About Wouldn’t You Like To Know For Her
Wouldn’t You Like To Know For Her is a honeyed floral eau de parfum for women, inspired by Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. It is glamorous in an obvious, glittering way, and it enjoys itself enormously.
The opening is sharp and golden. Neroli brings a clean, slightly bitter orange blossom brightness and bitter orange adds a zesty tang, so the first few minutes are crisp rather than sweet. It is a deceptive beginning.
Arabian jasmine absolute carries the heart, and absolute is the important word: this is jasmine at full strength, rich, indolic and almost creamy, with a depth that ordinary jasmine notes never reach. It fills out the fragrance quickly and gives it a distinctly sensual quality.
Then honey and patchouli finish the job. Honey is thick, warm and golden, giving the dry-down its unmistakable sweetness, and patchouli sits beneath it with an earthy bitterness that keeps everything anchored. The last hours are warm, sticky and close to the skin, and they last well into the night.
Wear it in autumn and winter evenings, to parties, dinners, birthdays and nights out. Two or three sprays, since honey expands as it warms. It suits wearers who enjoy being noticed, and it is one of the most frequently complimented fragrances we sell at any price. Apply it to bare skin rather than a dress, because honey and patchouli cling to fabric long after you have moved on to something else.
If you love Lady Million
If you love Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, this shares its DNA in the bright citrus and neroli opening, the rich jasmine heart and the honeyed, patchouli-grounded base that gives the original its glittering, golden character.
Ours is a little more floral. The jasmine absolute is more prominent through our middle, which deepens the fragrance sooner, where the original keeps its fruity brightness for longer. Our honey is comparable in richness, though the patchouli underneath is slightly drier. Both project well and last around eight hours, holding on clothing for longer. It is a fragrance inspired by that profile with a similar character, and an original composition rather than a reproduction of it.

When to wear it
Autumn and winter evenings, when cool air carries honey and jasmine without making them heavy. It is a party fragrance at heart, suited to dinners, birthdays and nights out rather than a working morning. Two or three sprays, applied to the throat and wrists and left to warm. The 50ml at R120 is the popular size for a fragrance kept for weekends.
Questions people ask
Does Wouldn’t You Like To Know For Her smell like Lady Million?
It shares the same honeyed floral character and bright citrus opening that make Lady Million by Paco Rabanne so recognisable. Ours is an original composition inspired by that fragrance rather than a reproduction, and it is more floral.
Is it very sweet?
The honey makes it sweet, yes, but the bitter orange and patchouli give it enough sharpness and earth to stop it from becoming sugary.
How long does it last?
Around eight hours on skin, and longer on clothing. The honey and patchouli base is tenacious and stays close to the body once the opening has faded.
Is it suitable for a special occasion?
It is a good choice for birthdays, parties and year-end celebrations. It has presence and it is widely liked, which is a useful combination.
