The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Legacy of English Elegance White Tea by Ralph Lauren is an aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of modern sophistication with a nod to classic British elegance. Perfumer Carlos Benaïm crafted this unisex scent around a white tea accord that intertwines with fresh and green notes, creating a clean and crisp profile. The heart offers a delicate balance between floral and fruity elements, while soft spicy nuances and an ozonic touch add depth and modernity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — its fresh and green notes are best appreciated when they're allowed to develop naturally on the skin. It's ideal for daytime wear as it maintains a bright yet composed presence throughout the day.
