It gets me down on my knees for the first hour. After that time, it starts smelling somehow masculine and soapy.
The opening is really sexy, actually reminds me a lot of Carolina Herrera Sexy 212.
It is actually the first perfume in my life I did love as far as opening was concerned and after an hour suddenly disliked it.
Not really worth trying, nothing spectacular, but most importantly, after an hour there is absolutely nothing feminine about it.
Worth having if you like masculine fragrances though :-)

sonia rykiel starts out strong, not delicate but powerful, kind of artificial may be, iris. patchouli, ylang ylang, rosemary are strong i get no rose, pineapple, white flowers, and the most turning off factor for me is the drydown, it smells like mens cologne, very masculine. nothing exquisite about this one.

For me it is the upgrade on Flowerbomb.I have it in every concentration, and I ADORE it...

SONIA RYKIEL opens very orange, so orange, in fact, that it immediately transports me back to Sevilla, with its abundant, overloaded naranjos, shimmering under the hot Spanish sun.
The oranges in SR are studded with a few spices and lightly sprayed with vanilla. The trees are flanked by planks of cedar and sandalwood, and tiny flowers pepper the path down which I am leisurely strolling, breathing in all of this beauty.
The drydown of SR reminds me of something that I have tried but do not own--it could be COCO MADEMOISELLE. In any case, the orange opening sets SONIA RYKIEL apart and makes me want to return to Andalucia again!

My 11 year old daughter told me she doesn't like this one she said to her it smells like Angel and now I can kind of smell that it sort of does. She uses one of my perfumes every day before school but she never uses this one!

It took me awhile to decide on this one. It is spicy and warm, however I really feel like I'm wearing a mens cologne when I have it on. If my boyfriend didn't dislike it so much I'd ask him to try it. I think it would smell great on a guy, but it's not feminine enough for me.

Rykiel Woman is all about seduction and intimacy, this one is all about happines and joyness. SR serves very young, chilled fragrance with little touch of Angel-note allure. Firstly, it bursts with pinneaple and fresh orange, then as times come it changes into spicy, more sensual spirit. Sonia's sweater is like funny-seductive veil, it has cosy warm and popping kicks in the same time.
There's no manner to not like this totally crazy, lovely perfume with parisian wink :)

I found a 1.7 oz of this at a fragrance store at the mall.It was a tester and full for $4.95 so I bought it and man let me say that this is a very warm sweet and luscious scent,I would bathe in this stuff.I have a few other by Sonia Rykiel but nothing comes close to this it is really nice really really nice!

Ester is right I think it is a Chypre Floral as well. My Mom has worn this since it came out and the she gets stopped by strangers wanting to know what it is. AMAZING SCENT!!!!! A MUST TRY!

I am wearing this one regularly. It is sweet but not too spicy as some orientals can be. I love the jasmin & amber notes which seem to last longest on me. Very warm and comfortable.

I was testing this one and Belle en Rykiel for the last week or so. The Sonia Rykiel fragrance was very lackluster on me. Pronounced sweet pineapple notes for about an hour, and then it was gone in a flash. Darn! I was very much looking forward to that beautiful woody/oriental dry-down, but I never made it there. If I didn't know this was an Oriental, I would have classified it as a fruity-floral based on its performance.
Must come down to chemistry. Flowerbomb is getting a lot of comparisons to Sonia Rykiel. I get a wonderful creamy floral effect with Flowerbomb and it lasts much longer on my skin than the Rykiel does.

A warm and very unique and distintive perfume where the "flower bomb" by Viktor and Rolf has such quite close similarity but without the intense body and lasting power of this fragrance.
