The story behind the bottle.
Midnight Romance by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2014 and crafted by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Honorine Blanc. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a burst of raspberry and litchi, creating an initial freshness that is both fruity and sweet. The heart introduces peony, freesia, jasmine sambac, and iris, blending floral notes into a harmonious blend that feels like the soft glow of candlelight in a dimly lit room. The base notes of vanilla and ambroxan add warmth and depth, creating an enveloping embrace that lingers long after application.
Apply this fragrance in light layers for a balanced experience. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so allow them to meld into the heart before reapplying if needed. The base notes will take center stage after about an hour, offering a rich, enveloping warmth that is perfect for evening wear.
