The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Ralph Love by Ralph Lauren is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance created by perfumers Cecile Hua and Irina Burlakova. The composition opens with the luscious freshness of red apple, leading into a heart of pink rose that adds an intoxicating floral touch. The base note of cotton candy provides a sweet, gourmand finish that evokes the carefree spirit of a first crush. This fragrance captures the essence of a playful and romantic date on a sunny day.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm hug that lasts throughout the day. The red apple top note is bright but fleeting, so reapply after an hour or two if you want to maintain its initial freshness. The cotton candy base will linger longer, offering a sweet finish that stays close to skin.
