The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Romance Eau de Parfum Intense by Ralph Lauren is a multifaceted scent that marries bright citrus and aromatic notes with rich florals and woody depths. The composition opens with green mandarin and bergamot, creating an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the lush black currant and violet leaves. At its heart, rose and lily of the valley bring a delicate floral warmth, while sandalwood and cedarwood anchor the base with a grounding balsamic accord. It is a fragrance that balances bright energy with deep comfort, making it as suitable for daytime wear as it is for evening moments.
This fragrance blooms over time, so apply it to pulse points where your body heat can help awaken its layers. A light spritz in the morning will carry you through the day, evolving subtly as the florals and woods meld together.
