The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2007 by Ralph Lauren, Chaps Woman was crafted by perfumer Jean-Marc Chaillan to evoke the essence of a vibrant and fresh summer day. The composition opens with tropical fruits like banana and carambola, mingling with red berries for a juicy, sun-soaked freshness that transitions into a heart of tuberose, jasmine, and frangipani. These white florals add an air of elegance and sweetness, while the woody base notes of woods and Virginia cedar provide warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Chaps Woman opens with a bright, fruity top that fades within an hour. To ensure the sweet and woody base notes are prominent throughout the day, apply two sprays to pulse points in the morning and again after lunch for full impact.
