I was right after all

This fragrance is exclusively available at the perfume chain "Balster".
My first thoughts yesterday were: "It’s named after me and thus a scent that hardly anyone knows. It just has to please me and suit me."

One of the two older perfume experts (over 50) sprayed Mujer on a test strip, which she described as a floral scent, and I was immediately disappointed. In my opinion, Mujer smells quite spicy, and I did not like that spiciness. Both ladies responded to my question: "Every scent perception is different, and there is no spicy note in it."
In any case, I had Mujer sprayed on my forearm. After a while, I still couldn't warm up to it. The entire scent development is too intense, too spicy, and not a candidate for the autumn season.

For autumn, I prefer floral, slightly woody notes. A shared name does not reflect the personality and scent taste.

According to your scent description, I immediately smelled the coriander and the sage when testing, and thus I was right about the spicy note.

For my dear neighbor.

When I was little, I had a very dear neighbor, Mrs. Weinert. And I really mean just one, the other neighbors were not so nice to me.
Mrs. Weinert was a neat, charming, warm-hearted older lady who lived next door until her death. She had spent the prime of her life in South Africa and experienced quite a bit there. After her beloved husband passed away, we often met with her and helped out a bit around the house so she wouldn't be so lonely. I will never forget how her husband was buried; it was the first time in my life that I felt the sorrow of a person so closely, and I cried like a baby when she tearfully said goodbye to him at his coffin.

The reason I mention this is that my dear neighbor smelled exactly like this fragrance does on me. And although I find it floral-musty and wouldn't wear it myself, it joyfully and also a bit wistfully reminds me of that lovely person.

I find neither the bottle particularly beautiful nor the unbearably strong musty-jasmine scent that unfortunately does not change and apparently does not want to disappear. This is the first perfume that I have classified here for older ladies, even though I am middle-aged and generally open to everything, perhaps I am just not mature enough for this scent yet.

I still hope that the old lady is happily sitting in heaven with her husband and is pleased that I think of her while sniffing.

A floral scent with a certain extra. Despite the flowers, we become thick friends.

So, my blind purchase has arrived.
I was hoping for a spicier scent without too much floral heaviness.

My first impression:
In the top note, there is a lot of similarity to the old "Chloe (1975)". This resemblance remains for now, even though this scent feels a bit softer and not as piercing. In any case, I clearly perceive the top note, which is indicated as rather spicy in the fragrance pyramid, as floral. Violet - I seem to pick it out immediately in every perfume. I don't particularly love it, but I tolerate it quite well when it stays discreetly in the background. Somehow, a comparison from the kitchen comes to mind. Just as one softens the overpowering taste of a sauce with a bit of milk, I find the description "Chloe in milk" very fitting.
- Although it certainly does not smell a bit like milk - rather a tiny bit like coconut milk. It is in no way sweet or powdery, but I don't find it spicy either, which I find disappointing. Like "Cuero Mujer", it takes some time for it to really settle. Then the violet aromas also fade away.
The coconut-lemon appearance in the base note is very interesting. It is dominant and is at most supported by musk and vetiver. The scent is absolutely intriguing and, despite the floral notes, does not fit into the romantic or playful category at all. It is very self-assured, aloof, and feels (not smells) almost a bit strict - I think that has something!
Although floral scents usually don't appeal to me at all - this one develops into something quite special, becoming almost balsamic in the base and I like it very much. In the base note, the similarity to Chloe is no longer perceptible; instead, something very noble makes space, for whose scent I am at a loss for words. Unfortunately, the longevity and sillage do not really score points. When I have applied the scent, I have to re-spray several times a day.

Cleverly Composed Herb Cabinet!

This scent is a small universe in itself. A unique creation, slightly quirky. There's no shortage of spice, and flowers are present as well. Intensely herbal behavior alongside delicate aromas, herbaceous meets grassy. Exotic meets local. Initially a bit of an adjustment!
Then it gets better and better! A roundhouse in the nose and in the "smell brain"... herb maiden and bazaar!
Flower fairy and meadow elf.
Flower children dancing the flamenco. Impatience and gentleness in one! Also the herbal knowledge of white witches! Strength and delicacy.
Composed with cleverness and finesse. What else can I say??
Subtle! Uncertain?--- Fiery (clove) meets cool (coriander)... a kind of swirling pull is created. I've never smelled anything quite like it. A signature of a special kind... torn apart and reassembled. Not a "smooth scent"... many edges and corners. Fascinating in its inimitable way.
I really like it NOW! A tough guy and prima ballerina diva AND a boor. But never aggressive, a sheep in wolf's clothing - it has its own soul! :-))

A floral scent? Yes, but…

When my then favorite perfume was discontinued, I embarked on the arduous search for a new "everyday scent" and spent a long time sniffing through the shelves of the turquoise stores.

I have nothing against sweetness and I have nothing against flowers, but I do have something against "indifference." The scent should have a certain something for me - after all, I have my own edges and corners.

With Mujer, I found it back then: even the leather-wrapped bottle stands out a bit from the mass of flowers and butterflies.

The scent is a fresh floral fragrance with a few extras. It has a slightly herbal smell, and the lemon resonates from the top to the base, contributing freshness without being "citrusy."

In the heart note, I can most clearly smell the powdery violets and a bit of ylang-ylang from the flowers, while rose and gardenia waft by briefly, adding a slightly soapy touch. The clove subtly grounds the scent and gives it warmth - an interesting counterbalance to the lemon.

In the base, the freshness of the flowers (which can still be sensed) and lemon remain, with a slight creaminess from coconut and musk. I can't pinpoint vetiver.

To stay within the brand image of La Martina, I look for a horse analogy: Mujer smells like a ride through a summer heath landscape. Under the sun, you can smell flowers in the meadows, but also a hint of herbs and the spicy scent of bushes and shrubs. Additionally, you occasionally catch a whiff of the leather of the saddle gear with a slightly lemony note.

Mujer is definitely a floral scent, but without any sweetness. Instead, it has an unexpected freshness and slight herbaceousness that still doesn't take away from its appeal.

In the association, I agree with Noedde from the previous comment: not overly playful but still feminine, confident but not loud, independent, though not stubborn.

Longevity is average - for me about 4-6 hours, but I currently have terribly dry skin.
The sillage is very close to the body/moderate. Therefore, it is also suitable as a daytime or office scent. From today's perspective, I would say it is very subtle and probably best suited as a late spring and summer fragrance.
