe I do like frangipani because I smell something more than just ylang ylang, magnolia and tuberose for floral notes.

It’s fresh and feminine. I still say it smells like a lotion or hand cream. It has a wet lotion quality like Amouage Ciel, but they smell nothing alike. They also share that type of sweetness that isn’t sugary.

I thought that TF Soleil Blanc was going to smell similar to this but they are vastly different to my nose. I just didn’t get the creaminess from Soleil Blanc. It was just dry and spicy on my skin.

monikaasiya

I received it as a gift and i couldn't be happier.
It is " the something else" in my collection, a different scent then those that i usually wear,

but it is stunning!
very feminine , light and clean.

It is all about some light smelling flowers with a little bit of honey and a pinch of spices but all of it is so nicely blended that it just smells clean.

it is delicate but it has character (probably thanks to the spices)

Once it's finished I would most probably buy it again.

Sreza7

This is amazing. Creamy rich body lotion scent. It reminds me alittle of jergens in-shower body lotion monoi oil. To me this opens up very creamy, honey sweet lotion then after ten minutes the soap comes through and smells more soapy and floral, then after an hour the soapiness disappears and it’s back to the opening again. floral, sweet and light, like a body lotion. This would be great in spring and summer. I might have to get a bottle of this!!

chltdelux

OMG!! THIS SMELLS SOOOO PRETTY, it last over 10hrs on skin.its divine and smells classy and clean.

elledeelee

The notes listed look amazing, but the reality sadly did not live up to expectations. It's a rather too mature, sour white floral. I adore tuberose but here it is mixed in with too many other things - buttery honey candies and toilet cleaner; hairspray, soap and something green. Theres a sour note that I often get from yellow florals but it isn't blended as well here as it is in Guerlain Terracotta for example - it sticks out and overpowers instead of mixing in and playing nicely with all the other notes. Overall, I'm not a fan.

car0

This is exactly like a very expensive hotel soap, clean and short of just-out-the-shower vibes. I'd say this is a pretty safe blind buy and a very work-appropiate scent as it isn't overwhelming nor obnoxious. Sadly I find the lasting power to be quite lacking.

ekowala7

Like many of the reviews below, I truly do find this to be such an elegant fragrance. Even not being a tuberose fanatic myself, I still find this to be gorgeous. This opens smelling like an expensive floral soap that you might get at a 4-star hotel in a big city, then as it wears, it becomes less soapy and more creamy and sweet.

Longevity is moderate for me 4-6 hours on skin, silage is moderate as well.

Overall 6.5/10, I don't know if I'll be purchasing a FB but there is something really regal about this fragrance.

BoutiqueLove

This is a stunning fragrance- it took sometime to grow on me and now I am in love and have a back up bottle.
Its everything in one fragrance and is for all occasions- work, home, casual, dinner party, wedding, holiday.
Its warm regal clean comforting elegant understated poised body lotion smell. Floral soft honey creamy soapy. This is safe blind buy. Just give it time

strut

Creamy white floral gorgeousness. It is quite linear but very addictive. I think it is safe as a present.

rosy124

Before receiving it, I was worried the tuberose would make this smell a little dated on me but it's pretty undetectable in this fragrance. Creamy, feminine and slightly sweet like honey.
To me this smells like a luxury/high-end designer shop!

Aleksandra009

Reading and listening to reviews, I expected this to be safe, clean, nothing special office scent. But oh my, this is so beautiful!! Well blended, ultra feminine, elegant in cold weather and sexy tropical in hot months. This simply smells like a beautiful, rich woman. It's not for everyone though..ripped jeans or uggs won't do with this one.

Pussycat1

This offering from Prada is beautifully elegant. White floral mixed with fresh soapy citrus sea spray classiness and stiletto toned and tanned chique. At first spray I felt like a million dollars, I’d been to the gym all my life, owned a yacht in the South of France and was chairwoman of a fashion house on vacation.. My outfit is pure Dior.
This is a fantasy perfume that elevates you to an expensive realm. Light yet superb longevity, elegant and rich yet very feminine and sexy. I absolutely love what this perfume does to my psyche and will wear this to Sainsburys if I need to transport myself out of the glums. Pure magic.

MissyJ

Nice soapy fragrance. Safe blind buy. More soapy in colder weather. In heat it is really floral on my skin. Good office scent. Pretty unmemorable.

danygurl06

When I first smelled Prada La Femme, it brought me back to when I was 6 or 7. It reminded me of some expensive hand or body cream from Mary Kay or Avon. I’m talking about when spending $15+ for a tiny tube was considered expensive. Also back then, I would break out in hives from all the good smelling expensive bath and body type products. 😂 So this is why I associate this fragrance with expensive toiletry items.

