The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ralph Wild by Ralph Lauren, launched in 2008 and crafted by perfumers Olivier Gillotin, James Krivda, and Linda Kramer, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that encapsulates the essence of summer freshness. The composition opens with vibrant notes of strawberry, watermelon, and cherry blossom, creating an immediate sense of joy and vitality. This fruity bouquet then transitions into a heart of red rose and jasmine, adding layers of floral complexity and sweetness. The base notes of musk and sandalwood provide warmth and depth, rounding out the fragrance with a touch of sensuality.

How to wear it

For best results, apply Ralph Wild to pulse points. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so a second application after an hour will help maintain the vibrant freshness throughout the day. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear when you want a light yet engaging scent.
