The answer

"After research, no one was found who attributed the saying 'Women are lust, and men desire women, and women desire adornment' to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or to the Companions or the Salaf. The verses of the Quran indicate that women are among the desires of men: 'Beautified for people is the love of desires, from women...' (Al-Imran: 14), and that women love adornment: 'Or is it one who is brought up in adornment while being in dispute, not clear?' (Az-Zukhruf: 18)."