This fragrance is creamy and has a lotion vibe. The creamy sweetness is my favorite part of it. I’m assuming it is because of the Tuberose, ylang ylang and beeswax. To my common nose, it has top notes that are effervescent and hover over the skin like you bathed with bar soap. Over all, this fragrance just smells well groomed and casually elegant. I would say this is a daytime fragrance.

So who do I imagine wearing this? It’s for the woman whose idea of a white tee and jeans is a silk button up and jeans without any rips or frays. She would probably pair it with cute heeled sandals instead of tennis shoes. Her hair would look like she had a fresh blowout and be wearing soft natural makeup. She’d wear this fragrance to go out to brunch with her friends before going to her weekly nail appointment.

How does this compare to the flanker La Femme L’eau? L’eau lacks that rich creaminess that makes the edp smell like luxury. L’eau also smells more soapy like a mix between baby shampoo and thumbing through a magazine with perfumed ads. Also, the edp is sweeter.
To me, the edp smells like a woman who doesn’t leave the house without being put together. She’s a little more mature than the L’eau even though L’eau smell like something my bubble bath obsessed grand-mom would wear.

michellepacheco3334

This is a nice perfume.its floral and clean not too strong has a nice balance. I bought a set 3.4oz eau de Parfum with a 3.4 oz lotion. Although I like it, I just bought a few more perfumes and decided to sell this one so if anyone is interested just PM me. Edit: I sold it.

Margarita Birda

This perfume blooms in hot weather. It is a fresh clean soapy scent with a touch of flowery notes but none more noticeable than the other. Very well blended. It almost immediately turns into skin scent that lasts around 3 hours on skin but 2 days on clothes!! Gym clothes will smell great even after intense training and sweating! It gives off Calvin Klein vibes but more feminine and less synthetic! Perfect for office or for women that cannot handle intense perfume smells well.

meg0825

This is wonderful. Rich, elegant, and feminine. I love it! I'm not at all surprised that I love this. I enjoy all of Daniela Andrier's creations. I absolutely adore her work for the Prada Candy line. This has warm, sunny, and creamy florals, soft spices, beeswax, and woods. GORGEOUS!

AreZta

Para mi es la hija alegre y tierna de Poeme de Lancome, menos intrusiva, más fresca pero al parecer soy de las raras, porque al igual que poeme me dura muchísimo, todo el día.
A sido una buena opción sustituta, ya que aunque gaste el poeme pensé que era muy dificil de llevarlo porque era muy intenso, aun si se colocara poco.

TheScentedNotebook

Softer than I was expecting but immediate love!

helanaadel

Just got this today!
I am in love! That is such a well-balanced fragrance, not too sweet, not too floral, not too creamy. It is just a little bit of everything in a very good way. I can imagine myself wearing it with a white shirt and jeans for work or on with white cocktail dress on a boat :)

sugarandchic

I practically drooled the first time I smelled this.

I thought this was the most beautiful smell I had smelled in my life.

Gorgeous, full-bodied, creamy white flowers drizzled with the sweetest honey. It smelled like the most luxurious shampoo money could buy.

Ultra feminine and quite sweet. Even though my nose has now gotten used to the smell (I'm on my 4th? bottle now, which should say a lot), I still sometimes get asked what I'm wearing by wide-eyed people who have the same expression that I did all those years ago.

I think it's perfect for anyone who wants to feel more confident, more sexy, more beautiful and attract people like them like bees to sweet, precious nectar.

Fabiana Fiesmann

I loved this one so much, but unfortunately it doesn't last.

gweyslabao

Delivery!!! One huge yellow floral bouquet for Miranda Priestly!!!

Lorax

This was one of the first white flower/tuberoses that I fell in love with and the only one I can continue to wear and enjoy years later. If you tend to have a hard time with strong white florals (headaches, nausea), still give this a try. It DOES have a lot of tuberose, and fairly sweet, but is a little woody/vetiver to counteract the floral. I also really love the creaminess of the honeycomb and vanilla, but they are just gently complementary to the whole scent.

This scent is elegant but fun, and feels the same every time I reach for it. I feel like I could wear it pretty much anytime, any where, and it would not be wrong, but its still not boring.

I dont agree about the comments about poor longevity, though I'd say its average, not amazing.

Comparing it to the flankers:
--I find the intense has too much patchouli, which ruins the whole point of the lovely balance I described above. Its *IS* intense- STRONG- but its just not that interesting.
--I really like L'eau a lot, and it has a citrus aspect that freshens it up, and would make it perfect for hotter weather than the original. Sadly, I cant be convinced to but a bottle based on longevity. Overall I prefer the original anyway.

I'm on the end of my second bottle of this. It just keeps disappearing....

artsyfartsyhaha

LOVE THE BOTTLE.

as for the scent...
I love sweeter light scents and do not really like the vintage older powdery and slightly spicy scents like Chanel N5. This reminds me of those but an updated version that is slightly creamier and alittle less powder/spice.

