Lauren

The crispness of an early spring day when the air is filled with the promise of blooming flowers, yet still carries a subtle hint of earth and moss.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lauren by Ralph Lauren, launched in 1978 and crafted by Bernard Chant and Nicholas Calderone, is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the brand's signature elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with green notes and clary sage, giving way to an array of delicate florals such as lilac, lily-of-the-valley, cyclamen, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, violet, and carnation. This floral bouquet is grounded by woody and mossy accords like oakmoss, cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver, creating a harmonious blend that feels both fresh and warm.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms over time, so applying it in layers allows the complex notes to develop fully. A light spritz in the morning will carry you through the day as the floral heart unfolds, while an additional application can enhance its warm woody base in the evening.