If I had smelled this in the store I might not have bought it but since I have it now and it is so different than the others in my collection it is worth keeping.

I will reach for this when I want to feel mature, life together, sophisticated, high class, powerful!!!

codymarieb

For me, this is just ok.

I blind purchased it hoping it would be a bit more woody and less tuberose but it is definitely HEAVY HEAVY on the tuberose.

Especially in the beginning, it's almost too much tuberose for me.

But this is a nice soft, fresh, clean, soapy, clean skin type of a white floral and it has old school classy vibes. To me I can picture a woman in her late 40's wearing an evening dress, going to a fancy dinner in 1990 - that's the vibe I get from this scent.

I haven't tried it on my skin yet but this is the impression I get from the bottle/atomizer.

Science&Scents

Prada la Femme is elegant, feminine and professional. I picked this up shortly before a symposium and brought it with me for this trip back in November. Although I was in a rather cold air conditioned room for several hours, this was able to generate a soft and pleasant sillage for 7+ hours. In the San Diego fall weather, she stretched her legs a little more but was at no point cloying. PLF is approachable but elevated; a wonderful reach for professional events that require some elbow rubbing and polite schmoozing.

The beeswax, frangipani and tuberose together are sweet and resinous; not to mention, the stars of the show here. I love mimosa in fragrance and can definitely pick it up here.

I'll reach for this when I have future events like the one detailed above. I can't see this being worn casually but that's more to do with personal taste and my specific scent memory, I expect. Wonderful frag!

LouiseEllis

Perfumeforlain she gave the exactly discription but I dont like the top note of it at all, that smell is sour and kinda weird to me. Yet after half an hour this is perfection :) Very pleasant and sensual with frangipani, honey, vanilla.
The only problem is it doensnt project much but it lasts very long though.
I really want to know more perfume with the combination of frangipani and vanille :)

Neosmiaphyte

I SHOULD love this. The notes and reviews are all right up my alley. Yet I really don’t. It is very soapy, clean, and fresh without being green. This is a sanitized shampoo version of the notes listed. Very disappointing

MonkeyPuppet

This is an issue of chemistry for me or my nose. On many days I smell sharp soap after 30 seconds of flowers. Sharp soap like Ivory Soap. So strange. It settles down a bit and then I layer it with Maison Francis Kurkdjian a l' rose to keep my focus on all of the flowers. It is a clean scent and very professional. I will figure out which days might give me a bit more of the described bouquet. Did I get a bottle that is off? I will smell it again someday in a tester bottle when the shops open again.

Prada La Femme by Prada is sweeter than what I usually go for in a fragrance but, this is not foody sweet it’s honey-floral goodness! I think the tuberose, frangipani, and ylang-ylang blend give this a feminine soapy floral vibe, while the vanilla is balanced out with the beeswax, there is something to that wax note- it is hard to describe, but it is definitely noticeable. I think this is great Easter fragrance as it would compliment tea length dresses, matching handbags, modest pumps, and pastel colored hats nicely!

This is a beautiful sweet floral fragrance. My mother loves this aswell but she says it doesn't have good longevity. It's not very complex but it's a sweet, clean expensive smelling floral pretty much.

Finally owning this. If you're a tuberose fan, you're probably gonna love it. I can't say I love it yet, still getting used to it, as it's not your typical fresh floral presentative. It's more yellow-floral, which means it's a little more intense for me, rich in creamy flowers. The tuberose is reeeeally dominant. Could be a little stronger for the springtime, so I think it's best for winter and probably March :)

I tried a few Prada's in my time and have been unsuccessful in finding a good fresh, floral or fruity selection😕. For someone who ditched Oriental fragrances since their tweens, this frag smells good. I wouldn't purchase for myself but do appreciate a good composition and give credit where/when due. This is really creamy, maybe with a lil mix of vanilla pudding. The top notes are nice and there are some woodsy notes that make this the SLIGHTEST bit sour. I wouldn't mind smelling this on someone.

EDIT: I'd recommend it. I wore my sample again today for the 2nd time, and I think I want to try the flankers. From the flankers I see, I think the L'eau version is right for me. C'mon guys, WISH ME LUCK! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

EDIT: 10/20/22:
Okay, so I forgot to update on whether I would lean towards purchasing a bottle of the original Prada Femme. I think I'll just enjoy the rest of my vial and wouldn't purchase, though I think it smells good. I also have a manufacturer's sample vial of Prada Femme L'eau, and I've finally come to the conclusion that it smells like Provocative by Avon. The bottle listed in Fragrantica is not the bottle I owned when I was 10-12 years old. My bottle had a red top from what I remember. It was not a black bottle. I just can't do that fragrance again at this age.
